I don't think it would be so good to blame just one person for this thing that continues to happen to PSG every season. Because PSG, which used to have more stars in their squad, was also unable to win the UCL title, so this is certainly not just one person's fault. But it is more about the pressure of the game which is always easier in its own league, which makes it difficult for PSG to develop when facing elite teams entering the UCL competition. And PSG must be able to fix this as soon as possible before next season starts again.
If that's the problem, why did they have difficulty bringing the Champions League trophy to PSG when there were three star players at PSG in the previous season? Football does not rely on one person, but teamwork is much more needed and the performance of the coach is one of the important factors for success in any competition. So I agree with you that blaming one player is not enough of a reason for PSG to fail in the Champions League because there are indeed many other things that are quite crucial.

I hope Luis Enrique is given the ease of recruiting players as he wants so that he can work well together in integrating the team's strengths. If you look at his abilities, maybe Luis Enrique is the right coach for PSG, it just takes time for him to bring success in the Champions League.
They don't have to blame each other, what they have to do is introspect themselves on why it is so difficult for them to achieve a very prestigious title that they don't currently have. So I also really agree that there is no one to blame, it just seems like scapegoating just one person for their failures so far. Even with the 3 stars they once had, they can't do much, right?
It is their collective duty to find solutions to what they are facing. Because they are a very good team financially, they can have star players. But as you said, football is a team game, so they can't just rely on one person. Maybe the above average abilities possessed by some of these players are a good value for them, but they still need to be better at playing as a team. We can see that a team that is said to not have star players can play very well, yes they can do that because their team play and chemistry are very good too.

Can we say that PSG was unlucky in the match with Dortmund? I think so, they hit the crossbar so many times, although they were definitely stronger than Dortmund. So the result comes when there is a certain chemistry in the team, when everything works out in the best way and even luck is on your side.

They were unlucky in both legs indeed. But of course they can't still use this as an excuse for not being able to win a single Champions League title still.  Sad  They have been trying for years. They have had great players joining and leaving the team. We have seen really great managers such as Ancelotti also managing this team. But still no achievement there.

I'm really curious about whether one day we will see PSG also as the Champions League winner. They have all the money power but can't use it to win titles yet. Maybe there is a need of some important changes in the vision of the team to achieve greater success...

Correct, Enrique. PSG cannot keep depending just on Mbappe. They've shown they can win even without Messi or Neymar. Its a major league issue to replace a player like Mbappe, though. This Vinicius to PSG discussion? All guesswork. False articles Even for a boatload of Qatari riyals, Real Madrid is not letting their golden kid go for peanuts.

The PSG has always been resilient. Losing a star, finding another. Mbappe, though, is more than simply another star. He's their top scorer. They have to locate a goal scorer who can lead the side through the Champions League.
PSG have signed great player but have failed to win the UEFA Champions League because they're not just good enough and playing elite teams seems to be one of the tough challenges they're experiencing every season in UCL.

PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi caused all of this. He would have sold out Kylian Mbappe longtime ago but he failed to take such decisions and have a big problem to deal with currently. He's yet make good signings of the replacement of Kylian Mbappe,


Al-Khelaifi did some head-scratching, no question about it. Holding onto Mbappe? Man, even my dog knew he wanted to leave. But to hold him responsible for every Champions League failure PSG has had? It's not fair. Remember their crazy front line? Messi, Mbappé, Neymar? It like a fantasy football squad come true. But they still couldn't crack the Champions League code. Ligue 1 is a piece of cake; PSG simply hasn't found out how to switch it on when it counts

It's about their teamwork, their strategy, and their mental toughness as much as their star power. They must do more than just invest in new players to compete with the big dogs. It has to do with identifying the ideal system, chemistry, and mindset. They'll keep failing until they realise that

But the problem is also about Mbappe departure on a free transfer, and that was the wrong step taken by Nasser Al-Khelaifi because he only gave Mbappe one season of contract extension. Therefore, Mbappe left on a free transfer and as a talented young player, of course PSG really suffered a huge loss from Mbappe departure. Therefore, I think it is very natural that Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also very emotional about cases like this, how could it not be, because Mbappe was always given special privileges at PSG but in the end, Mbappe really left on a free transfer. But indeed, because PSG still has a lot of money then of course, PSG should remain in the best situation next season to prove that PSG can still achieve great achievements even without Mbappe.

