Haven made clear their pursuit of glory in the Europe’s biggest soccer contest, the hierarchy at PSG reacted to their three consecutive quarter-final exit in the Champions League by relieving Laurent Blanc of his managerial duties despite his exploits in the domestic scene.

Thus, Unai Emery who led Sevilla to three successive Europa League triumphs was drafted in to replicate the same impact at the capital club. This season has been much tighter, and to be honest, much more entertaining, but it brings into question the appointment of the manager, a second nature to Laurent Blanc’s tenure. The team is less effiecient and altogether seems to be a step below last year’s team.
