Former Paris Saint-Germain footballer Rafinha spoke about his time at the club when Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar all played together, Idman.biz reports.
“During preseason, at the very first training session when everyone was there, I immediately said: ‘This just can’t work.’ Let’s start with the goalkeeper: Navas or Donnarumma - one of them won’t play and will get angry. There will be arguments and conflicts with the coach.
In defense - Marquinhos, the main player who can’t be replaced, Kimpembe, a PSG idol, and Sergio Ramos. Top defenders in every position. In attack - Di María, Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi. Who do you leave out? Di Maria? With his influence and respect in the team? You can’t just bench him. It couldn’t work.
For the coach, it was an impossible situation. It was the best team in the world in terms of names and player quality, but incredibly difficult to manage. I wasn’t playing at that time, so I just watched from the sidelines,” Rafinha told Lance.
Last season, PSG - without Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi - won the UEFA Champions League.
