This season, Goncalo Ramos has scored 15 goals for PSG in all competitions. |
Paris Saint-Germain are on the brink of history. The Ligue 1 title has been won, the Coupe de France final awaits, and now the focus turns to the Champions League, where the French giants face Arsenal in the semi-finals.
Under the skillful hands of coach Luis Enrique, PSG not only possesses a top-class squad but also a united team, eager to conquer the top. Amidst the halo of Dembele, Doue or Kvaratskhelia, a name that could become the unexpected "dark horse" to bring glory to PSG is Goncalo Ramos.
Luis Enrique - the "conductor" who revives collective strength
Since arriving in Paris, Luis Enrique has breathed new life into PSG. The Spanish tactician has built a team that is no longer overly dependent on individual stars. Instead, team spirit and cohesion are given top priority.
PSG are now a powerful fighting machine, where every player is ready to sacrifice for the common goal. Obviously, the change in strategy of the board of directors is the foundation, but it is Luis Enrique who makes the difference, bringing a fiery attacking style of play that is no less persistent and fierce.
PSG's current squad is the perfect blend of experience and youth, with bright stars spread across all lines. From the "spider" Donnarumma in goal, the steel duo Marquinhos - Hakimi in defense, the "brain" Vitinha in midfield, to the potential attack with Dembele, the "rough diamond" Desire Doue and the "detonator" Kvaratskhelia. Each individual has the ability to create a turning point in top matches.
Although not a regular starter, Goncalo Ramos has always proven his worth every time he enters the field. |
In the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, PSG's attacking prowess will certainly be their main weapon. However, with all eyes on the established stars, Goncalo Ramos could be the mystery man who decides the fate of the match.
Goncalo Ramos - the "unknown" with a surprising name
Joining PSG from Benfica in 2023, Goncalo Ramos has not really taken up the starting position as expected. However, every time given the opportunity, the Portuguese striker always knows how to shine.
Impressive statistics with 15 goals and 5 assists after 1,344 minutes of playing time in 32 matches show Ramos' ability to take advantage of great opportunities. Although he is not Luis Enrique's "favorite child", he is still a quality reserve player, ready to explode when the team needs him.
Unlike the wide, fast forward Luis Enrique favours, Gonçclo Ramos is a typical 'number 9', strong in the air and always present in hot spots in the penalty area. This is a valuable quality in tense Champions League matches, where a moment of brilliance can change the game.
Especially when facing a disciplined defense like Arsenal, PSG may need a "spearhead" like Ramos, who can make a wall, press and finish coolly in set pieces or messy situations. With his strength and sharp positioning, Ramos can absolutely become the key to opening the door to the final for PSG.
Against Arsenal, Goncalo Ramos could be PSG's "X Factor". |
Clearly, Ramos is not a top priority in Luis Enrique's starting lineup, nor does he possess the same flashy moves as his other attacking teammates. However, in a long journey in the Champions League, especially in the knockout stage full of surprises, PSG will need diversity in their playing style.
There are times when a striker who can capitalise on seemingly small opportunities becomes vital. And Goncalo Ramos is a natural fit for that.
With what he has shown, Ramos has proven that he is not just a mere backup option. If PSG wants to realize their dream of a historic "treble", making the most of all the resources at hand is essential, and Goncalo Ramos is the potential "dark horse" that they cannot ignore.
In a season where PSG have shown formidable strength in all competitions, the brilliance of their top stars is predictable. But it is the unexpected appearance of an "unknown" like Goncalo Ramos that could make the difference, helping the Parisian team overcome the toughest challenges, including the fierce confrontation with Arsenal, to get closer to the prestigious Champions League trophy.
Let's wait and see what surprise the "dark horse" wearing the number 19 shirt of PSG will bring.
