The transformation at PSG has been remarkable considering the high-profile departures of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe over the last two summer windows. Many expected the club to struggle following the exit of their ‘Galactico’ front three, but Henry believes the shift toward a more cohesive, youth-driven squad has actually made them more dangerous.
“It’s easy to say now that PSG is a good team,” Henry explained. “When all those guys left two years ago, everyone thought, ‘Oh my god, where are they going to go from that?’ Then they got Bradley Barcola, and then they got Desire Doue. At that time, you’re not thinking those guys are going to do what they did. But because Enrique is so sound on how he likes to play, they have done it.”
He added: Do you remember what Ousmane Dembele said? He said, ‘If you don’t run at Paris Saint-Germain, you’re out’. Simple as that.”
