Will mega-star Lionel Messi (34) finally bring Paris St.-Germain the long-awaited Champions League title?
France legend Thierry Henry (44) doubts it! Because the key to success is not “superhuman” professionals, but “balance” and defensive work …
“Balance is the most important thing. At a certain point we always talk about great players, attacks, offensive play – but we need balance, ”says the ex-national player in“ Dimanche Soir Foot ”at Amazone Prime.

Above all, working on the defensive plays an important role: “In general, teams that get few goals are never far from the title, or even from the Champions League.”
It is true that it is “a little easier” to win titles when you have “superhuman players”. But: “When I see how Paris is developing, they are currently conceding too many goals for my taste to move forward.”
Clear words from Henry, who won the premier class with FC Barcelona in 2009! Henry: “When we talk about the team I played with at Barca, people often forget that we only conceded a few goals.”
At PSG, Messi will form one of the most dangerous attack lines in Europe with Kylian Mbappé (should he not change after all) and Neymar.
Last season, it was not Paris Saint-Germain who won the championship, but the underdog team of Lille OSC. Also in the Champions League it was not enough for the trophy (semi-final against ManCity).

Ex-professional Jean-Pierre Papin (57) thinks – unlike Henry – that it will be “difficult” this season to prevent PSG from “winning everything”. However, “surprises can happen; it will be a tough challenge to stop Messi, Neymar and Mbappé.”
Papin, who played for Bayern among others, also says about the sheik clubs: “I admire PSG very much, but it is unusual for a state (PSG was taken over by a Qatari investor group in 2011) to run a club. If they have unlimited resources, which is the case, anything is possible. “