In addition to the players and the coach, even the factor of luck plays a role, why City could not defend their Champions League title, because post-match penalties are more of a lottery where luck plays a big role. Can we say that PSG was unlucky in the match with Dortmund? I think so, they hit the crossbar so many times, although they were definitely stronger than Dortmund.

Losing a player like Kylian Mbappe who's not just been the top performer of Paris Saint Germaine in the last six years but have also been top scorer in each of the past six seasons in the French league will definitely be a big blow to the club. Since it was confirmed that Kylian Mbappe was gonna leave the club, a lot of speculations have been going on who would be his possible replacement at the club. Finding a player that'll do exactly what Kylian Mbappe have been doing at ge club will be extremely difficult of you ask me.
Actually, we are just too worried about the departure of Kylian Mbappe, while we forget that PSG without Mbappe, is still a big club that dominates League 1 without being beaten by other clubs and we also forget something that we ignore if PSG is the richest club in League 1 and can bring in star players whenever they have the opportunity.
The problem is not only about the top scorer but the problem is that without Mbappe or without a very reliable striker player, PSG will have difficulty competing in the champions league because they don't have reliable players even though there are still Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos but they can't guarantee anything.

Finding new players who are equal to Mbappe's skills is indeed difficult, but in my opinion, in the coming season, PSG will definitely succeed in bringing in players who are equal to Mbappe, but wait at least 2 more seasons.

Having many star players in their squad so far should be able to make PSG a strong and easy team to win trophies not just domestic trophies, but in fact we often see unharmonious relationships between these players so that in the end the stability of the club is disturbed, just like when PSG had the MNM trio in the past, where many of us believe that the PSG squad will be able to create many records and also get trophies Champions League at that time, but it actually caused gaps and conflicts between players like what happened with Neymar and Mbappe.

The ego possessed by the star players certainly makes the team atmosphere uncomfortable, so indeed the club needs an experienced manager to ensure that all players work together for the same goal, currently PSG has lost all its star players and only Dembele is left in the front line so indeed Luis Enrique may be able to manage the team better in facing the competition next season,  because indeed team dynamics, coach strategies, and also player adaptation will be important factors in addition to mainstay players, in my opinion the disruption of team harmony started from the PSG management who were indeed too privileged Mbappe at that time so that without them realizing it would only make their team weak without equality in the team, But for now, only time will determine whether PSG will be more successful or not without Mbappe.
Well they had a period where Neymar-Messi-Mbappe played together, and they did worse with two of them, then they did this year where it was only Mbappe. Maybe the point is to have no stars but bunch of great players?

If you have a star then the play is just focused on the star and that causes trouble, but if you have no star, like no player that is obviously better than everyone else, then the ball is shared better and the results would be better? Even a team like Manchester City, who has Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland level of stars, do not play on them all the time, watch any of their games and you will see that they share the ball and pass a lot, which means that everyone gets to touch the ball before they score a goal.

PSG had three superstar players on the team and they tried their best to have a better performance in the Champions League but still, they couldn't do that and even the players they had like Messi left the team. I think now after Mbappe leaves, they will have bigger problems but as Enrique said, they will try to fill the place of Mbappe in the team by using all the players they have by having better teamwork.
 


Enrique's doing the right thing by building team chemistry and moving on from Mbappe. Not sugarcoating it, losing a player like that is a complete catastrophe. Though PSG has already proven they can recover, can they replace Mbappe? That is a really high order. Im not sure these young men they have can perform at his calibre.

