All eyes are on PSG, the titleholder, as it enters the season with a star-studded squad. The striking partnership of Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to be a focal point. Amidst the spotlight on these forwards, the contribution of midfielder Blaise Matuidi should not be overlooked.
Matuidi, a driving force for PSG in the past two seasons, has risen to a remarkable level. Last season, he played 37 league matches, scoring 5 goals. The Franco-Angolan midfielder has become a crucial figure in PSG’s midfield trio.
Matuidi faced competition for his place in the midfield during the Carlo Ancelotti era but managed to establish himself. While acknowledging his progress, Matuidi acknowledges the need for improvement in his forward passing game and the ability to break lines.
Having demonstrated tireless energy throughout the previous season, playing in Ligue 1, the Champions League, and cup matches, there are questions about whether Matuidi can maintain the same pace in the upcoming season. Despite potential challenges, the midfielder remains a key figure in PSG’s quest for continued success.
