Paris Saint-Germain, under the guidance of Luis Enrique, has undergone a remarkable transformation. The Spanish coach has built a cohesive team that is now flourishing. The Parisian club is dreaming of a historic treble, getting closer to it with each passing day.

After securing the Ligue 1 title, PSG now awaits the French Cup final against Reims and the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Arsenal. Only four games stand between them and the possibility of winning three trophies in a single season.

Beyond the impressive results, PSG under Luis Enrique exudes the spirit of a true team. The era of superstar talents with weak work ethics is over.

Building a United Team

The decision by PSG’s management to change strategy was crucial, but “Lucho” has been the key to this transformation. The Spanish coach has revitalized the team’s spirit; the players compete with full commitment and always act for the team’s benefit.

Although PSG no longer boasts big-name stars, it has world-class players in every position. From Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal, Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi in defense, Vitinha in midfield, to a fearsome attack featuring Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and others.

This team has elite players in every position, which will be vital in the tough semi-final against Arsenal. PSG must deliver its best performance to overcome the English side, especially relying on its attacking prowess. But Luis Enrique also has a “secret man” who could play a crucial role.

Dembélé, Kolo Muani, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia… Lucho has plenty of options to challenge the Gunners. However, one underrated player could make a difference at the highest level of European competition.

A Classic Number 9

That man is Goncalo Ramos. Since joining from Benfica in 2023, the Portuguese striker hasn’t played as pivotal a role as expected. Yet, he has made the most of his opportunities. In 32 games and 1,344 minutes, he has scored 15 goals and provided 5 assists—impressive stats for limited playing time.

It’s clear that Ramos’s style doesn’t fully align with Luis Enrique’s preference for mobile, dynamic forwards. But he offers a different option. Ramos is a classic No. 9—strong in duels and always well-positioned in the box.

Champions League battles are long and grueling. There are moments for every style of play, and Goncalo Ramos could be the perfect option when Arsenal parks the bus or PSG needs an all-out attack. He may not start, but he’s a secret weapon with a high goal-scoring ability—invaluable at the highest level.
