Personally, I think PSG's owners should learn from Manchester City's example.
Both clubs have very rich owners, but Manchester City is still a more successful club than PSG. Why is that so?
Why did Manchester City finally manage to win the Champions League and PSG not even though they have three of the best footballers in the world, Mbappe, Neymar and Messi?
It is not enough to just bring the best players, you also need to have a top coach who will know how to create a strong team, as Pep for example.
Also, long-term systematic work and vision are needed, and PSG does not have that. How many coaches have they changed in recent years?
What about Manchester City?  Grin

I have discussed this in various posts, in fact I often compare these two clubs which have very healthy finances. the difference is, City is handled by professional management. as for PSG, it looks like Nasser Al Khelaifi is more in control as he wants. for example, at PSG Mbappe has privileges. at City, players who don't follow the coach's instructions or show their ego. then he will be on the bench, yes like Joao Cancelo. City, giving the coach the right to be involved in bringing in the players he wants. at PSG, it all depends on the club management. City, has an almost even depth of players and has a very solid starting eleven. at PSG, there is a gap between the front line players and the other players. I mean, PSG are sharp up front but lame in midfield and defence. plus, the two trainers have different ways and characteristics.

PSG should be able to emulate the steps taken by City. now, PSG is under the tutelage of Luis Enrique. at least, Enrique meets the criteria as a coach who has a proven track record.  it's just that, we don't know the depth of PSG in next season. at least, let's see what they do in the transfer window this summer.
IMO, I'm not sure PSG will be much stronger than last season in this competition. however, let's see and wait how Enrique will bring PSG more competitive.