Quite surprising news came from Marseille where they will reach an agreement with former Brighton coach De Zerbi. Actually, I'm not quite sure about this, but seeing that Marseille this season is far from expectations and not like last season, it is very feasible for them to think about looking for a new coach to replace Jean-Louis Gasset.

In recent months, De Zerbi has been rumored to be close to several clubs, but that has not happened and now it is Marseille who have come to recruit him. Maybe he could be the right solution for Marseille next season and Marseille's consistency could be repeated. This season Marseille only managed to finish in 8th position and I don't think that's a good result for them. Therefore, significant changes are needed and I think management is taking the right steps.

Vinicius Junior to PSG? I give such transfer zero probability.  Smiley  Why would he want to leave Real Madrid in the first place? Just because Mbappe is joining them it doesn't mean Vinicius Junior will lose importance. He is still going to be one of the most crucial players of the team for Ancelotti. I have zero doubt about his playing regularly as well.

Mbappe would play in the centre-forward position there too. Vinicius Junior was preferred in the same position by Ancelotti this season. However his main position is left wing already. Therefore he would go back there after this.

It seems they made a decision about the alternative player for Mbappe in PSG.
Mbappe was an important player of this team and maybe they can never find a player again at this level. That's why Enrique said they will try to fill the place of Mbappe in the team by using all the players they have which means they will use teamwork to fill his place.
But Enrique is also interested in hiring another player since they lost Mbappe and it seems they tagged Luis Díaz the player of Liverpool, but he is still under contract until 2027 with Liverpool. PSG is ready to pay 75 million euros for this player.

they have to get rid of all those habits, because if they get a new star player if they still have those habits, then they will be addicted to the same as before, and that is something that is not good for them. Luis Enrique must bring a new habit, namely not being dependent on just one player, indeed in a club there are definitely players who stand out, but he must prioritize team play over individual play.

Regarding the news about Viniciuz going to Paris Saint Germain, I'm not sure about that. The reason is that Real Madrid itself is building a better team now and Viniciuz is one of their future assets. He is only 23 years old and is already a mainstay in the Real Madrid squad, so I don't think that they will let Viniciuz leave them so quickly, especially as he is a player who is predicted to be one of the new trio of players on Real Madrid's front line.
PSG really should change many things, especially regarding their transfer policy which likes to recruit star players at high prices. The journey to achieve success sometimes requires a long process and time, PSG should be patient and start a new era after Mbappe departure. Of course, they also had to change their strategy to play more collectively, which for Enrique was quite easy to do. If they are able to do that, then I think PSG will appear stronger, not only in Ligue 1 but in the Champions League too.

Regarding the Vinicius rumors, personally I'm not so sure, it could be true and it could be not. In essence, PSG has never been happy with Madrid as a result of Mbappe departure, it could be that rumors of PSG interest are a way to take revenge. We know Vinicius is Madrid long term asset, and Perzez will certainly protect him with all his efforts, but PSG interest could still disrupt the focus of Ancelotti squad. On the other hand, it is reported that PSG is currently targeting Kvaratskhelia and Guimaraes, with Matvei Safonov will being their first signing.

PSG has had a fantastic season with Mbappe and their previous star players, so next season will certainly be a new challenge for Enrique to be able to maximize their squad without Mbappe who has been their mainstay so far, for now of course PSG must let go of their dependence on Mbappe and can be a team that does play collectively next season and of course they must be able to do it next season for the sake of can compete for the championship trophy, especially the Champions League.

The financial strength possessed by PSG allows them to look for other star players, but at least they must learn from their experience so far so that they do not depend on one individual to play, so that PSG will have a solid squad to be able to compete in the domestic league or the Champions League, about the news of Vinicius Jr, it seems that it is indeed just fake news and does not have a strong reason for us to believe it, Because so far he has a commitment to stay in Madrid, especially since Ancelotti has promised that Mbappe arrival to Madrid will not affect his position in the main place next season.

