In an interview with Le Parisien, Paris Saint-Germain striker Lewandowski said that even with Mbappe's impending departure from Paris Saint-Germain, he believes the team is still capable of a bright future. Lewan praised the way the Paris Saint-Germain midfielders play and is optimistic about the progress of the team's young attacking players. He believes that Paris Saint-Germain is still a strong contender for the Champions League title and is capable of posing a threat to other European giants. Levein also recalled Barcelona's comeback elimination by Paris in the Champions League quarterfinals. He said it was heartbreaking and completely different from the first round, when the two sides played 11 v 11 for 90 minutes. At this level of the game, it is very difficult to fight against a team like Paris Saint-Germain when mistakes are made or poor decisions are taken.
Levein praised Barcelona's excellent performance in the first leg, but pointed out that serious mistakes made in the second leg prevented them from matching their opponents. He believes Paris now have a good chance of reaching the final, but will still need to remain vigilant against Dortmund as any unforeseen circumstances on the pitch could change tactics. Lewandowski is confident about the future of Paris Saint-Germain despite Mbappe's imminent departure. He believes that the team's young players will continue to improve and that Paris Saint-Germain will remain a powerhouse in European soccer. His speech reminded fans that even with the loss of a superstar, Paris Saint-Germain still has what it takes to compete in the Champions League and pose a threat to other giants.
