DBasia.news – Tottenham Hotspur coach, Jose Mourinho, said that Paris Saint-Germain would only waste money if they fail to win the Champions League title.
Compared to Bayern who have already had experience, PSG has only reached the Champions League final for the first time. Les Parisiens have invested in recruiting top European players in order to realize the ambition of being champions.
Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Mauro Icardi, are examples of names that have become PSG’s long-term projects. Now they are just one step away from holding the Champions League title.
Although this season they have successfully advanced to the final and has the potential to win the Champions League title, Mourinho sees PSG as a failed team as they only have a chance to win it this season. Meanwhile, in previous seasons he failed in the Champions League despite investing a lot.
“I think it was a failure that they didn’t win it (the Champions League) in the previous two seasons because for five or six years the investment was crazy, the list of top players who were there was incredible,” Mourinho told DAZN.
“For how many seasons Thiago Silva was there, Marquinhos was there, and then all the big players, Ibra (Zlatan Ibrahimovic), (Edinson) Cavani, Neymar, (Kylian) Mbappe.”
This is, of course, their dream and for the first time they have arrived in a situation like this and this is the kind of game these players (top players) usually develop in, even if I think that as a team they are nothing from another world, this is a player from another world, “added the man nicknamed The Special One.
For Bayern and PSG, the chance to win the title in the match will be winning the treble. Bayern have won two domestic titles and so has PSG.
Hans-Dieter Flick’s Bayern eliminated Chelsea (7-1 on aggregate), Barcelona (8-2) and Olympique Lyonnais (3-0) before going to the final. Meanwhile, PSG eliminated Borussia Dortmund (3-2 on aggregate goals), Atalanta (2-1), and RB Leipzig (3-0) to the final.
