One of PSG's most commendable points this season in the Champions League is their improvement through each competition week. They were once at risk of being eliminated after the qualifying round. After that, Luis Enrique's team defeated Liverpool in the first knockout round, at that time The Kop was the team leading the qualifying round and had almost absolute strength.
Subsequent victories against English teams such as Aston Villa and Arsenal proved PSG's uniformity and perfection in playing style. If compared to other opponents such as Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich, Arsenal may not be a big name, but fans will look at the way PSG plays, not who their opponents are on the journey to the final.
PSG in Enrique's hands is different from themselves when Messi - Neymar - Mbappe. With this trio of atoms, the French team cannot be able to press synchronously. Currently, everything is completely opposite. When attacking, Enrique's entire squad will approach 1/3 of the opponent's field and vice versa. It is not difficult to see that in PSG's recent matches, strikers like Dembele or Kvaratskhelia always appear close to the home team's penalty area when the opponent constantly pressures.
To reach perfection, a team must own a synchronous and versatile midfield. PSG currently have Ruiz - Vitinha - Neves, who can be everything in the midfield area. They have the ability to dribble, hold the ball, support the defense and finish well. Fabian Ruiz's goal against Arsenal last night was one of the clear evidences. When the three attackers are in trouble, PSG always have stars behind them to support.
Liverpool and Arsenal are famous for their very strong midfield but still have to say goodbye to PSG's trio. There were times when the French representative almost did not let their opponents play football. That is the kind of strength that does not come naturally, it must be practiced from tireless training sessions according to a pre-determined philosophy.
Enrique won the Barcelona title in 2015, but over the past 10 years, everything has changed a lot, especially in terms of tactical systems. Tiki-taka is no longer popular, instead it needs to be upgraded in terms of power and speed. Speaking of this, PSG is not currently inferior to any team in Europe. Seeing how PSG's strikers organize counter-attacks against Arsenal, when they need speed, PSG can ensure the output is at the best level. With just a few passes and a breakthrough, the ball could have been in the opponent's net.
Finally, Donnarumma was blocked. The Italian goalkeeper is like an unpermeable wall in front of PSG's goal. In the return match against Arsenal, the away team had 3 very dangerous situations in the first 12 minutes alone. If Donnarumma had not been sturdy at the time, PSG might not have made a final appearance.
5 years ago, PSG suffered a bitter defeat with only 1 goal conceded against Bayern in the final. Billion-dollar Euros has been poured into by Arabian owners for more than 10 years, now is the most appropriate time for it to achieve the title of a team it has never won.
