The powerful history of the Tottenham and a losing culture carefully constructed at PSG came together in a beautiful evening of Champions League failure...
It is impossible to conceive two more heritage-fuelled, introspection-demanding, pathetic but ultimately inevitable simultaneous Champions League exits. Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain, perennial pretenders in Europe’s VIP section, did not manage a single goal between them in being dumped out of the competition by continental royalty.
Both will part with their managers at the end of mutually miserable seasons. Both will continue the process of ultimate failure this summer. Neither will learn from the innumerable mistakes they have made to find themselves locked in that risible cycle.. Harry Kane completed the first season of his Champions League career without a non-penalty goal. Cristian Romero fulfilled his manifest destiny.
“My contract expires in June,” said the Italian after the game. “We will see – they might sack me even before the end of the season, who knows,” he added, struggling to mask his excitement at the mere prospect.on a more granular level. Tottenham are fourth in the Premier League but the games in hand possessed by the two teams directly below them muddy those waters somewhat. They have not managed three consecutive league wins all season.
Not even he, the 180-cap Spain international, five-time world and six-time European champion for club and country, and winner of 27 trophies in an illustrious career, could override the losing culture at PSG, much like no-one has proven capable of rewriting . They are brothers in flailing arms, fated to forever stamp on and stumble over each other’s feet in the dance of incompetence. And Wednesday evening was a dual achievement in awfulness.
