Ever since Qatar Sports Investment took over Paris Saint-Germain in 2011, the French Ligue 1 side has grown in strength and become a major powerhouse in Europe.
They have dominated Ligue 1 over the past 10 seasons by winning eight league titles, with only Monaco and Lille breaking their winning streak.
This is arguably PSG's most talented squad, both individually and collectively, composed of such high-profile players as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé leading the team's attack, while Marco Verratti plays in the heart of the midfield, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi take defence and Gianluigi Donnarumma waits between the sticks.
Indeed, Les Parisiens have created a winning machine by buying some of the world's top talent, but to really be labelled a 'super team', they need to win it all, and that means winning the Champions League.
