Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry believes Paris Saint-Germain are a more balanced team without Kylian Mbappe but admits they have lost some of their “magic” following the Frenchman’s departure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PSG’s 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League highlighted their struggles to convert dominating possession into victories.<\/p>\n

Despite having 26 shots on goal, including 18 in the second half, they were unable to secure a win, leaving them with work to do to qualify for the Round of 16 automatically.<\/p>\n

Henry, speaking on CBS Sports Golazo<\/em>, praised PSG’s improved stability but acknowledged the void left by Mbappe. “They are a bit more stable, less counters,” he said. “But they still lost Mbappe<\/a>. It’s very difficult.<\/p>\n

“For example, in a game like that, Kylian can turn it into a 2-1 or a winning goal towards the end, a moment of magic. He can turn it around. You lost a bit of magic, but the team looks a bit more sound in terms of balance. But obviously the result is not good enough.”<\/p>\n
