PSG’s lack of team spirit is over!

On the eve of the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Chelsea (kick-off at 9pm, broadcast on Canal+), Le Parisien took a look at the image of Paris Saint-Germain within English football. Chris Waugh, journalist at The Athletic, highlighted the team’s collective evolution.

“It’s a young team made up of talented players.”

“PSG is no longer seen as a team without team spirit, as it was in the era of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé. The perception has changed because it’s a young team made up of talented players. Many Premier League fans would have loved to see Kvara in England. The way he plays is phenomenal. Vitinha as well, who is one of the best midfielders in the world.”

The observation is interesting. PSG used to have immense players, “global stars,” but a collective that was not very convincing. This was a hindrance in the biggest matches. Paris has not set talent aside, but has put the team first. It is now a collective that is strengthened by the talent of its individuals. This makes it more solid, better equipped in the long term, and therefore formidable. It’s also a style of football that is more appealing.

Even when Paris is not at its best, on a bad night, it’s worth noting that the players try for the team and that there is a desire to react together. Supporters identify more with the team, and opponents logically view the club differently.
