The defeat of PSG against Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-final was indeed a shocking turnaround, reminiscent of past disappointments in football history, such as the infamous defeat of France against Bulgaria in 1993. Just like in that match, where Emil Kostadinov’s late goal shattered France’s hopes of qualifying for the World Cup, Chelsea’s late goals inflicted a similar blow to PSG’s aspirations.
The image of Chelsea fans displaying a Kostadinov jersey in front of Laurent Blanc, PSG’s coach, after the second goal, was a painful reminder of past failures. This incident was seen as particularly cruel and disrespectful towards Blanc, evoking memories of the heartbreak suffered by France in 1993.
In light of PSG’s Champions League exit and the disappointment faced by Blanc, questions have arisen about his future as a coach. The Africa Top Sports.com community survey reflects the uncertainty surrounding Blanc’s coaching tenure at PSG, with opinions divided on whether he can continue in his role.
Overall, the defeat against Chelsea not only dealt a blow to PSG’s Champions League ambitions but also raised doubts about Blanc’s ability to lead the team forward.
