PSG reached Champions League final after players pledged unity over lunch at Verratti's restaurant

Perhaps this can all be traced back to Le Giuse? The Italian restaurant owned by Marco Verratti, located on the famous Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore near the Champs-Elysees, is where Paris Saint-Germain's season changed for the better.

On Feb. 25, when the Italy international invited all of his teammates to his venue for lunch, things were not good. PSG had lost their Champions League round-of-16 first leg 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund, where coach Thomas Tuchel's tactics and his players' attitudes were all wrong. Two days later, Edinson Cavani, Angel Di Maria and Mauro Icardi organised a joint birthday party and some of the footage posted on social media -- including some of the players dancing bare-chested -- upset a lot of fans and people at the club.
