Paris Saint-Germain's defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League has sparked a wave of criticism, including from former player Thierry Henry. The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker expressed his concerns about the Parisian team's performance, noting that despite having a balanced team, they lack that standout player who can change the course of a game.

"Yes, the team is balanced and had possession, but that was it. And that's not enough," Henry said in an interview with 'CBS'. "You don't have that player who makes the team pivot like you used to. You can see that there's an idea, that the players know what to do, but when they got into the box, except for Barcola who tried things, we didn't see much. It's normal that right now Arsenal is beating Paris Saint-Germain at home, especially this Paris Saint-Germain...".

Henry's words reflect a growing sense that PSG's ambitious project has yet to fully solidify in Europe. Despite having a squad filled with star players and a massive investment, the Parisian team has struggled to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

An ambitious project with questionable results

Since the arrival of Qatari owners, PSG has become one of the most powerful teams in the world. The signing of world-class players like Neymar and Mbappé has generated great excitement and placed the Parisian team in the spotlight of international football.

However, the sporting results have not always lived up to expectations. Despite dominating French football, PSG has struggled to advance in the Champions League, the competition they have set as their primary goal.

Criticism multiplies

The defeat against Arsenal has reignited criticism of PSG's project. Many experts and fans question the effectiveness of the club's strategy and wonder if the massive investment in big-name players is paying off.

Furthermore, the lack of team identity and the difficulty in finding a unique playing style have been questioned. Despite having an experienced coach like Luis Enrique, PSG continues to show some instability in their performance.

The future of the project

The future of PSG's project is uncertain. The pressure to win the Champions League is increasing and fans are beginning to lose patience. The Qatari owners will have to make important decisions in the coming months to try to change the situation and meet expectations.

Signing new players, letting go of some of the current ones, and changing the club's philosophy are some of the options being considered. What is clear is that PSG needs to find a formula to transform its potential into titles and stop being a team that generates great expectations but fails to meet them.
