Enrique definitely has the ambition to recruit a replacement for Mbappe who moved to Madrid, and to be honest PSG really needs a quality striker to compete in the Champions League. Currently, PSG chances of winning the Champions League trophy are still considered very low, where there are a number of clubs that have more ideal squads, such as Madrid, City or Bayern. However, with their financial strength, PSG can maintain their hopes for the future if they continue to invest in potential young players. Enrique better start with a new way, who knows without a star player they will be lucky.

Meanwhile in Ligue 1, PSG opportunity to continue to dominate the competition is very large, where no other contestants have financial equivalents to them. The gap in strength is still very visible, no team has yet to seriously challenge PSG, Enrique's fleet is even believed to be able to win the trophy despite experiencing setbacks after Mbappe departure. We can only hope that there is a team that can suppress PSG in Ligue 1, so that it can make the competition for trophies more competitive. So far, Ligue 1 is like the Farmers League, its attraction lies only in PSG.

Talking about Mbappe's absence, it will only affect the team's performance in the Champions League not in League One.
PSG will remain the best team in League One because I don't think there is any other team in the tournament that comes close to them in terms of performance since they have been dominating the League One for a long even when Mbappe and other star players are injured.

Since the team has money, they should give Luis Enrique some money to shop for more players that can help the team achieve their main aim which winning the Champions League; if they don't add some quality players, they will do well in the League one, but can fail when it comes to Champions League.

I don’t particularly think that without Mbappe, PSG will face hardships. At least not in Ligue 1. Football is not played by 1vs11, rather it's a team game. Yes, it can be argued that Barca became arguably worse after Messi's departure but they weren't really that good when he left.

If you talk about PSG, they have good finances, a solid coach, and a decent amount of players in the club still. If they play their cards right, they can still dominate the Ligue 1.

About the UCL, Luis Enrique would need good reinforcements, as they couldn’t win it even with Mbappe. He needs to sign a proper striker and then need to balance out the whole squad, and if they do that, they might do well in the knockouts.

Enrique must be able to bring PSG even better next season even though they no longer have Mbappe in the squad,  Enrique is a very experienced coach and we can even see his achievements when he previously  him coached Spain and Barcelona, ​​but even so, Enrique must get full support from PSG is currently completely overhauling their squad in order to be able to compete in the Champions League next season, I think PSG main goal at the moment is only the Champions League and Enrique certainly has everything he needs to be able to give PSG that the trophy next season, I think PSG will continue to support Enrique with quite a large amount of funds in order to be able to bring in lots of good players, but if he only succeeds in winning the Ligue 1 trophy next season but fails to win the Champions League then it is certain that he will be fired.

Losing Mbappe shouldn't make PSG lose strength as a team, although perhaps Mbappe's departure will leave a little gap, but I don't think it's difficult for PSG to close that gap if they can bring in another striker next season, currently Enrique has entered his final year with PSG as coach, so he should be able to maximize the PSG squad next season to be able to win the Champions League trophy, so it is very likely that PSG will give him a new contract as their coach.

Yes, I really understand the pressure that Enrique is experiencing right now, it is not easy to go through, but I believe that he can become a coach that all PSG fans will be proud of because he is one of the coaches who has always dared to speculate about playing PSG without Mbappe before and in this way Enrique was able to measure how strong PSG's performance will be without Mbappe.
After everything was answered, Enrique knew several things he had to do to build a stronger club by bringing in more reliable midfielders.

By bringing in several new midfielders, this is one of Luis Enrique's strategies to help the attacking players be more aggressive because the PSG coach is aware that without Mbappe, the strongest club in League 1 must have the right alternative to be able to maintain performance even without star players.

In fact, when Ronaldo was at Real Madrid and Messi at Barcelona they were basically old, so the team could regenerate players. But regarding Mbappe this is different, because Mbappe is still young and PSG is also not regenerating players and thus, losing Mbappe will really have a big impact on PSG's performance. After all, when Ronaldo left Real Madrid, Real Madrid still had other great players, which made Benzema shine after Ronaldo left. However, regarding Messi at Barcelona, ​​as far as I remember, Barcelona did not regenerate players, so their performance continued to get worse, especially regarding their financial problems.

