In the lead-up to a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain's coach Luis Enrique dismissed rumors of internal strife within the team. The reigning European champions, who achieved historic success last season, are currently facing challenges in their performance, struggling to replicate their earlier form. After a disappointing defeat against Rennes, which knocked them off the top of the Ligue 1 table, there are concerns over the team's morale and cohesion.

PSG's form has dipped considerably this season, and they have faced significant setbacks, including an early exit from the French Cup and a precarious position in the Champions League, where they currently sit outside a qualification spot for the knockout phase after failing to secure victories in their last three matches. The pressure is mounting on Luis Enrique as the team aims to bounce back against Monaco, who are also formidable opponents in the domestic league.

The situation was further complicated by public criticisms from last year's Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, who expressed frustration with his teammates following the loss against Rennes. This highlights potential unrest within the squad and raises questions about the team's ability to regroup and perform under pressure in the upcoming match. With pivotal games approaching, PSG's resilience and unity will be put to the test in their pursuit of both domestic and European glory.
