PSG all unity and smart spending

THE revolution in Paris that led Luis Enrique’s team to Uefa Champions League glory for the first time is being echoed across Europe, as even clubs that once embodied the Galácticos-era have abandoned efforts to ‘buy’ the top prize in European football.

The PSG coach is now reaping the plaudits for building an energetic, youthful and dynamic team that is mesmerising to watch. It is built on teamwork and unity of purpose, rather than relying on the individual brilliance of former megastars, such as Kylian Mbappé, Neymar or Lionel Messi.
Youngsters like Désiré Doué, Warren Zaire-Emery, Bradley Barcola and Senny Mayulu have Paris fans salivating at the prospect of years of European dominance.
The change in direction at PSG, majority-owned by Qatari government-backed investment fund Qatar Sports Investments, is not unique.
