Barcola’s exit is already affecting PSG’s attack
L’Équipe says Bradley Barcola’s move to Liverpool is already hitting PSG’s attacking depth in the early part of the season.
The departure of Bradley Barcola to Liverpool, as L’Équipe reports, is already being felt at PSG: at this stage of the season, the team’s attacking play lacks the depth it used to have.
PSG’s rocky starts
The paper links the PSG’s uneven beginnings to the reality that, even with Luis Enrique, the reasons have usually been multifactorial. In other words, the 2026-2027 campaign is not an exception—there are multiple drivers behind the slow start, not just one.
With Barcola gone, PSG lose a forward who helped provide penetration from wide areas and more ways to unsettle opponents. When the squad is still settling into its rhythm, that kind of absence shows more quickly.
Luis Enrique’s response
L’Équipe believes Luis Enrique will be able to adjust and find a workaround so PSG regain their edge once things click. For now, the key takeaway is that Barcola’s exit isn’t only a future planning issue—it’s already influencing the team’s options and intensity right now.
