Paris Saint-Germain suffered yet another setback in their quest for European glory after Bayern Munich dumped the French giants out of the Champions League at the round-of-16 stage on Wednesday.

Les Parisiens had an uphill task of overturning a 1-0 first-leg defeat in the reverse fixture; however, they left the Allianz Arena with their tails in between their legs.

Goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry added insults to PSG's Champions League wounds, losing 3-0 across two legs, per France24.

The latest relapse for PSG underlines their inability to translate their domestic success into European glory, crashing out of the first round of the knockout phase in five out of the last seven seasons, BBC reports.

Their defeat has led to a series of inquests on PSG's habitual spectacular failure in Europe despite the massive cash injection in building up a formidable force.

Nonetheless, rival fans in France have taken delight in the woes of the Ligue 1 leaders with a string of trolls circulating on social media.

Rival fans mock PSG

Since bowing out of the Champions League, Christophe Galtier's charges have become the subject of trolls.

One such troll is a hilarious photo spotted in Marseille sarcastically thanking Bayern Munich for kicking PSG out of Europe.

Why was PSG mocked in France?

PSG have a sworn rivalry with Olympique Marseille, who deem themselves the biggest outfit in France.

PSG's European disaster-class

Paris Saint-Germain’s failure in the Champions League for an 11th consecutive time underlines a hidden shortcoming of the club since the Arab takeover more than a decade ago, Sports Brief previously reported.

The Parisians were once again haunted by familiar foes, Bayern Munich, who triumphed 3-0 on aggregate to dump Lionel Messi and company out in the first stage of the knockout competitions.

While it is easy to argue why PSG were knocked out based on what was taking place on the pitch, on paper, it is concerning for a squad with some of the most expensive players in the history of the game.
