PSG is more scary than ever

In Munich, PSG didn't just win the Champions League. They announced the start of a dynasty.

Luis Enrique helps PSG win the 2024/25 Champions League.

The 5-0 win over Inter Milan was not just a win – it was a display of all-round power, youthful, modern and without flashy names. No more Kylian Mbappe. No more Lionel Messi. No more Neymar. But Luis Enrique’s PSG are more fearsome than the flashy “Galactico” version once built with the financial might of Qatar.

Because now, the French capital club has more than just money - they have strategy, identity, and most importantly: a real team.

From failed icon to new model

Ironically, PSG entered the 2025 Champions League final with more than a decade of ridicule behind them. The symbol of a "mega-project" lacking soul and long-term planning, where every failure was covered by... another star.

But things have changed.

Against Inter Milan - a seasoned side, in their second final in three years - PSG played as if the outcome was a foregone conclusion. They did not rush, did not panic, and did not falter when playing under pressure.

On the contrary, every move seemed pre-planned, every space seemed programmed. The 5-0 result was more than just a score. It was proof that: PSG no longer learned how to win. They learned how to win.

It is impossible to discuss the new PSG without mentioning Luis Enrique.

It is impossible to discuss the new PSG without mentioning Luis Enrique. This is no longer the team of egos that Mauricio Pochettino or Thomas Tuchel had. This is a team where every player knows they are a cog in a carefully engineered machine.

Enrique turned Ousmane Dembele - once considered a "turmoil" - into a pioneering pressing machine. He put Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the right role of "mobile midfielder" - someone who is not confined to the diagram but always appears in the hot spot. Achraf Hakimi - a former Interista - was completely released to become a trident penetrating the right wing.

While Inter rely on grit and tenacity, PSG bring something more frightening: structure. They play football that opponents cannot predict – not because it is too creative, but because it is too… perfect.

A slap in the face of prejudice

Before the 2024/25 Champions League final, PSG was doubted: the squad was too young, lacked leadership, and lacked experience. But when the final whistle blew, all prejudices were crushed.

Average squad age: 24 years 262 days. Only Marquinhos is over 30. Four teenagers have featured throughout the season. But on the pitch, they play like veterans: cool, disciplined, efficient.

PSG is now a young team.

Joao Neves, 20, was one of the tournament's most effective ball-winning midfielders. Nuno Mendes, 22, proved himself to be the best left-back in Europe, constantly breaking through the press and setting up deadly counter-attacks. Desire Doue, who turns 20 just days after the final, scored with the composure of a goal as if he had played in 10 finals before.

PSG didn't just win. They won in a way that made the rest of Europe feel small.

On their way to Munich, they demolished Anfield, Emirates and Villa Park - fortresses that had witnessed many legendary nights. But PSG dashed all expectations within minutes of each game. They did not let their opponents believe they had a chance.

It didn't come from magic - it came from tactical preparation, from the right personnel, from a united dressing room, and from the osmosis of Enrique's ideology: control, efficiency, dominance.

Domination in one season does not guarantee an empire – but PSG now have the foundations to build on. The club is not reliant on a single star. They have depth, a stable coaching approach, and almost unlimited financial power.

Real Madrid in the 2010s were the model. But PSG in 2025 could be even more formidable - because they are not a team of the past, but a team of the future.

Luis Enrique once said: “I don’t need the best players. I need the most suitable players.” PSG are the perfect embodiment of that philosophy – and the coming nightmare for all of Europe.

The crowning glory has been sent. Europe has heard it loud and clear. PSG are no longer the team of “almosts”. They are the kings. And they will not stop here.
