Latest on PSG

Congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain on winning the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa with a score of 2-1. Goal scorers are Doue and Kvaratskhelia for PSG and Madjo for Aston Villa.

Luis Enrique came out to say they have a challenge to match Real Madrid's 3-peat, with the intention to beat the record in the UCL. For a fact, I do not rate this PSG team, and I won't compare this team to the unstoppable Real Madrid.

Let's say that between saying and doing there is a difference.

Luis Enrique's intentions will certainly be to lead Paris Saint-Germain to victory in another Champions League, rewriting the history of the Parisian club again for the third time in a row.

But Real Madrid will certainly want to protect this sensational result and personal best. So it won't be easy at all for the Parisians.

Lol, are you talking about Real Madrid of today? Because comparing current Real Madrid form with the current PSG, I think you have to agree to the reality on the ground that PSG is better than Madrid of today, except we see changes as regards to their form in the upcoming season.

The game just went as expected, and kudos to PSG for starting this season with a Super Cup trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain for me to date is the team that has found its balance more than any other. Every player knows each other by heart, they make crazy plays, they have individuals who know how to beat the man without being selfish and know how to be selfish when it's necessary. They are a formidable team, while Real Madrid are in the process of rebuilding. i hope it can shine again as soon as possible, but for now the Parisians are a tad above.

Obviously, I am referring to the undefeated Madrid squad of the 2017-18 season under Zinedine Zidane. It's hard to forget this era.

With the combination of Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modrić, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, common man, you know them  .

The current Paris Saint-Germain cannot stand against this squad toe-to-toe. Let's call a spade a spade.

That Real Madrid was something incredible. Just think of the defense with Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and Carvajal, the midfield made up of Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos and an attack with Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale. There is no team that can be defined as stronger than the Galacticos of that year, who gave so many of those emotions even to those who are not Real Madrid fans.

I don't want to contradict Luis Enrique's statement at all. Every team will have the goal of achieving something big, especially when they have the ability to achieve it. Even if the reality is difficult, they will expect that.

It may not be easy for PSG to break Real Madrid's record, but it is not impossible either. Did anyone even expect PSG to win the Champions League in the 2024/25 season? Maybe not, very few people expected them to win the title next season. They won the title despite the low chances.

Now it seems that it will be very difficult for them to win the Champions League in the upcoming season, I think it is not impossible, they can surprise us in the upcoming season as well, like the last two seasons. You can still leave Real Madrid out of the list!
