Psg is still very strong in Ligue 1 because in their first match of the season they visited the Oceane stadium but they still managed to get 3 points where the match ended with a score of 1-4. With the depth of the squad filled with quality players, of course we can judge that Luis Enrique's squad will again succeed in achieving maximum results in every match because their game is still quite impressive even though they no longer have Mbappe in their team.
The Ligue1 competition will still be dominated by PSG even without players like Mbappe because in Ligue1 there is no heavier pressure from rival teams so that PSG is still the leading team this season. And from one example of a match that has been played by PSG, it is also clear that PSG still has more strength in Ligue1, but I don't know how strong PSG is when playing in the UCL this season because the competition really relies on player cooperation besides having to be filled with quality players in a team.
The gap in team strength is still very visible in Ligue 1, with PSG still the favorite team to win even without Mbappe. There is no excessive worry, nor is there any significant pressure, the depth of the squad owned by Luis Enrique is more than enough to continue to dominate Ligue 1. Meanwhile, PSG journey in the Champions League this season is still a big question mark, because with Mbappe alone they are quite difficult, especially after the mega star left. Many assume that PSG will experience a decline in the Champions League, while at the domestic level they will still be fine.
In the opening match, PSG reaffirmed their identity as the rulers at the domestic level, they easily slaughtered Le Havre with a score of 4-1, amazingly the 4 goals were scored by 4 different players. Departing from this fact, it seems that Luis Enrique has changed his strategy, which encourages each of his players to score goals. This means that PSG wants to prove that their goal productivity does not depend on just one player, anyone can score goals, that's what I think is good. If this performance can be maintained, there is a possibility that PSG will be able to overcome the tight competition in the Champions League, at least they can reach the semifinals like last season.
The gap between PSG and other teams in the French League was not because of Mbappe in this team but it was because of the more money they have in this team other than having or not having Mbappe. I think Mbappe was a good player for PSG but they will have enough money to hire more players and be the winner of the next French League regardless of having Mbappe in this team or not.
Also other than the huge money they have in PSG, they have got a coach like Enrque who improved the team a lot and made PSG to have much better teamwork.
