Was Neymar the final piece in PSG’s Champions League jigsaw? That is the reasoning but too many maybes remain to unreservedly suggest they are the team best placed to put an end to Real Madrid’s run of success.
Dani Alves, who was key for Juventus in the latter stages of last season’s competition, should prove as useful to their European prospects as his compatriot and PSG can certainly end a barren spell of 23 years without a semifinal berth.
Kylian Mbappe adds another interesting option to an amazing front line but you wonder whether they have Champions League-winning depth in several, equally important, areas of the team. Matuidi was released for a very low fee in today’s market and with squad option Grzegorz Krychowiak having also left, they look like there are no options in the centre of the park.
There are also doubts about their central defensive reserves and while PSG should beat most sides in Europe, against the toughest opposition as at now, Real Madrid, they may fall just short.
