PSG fans reminisce about the era with Neymar and Messi. But a third name will leave them

Dortmund reached the Champions League final for the first time since 2011. They beat PSG 1-0 in both semi-final matches and advanced to the next stage thanks to excellent defensive performances and well-placed sticks, which the French hit six times throughout the double-header.

Before the first semi-final, Dortmund had little faith in PSG and nobody would have predicted a final for Borussia at the start of the competition. But she made it through the group of death, knocking out upstart Eindhoven, erratic Atlético and finally PSG.

Revenge for 2020

The Parisian side managed to knock out Borussia in their last confrontation in the Champions League, in the eighth final of the 2019/20 edition.

“We thought it was going to be like 2020, but we forgot we didn’t have Neymar, ” wrote PSG fan Felipe in a liked comment on the Instagram post.

Neymar played a key role in the double-header, scoring one goal in each of the two matches. It was the Brazilian who played a key role in advancing to the final, where the French fell to Bayern Munich.

The entire Paris team celebrated the progress over Dortmund provocatively by celebrating Erling Haaland. The Norwegian scored two goals in the opening game, but was silent in the rematch. Dortmund’s social networks struck back after Borussia’s progress on Tuesday by retweeting a four-year-old tweet.

The wait for the PSG trophy continues

Many of the user comments were also provocative in nature. “The biggest trophy won by PSG is Lionel Messi’s Ballon d’Or,” a PSG fan alluded to the fact that the club’s wealthy owners are still waiting for a proper international trophy.

But when the French giant’s supporters come across names like Messi or Ronaldo, they will have to get used to lesser-known brands.

The third megastar, Kylian Mbappé, is also coming to an end and will head to Real Madrid after the end of the current competition season. The French club is now facing a rebuilding of its squad, with the help of younger but promising footballers.
