We have often discussed money and star players who are always attached to PSG's image and as we know they have started to improve little by little since last season. Now there is only the name Kylian Mbappe who is the star player at PSG and the rest are only filled with players with the same quality. Their chances of winning against Real Sociedad are still high and I cannot avoid the fact that PSG will still be able to win as long as Kylian Mbappe is not injured.
We know that Kylian Mbappe's role in the squad is very important and if he is absent, PSG will definitely be at a huge disadvantage and may have difficulty winning. Even though there are several names that can lift the team's confidence, they will not be as good as Kylian Mbappe who can give PSG a definite victory. Real Sociedad must be wary of Kylian Mbappe's movements, which are very difficult for any defender to stop.
This season PSG wants to change their image where previously they were always eager to create new Galacticos in Ligue 1 with star players who already had extraordinary achievements despite their age but they were always eager to do that in the last few seasons but now it seems that slowly it wants to be changed by looking for new potential with several young players especially this season when they released several players such as Sergio, Neymar and Messi they replaced with several young players such as Thuram, Asensio, Dembele and also Goncalo Ramos.
It was a bold move but it had to be done because they were expecting a new Galacticos strategy but with older players it wouldn't have a big impact. Although at the moment their changes are also still not too noticeable but if in the end they try to implement the strategy of young players combined with good coaching chemistry I think this could be good for them even though we don't expect too much for the Champions League.
For Asensio, he is actually one of the great players because with Real Madrid he has won the Champions League title 3 times, so for now he cannot be compared to the players you have mentioned. Maybe at Real Madrid it was its prime and at PSG only the ruins of its glory remained. It also appears that he is not the starting choice for Luis Enrique and is only a cover for players like Dembele.
Indeed, it is time for PSG to change their environment, not be surrounded by diamonds and they have to create their own diamonds so that they can be more organized in bigger competitions without having to rely on star players for roles. Everything requires a process for PSG and it is not easy for a team that was successful from the start because it had a rich owner and not because a team learns to build strength from history.
