FIFA 20
It’s hard to feel sorry for PSG, but Neymar and his ultra-rich mates do find some hilarious ways of getting dumped out of the Champions League every season. There’s a theory that they’re so used to swatting aside every other French team that they’ve forgotten how to defend against good sides… and in recent years, FIFA has had a similar issue.
