PSG Thrives After Mbappé's Departure: A New Era of Teamwork and Success

Despite Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid, PSG is thriving with impressive teamwork. New signings and existing players have stepped up, leading the French league with three wins and 13 goals. While Mbappé’s financial dispute with PSG continues off the pitch, the team looks ahead to crucial upcoming matches.

Kylian Mbappé's departure was expected to sidetrack Paris Saint-Germain this season. How would a team long viewed as over-reliant on the France superstar cope without him after his move to Real Madrid? It turns out, quite well.

PSG is the only team to have won its first three games in the French league, scoring an impressive 13 goals. The goals are being shared around and teamwork has improved under coach Luis Enrique's side.

Bradley Barcola has led the way with four goals, while Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-in have netted twice each. Ousmane Dembélé has chipped in with a goal and two assists, and new signing João Neves leads the league with three assists.

Beyond the forwards, Vitinha and Warren Zaïre-Emery form a solid midfield with the 19-year-old Neves, who joined during the offseason from Benfica. For now, Mbappé's absence seems more palpable off the field.

On Wednesday, Mbappé rejected a mediation offer by the French soccer league's legal commission in a dispute with PSG over wages and bonuses. PSG officials and Mbappé's representatives have met, with Mbappé claiming the club owes him 55 million euros. The club, however, is pleased with how the commission hearing went.

Amid the ongoing power struggle with its ex-striker, PSG's current forwards are gearing up for more goals against Brest on Saturday and Girona in the Champions League next week. As Mbappé prepares for his European debut with Madrid, the possibility of their paths crossing again remains.
