Paris Saint-Germain havefailed to achieve their main goal again this season, towin the UEFA Champions League.As a result of Karim Benzema’s 17-minute hat trick, the French side crashed early out of theChampions League for the second time in three years.

Even though the Red-and-Blueshavespent a lot of time and money on this tournament, it seems like a significant downward step after reaching the Final and Semi-Finals in successive seasons. The wealthy Qatari owners have pumped out an incredible sum of around €1.5 billion since the takeover in 2011, bringing in the world’s biggest stars in order to finally put their hands on the European club champions crown.

As a result,the French media also announce a sensational development of events, as the Qatari ownerscould be forced to make some drastic moves.
