What do you mean by PSG not having good quality players this season? Are you saying that Kylan Mbappe was the only quality player PSG had? Most of the key players of PSG like Dembele, Marco Asensio and Lucas Hernandez.
With the current system to qualify directly without a Play-Off it seems difficult for PSG. Currently they are at number 19. So I think it will be difficult to qualify directly. But if it's for the League, then I think PSG is still quite good. They seem to have to work hard, besides that bringing in experienced players in the UCL is certainly a good factor. In addition, the mentality of fighting hard must be applied, so that their understanding has been paid dearly. Let's see if there is still a chance for them to go straight to the next round.
It's true that I see PSG this season is very different from PSG last season even though last season they were also in a fairly difficult group but their performance was quite strong because they still had Mbappe but now they seem to have difficulty winning, especially since their opponents in 8 matches of the Champions League are quite tough, there are 5 clubs that PSG must face but it seems quite difficult to win
1. Arsenal (already passed but PSG lost)
2. Atletico Madrid
3. RB Salzburg
4. Bayern Munich
5. Manchester City
These clubs are very strong, I think PSG will have a hard time getting through to the last 16, they need to get at least 1 point in each match against these clubs to be able to get into the play-off.
