Surely they're not going to win a third UCL in a row, rightSurely this timeline can't get THAT gay
>>158563791unless they get more long term injuries and the McDonald’s league doesn’t suddenly turn competitive they are the clear favorites.
>>158563791the qataris already paid to win three in a row
Mou will stop them
>>158563791Depends, in both seasons they have tough competitive ties where small margins could've changed things, with a bit more luck Bayern could've taken them out last season, and Villa had several good chance to score and level the tie the year before, if it goes to ET and pens then who knows what would've happened.But they have a damn good chance because they have the most lethal and clinical attack ever
>>158563875It helps that their national league is a joke and they can pretty much focus entirely on the UCL while most everyone else can never be in peak physical form
>>158563881True, I think it can both help and hinder, because I think some old PSG teams got so used to having it easy every week they struggled to raise their game for actual good teams.
>>158563791We're winning four in a row.(You) can't stop us.
>>158563881>>158563892I love how the argument has done a complete turnaround because no one can accept that Enrique's PSG is just a good team.>2023>"PSG is never going to win it because the level of Ligue 1 is too low, their best opposition would be bottom-feeders in any other league, they just can't get to european level of play when this is what they hone their squad with>2026>PSG has an unfair advantage in Europe because the level of Ligue 1 is so low, they can play their B team in the regular season and rest their starters for the UCL when others have to manage team depth every weekWhich is it ? Is Ligue 1 so shit that PSG can't get better and perform in Europe or is Ligue 1 so shit that PSG has an advantage in Europe ?
>>158563881>Ligue 1 is shit, they will never win the UCL because theylack opposition and competitiveness!>Ligue 1 is shit, they alwaysnwin the UCL because they get to rest on the week-end!ZzzzzZzzzzz
>>158564011Those two points aren’t mutually exclusive. The old team was full of old past their prime stars who just wanted to make some money before retirement. The new team is full of hungry young players who want to be the best team in Europe. Ligue 1 is shit either way
>>158564011>>158564016Copium
>>158564011No one says modern PSG isn't a great team.
>>158564011Mate Ligue 1 is shit, Lens just lost 9-1 at home and no French team besides PSG has won CL in the 21st century, if anything it's actually MORE of a compliment to this Enrique team that they're able to raise their game and still win.
>>158564049ARSEnal lost
>>158564011Well they stopped playing their best players in McDonald’s so they almost exclusively play in UCL which is a very high level. As Polandball says: your argument is not mutually exclusive Luis Enrique simply split the team into JV and Varsity. Obviously JV plays in McDonald’s …because it’s shit
>>158564016Yes, precisely. Lordy the modern “Frenchman” truly is retarded.
hmm.
>>158563791>this timeline can't get THAT gayLook who's talking
No kvara means guys like akliouche and godts are gonna have to step up. Worse comes to worse they buy another attacker in January
>>158565785We haven't won a UCL in what, like 11 years now
>>158565897Despite having infinite money and basically no competition, since basically forever
>>158565955No competition? In Europe? Because Bayern, PSG, Madrid, Liverpool, City, etc don't exist or something?
>>158563791be better then
>>158565983DomesticallyIn Europe everyone has the same competition, so there's no point comparing
i hate how zoomers have made "UCL" a thing, it doesn't even make sense to type it over CL as it's a letter longer but sheep will be sheep
>>158564011>>158564016It's very easy to resolve this. Under Luis Enrique, and especially after Mbappe's lazy ass was gone, PSG adopted an aggressive pressing style at the Champions League which a squad can only pull off effectively if they're well-rested beforehand and don't have to play like that throughout the season. This was not true for PSG previously, and their playstyle then didn't offer much advantages for being well-rested (though the fact that Messi chose Ligue 1 as his vacation league in prep for the 2022 World Cup indicates that players knew at the time the league was less demanding).
>>158565792>No kvara means guys like akliouche and godts are gonna have to step up. Worse comes to worse they buy another attacker in JanuaryThey're signing this beast. Luis Enrique even defended him:https://www.givemesport.com/luis-enrique-racism-comments-neymar-vinicius-junior-prestianni/https://onefootball.com/en/news/bayern-munich-and-psg-tracking-benficas-gianluca-prestianni-amid-renewal-talks-43746698
>>158566032I wonder as well. As if the „UEFA“ makes any difference, surely no one reads CL and thinks „oh yeah, the Asian Champions League“
>>158566083>>158566032"CL" is vague outside of a board like this and googling it won't even give you the correct result. But google "UCL" and you'll get the Champions League and it's much more precise.
>>158566078This makes me like PSG more
>>158563881Ligue 1 teams are a joke but their defenders are butchers, put any la lelga fag on the pitch, farmer team will take 4 goals but manage to ACL torn all opponents forwards
>>158563881Why didnt PSG ever win shit before Mbappe left if it's as easy as having a weak domestic league? Also, let's not pretend that Madrid and Bayern aren't regular favorites to be champions of Yurp.

>>158563791>Surely this timeline can't get THAT gayUnfortunately it is and it was confirmed when Madrid won 16-18
>>158578196MSN's run was the last time football felt genuinely fun
>>158579141Gordon and Adeyemi signings are already flops
>>158563791it is that gay
This might have some effects
>>158587187this has to be AI
>>158563791i hope they and City wins the next 4 UCL. European football is gay as shit.
>>158563791I lowkey think a lot of Luis Enrique’s players would struggle at another club.Enrique is the type of manager who only buys players strictly for his system, where relentless work rate is just as important to him as pure talent. We are already seeing how Vitinha and João Neves struggle to replicate their PSG midfield dominance when they play for Portugal.It genuinely makes you wonder how his players would fare if they stepped outside of that specific setup. I mean, just look at Barcola and Goncalo Ramos.
