This week they will face Brest, although Brest cannot be underestimated because last season they managed to enter the UCL league zone, but I am pessimistic if they can maintain that position until the end of the season because usually teams like Brest are only good seasonally. Even so, I think PSG will pursue victory in this match. Because in my opinion PSG's mission this season is not to focus on league 1, but they will try their best to be consistent in order to get lots of points so that they are further away from other teams, they can focus on the UCL league because it must be admitted that PSG's current focus is the UCL league trophy.
PSG's move to focus more on the Champions League is very appropriate because in Ligue 1 no team has been able to surpass PSG until this season and Brest itself will also be quite overwhelmed when having to face a team like PSG who in general have been much more consistent in playing in Ligue 1 this season. In addition, the next match for PSG is to be the home team with Brest as their guest and that certainly will not make PSG afraid because PSG is always better when playing at home with any opponent in Ligue 1.
The current team of PSG is not possible to do very well in the Champions League with this team. With this team, they might win their local league tournament title but they won't progress very far in the Champions League. Expected PSG to make multiple signings this season after Mbappe left but they didn't. The most important player in their team is gone but they start the new season with the players that were there. The person who is currently in charge of their club is not lacking in skills, so if there are no specific players in a specific position, his skills will not be of much use. PSG's achievement last season was reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, rest assured this season nothing like that is happening.
I think it's high time we try to understand that football is not based on the name of the players in the team rather the performance of the team will create a very positive change in the team which I think is what is happening in the PSG team right now. Mbappe left the team everyone was expecting them to break the bank to sign big names which may never help them to win the league since they once had Mbappe, Messi to mention but few yet they ended up winning just the domestic league don't you think the team made a good decision to start working with players without high profile?
The PSG team has already started playing well and after watching them perform well with so much zeal I think they may end up doing better by winning the domestic league and going very far in the champions league competition because they have got what it takes to do that, the team may even win the Champions League competition this season if they perform well who knows what is going to happen in the champions league competition this season.
I have already made it clear that PSG will have no problem winning the local league title but with the squad they currently have, it will be difficult for them to do well in the Champions League. If you look at the teams that have qualified for the Champions League, if you consider the strength of the teams and the strength of PSG, PSG will be far behind all the other teams in every aspect. I agree with what you said that big name alone is not enough to perform well, consistency is very important along with big name. But you know very well and I know that if the team does not have good defenders, experienced midfielders as well as the best strikers then the performance of the team will not be good.
If PSG are only satisfied with France league then they don't need to buy players in their squad but if they really plan well for Champions League then I would say they definitely need quality players.
