PSG in the CWC final, and they are a cut above any of the other teams I've watched this year (and all of last season in the CL, bar Slot's Liverpool) .
A few of us on here, myself included, were slating Enrique when he was rumoured to be at the forefront of the running to be Chelsea coach before Poch got the job (and a few of us were very much for it - credit to Dan23, dihanio, dadubliner) .
Ed001, as one of Enrique's doubters, how do you feel about the way he's got this current (fairly young) PSG side playing? And do you think he could have done the same thing at Chelsea given the ownership similarly looking to a very young squad (and despite the chopping and changing of players we've engaged in)?
{Ed001's Note - I highly rate Enrique, I didn't think he could come back after losing his young daughter, but he has come back even stronger. He has gained in empathy and man management to a massive degree. Now I would put him right up there as arguably the best coach right now. I don't know how he has found the strength and desire, but he has and he deserves all the plaudits for PSG's current play.}

Enrique is without any doubt the worlds best manager and his football is a joy to watch. And to think we could of appointed him but went for that bonehead serial loser Pochetino instead! I think PSG have beaten Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and Villa this season along with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and plenty of others. Fair play to the chap after his devastating family loss.

Agreed Ed001. I think we'll probably get smashed on Sunday if I'm brutally honest. The goalkeeper is just too dodgy to keep the score down, and to my eyes we still always look quite fragile at the moment, whilst being fairly predictable in attack (no real transitions, no counters) . Pedro looked good in that last game, but PSG just have too much strength. Will be a good test of where we currently are anyway.

EdW, unfortunately you are probably right but hope springs eternal. Leaving aside the goalkeeper issue, our CBs are very pedestrian in moving the ball forward. It is certainly a big test especially for Maresca, we have to change the way we have played so far in this competition to to have any chance of keeping it close. Obviously, I will be watching the game but with trepidation.
