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!

PSG just signed Mika Godts for a fee in the region of 50 million pounds, and to me, this is one of the best signings of the summer, because looking at what the player has done, you will see the reason a team like PSG went for him. He is one of those wingers that can do everything for you. He can score goals, give assist, dribble defenders and also has pace. He is a very direct player that lives going into the opposition box in search for goals, so with his numbers PSS had to go and sign him. I was hoping my club signs him because I've watched him on YouTube, and I saw his highlights there.
With the kind of attackers PSG have added to their squad, I think they are preparing again for next champions league because with the determination in those players, I feel they want to win the champions league back to back to back, three times in a row. And of course, the manager is a very good coach, being consistent for these number of years winning all the tittles in France. I doff my cap for him honestly.

Surely, PSG is indeed the better side...And I sincerely believe that the strength of PSG is that they don't just depend on one or two player to make things happen, they utilize their combined strength and effort in making a difference in the match, and this is what makes them seem more settled and even better as a team than others..Real Madrid, well they just haven't yet gotten that balance as a team..For sure they have good players to make a difference but with Madrid, it is very easy to mark down the danger men, and when this happens, Real Madrid becomes totally powerless..
Even with this new signings and change of management that Real Madrid has been doing, it may still very well take some time before everything finally clicks for them. So we can say that they have the right quality as a team, but they are still in the process of finally making some difference...But currently PSG have gotten everything figured out..

PSG is going be scary to play against next season, they have the best attack in the world currently, and adding Ferran Torres and Mike Godts will make the team better, when i heard that they are signing Ferran Torres and Mike Godts i knew PSG is signing those players to replace Dembele and some attackers in the front when the league start, PSG is a team that want to have a good squad that can compete for the league and Champions League.

The team aim is to win another Champions League and break the record that Real Madrid has set since 2018, but Real Madrid did not achieve three Champions League in a row the same way PSG is doing, Real Madrid always played every single match, Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale are always available for the team when playing the league and Champions League, but PSG rest their star players, postponed some league games, to have a good rest before champions league game.

PSG likes to sign players who play quickly and can score goals. This allows the team to play faster and get goal contributions from many players. They are already a strong team, and with the addition of these players, they have become even better. Opponents will find it difficult to exploit PSG's weaknesses.

PSG's greatest strength is their ability to score goals easily. They are building their squad accordingly, and their primary goal is to win the Champions League again. I think they will be comfortable in the league and will focus more on the Champions League. Their squad is quite sufficient to achieve this.
