PSG still look like the most dominant team in the Ligue 1 even without Mbappe. They will still win the league in my opinion and always qualify to play in the European competition like any other year. There is no club in the Ligue 1 that is so competitive and can stand PSG to win the league from them anytime now, maybe in the future one of them will follow the steps of Bayern Leverkusen and become the new champions of the Ligue 1.

PSG dominance in the champions league is now what I feel will be questionable to some uncertainty of them making it far in the league. The Ligue 1 is far different from the champions league and it require to put extra effort in order to win here and be promoted to the next round. Without a top striker, I also feel they won’t go far in the champions league, they should sign one soon since the season won’t only be for league matches but as well other competitions they’re playing in.

I think that is pretty much out of question that PSG will keep dominating Ligue 1, but I am sure it is still a different game without Mbappe. He was the guy that the whole game was designed for. Some guys in the forum here expressed smart opinions and said that we might be surprised because PSG is doing better without Mbappe and I agree. When player potentials are suppressed because one player is so overwhelmingly dominant, then is it always the best solution for the team as a whole? Probably not, but let's see how they will be doing in the Champions League next season.

Even when PSG had Mbappe in the squad, Enrique fleet was not favored, especially next season after they were left behind by the French star. Indeed, on the one hand, Mbappe departure will make other players shine more, because in the previous season they were under Mbappe shadow. Luckily PSG has a quality manager at the moment, where PSG management only needs to provide full support to Enrique to rebuild the depth of the squad.

Therefore, PSG will still be able to dominate Ligue 1 without any worries after Mbappe departure, even for the next few seasons, I don't think PSG will experience significant pressure from other contestants. Meanwhile in the Champions League, PSG has many choices to maintain its ambitions, choosing the instant method with recruiting star players is one of them. But I think PSG would be better off doing it differently this time, they would be better off building a strong foundation with the players available, especially giving more opportunities to their young players.

Enrique was never the right choice in the first place if you ask me, but he made the right decision as PSG is a club that is paying loads and loads of money to everyone without actually correctly calculating what they can expect in return.
