No lifetime pledge

Watch Paris Saint-Germain three times.

Three wins prove little. Catch the team in three different kinds of match.

Match one

Follow Ousmane Dembélé

Follow Ousmane Dembélé near either wing. Watch how he shifts the defender before dribbling, passing inside or running at goal.

Match two

Ignore the score for a few minutes

Watch how the central midfield creates room for an attacker to receive facing goal. Then follow Vitinha before receiving: notice the space selected, the first touch and whether the next pass speeds the attack up or settles it down.

Match three

Would you watch again?

After three matches, ask what you would tell a friend about the team. If you only remember the result, keep looking.

What to watch

What to keep an eye on.

Watch how the central midfield creates room for an attacker to receive facing goal.

Also look for one-on-one threat, midfield control and elite stakes. If they keep appearing across three matches, they matter.

What is the catch with choosing Paris Saint-Germain?

You may end up following the stars more than the club. If that still sounds good after three matches, you probably have your answer.
