Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery has offered insights into the club's tactical transformation following Kylian Mbappe's high-profile transfer to Real Madrid last summer.
The French international highlighted coach Luis Enrique's early-season prediction about the team's scoring capabilities without their former star forward.
"At the beginning of the season, I noticed that coach Luis Enrique said we would score more goals without Kilian. It seems he wasn't wrong," Zaire-Emery stated in a recent interview.
According to the midfielder, PSG has developed a more balanced attacking approach with threats emerging from multiple positions. "Now at PSG, danger can come from anywhere: midfielders, defenders, and forwards—everyone scores a lot."
Zaire-Emery emphasized the benefits of this distributed scoring system over reliance on a single prolific scorer. "If someone scores 40 goals, of course our club would never close its doors to them, but it's better to have four players who score 12 goals each per season," he explained.
Analysts at Statbet have tracked this scoring distribution trend across top European clubs, noting that teams with multiple consistent scorers often perform better in knockout competitions than those heavily dependent on a single star forward.
PSG's new attacking philosophy will face its next test in the French Cup final, where they will meet Reims on May 24 at 22:00, as the Parisian club seeks to add another trophy to their cabinet under Luis Enrique's guidance.