So yes, I think this case has differences and cannot be compared between them, because even though PSG lost Mbappe, but PSG is a team that has good finances. But despite this, it is still difficult for PSG to improve the quality of the team, especially to compete in the Champions League. But yes, because Mbappe has a big influence on the success of the PSG team, then with Mbappe departure will also make it seem like it will be difficult for PSG to dominate Ligue 1 like before.

Now if you want to see how Luis Enrique can handle this, for me it is everything this coach has always wanted, he already did it once with the Spanish national team, for me things have to be much more delicate because everything is in his hands how he wants to form his team, now the gap that Mbappé leaves is not just anything, the formation, strategy and everything of PSG changes, now he has to adapt to a style of football that is good, even becoming the best and quickly, so the truth is that Luis Enrique's challenge is not very easy, because the responsibility he Carries on his back is not just anything.

That's the difference between PSG and Real Madrid. For PSG he was a player that they built the whole team around and he was their superstar and they basically needed him for everything. Whereas, Real already won the league and the UCL without him just this season, adding him is a great thing but at the same time we are talking about Real not really "needing" him, sure it's great to have him, but if he is injured then they could still technically win it as well, so it is not a must thing for them.

PSG will become a better team after him, not because he wasn't good, he was their best player for many years, and won many things thanks to him, but now that they won't have a superstar, they will be forced to rely on each other instead of a single person.

We're trying to win the Champions League, the title the Qatari millionaires have yet to win, not just manage celebrities. Heavily controlled Ligue 1. Enrique has to win European gold as the other coaches failed. Even though losing Messi and Ramos is a setback, Enrique can start again with his new team

No need to replace those guys; create a fresh identity and a team that plays together. Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen might dominate Ligue 1. Yamal's youth and PSG's commitment are impressive. Another season is crucial for Enrique. His Champions League championship must be proven. It will be legendary if he does this

However, one thing that is certain is that PSG will still win Ligue One even without Mbappe. Apart from that, I think PSG will be able to mature more without relying on just one player and with this they can develop further as a strong group. I think it's only a matter of time before everything becomes a reality and Luis Enrique will definitely do everything to create an ideal squad without any star players.

In the end, I started to respect PSG's management because so far they have always recruited potential young players and not only pursued the pleasure of hunting for great players on the market. Because basically it won't be useful as long as they can't do anything in the Champions League and that's a curse that they haven't been able to extinguish until now.

And from here I asked the clubs in Logue 1 other than PSG who didn't seem to have much interest in attracting big players in order to become a new competitor for PSG or because of limited budgets. If the situation in Ligue 1 continues like this then there will be no changes in the future regarding the future and the status of Ligue 1 is increasingly declining. So it makes sense that when Mbappe left, Ligue 1 popularity declined in the eyes of football fans. In the past we could still see the existence of Nice, Marseille, Lyon and Monaco but now they have really lost their role.

We really don't know how a team like PSG will develop next season and in the seasons to come, but what you said is actually enough of an example that a team can still rise with new players recruited by its coach into the squad. And this could also happen to PSG in the coming seasons because the good players are not only Mbappe, but there are also many other seeds that the team can use for this. PSG fans can only hope for the best for PSG next season by no longer having to depend on just one player.

It's not really about the skill of Mbappe however he was a good player in PSG but it's about the time he spent there as a superstar player. Since he was playing there for years many strategies they used were based on this player and the team worked with this player for a long time but now since he left PSG, this can definitely damage the team and make PSG feel this gap in the players.
They will surely try hiring some other player to fill the place of Mbappe in PSG but I think there won't be any player for it and as Enrique said they should fill his place with teamwork.

But if you think about it now that the gap has narrowed and PSG are now looking more likely to be competitive it will make the French league 1 matches more interesting as teams can have much clearer expectations of their city teams, I think it's also pretty good for the health of the league that isn't just dominated by PSG the last few seasons.

Yes although I would also like PSG to do much better, and Luis Enrique to give PSG another trophy, but if they lose it's not bad for the league, but maybe LUis will risk his career if this season doesn't get a win in the domestic league, especially if they don't qualify for the champions league it will end badly, but that's unlikely, I think at least Enrique will compete very well despite not having star players in their squad anymore.

