I understand PSG's mentality. The aim is big names, huge wins. However, relying on a few superstars is risky. Huge risk. Spends a fortune, and no trophies? Disaster. Absolute disaster. Mbappe, a terrific player, shows that Champions League pressure can break anyone.

Believe me, this play is smarter: Create your own talent. Slow, but builds a stronger foundation. You avoid outrageous transfer fees and inflated salaries and get players who compete for the shirt, not just the salary. Mixing one or two major stars with local talent? The mixture is potent. PSG needs competitiveness and sustainability to win. Much smarter than their current plan.

That should be the case and they should be able to learn from Manchester City to build a team not in an instant way by recruiting lots of star players, PSG failed last season when they implemented this.

And I also see that they have not developed or have not been able to achieve achievements on the European stage because PSG does not have fierce domestic competition so this team cannot compare in strength to be able to rise even better.
As we have seen in the last few seasons in League 1, no competitor has put pressure on PSG in the title race.
To manage a team well, the first thing you need is a good manager. PSG managed to hire a good manager last season. A number of players have been sold from PSG after a skilled manager took charge of PSG. Basically the club sold all the players who had problems and were unhappy with their performance. With Neymar sold and Lionel Messi gone, we wondered how a team that didn't do well despite having such a big star would do well with only Mbappe. But at this point we understand that the manager was right in his decision. In addition to dominating Ligue 1, PSG qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League where they exited the Super Sixteen last season with the world's best stars. I expect PSG to do well in the quarter finals but kudos to PSG for the progress they have made with this team.

If you want to do well in a competitive league like the Champions League, you definitely need an experienced coach. I would say that if the coach is not experienced, even if they brings all the star players of the world in the same squad, they will not get the expected good performance.

If Luis Enrique had coached PSG 2 more seasons ago, I think he would have led PSG to the Champions League title. He had talented and experienced players like Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in the squad. PSG's squad this season is not strong enough. Even so, PSG's performance on the Champions League platform is quite good. It is expected that the PSG team can also qualify for the semi-finals. Because Barcelona's performance is somewhat erratic now.
It is very important for any club to hire a quality manager before recruiting quality players. If a club fails to hire a good quality manager, they will fail to properly implement the player as well as buy the player. Luis Enrique has left Barcelona for a long time. If PSG had signed Luis Enrique at that time, PSG could have reached the Champions League final for another season, but they didn't. When all the players left PSG, PSG handed over the manager's job to Luis Enrique. Despite the current situation of PSG, this successful manager is able to bring good results with this team. Luis Enrique did not have much time to organize the team after taking charge of PSG, we can expect Luis Enrique to organize his team nicely next season.
