At the start of the season, everyone was predicting a “post-Mbappé collapse”. People acted like PSG was going to turn into a mid-table meme just because the superstar payroll was gone. Fast forward, and Luis Enrique has taken that “crisis” energy and built an absolute machine. The data does not lie: 26 wins, only 2 losses in Ligue 1, and every single trophy in sight, including smashing Real Madrid 4-0 in a Club World Cup semi. Even more telling, they have got 18 different players scoring. You cannot buy that kind of collective mentality with one superstar

But, you nailed it: Chelsea is not a walkover. PSG's biggest risk right now is not the opponent. It has always been themselves. They have already dropped points against “smaller” teams (Reims, Auxerre, etc.) when they thought they would walk it. Now you throw in suspensions to Pacho and Hernandez in defense, and suddenly Chelsea's attack actually has a target. If Enrique lets the dressing room buy into their own hype, it is textbook football hubris. He needs to keep them in siege mode, not parade mode, or that storybook season will have a nasty twist ending
