Paris Saint-Germain continued to assert their collective strength, achieving a significant victory over Villarreal with a score of 6-0, despite the absence of three of their standout players, namely Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Nuno Mendes.


Spanish outlet 'Mundo Deportivo' highlights Paris Saint-Germain's ability to cope with the absence of its stars, noting that the usual attacking line, consisting of Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, was not fully present, yet this did not affect the team's effectiveness.


Ousmane Dembélé suffered a hamstring injury, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sustained a cruciate ligament tear during the match against FC Barcelona, which also saw Nuno Mendes injured, ending in a 4-2 victory for Paris Saint-Germain.


Despite absences, Luis Enrique's team delivered a strong attacking display against Villarreal, taking a four-goal lead within the first 17 minutes, before finishing the match with a six-goal haul.


The Spanish coach relied on Akliouche and Maiolo alongside Désiré Doué in attack, later giving opportunities to young players such as Goudet and Wendianto.


The Spanish newspaper sees that Paris Saint-Germain's success does not rely on individual names as much as it is based on teamwork and commitment to Luis Enrique's philosophy, who has successfully implemented the motto: "All for one, and one for all."