More important players than Mbappe? I mean there are of course really talented names in the squad but I don't think any of them are more important yet. Mbappe is one of the best players in today's football. He is on the way to be a very special player just as Messi and Ronaldo have become.

Maybe we would still watch the Ligue 1 often but it doesn't mean everyone will do the same. That was what I was trying to talk about. There are many people who have been following PSG to watch especially Mbappe. Star players have a big impact on many people about this topic. Lastly I don't think Mbappe is an ordinary player even though he had a terrible Euro 2024 run. 

So far Mbappe is a player who has had a big influence on the PSG squad so it is not surprising that there will be a big effect left after Mbappe's departure, but football is not about one player and when a team is left by a player, another player will definitely replace him regardless of status these players, what is happening to PSG now is no different from when Madrid lost Ronaldo and Barcelona lost Messi, but in fact they can slowly let go of their dependence on these two players after new players appeared which they could rely on, that's why Enrique should be able to look for other players  to can replace Mbappe next season, even though the player is not a star but he must still have a high scoring instinct and be able to work well in a teams.


The gap will still exist but it will not be as big as when Mbappe was still at PSG, so far we know how much ego and privileges Mbappe has at PSG and this indirectly disrupts the stability of the team, so when Mbappe leaves PSG now that should be the case will make Enrique job in forming a more collective team easier, currently Enrique only needs to look for some new players and also form a team framework so he can apply a collective playing system like when he coached Spain and Barcelona, ​​if only Enrique was able to implement the system games like when he coached Spain and Barcelona, ​​I am quite sure they will be able to win the Champions League in the future especially with strong financial support from PSG.

I don't agree with the idea that PSG no longer depends much on Kylian Mbappe. I need you to review the matches when PSG was without Kylian Mbappe. And the achievements he has achieved in the PSG shirt. I watched and reiterated that, when the French striker was forced to sit on the bench or be replaced early in 3 consecutive matches in Ligue 1, PSG drew all 3 matches. When he returned to the starting lineup, PSG won all 3 in all competitions. Mbappe is so good that this will give Luis Enrique a headache.
But anyway, I agree that Luis Enrique without Kylian Mbappé, would still be successful at PSG. To do this, of course, the PSG leadership will prepare to bring in a striker who will fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe. Luis Enrique has two issues that need to be resolved immediately: the issue of who is a suitable replacement for Mbappe and rebuilding PSG into a united team. Luis Enrique and his team face the big challenge of creating a powerful PSG in Europe. Ligue 1 is still under their domination, and the Champions League is always a nightmare for PSG. And without Kylian Mbappe, this award may still be far away from them.

Obviously the gap in PSG created by the exit of mbappe is something that PSG has to definitely get fixed because if they don't, it will be a huge problem to them and the season is about to start again so it's important they get such vital replacements before it turns out a serious problem on their side, but I believe that Enrique wouldn't allow his team turn out Messy due to the absence of a particular player evwnnif ehs been really vital to them while he did stayed in the team. Tho it may seem like it will be difficult but it's still very possible that they may get a new good replacement who may literally fit in so well but we may be thinking otherwise till the performance comes up and we get to see the results within and at the end of the Season.

For this season only Mbappe is leaving and although this could have a bigger impact, it could be a good thing for Enrique to manage PSG the way he wants to do.
Mbappe is indeed the backbone of PSG until this season ends but the level of ego and authority given to Mbappe from PSG makes him difficult to control which makes his treatment different from other players. So with him gone it is clear that now no one is differentiated in terms of position by the club and competition will become healthier.
Although it cannot be denied that the possibility of his performance will experience problems, especially when talking about the Champions League, this transition can be a positive thing in the end for PSG in the future.
 

Folks, losing Mbappé is important. Amazing talent, a star. You know, PSG might find advantage in this. Luis Enrique is a winner. He creates teams involving several people. He accomplished it in Barcelona and can in Paris. Enrique can start afresh when Mbappé is gone. He may call in driven, hungry immigrants. I know they are looking for a Euros star. That might fundamentally alter everything. We may now see group efforts rather than single acts. Championships are earned in such manner.

PSG is entering a new era then. Some ambiguity, but many of possibilities. Enrique has chance to flourish here. You are right. One can gamble on him. He has vision, guts, and knowledge to turn PSG into a formidable force. Just watch.
