  • PSG Sporting Director did not hesitate to soil his hands after his side surrendered a two-nil lead against Lille
  • Perhaps his unorthodox approach inspired the players to claw from 3-2 down to seal a nerve-shredding 4-3 win on Sunday
  • He earlier stormed into the PSG dressing room at half-time of last week's match against Monaco with the team trailing 3-1 at halftime

Paris Saint-Germain survived a nail-bitting seven-goal thriller thanks to a late strike from Lionel Messi.

The Ligue 1 leaders were on a three-match losing streak and were on the brink of extending their poor run with three minutes left on the clock.

Sporting Director Luis Campos, who has been in the news for the wrong reasons all week, took centre stage again.

This time, the PSG chief stepped down from the director's box and began to give instructions to the players in the dying embers of the match.

Campos, who was visibly unhappy with the team's performance, stood right next to Galtier as he barked instructions.

PSG coach cautions players

Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier wants his players to stay quiet and work hard ahead of their Champions League Round of 16 second-leg tie against Bayern Munich.

The Parisians suffered a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to the Bavarians at the Parc des Princes. They will need to overturn the result in the reverse fixture at the Allianz Arena on March 8.

According to Sportskeeda, Galtier has now urged his PSG team to enjoy working together and stay focused on the task ahead.

PSG contacts Mourinho

Jose Mourinho is a proven winner, and it is no surprise the veteran Portuguese manager is now on the radar of Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, Sports Brief earlier reported.

PSG are desperate to win the UEFA Champions League, and the club’s latest setback in the last-16 first-leg tie against Bayern Munich has got the French club looking for options.

According to Get French Football News, PSG’s sporting director Luís Campos has contacted his fellow countryman and AS Roma head coach Mourinho as they look to replace Christophe Galtier.
