“You can’t do everything with money alone”

From the dream: Paris SG will not win the soccer Champions League this season either, the French star ensemble said goodbye in the round of 16 against FC Bayern, who did not concede a single goal in 180 minutes – a sign of high quality.

Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and whatever their names are, they all struggled against the strong defensive line of Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano and Josip Stanisic. “Bayern have a team shaped to win the Champions League. And as for us, this is our maximum. We will question ourselves”said World Cup top scorer Mbappe with great disillusionment.

Once again, mega-investments from Qatar have not brought the desired international success. “Another European fiasco for Paris”found “Le Figaro”. “liberation” wrote that the club “at flop level” act.

“You can see that you can’t do everything with money alone, but that there is a lot of structure and development work involved”Bayern President Herbert Hainer could not resist a subtle tip to the opponent. “The success speaks for itself. We go our own way, that’s the FC Bayern way. We want to generate everything from our own resources”said the 68-year-old.

The tills are now ringing in Munich. Promotion to the last eight, which AC Milan also managed with a 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur, guarantees a further €10.6m. This increased the seasonal premiums in the “premier class” to a total of 89.02 million. In the event of winning the title, Munich would come to 121.52 million euros plus viewer income and distributions from the UEFA market pool in the two-digit million range.
