Champions League Round of 16: PSG 1-2 Real Madrid - 5 Talking Points

#1 Unai Emery bound to get the sack

Emery may no longer have a future in Paris

Failure to deliver success in the UEFA Champions League may result in manager Unai Emery losing his job either imminently or at the end of the season.

Paris Saint Germain President Nasser Al-Khelafi had appointed Emery following his success in the Europa League, winning it three consecutive times with former club Sevilla.

However, Emery has not been able to replicate his success in Europe's elite competition.

Last season, PSG got eliminated in the quarterfinals following a shambolic 6-1 loss to Barcelona in the second leg despite leading 4-0 on aggregate.

This season, he has been unable to solve both the on-field and off the field issues. He has not been in total control of the dressing room.

The very first instance has to be with respect to the spot-kick duties, which caused a dispute between Neymar and Cavani. Another situation was when second choice goalkeeper Kevin Trapp voiced his concerns at a lack of playing time.

Instead of assigning the penalty duties to either Cavani or Neymar, the Spaniard decided to let the two superstars sort out their disagreement instead of taking charge and selecting a designated penalty taker.

The PSG manager has had a rough time managing and taking control over the big names of the club which has led to there being a divide within the squad.
