I think everyone has similar thoughts about PSG. What I will point out will be more interesting. So, if PSG surprises this year and reaches the semi-finals or finals, will this success be Enrique's success? Maybe if such a thing happens, Mbappe will stay in the team and with a few great transfers, PSG will be one of the favorites next year. This probability is very low, but what if it happens? That's when PSG can catch fire again.
It is very easy for PSG to dominate Ligue 1 and dominate other domestic competencies with the top players they buy every time the transfer window opens, but winning the Champions League is not as easy as buying players. In fact, PSG was only able to advance to the last 16 in the last seven seasons, they reached the final in the 2019/2020 season, then in the following season their progress stopped in the semifinals.
This season the PSG squad is under the guidance of Luis Enrique who has experience in the UCL, but their inconsistent performance makes their journey very difficult when facing big teams. I don't think PSG can surprise this season, they qualified for the round of 16 due to luck after fighting hard in the group stage.
This season's UCL trophy is not for PSG, there are still other strong teams who always perform consistently who are better prepared to fight for the trophy. Luis Enrique must develop a strategy with a more solid team strength if he wants to bring PSG to the UCL trophy.
PSG are not yet ready to win the champoins league. The French league is not that competitive and the strongest team PSG struggled with Newcastle and other teams in their group. If they make it pass the round of 16 this season I think they are lucky. It will take PSG many years of consistency to win the Champions league, they should forget about it this season.
