Neymar's injury disrupted Europe's most lethal attack

Strength of division and an untimely injury to Neymar make it difficult to evaluate how good PSG's attack truly is. When it comes to teams outside of La Liga and the Premier League, it's the Champions League matches that are the most relevant.

After a strong showing in their 3-0 win against Bayern at the beginning of the season, two poor displays in the return leg (3-1 loss in Munich) and the first leg against Real Madrid (3-1 at the Bernabeu) are the only real performances to go by so far.

Although some of their matches have been unimpressive and Neymar's injury, aswell as Champions League elimination, marring PSG's season, there is still no team in Europe that would voluntarily face this attack force.

In just 30 games, Neymar was directly involved in 47 goals scored by the French outfit prior to his injury. Cavani, on the other hand, finished Ligue 1 as the competition's top scorer with 28 goals in 32 matches.

Additionally, youngster Kylian Mbappe is already showing signs of the star that he could become, scoring 21 goals and assisting 16 in 46 matches for the French champions. With another year of experience under his belt, the French shooting star will only improve further.

It will be interesting to see what impact the new manager, Thomas Tuchel, will have on this trident. Unlike his predecessor Unai Emery, the German will not tolerate any egotistical behaviour from his players, which should also spell the end to the controversial penalty taking saga.
