Paris Saint-Germain's dressing room has 'fractured' into cliques following recent results, according to reports in France, as tensions and frustrations continue to rise within the first-team squad.
It has has been a tough few weeks for Mauricio Pochettino's side. Earlier this month, the Ligue 1 leaders were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, despite holding a 1-0 lead in the first leg.
And on Sunday night, the Parisiens suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of AS Monaco, as goals from Wissam Ben Yedder [2] and Kevin Volland added further headache to the European hangover.
For PSG's incredibly high standards, results on the pitch have gone downhill in recent weeks and now, rumours are emerging from France suggest things are far from perfect inside the club's dressing room.
RMC Sport report that last weekend's defeat to Monaco has raised tensions in the locker room. In fact, the team has split into two "clans" – one consisting of South American speakers and another including those who speak French.

In addition to those claims, it is suggested that after their recent 3-0 defeat at the Stade Louis-II, not one PSG player addressed the result – both in the dressing room and on their travels home.
RMC Sport's source said of the situation: "The lack of character in the club, and the fact that no one had the will or the opportunity to speak after such a match, is also indicative of what is happening in the group."
Some of PSG's fans are clearly frustrated with the club's failure in European competition. Last week, Paris Saint-Germain ultras angrily confronted Layvin Kurzawa and forced his door open as he left training.

The full-back was spotted leaving the club's Camp des Loges training complex when he was stopped at some traffic lights.
Here is footage of the incident.