Mbappe is not only a star player and has lots of goals for PSG, but Mbappe is a player who has made a big contribution to making PSG always succeed in winning the Ligue 1 trophy. Therefore, of course it will be difficult for PSG to be able to move on, because PSG has high dependency on Mbappe. Indeed, Enrique also did not play Mbappe several times but still, the result was that he often got less than optimal results. Moreover, regarding the issue about Vinicius, I am sure that PSG will not be able to succeed in recruiting Vinicius. Because after all, Real Madrid is greedy for having lots of young star players in their squad and because of that, of course Real Madrid will retain the young players they have in their squad, including Vinicius, of course.

Because these clubs are the richest clubs in the Premier League so their competition is quite fierce in recruiting players with good potential because they have stable finances and it is easy to recruit players at high prices. Even though the most important thing is for them to be able to make their club successful somehow in order to continue to compete fiercely in the Premier League, Chelsea is interested in Manchester City's mainstay player Julian Alvarez but unfortunately Manchester City is not interested in releasing this player to Chelsea no matter what offer Chelsea gives. In my opinion Pep Guardiola will still use the services of this player even though he doesn't always play full time but Pep always uses it even if only for a short time on the field.

He is an important player and he is a replacement for Erling Haaland if Erling Haaland is rested or injured so if this player is sold who will replace Erling Haaland's role on the front line Pep Guardiola has to look for other options or implement a new strategy even though the composition of the existing players At the moment it's good enough, Pep just need to improve the performance of each player so they can appear impressive next season and provide fierce competition every season.
Haalland was not at City before, they bought him from Dortmund, just as in a year another talent may appear that Guardiola will be interested in. And he also doesn’t want to give up Alvarez, because as you noticed, situations in football can be different, and you always need to have another good player on the bench for backup. But Alvarez wants to get more playing time, which is understandable, hence a situation arises that Guardeola will have to deal with, or Alvarez will leave the team.

I agree with you. Haaland's fitness is very good. However, if Haaland suffers an injury, Guardiola has Alvarez as a suitable replacement for Haaland. Alvarez is a talented player. And Alvarez has already proven his worth. Despite not getting a place in the starting XI, he managed to score a lot of goals. And the important thing is that Alvarez's goals have won Manchester City in several important matches. Manchester City will definitely not want to lose such a talented player. But personally I think Alvarez should leave Manchester City. Because he will not get a place in the starting XI if he stays with this squad.
What Pep is doing is not bad at all. He wants both his first eleven and his bench to be string so that if one is not fit or not performing well on the pitch, the replacement will not be a problem. This is what Real Madrid did and that is why you see that whoever goes out from the match will not affect the team's performance, rather the substitute will come in and turn the game around in favor of Real Madrid. If Alvarez wants to be among the first eleven which is impossible, he should go to somewhere else that will make that happen. He should not also forget that he is in a strong club.

Slowly but surely PSG succeeded in answering the doubts that existed when their star players left one by one but they still remained strong and could still produce the best results. Moreover, under the guidance of an experienced coach like Luis Enrique, this is very possible and we can see it this season.

I'm sure next season will still be the same and if it's just for all competitions in France they will still be the favorites as winners, but for the Champions League it's still quite far away. Regarding Vinicius going to PSG, I don't think it will be possible even though PSG can afford to buy him at such a large cost, but Real Madrid will still keep the player, especially since he is already a star at Real Madrid and of course working with his colleagues to win other titles.
Paris Saint Germain is the best team in Ligue 1, so it is very natural that many people predict that they will still be the same even though they will appear without their star players because one by one they left the biggest team in Ligue 1. However, I also have the same belief that they can only dominate or perform well in the domestic league, but when they are in the Champions League, they are a very difficult team to compete with other big teams.

They really want the Champions League title, in fact every season they always have the same target, namely to become champions there. but no matter how much they try, they always fail and even when they have many star players, they always experience failure.

In my opinion, they must first improve the foundation of their team, before they aim for something very high, namely becoming champions in the Champions League. When they can create a solid foundation, they will be able to achieve this achievement, we can see from Manchester City's journey until they succeeded in becoming champions in the Champions League.
