Paris Saint-Germain’s “team of stars” has delivered the perfect season with the departures of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, and Neymar. The team, led by former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, is now widely recognized as the number one club side in the world. A win against Chelsea in Sunday’s FIFA Club World Cup final would confirm their status.
Enrique emphasized that his team’s success is not solely dependent on individual players, but rather a collective effort from 11 talented individuals. The coach stated that having a “team of stars” is what sets PSG apart, and that the entire Parc des Princes is the star on the pitch.
PSG booked their place in the final with convincing wins against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Atlético Madrid, as well as a dominant 5-0 Champions League win against Inter Milan. However, coach Enrique acknowledged that the final against Chelsea will be a challenging game.
“This is not just about winning; it’s about putting the icing on the cake,” Enrique said. “We’ve had an incredible season, and I’m proud of my team for what they’ve achieved.”
PSG captain Marquinhos urged his teammates to seize the opportunity to become world champions, emphasizing that every match has its own story. The team is ready for the title, with Enrique having prepared them well.
The final will be a 50-50 bet, but PSG’s confidence and collective effort make them strong contenders. With their modern-day version of stars on the pitch, Marquinhos believes this team is the best of the lot.
