Dembele has the sacred number ten, which we hope will suit his PSG career very well. With Dembele present, the PSG squad really looks amazing the depth of their squad looks strong. But what makes PSG strong is still Mbappe, reportedly he is back playing for PSG. Under Enrique leadership it seems that Mbappe will be more confident about being able to get the UCL Trophy, if this season PSG gets a Trophy then I'm sure Mbappe will extend his contract with PSG.

How is it related? Do you think that Mbappe only wants to leave because it is difficult to win the Champions League with PSG? It seems to me not at all because of this, but because Ligue 1 is not the top League and achievements in it are worthless if we are talking about the best of the best (of course, Mbappe wants to be in this category).
And by the way, if PSG win the Champions League, then for Mbappe it will be more of an additional reason to leave - does it make sense to continue if he won everything with this club?

This is well said. Really to be honest, PSG did have a little chance to win the Champions League a few times when their elimination was unlucky or when they missed the chance against a superior Bayern Munich to have some luck and win it, but all in all PSG is not the type of team that is destined to win the Champions League. They can't be because they are a Ligue 1 club. When you have a team like Real Madrid that was in a constant battle with Barcelona or Atletico Madrid for a while, or Manchester City who have been pressured by an army of teams that are among the best in the world, they are destined to win the Champions League. PSG often had a difficult time to switch from Ligue 1 mode into Champions League mode and that I think is indeed not easy. Playing these mediocre teams all year long and out of a sudden there is Bayern Munich. Bayern also is only playing Bundesliga, but they still seem to be more determined and professional than PSG ever has since they were bought by Khelaifi.
