No, their midfield is not better from top to bottom. It's better at some things, sure, but our midfield can also do things creatively that PSG's midfield can't do.
Name 2 things our Midfield can do that theirs can't?

The difference between the midfields are the fullbacks- mainly Hakimi.
Give us their fullbacks- mainly Hakimi, and we can have the same amount of pressing and 5 metre passing specials.
Their front 3 also all drop back and act as midfielders here and there. We can't do that with Lewy.
Viral post, ppl starting to turn on flick?
All of that while it would help, wouldn't change the fact that two of our Midfielders don't feel comfortable in all positions in Midfield.
Thinking it's all about quick one twos, that leads to the midfield rotation is why people think our current Midfield 3 could perhaps do the same thing.
It's over simplifying the issue and not seeing that each person can hold whatever position they take up for a good 5 minutes if needs be
Does anyone want to see olmo at DM for 5 straight minutes, or de Jong being the one to finish off multiple chances or create the final pass for 5 straight minutes, gavi as more assist and goals than him this season for Christ sake.
Those two can't do it, especially olmo, but neither.
Nah, I think your building a narrative that isn't there.
We will see both teams next year chief.
PSG will be looking to build a CL dynasty under LE now. While we need to prove that the Inter result was a freak anomaly that we have overcome.
PS if PSG doesn't manage to build a CL dynasty what does that prove BTW? Only a hand full of teams have ever done that in CL history.
SF last season, Final this season, if they even get to the QF next season, it's a pretty significant achievement, when you look at it in context.
I never build narratives, only facts.
If anyone was trying to build a narrative it's you, while I told you it's Pace and technique, you tried to make them them out to he some pace machine.
I think we all now know how that went.
Or trying to take your little pot shots at them this season. (Bit of an expert at pot shots)
We don't need to wait, I've already been proven right, porque my friendly poster.
De Jong and olmo, lack the skillset to do what the PSG Midfield can do.
Anyone who disagrees answer this question.
The opposition in on a break and we have olmo sitting in the DM position, do you feel
A. Confident he will handle the situation
b. Worried.
We are attacking and need a defensive splitting pass or a goal, de jong as the ball or it lands at his feet, do you feel
A. Worried
B. Confident.
Now ask anyone who who watches PSG, how they would feel if any of their 3 midfield were caught in any position in Midfield.
The answer to those 3 questions, tells us what we need to know.
