Midfielder Angel Di Maria claims that there will be "big change" at Paris Saint-Germain after their last-16 exit from the Champions League.

Midfielder Angel Di Maria has predicted that Paris Saint-Germain will look to make major changes ahead of next season.

After signing the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the summer, PSG had expected to reach the latter stages of the Champions League, but the French giants went out to Real Madrid at the last-16 stage.

Unai Emery's future as manager is also in doubt, and Di Maria says that he would not be surprised to see the club's hierarchy take action in the summer.

The 30-year-old told Ole: "It was a tough blow. We spent €400m on players, the club had a different expectation with Neymar and it was normal that that expectation was very high. The club really felt it to be knocked out in the round of 16. There is going to be a big change for next year.

"It was obvious that, because of the arrival of important players, the fans were going to criticise and be disappointed. But you know you have to lose and lift your head when it happens."

PSG remain on course to win the league title, with a 17-point lead being established at the top of the standings.
