Everything had however started well for the supporters of Paris Saint-Germain. Gathered in a procession organized by the Collectif ultra Paris not far from the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium, five hundred red and blue fans strolled through the streets, with loud chants and smoke bombs to the Madrid stadium, in a beautiful atmosphere.
In the stands, the 1,800 Parisian fans made more noise than the 58,000 Madrid residents, until that fateful 60th minute, and Gianluigi Donnarumma’s error, synonymous with an equalizer for Real. The rest, we know: 2-1, then 3-1 and the White House thanks to a power 3 Karim Benzema qualified for the quarter-finals.
An hour after the final whistle, Paris Saint-Germain supporters finally emerge from the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium, the scene of yet another European nightmare. Anthony, staring into space, may replay the film of the match, he does not understand how Paris could sink in this way. “It’s a sketch“, he gets carried away at the microphone of France Bleu Paris. “We take two goals in 20 minutes, we do anything, I’m very disappointed.“
Pochettino in the sights of supporters, Mbappé spared
Player, staff, leaders everyone takes for his rank, Grégoire is particularly angry with a man. “They should fire Pochettino tonight, we have to change everything, the players, the staff, the leaders“, he launches. “Kylian Mbappé is right to want to leave, that he stays in Madrid this (Tuesday) evening. He’s right.“
Kylian Mbappé, the only player saved by the Parisian vengeance. “He may have been the only one who had a reason not to play tonight, and he was the one who had the best game“, loose Mohamed. “He can leave through the front door, we can’t even blame him.“
Other players are less spared, for example Lionel Messi and Neymar: “They are in early retirement, they never make the difference“, gets angry Samir. “We would have to change everything, but we know that it will not happen. We do the bullshit to believe it every time.“
I’m a subscriber, but I don’t know, if I’m going to go back to the stadium, I’m fed up – Thierry, supporter
With this elimination, Paris only has the championship, which is already almost folded, so the end of the season is likely to be long for the supporters. “The championship, who cares, the Coupe de France we are eliminated, the season is over“, gets annoyed Thibault.
Disappointed supporters who will have the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction on Sunday, at 1 p.m. with the reception of Bordeaux at the Parc des Princes.
