because football is not an individual but a team, consisting of 11 people. So it is impossible to only rely on 1 super star player. Meanwhile, if the middle and back line that supports the star player is not that good, then it will definitely not be able to compete with other clubs which in fact are better prepared and stronger in all areas. Because of course the opponent team will be able to easily guard its opponent's main players, while the other players won't be able to do it very well. It wouldn't be fair to just blame the super star.

What is clear now is that PSG no longer has a football super star like before. So we can see how their performance will be. Will it be much different or not? However, I am sure that they will definitely become winners of the French League title for a long time if they look at the strength of the opposing clubs in the French League.

yep, because it will only be a waste even if you have very reliable star players in the attack line but if the defense line is very weak, a team will definitely not be able to compete in higher competitions like for example when PSG had a lot of very reliable attacking players before but the results are still very bad because the team cooperation is not balanced between the attack line and the defense line and I admit that PSG before losing Mbappe was very strong in the attack line but to be honest, the defense line was a little weak and that was proven when PSG appeared in the UCL last season.
I'm not saying that PSG has a bad defense, but it's just that PSG is always busy looking for reliable players for the attack line, but they don't see that the defense line also needs reliable players to provide better strength and be on par with the attack line and create solid strength.

regarding how PSG will be after losing Mbappe, for me it won't have any problems in League 1 and will remain the strongest team dominating the League 1 title, but to compete in other competitions like UCL, I doubt it.
It's quite easy to explain why most people will have doubts about their achievements in the next season in the UCL because PSG has always been used to a strong attack line and that was obtained from Mbappe contribution and now PSG doesn't have many choices.

I would say while you are right that their attack looked great, they also had some issues with scoring on games they needed to, like look at Dortmund game, Dortmund knew that only thing they had to do was defend, and PSG failed to score, for maybe like 20-25 minutes, only thing that Dortmund did was defend their goal and did not even attacked, and for that many minutes PSG purely attacked, many shots, some even hit the woodwork, and they still failed to score.

This means that their defense wasn't the problem in that situation, their attack needed to score and failed. Mabppe is great and all, but you can't just expect one player to do it all, so they need to figure out a way to for that team to score when they need to against teams who park the bus.
