PSG is one of the most important teams in recent years. Since the Qatari owners bought the team in 2011, it was clear that they wanted to make a total revolution in football. We will never know for sure if it was a whim of the Middle-east millionaires, a publicity stunt for the Qatar World Cup.

Or even if it was to extend the economic dominance now to the beautiful game. Anyway, the reality is that the team has changed a lot since then. At the beginning of the century, the dominant team in France was Olympique Lyon, who won seven consecutive leagues. Now that's over.

Although Paris Saint Germain has not been able to emulate such a winning streak, there is one thing other teams will never be able to compare on: budget. In that, no one is close to the power of the Qataris. Just to give an idea of the money they have, we have to remember the summer of 2017. There the intention of the PSG administration was clear.

That year Kylian Mbappé arrived on loan and at the same time, Neymar arrived with a record figure of almost 250 million euros. Something that until now has unbalanced the player market, causing teams to pay 100 million for players who have not proven to be worth half of what they pay for them.

Messi substituted in the match against Benfica

Now , speaking of what interests us. PSG's road to the Champions League final has just hit its first big hurdle in Portugal. They drew against Benfica and the worst of all is that Messi didn't finish the game. But according to his words, there is nothing to worry about: "He signaled that he wanted to come to off. On the final sprint, he felt tired" he told the press after the match.
