#2 Paris Saint-Germain
Trending
When you think of defensive resolution fused with free-flowing counter attacking football, you instantly picture Paris Saint-Germain. Unai Emery has had his talented squad of players playing in a way they’ve never played in before this season. The French champions showed the world how excellent they could be in their 4-0 drubbing of Barcelona in Paris, although they capitulated a week later.
It’s been a mixed season for Emery as his team find themselves three points behind AS Monaco in the Ligue 1, having played one more game. If Monaco win their next game they’ll become Ligue 1 champions.
It’s hard to pinpoint the weaknesses in this complete squad, but to accommodate a player of the calibre of Coutinho, Blaise Matuidi would have to be sacrificed. Matuidi is a box-to-box player who makes wily runs as well as covers his full-backs in defence.
His work rate would have to be sacrificed to ensure PSG’s attacking prowess becomes more irresistible. Imagine the attacking play we’d witness with Di Maria, Lucas Moura and Edinson Cavani making runs with Coutinho feeding and linking up with them. C’est terrifique.
