The Supreme Team has been assembled. Now comes the hard—and what should mostly be fun—part.
Not since Real Madrid’s binge in 2009 has a single summer transfer haul resulted in so many high-profile stars reshaping a global contender. Twelve years after Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Kaká and Raúl Albiol headlined a class that transformed the Spanish power, PSG has hit back with a legendary class of its own. Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Georginio Wijnaldum have taken what was already a fine collection of individual stars and supersized it, mostly through the help of a perfect storm of out-of-contract standouts and the cash in reserve to pay their outlandish wages.
