In recent memory, not a single club has had a better transfer window than Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint Germain. The Paris based club signed Gianluigi Donarumma, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mended and Gini Wijnaldum in one single transfer window!
What makes their window even more unbelievable is that they signed these players when they already had players like Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Marqunihos. This super team is the closest a team can get in emulating the Galacticos of Real Madrid. But will they also suffer as the Galacticos did?

PSG players have a great relationship with each other, reveals Ander Herrera
The main problem in building a super club is managing the clashing of egos. It is very natural for star players to be treated in a special manner since they are used to it. All this changed when they are brought into a mix of another 15 players who are equally big in talent and stature.
It is very easy for such teams to disintegrate and perform poorly. This was also the case with Real Madrid’s Galacticos who never won a Champions League together. Luckily for PSG, this is not a problem, Ander Herrera reveals.

Who will take penalties for PSG?
Ander Herrera while speaking to Marca revealed that star players like Messi, Neymar, and Mbaape have a great relationship with each other. When quipped about who will be taking the penalty kick between the three, Herrera revealed that it hasn’t been decided yet. He then cheekily suggested that maybe the three [Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe] could indulge in a game of rock-paper-scissors to find out.
“The truth is, it hasn’t happened yet and we haven’t discussed it, but one thing is clear: I’m not going to shoot them (laughs). I only have that certainty. But I don’t think so. whether that’s a problem because Ney, Leo, and Kylian have a fantastic relationship. I don’t know if they’re going to take turns or do rock-paper-scissors (laughs). I have no idea at the moment.”
