Paris St Germain snatched their fifth French league title in six years in style on Sunday and won a fifth consecutive League Cup, yet it is their incapacity to set a European milestone that will mostly be remembered from their season.


PSG, who bought Brazil striker Neymar for a world record transfer fee of 222 million euros ($273.6 million) and also attracted French prodigy Kylian Mbappe, were knocked out in the last 16 of the Champions League by Real Madrid.


Spanish fullback Yuri Berchiche believes that Ligue 1 is to blame.


“The rivals of PSG are not strong enough,” he told Le Journal du Dimanche on Sunday.
