PSG Under Pressure in Champions League Without Mbappe’s Firepower

Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid has left Paris Saint-Germain struggling in this season’s Champions League. As PSG prepare to face Atletico Madrid, they’ve managed only four points in three group-stage games, despite dominating in Ligue 1 without their former star.

PSG’s recent European form has been disappointing, with a narrow win over Girona due to a late own goal, a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal, and a frustrating 1-1 draw with PSV despite 26 attempts on goal. Their lack of a consistent finisher has proven costly, echoing familiar struggles from last season’s semi-finals.
