Giuly on PSG’s struggles at Monaco

Ludovic Giuly, former winger of Paris Saint-Germain, provided a clear analysis of Paris's defeat in Monaco for Canal +. According to him, PSG lacked energy and technical mastery. He emphasizes the mental impact and major absences.

Giuly "It's just a mental issue"

"Compared to Tottenham, where it was the great PSG, we found ourselves with a team that had no energy, many technical errors in the midfield even though it's the team's strong point. The guys are not superhuman and when three great players are missing, the team is less good. It was a match without energy. Monaco didn't play a great match either but it was enough to upset PSG that night. It's just a mental issue."

Ludovic Giuly's reading deviates from the usual criticism of game plans: for him, this Monaco/PSG mainly revealed a problem of energy, almost of spirit. The Parisian team, deprived of three key players who are usually driving forces, lost the technical cohesion that is usually its strength in the midfield.

Giuly reminds us that players, no matter how talented, are not inexhaustible: when rotation is forced and the pace is relentless, the slightest hitch becomes a mountain. Paris seemed drained, lacking inspiration. What stands out in his analysis is the mental dimension of the match: Monaco did not dominate overwhelmingly, but just enough to disrupt a Parisian team that lacked the necessary spark.
