Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has had a successful start to the 2022 season and is currently at the top of the Ligue 1 table. The team has won 13 of their 15 games, drawn two, and lost none in this incredible league run.
The Parisians have also advanced to the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, where they will face Bayern Munich in the Round of 16.
Thanks to their players who lit up the stage in Qatar, including captain Lionel Messi, who won the World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has the potential to have an insanely successful and trophy-laden season.
There are four reasons why PSG should scare clubs across Europe:
1. PSG can score for fun
PSG has a star-studded attacking lineup, so the team can score for fun. Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Kylian Mbappé are PSG’s formidable attacking trio. These three players are a formidable force on the field because they have consistently scored goals and provided opportunities for their teammates.
This season, Paris Saint-Germain’s attacking trio of Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar have been on fire, netting 43 goals between them in the Champions League and Ligue 1. The trio’s quality and capacity to consistently score goals are exemplified by their impressive goal total.
The same can be seen in their impressive performances at the FIFA World Cup. PSG can outperform any team in world football on their day.
2. They have a rock-solid defense
PSG’s attacking prowess is complemented by their solid defense. In 15 Ligue 1 games, the team has only given up 9 goals, which is the lowest total in the league. Marquinhos and Sergio Ramos, two center-backs, have worked well together at the back, and Donnarumma has been a reliable goalkeeper.
The team’s standout performers have been Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi and Portuguese defender Nuno Mendes. Their impressive performances as fullbacks have received praise from both fans and analysts. Both players have been a threat on offense and played important defense roles for the team.
3. The current team has a lot of experience
Another thing that could help PSG is how much experience their team has in high-pressure situations. In recent years, the team has reached the Champions League’s last stages, and the players as a whole have a lot of experience playing in big games. In crucial matches, this could give them an advantage over their rivals.
The current group at Paris Saint-Germain has consistently displayed a combination of exceptional talent, tenacity, and technical ability, allowing them to prevail in difficult situations. Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Ramos, and Verratti all have experience playing big games.
4. PSG is hungry for success
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is determined to win the prestigious UEFA Champions League after dominating the French league for more than a decade. The team hasn’t won this coveted trophy in over a decade, even though they reached the final in 2020 and the semifinals in 2021.
The team and its enthusiastic supporters share a desire for club football’s highest level of success. PSG would be disappointed if they didn’t win the Champions League, and they have everything they need to make this their season.
This season, PSG has the talent, experience, and depth necessary to win everything. They might be a force to be reckoned with in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League if the team is able to maintain its high level of performance and avoid major injuries.
