    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The former Barcelona coach has long been celebrated for his tactical acumen, but questions linger about his demeanour under pressure. PSG recently showcased a more intense, passionate style, yet this incident suggests the club may be reverting to a more controversial, feisty approach.

  • WHAT MARKUS BABBEL SAID

    In a recent interview with ran,ex-Germany international Babbel was asked for his reaction to the incident, and he didn’t hold back, saying: "It was disturbing for me, because that's not appropriate. A coach has to keep a cool head and get his players out of this mess. And I found it very strange that he allowed himself to be so violent and then talked bullsh*t to explain his behaviour. We've all recently fallen in love with the way PSG plays football. But this was a relapse into the darker past. They presented themselves as truly sore losers."
