PSG are incredibly formidable under Enrique.

In the early hours of May 7th, Paris Saint Germain not only defeated Bayern Munich to reach the Champions League final, but they also proved themselves to be the most complete team in Europe at the moment.

There are matches where even a defeat is enough to warrant applause. On the morning of May 7th, Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich played football with great self-respect at the Allianz Arena. But on the opposite side, Paris Saint-Germain showed they are reaching a different level.

Luis Enrique's PSG is no longer a team that relies solely on attacking flair and moments of brilliance from star players.

PSG are great in attack and equally good in defense.

After two nail-biting semi-final matches against Bayern Munich, the reigning Champions League champions showed all of Europe that they are now a fully functional machine.

PSG no longer relies on improvisation.

Legendary manager Arsene Wenger admitted on beIN SPORTS after the match: "I want to emphasize the quality of PSG, a truly complete team with excellent cohesion."

Just three minutes into the Allianz Arena, PSG delivered the first blow. Kvaratskhelia broke through Bayern's pressing system with a cool run before assisting Ousmane Dembele for the goal.

That goal didn't simply give Bayern an advantage in terms of the scoreline. It drew Bayern into the psychological trap that PSG had set. Within just three minutes, Bayern found themselves needing to score three goals to win.

When the German team was forced to push forward and play under pressure, PSG immediately turned the game into a tactical torture session. They dropped deep, maintained perfect spacing, and pressed like machines.

The most frightening aspect is that PSG defends with their entire team, with a rhythmic, whirlpool-like motion. Vitinha, Joao Neves, and Fabian Ruiz cover every space in the midfield.

PSG can be ruthless when necessary.

Marquinhos and Willian Pacho won almost every one-on-one challenge. Even Dembele was charging back like a true full-back. Not to mention, PSG's defense was also without Achraf Hakimi due to injury.

What's remarkable about PSG this season is that they're no longer dependent on a single individual. If they can neutralize Dembele, opponents will have to deal with Kvaratskhelia. If they can shut down the left flank, Desire Doue or Bradley Barcola will step in and punish any mistakes by the opposition.

Enrique created a terrifying machine.

More importantly, PSG knows how to play in different situations. In Paris, they were ready to go to a 5-4 penalty shootout with Bayern. But in Munich, the French team displayed a chillingly pragmatic style of football. This is a sign of a mature team that knows what it needs to do.

Bayern didn't play badly at all; Harry Kane still scored, and Michael Olise and Luis Diaz still exerted great pressure. But as the game progressed, the feeling of helplessness became increasingly evident on the faces of the home team. PSG increasingly resembled an impenetrable wall.

PSG have a historic opportunity if they successfully defend their Champions League title.

When the final whistle blew, Kane broke down in tears while Luis Enrique clenched his fists amidst a sea of ​​PSG fans. It was more than just a moment of a simple semi-final victory.

It's like an affirmation that PSG is no longer a team that relies on the brilliance of superstars. In a few years, they have removed top stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Sergio Ramos, and Gianluigi Donnarumma from their squad.

Instead, PSG has assembled a squad of young players, full of confidence and ambition, and more importantly, all imbued with a spirit of serving the collective good. Now, that team has become the most formidable contender in Europe.

And in Budapest, Arsenal will face the best version of PSG in many years.
