A show business club, harsh words from Patrice Evra who criticizes this team

Patrice Evra, a former French player for Manchester United, believes that in Paris they are more aware of what happens off the pitch than on the pitch and that is why they still have not won a Champions League.

The words of the former left back have hit like a slap in Paris. He has been very forceful with them in a year where they will only be able to win Ligue 1. They were eliminated from the Cup in France, and fell to Bayern in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

More aware of the show that is generated in the stands than on the pitch. It is a show club where football is not the priority.

It's more difficult to play in Paris than Manchester United or Real Madrid because of the pressure and the huge expectation, but I have a problem in Paris, we roll out the red carpet to the whole world.

It was Dani Alves, with a past at PSG, at the time who told me that we are never going to win the Champions League. You get here and you see that we are rockstars.

Evra's opinion on PSG

In the stands you don't see Bernard Lamas, but the Kardashians and company. It's a show club. Football is not the priority, no. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi loves the club, but he fails to communicate. When I go to see a game in Paris, it's like going to see a concert. I'm in the VIP room, champagne, petit fours, but guys, where are the legends? When you go to Old Trafford, my name is written on the seat and the names of the legends that have passed through there. There is no Leonardo Di Caprio coming to watch the game, we are not in Hollywood.
