Bayern Munich dumped them out in the first knockout round 3-0 on aggregate, with Wednesday’s 2-0 win in Germany sealing the victory.
A team with the two most expensive players of all time – Neymar, who was injured for the second leg, and Kylian Mbappe – as well as arguably the greatest player in the history of football, Lionel Messi, failed to score over 180 minutes.
“The Paris St-Germain project was built to win the Champions League and they’ve been miles off it. It ultimately looks like it’s going to be a failure,” said former Chelsea playmaker Joe Cole on BT Sport.
Ex-England midfielder Owen Hargreaves said: “They have so many brilliant individuals. It’s not a team. It’s a shame. They’ve put so many fabulous players together but if anything, they’re going backwards.”
PSG manager Christophe Galtier said: “It’s a big disappointment. We have to deal with it and accept it.
“I don’t know if it’s a lesson to be learned, but there’s a lot of frustration. If we’d scored first, it would have been different, but we didn’t.”
