Paris Saint-Germain were “stupid” to spend an estimated €400 million in signing Neymar and Kylian Mbappe if all they will clinch this season is the Ligue 1 title, the French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet has said.
Their Champions League campaign had been plain sailing until Tuesday night’s 3-1 defeat at Bayern Munich that led the club’s CEO and chairman, Nasser Al Khelaifi, to order Unai Emery’s men to “wake up now.”
Le Graet told RMC that the club’s owners, Qatar Sports Investments, might regret spending so much if their only return this season is domestic trophies.
“PSG have great players and I’m convinced that it’s a lesson they will learn well,” he said. “We need PSG. I have often said it as a joke, but if PSG signed those players to be French champions, it’s stupid.
“You don’t need to spend so much money to win the French title. But, at the end of the day, they have still finished top of their group.”
