With Neymar gone, the capital club handed over the No. 10 jersey to Ousmane Dembélé. It was the first step in beginning the post-Neymar era at PSG. Nonetheless, not seeing the Brazilian out there for the Ligue 1 giants will take some time to get used to.
Still, the French side won’t lack any firepower on attack as Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé will reportedly be in the starting 11 for PSG. So many will get a look at this new look offense against Toulouse to see whether they can replace the 2015 UEFA Champions League winner.
