I wasn't expecting PSG to defend the title this season, because they are satisfied with their victory last season. If you observe their recent performance, it's not as classic as last season. I don't think that they will go far this season in the Champions League. Ligue 1 is their birth right since they're the only rich club in the league.
Is it right to reach to conclusions so quickly ? Have you seen PSG's performance in the Champions League at the beginning of last season? PSG's performance in the first round was very inconsistant . And I did not think that this team would be able to qualify for the playoffs. Anyway , the team was able to qualify for the playoffs due to their good performance in the last three matches.
Is PSG's performance weak this season? We have jnot seen the performance of psgbest XI yet. PSG did not play with their best XI in the FIFA Club World Cup either. Luis Enrique gave his young players a chance in the first match of Ligue 1 as well. Players like Dembele, Hakimi, Kvaratskhelia, Mendes and DOue were not in the starting XI. So we still don't know how PSG's best XI will perform this season.
It is definitely very difficult for PSG to win the title this season. But it is not yet time to reach this conclusion that it is impossible. Moreover, the Champions League is always unpredictable
