Reports the club booked the boulevard for a Champions League victory party have now been denied, as they deal with the fallout of defeat to Barcelona
Paris Saint-Germain continued to grapple with the fallout from their astonishing collapse against Barcelona by rubbishing reports they sought to book out the Champs-Elysees for a Champions League victory parade.
Unai Emery's men thrashed Barca 4-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes last month but conceded three goals in seven minutes to succumb to a 6-1 reverse at Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Barcelona's comeback has already been hailed as one of the greatest in the history of sport, but being on the receiving end of such heroics can be a trying experience.
