PSG stumbled in the last matchday of Ligue 1 against Reims and the criticism focused on the poor defensive contribution of its main stars, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. In this context, Christophe Galtier, coach of the Parisians, had enough of the questioning and made a decision regarding the role of his attacking trident.
One of the situations that triggered a major conflict was when Yunis Abdelhamid, captain of Reims, mocked PSG after the 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes. The midfielder argued that Messi, Mbappé and Neymar do not defend, which is why it was easy for the modest club to equalize, last time out.
The Parisian rival's comments generated dissatisfaction among the fans, who questioned the trident's lack of contribution when the ball goes beyond their zone of interaction.

Faced with constant criticism, Galtier refused to polemicize and remained firm in his decision not to move any of his main stars. The coach, in a press conference, maintained, "We have 3 top level attacking players in Leo, Mbappé and Neymar. To say that we have to play two of them to make the team more balanced is a mistake. We won't make decisions depending on a single match."
