Feels like having great players doesn't guarantee you any success, also not everyone season is like the next. Real Madrid knows how to play in this tournament, even in the years they are not amazing, they still managed win and they will keep being that good because they bring in the younger players at the bench to grow up with older ones getting the title, so they put that UCL title winner mindset into the younger generation, and when older generation retires, the younger ones already have a few cups with them.
So all in all, I think we should consider that PSG İs missing that winning culture, the stress they have when they are at knockout stages of UCL is showing and they always miss shots that they would normally score.
What what can actually be said to be team with winning mentality and also very stable playing performance even though in certain conditions which have clearly given the team downturn, they can all be relied on and can always perform optimally without the figure of legendary player.
In contrast to several other team in other league competitions which always have core players with better advantages than other players, he will be the main driver for success in the team and without him it will not be able to provide good game.
PSG for example, they always dominate Ligue 1 but it cannot be denied that previously they always relied on just one or two players to achieve this success, things like this are what made PSG team that failed to develop well in European competitions.
Last time they were in the UCL final was in the 2019/20 season and at that time PSG faced Bayern Munich, the match was very fierce but Bayern Munich had 1 goal advantage when entering the second half.
This advantage made Bayern Munich the 2019/20 UCL champions and made PSG come out as runners-up even though they were also able to show pretty good game, I think in the future it will be difficult for us to see PSG again in the UCL final.
