That is what PSG has not achieved until now because PSG only has the ability to dominate Ligue 1 without being able to dominate the Champions League. So most people have no longer hoped for PSG's dominance in the Champions League but only in Ligue, because it is not only about the star-studded club. But also because of the mentality and the way the coach gives his tactics to the team and their own players.
This season, PSG's squad has very few star players. Even so, with the help of Luis Enrique, the team is able to play quite well. Although the squad is not very strong, Luis Enrique has been able to bring stability to PSG's performance. PSG is performing well in Ligue 1. We have seen good performances from PSG in several matches in the Champions League.
PSG's bad luck is that they are going to face the strong Liverpool in the Round of 16. Liverpool was at the top of the table in the first round. Liverpool has played well in almost every match of the Champions League. If PSG's opponent was not Liverpool, PSG might have been able to qualify for the quarter-finals. But at the moment, beating Liverpool is much more difficult for PSG.
With the acquisition of Kvaratskhelia in the January transfer window, PSG now has a replacement for the departure of Mbappe. However, don't be fooled by PSG success in defeating Manchester City in the League Phase, facing Liverpool is certainly much more difficult. It's true that Luis Enrique is a key factor in PSG reaching the round of 16, the former Barcelona manager has ample experience to maximize the potential of the existing squad.
The path PSG has to take this season to reach the quarter-finals is quite challenging. If the draw hadn't pitted them against Liverpool, then Barcelona would have been PSG opponent in the round of 16. In theory, Liverpool is more deserving of being favored, but PSG cannot be underestimated. This will be the most exciting match, apart from the big matches between Bayern versus Leverkusen and Real Madrid versus Atletico.
