French 1998 FIFA World Cup winner Christophe Dugarry has since come out with a surprising statement, claiming that the former Barcelona man's absence should be welcomed because PSG are a more balanced team without him, while he also lambasted Les Parisiens manager Christophe Galtier for not dropping Brazil's all-time top goalscorer sooner.
