PSG's Barca woe not good for France, says Monaco boss Jardim

PSG's Champions League humiliation at Barcelona reflects badly on Ligue 1 and French football, says Leonardo Jardim.

Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim took little pleasure from Paris Saint-Germain's astonishing Champions League collapse against Barcelona.

The Ligue 1 champions took a 4-0 last-16 advantage to Camp Nou on Wednesday, although nerves were jangling early in the second half when Lionel Messi made it 3-0 to Barca on the night from the penalty spot.

PSG briefly sprung from their defensive shell to score through top marksman Edinson Cavani – the away goal meaning Barcelona needed three more to progress.
