Regarding the narrative of PSG resting their players in the league

Now I might just be getting old, but do fans over here really not remember Milan in the 2000s not giving a fuck about their league and always resting their players to play in the UCL? Berlusconi only gave a damn about the UCL and so did the team

It's why they won a whopping 1 league title in 8 years under Ancelotti but always used to go deep in the UCL

Milan never took the league seriously and would give up quite early. The UCL was their bread and butter and they thrived in it.

No one made an issue of it then or used that a reason for them winning the UCL

Real Madrid did this in 1998 and 2000 as well, finishing 4th and 5th in the league respectively. They couldn't care less about the league and put all the eggs in the UCL basket and it paid off

PSG are not doing something new, it just so happens that their league is weak enough that they can win with rotated squads as well

Also important to note that most PSG players this year have been severely injury prone due to the exhausting nature of last season. All the PSG players played way more in the league last year compared to this year

Bizarre narrative being pushed by the media, it's nothing we haven't seen before
