Much rather watch the Play Offs, all of the money PSG have thrown at getting a Champions League winning team only to still not even have reached a Final is very funny mind.
It says a lot about Ligue 1 that Europe's top bauble has been won only once in 68 years by a French club (i.e. Marseille), especially as France produces such a successful national side.
That puts France up there with Scotland (Celtic), Romania (Steaua Bucharest) and Yugoslavia (RedStar Belgrade) whereas teams from the more modest Eredivisie have won it six times with three different clubs.
On the other hand, England's haul of 15 trophies (and with 6 different clubs) belies the lack of success of the national team - and we know why regarding recent decades.
2020 doesn’t count - Covid.
Seriously, it shows how much attention I pay to the Champions League - there was something in the back of my mind wondering if they’d reached a Final, but I honestly couldn’t remember it. Anyway, the point still stands - would the moneybags owners of PSG have gone ahead with their take over thirteen years ago if they knew that they’d only have one, losing, Champions League Final appearance by 2024? It’s a huge under achievement.
