It seems you just can't win the CL if you play in the French farmers league. By far the weakest of the big 5, also historically. Only 1 French team to win the CL in history is piss poor, and no European Cup wins or Europa Cup/Europa League wins.
Neymar did a suicide going to France, especially as he strives to be the best player in the world. Can't be that when you play in a league like that.
Not to forget last year they had one of the easiest routes ever to a final. Dortmund, Atalanta and Leipzig. Especially the last two are teams without any noteworthy experience in this tournament.
