In this deep dive, I break down why PSG's exit ranks as the most shocking moment in European football since the 1990s.

As a Chicago-based NBA analyst with a deep love for football, I’ve watched 20 years of global soccer—and this Paris Saint-Germain collapse isn’t just a surprise. It’s historic.

Yet here we are, watching them crumble against an unproven side. In this breakdown, I use data-driven insights and street-level intuition to explain why this match ranks as one of the greatest upsets in football history—and what it says about modern club power structures.
