Paris Saint-Germain has been turning heads across Europe, reaching the Champions League final for the second year running under Luis Enrique. The Spanish tactician has built a disciplined, collective unit that's earning praise from all corners of the football world. But Sofiane Boufal, the Le Havre midfielder, isn't convinced this is the most beautiful PSG he's ever seen.

Reflecting on his own battles against the Parisians, Boufal draws a fascinating comparison between Luis Enrique's current squad and the star-studded team coached by Laurent Blanc between 2013 and 2016. "I had the chance to play against Laurent Blanc's PSG back then, and for me, it is comparable to Luis Enrique's," Boufal told Foot Mercato. "The current PSG just has more success in the Champions League. But Laurent Blanc's was incredible."

Boufal recalls a particularly brutal encounter where his side found themselves 4-0 down after just 20 minutes. That Blanc-era team boasted global icons like Zlatan Ibrahimović and Edinson Cavani, alongside midfield maestros Marco Verratti, Thiago Motta, and Blaise Matuidi. "There were stars," Boufal remembers, "but it was a great team. Everyone knew what they had to do. Star or not, it's about how you adapt to the collective."

Of course, that era ended in disappointment—Blanc was shown the door after a Champions League quarterfinal exit to Manchester City. Fast forward to today, and Luis Enrique's PSG has taken that collective ethos to new heights, with "cracks" like Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé putting the team first. Boufal's comparison is a timely reminder that great football isn't just about trophies—it's about the chemistry that makes a team truly unforgettable.
