Juan Pablo Sorin, 49, the former Argentinian left-back who played for Paris Saint-Germain, praised the Parisian club’s performance in their two-legged tie in an interview with Foot National. The former PSG player particularly emphasized the team’s mentality, collective ambition, and European credibility.
Sorin: “I really appreciated the way PSG approached this two-legged tie.”
“What are your takeaways from this accomplished performance?”
“I really appreciated the way PSG approached this two-legged tie. It shows that there are some great players in this squad. The mindset and ambition of this team, which refuses to give its opponent any breathing room, are impressive. The fans at Stamford Bridge made a tremendous amount of noise. Everyone is pulling in the same direction; it’s important to be a ‘family.'”
Sorin: “Paris Saint-Germain is a contender for the title.”
There were doubts about PSG’s ability to have a successful Champions League run after a truncated preseason. Have those doubts now been dispelled?
“Paris Saint-Germain is a contender for the title. The Champions League is a difficult and demanding competition. The pressure will be significant in both matches. Last summer, under Luis Campos, the club achieved…” A smart transfer window. The management is also giving opportunities to academy graduates like Mayulu, who scored a magnificent goal.
Sorin: “The team will always give its all and constantly strives to improve.”
As a former PSG player, you must be extremely proud to see this team shining like this?
With Luis Enrique, we know that PSG will never betray its values. The team will always give its all and constantly strives to improve. The players run for each other. And why not win a second Champions League title next May?”
For Juan Pablo Sorin, this praise is far from a polite compliment offered from afar. The former Parisian speaks with the affection of someone who has always viewed this club with respect, and that’s precisely what gives weight to his analysis. By praising the way PSG handled this two-legged tie, he’s not just celebrating a qualification or a standout performance: he’s highlighting a collective identity. Intensity, ambition, solidarity, a refusal to be passive, and unwavering commitment—everything Paris has shown points to a team confident in its strength yet still looking to the future.
In Sorin’s eyes, PSG impresses not only with its talent but also, and perhaps more importantly, with its cohesion and collective dedication. This kind of praise carries even more weight coming from a former player who knows the club from the inside. When Sorin speaks so highly of PSG, the compliment feels less like a perfunctory remark and more like genuine endorsement.
