PSG starts Champions League without a galactico but seemingly better equipped to succeed

The French champions will face Benfica on Wednesday in their Champions League opener

Despite missing several key players, PSG will be confident of getting their campaign off to a winning start

Paris Saint-Germain will start their Champions League campaign on Wednesday without a galactico for the first time in a decade, but they may be better equipped to succeed than ever before.

The French champions have been the dominant force in Ligue 1 in recent years, but they have consistently fallen short in Europe's elite club competition.

This season, however, they have a squad that is deeper and more balanced than ever before.

Gone are the days when PSG relied on a few superstar players to carry them through.

Now, they have a team full of quality players who can all contribute.

This summer, PSG added several key players to their squad, including Vitinha, Renato Sanches, and Nordi Mukiele.

These players have all impressed in the early stages of the season, and they will be expected to play a major role in PSG's Champions League campaign.

PSG will face Benfica on Wednesday in their Champions League opener.

The Portuguese champions are a tough opponent, but PSG will be confident of getting their campaign off to a winning start.

If they can do that, they will be well on their way to achieving their goal of winning the Champions League for the first time.
