The Ligue 1 It was the first of the major European championships to confirm that it will not complete its season due to the emergence of the Covid-19. The government of Emmanuel Macron He made the decision to suspend the championship, with the decision derived from the league to grant the leader, PSG, the title of champion. A poisoned title that leaves the club at a crossroads and its two great stars in a delicate situation, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Junior.
For the Parisian club, not only is the good news not even more profound, but it is also facing an earthquake that will hardly come out unscathed. The president and owner of the club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, assured that the Paris Saint-Germain faces “colossal” losses due to coronavirus crisis and the consequent suspension of the league. It is estimated that these economic damages could reach the 200 million euros, becoming a serious condition for one of the most powerful soccer teams on the planet.
Macron’s decision also affects a lot in the sporting field of the entity. Like Olympique Lyon, PSG was immersed in the last 16 of the Champions League, being one of the great favorites for the title. The maximum continental competition will continue until its completion, but The Princes Park team would be forced to compete in inferior conditions, without Ligue 1 in which to ‘get started’ – he was a virtual champion – and possibly without being able to play his matches in France.
The continuity of Mbappé, in question
The Champions League is Al-Khelaifi’s dream and his way to continue to have the project’s two great stilettos in the medium term. Neymar and Mbappé do not have their continuity assured in Paris and the consequences of the coronavirus in the club bring him closer to an exit for which Real Madrid is very pending, especially in the case of Kylian, a forbidden dream for the entity of the Santiago Bernabéu.
Mbappé continues without accessing the PSG renewal proposals to extend a contract that ends in 2022. More and more voices are recommending a departure from his hometown and Real Madrid appears as the only alternative to sign a player who is called to succeed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the highest in world football.
