Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have been receiving criticism after their first home league loss in two years. On October 7th, PSG lost to Montpellier 1-0 at the Parc des Princes, ending their unbeaten streak of 27 consecutive home matches in Ligue 1.
The loss was a shock to many fans and pundits alike, as PSG had been dominating the French top flight since their last home loss in 2017. The team had won the Ligue 1 title in each of the past two seasons and were widely expected to make it three in a row this season.
However, the loss to Montpellier has raised questions about the team’s ability to compete at the highest level. Critics have pointed to PSG’s lack of depth in the squad, as well as their reliance on star players such as Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
The team has also been accused of lacking motivation and intensity in their performances. This was evident in the match against Montpellier, as PSG failed to create any clear-cut chances and were easily outplayed by their opponents.
Despite the criticism, PSG remain one of the strongest teams in Europe and are still favorites to retain their Ligue 1 title this season. However, the loss to Montpellier has highlighted some of the weaknesses in their squad and they will need to address these issues if they are to remain competitive at the highest level.
It remains to be seen if PSG can bounce back from their first home league loss in two years and reclaim their place at the top of French football.
