After his long illustrious career in Barcelona, Lionel Messi left the club and signed for PSG on a free transfer. La Liga’s financial restrictions meant that the Spanish club couldn’t afford to retain the services of the Argentinian captain.
Apart from Messi; Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Nuno Mendes arrived at the Parc des Princes in one of the most-insane transfer windows ever by a club.
With pace, technique, and physicality this PSG side looks intimidating on paper. Although their players are on astronomical wages, they have enough quality to compete among the very best. If they win the Champions League, it would be the first in the history of the club. They certainly have the squad to achieve that.
