Not only does PSG have a sparkling attack, but they also back it up with some solid defensive players. Captain Thiago Silva has been a pillar in the PSG defense in the past 7 seasons and continues to be one of their key players. He also has a good header on him and scored 16 goals in 264 matches for them.

Moreover, Jean Bernat has also become a major threat for the opposition from the set-pieces. He scored a goal against Liverpool in the last match and could have scored another.

Marco Veratti is also a very dependable player in the midfield for PSG. He can retain possession in the midfield to give the forwards enough time to reorganize themselves and then play passes to them. Veratti has played 253 matches for PSG in the last 7 seasons and been one of the reasons behind their recent success.

Thomas Meunier, the Belgian right-back, is also one of the most underrated fullbacks in the world and provides momentum to PSG’s attacks with his overlapping runs. Thus, PSG has the right mix in its squad and remains one of the most balanced sides in the world.
