2. Paris Saint-Germain
Although PSG boast the game’s most expensive forward line, including the lavish summer additions of Neymar (€222 million from Barcelona) and Kylian Mbappe (€160m after moving initially on loan from Monaco), they cannot yet claim to be the best.
Nevertheless, the signs for PSG are promising. After barely three weeks working together, they are scoring a rate of goals unmatched by any other side in Europe, with all of their forward three contributing both in terms of assists and putting the ball in the net.
Can this continue on a long-term basis, though? Cavani and Neymar will have to find a way to work together if they are going to win the Champions League, and that could be the major hurdle they have to overcome.
Nevertheless, the potential is there for PSG to become the best in the world, particularly because of the depth they boast with the likes of Angel Di Maria, Julian Draxler and Lucas Moura to call from the bench.
