Kylian Mbappe reacts during the French L1 football match between Clermont Foot 63 and Paris Saint-Germain at Stade Gabriel Montpied in Clermont-Ferrand, central France on September 30, 2023. AFPPIX: A summer of change has left Paris Saint-Germain with a radically revamped squad, shorn of some of its biggest stars, and for now they remain a work in progress in what could be Kylian Mbappe's final season in the French capital.
Avoid defeat at St James' Park and Luis Enrique's team will be well on course to qualify for the knockout stages. Appointed in July, Luis Enrique won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015 and his remit is to at least take PSG back into the latter stages while continuing their domestic dominance.
While Mbappe stayed going into the final year of his deal after a contract dispute that overshadowed the summer, PSG spent huge sums on new faces who should help make for a better-balanced squad around him. Luis Enrique has set his side up in a 4-3-3, putting the focus on dominating the ball and aggressive counter-pressing.
It all makes PSG a different prospect to the last two years, where neither Neymar nor an ageing Messi could be relied on to help out defensively.
