PSG broke several negative records by losing to Newcastle. The worst period since the start of the Qatari era?

While Newcastle experienced a dream night in the Champions League on Wednesday that will long be remembered, PSG continue their horrible start to the new season. A few unwanted milestones have even been broken.

It was 2011 when PSG began to transform into a superteam under wealthy Qatari owners. Gradually, it managed to dominate France, but the main goal is still far away. And instead of getting closer, it’s getting further away.

In the Champions League, Paris can’t and won’t succeed. The arrival of Lionel Messi or Neymar, complemented by Kylian Mbappé, has not helped. Now only the latter is in the team and there are still many different speculations around him.

This season was supposed to be the start of a new era. A lot of big names left, a new coach Luis Enrique came in, but it can’t be said that this era started very well. Nine competitive games, only four wins, three draws and two losses.

That last loss came on Wednesday night at Newcastle, who like PSG have wealthy owners, but unlike the French outfit are building a squad built on teamwork and character, not just individual qualities.

The Parisians lost in England by the difference of class (4: 1) and to make matters worse, several unwanted records were broken. At least within the Qatari era of the club.

The last time PSG conceded four goals in the Champions League group stage was in 2001. The loss to Newcastle is the worst within the Champions League groups since the arrival of the rich owners.

To make matters worse, coach Enrique is off to his worst ever start among Les Parisiens coaches since 2009. No one has done this badly in their first nine games since the Antoine Kombouaré era.

Can PSG recover?
