Arguably one of the most endowed and valuable teams in the world, Paris Saint-Germain have been decent and have shown consistency in the 2022-23 campaign.

Christophe Galtier's team have won four of their last five games across all competitions. They are the current Ligue 1 leaders with 47 points from 19 games and have a three-point gap over second-placed Lens.

They are also still competing in all cup competitions.

Given their impressive run of form, both the manager and players deserve to be credited for their immense display as they look to defend their Ligue 1 title.
