Paris Saint-Germain is the best team in the world, and there will be no one to contest it. Not even its most proud opponents. Looking back at the journey of Luis Enrique's men this season and last, the confessions of their victims are enough to summarize the exceptional firepower of the Parisian club. A few days ago, Declan Rice was the last to applaud, explaining why Arsenal had placed the bus in the final. « I'm sure many people would have liked us to play like Bayern Munich against them. But if we had done that, we would have given them exactly what they want. They would have massacred us. That's how they score five or six goals and crush their opponents. » Even Mikel Arteta acknowledged that his approach « was not the plan ». « It's Paris Saint-Germain who forces you to play like that ». ## Bayern also applauds Less inclined to admit defeat, the most experienced players of Bayern Munich have also made their peace, like Manuel Neuer, who praised the « killer spirit » of the Parisians. Or Joshua Kimmich, who explained last autumn that he had never made « a half-time as intense as (his) career ». In the ranks of Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister was also impressed. « It's the best team in the world. They fly. They have everything: they are very disciplined, they play well, they run all. For me, they are the best », exclaimed the Argentine international in the podcast of his compatriot Sergio Agüero. But the most striking statement will remain that of Kasper Hjulmand, the coach of Bayer Leverkusen, who was beaten 7-2 by the Parisians in the league phase. « We feel a lot of pain. We are hurt… ».
