Interesting comment, what makes you say that? I disagree, as I don't think they'll win whoever is leading the line for the next 2-3 years.

As long as Barca,Bayern and Real Madrid are here, PSG can only dream of winning CL.. With or without Ibra..

For some reason I'm confident Bayern, Barca, and Real won't be the only clubs winning UCL's in the future.

Barca still has most of their golden generation (Pique,Messi,Iniesta) and they also have Neymar and Suarez. Bayern is a freaking machine who have the best defenders in the world (Neuer best GK,Boateng one of the best CB, Alaba and Lahm both the best or top 2/3 in their positions). Real is making quarters/semis more than any other club and they are a wildcard who have probably the best MF in the world(Kroos,Modrić,Isco,James,Kovačić etc).¸
EPL teams are nowhere as strong as the top 3 are now.
PSG has a great squad but they don't have the appeal to attract the biggest names. You have the UCL and big match flop Ibrahimović.
I think Juventus have a bigger shot than PSG or any of the EPL teams,same with Atletico.

Because Zlatan is pretty much ineffectual at the late stages of the Champions League.

Paris has no trouble signing top players. Barca, Real, and Bayern won't be the only clubs winning UCL's.

Agreed with you on the second sentence definitely. The first one, not so much. There is only enough that money can buy. It is the French league after all. Unless one totally bends over for money like some of those players who came here to China, the best players will not want to go join PSG on sporting reasons.

Top players: Ibra, Thiago Silva, Di Maria, David Luiz, Thiago Motta, Matuidi, Cavani, Pastore
Top young players: Verratti, Aurier, Marquinhos, Lucas, Kurzawa
All of these players were either in high demand, established stars, or were recognized as top prospects yet chose to sign with Paris. If Lavezzi's sending off was any indication, they're all well integrated into the club. Which indicates a few things; PSG is well managed, they have pull beyond their economic strength, and Ligue 1 isn't as shite as spectators assume.

How many of those top players joined PSG at their prime? A few only. That indicates that the most of the best talents will still prefer the top La liga, Epl clubs and Bayern ahead of PSG. Certainly there will be French talents who are more attracted to PSG, that is natural.
How many of those players would reject the top clubs if they had been offered a contract from those clubs? Not many. Until that day comes when everything else (money for the most part) being equal and players prefer PSG over other clubs, PSG and other clubs of lesser status compared to the elite clubs in Europe will have to throw money at them to get some of the best players to join.

Uh... All of them were in their primes. The evidence doesn't support your conclusions, especially in regard to the EPL.
Nearly all of the established players and most of the prospects were offered contracts from other clubs. See Di Maria & Lucas.
You've apparently missed the last few years. That day is already here.

And its sure PSG won't win it either.. Ibra will leave soon, since he is 34 now?

Yes i am pretty sure you said the same when Chelsea won.
Champions League is about experience, tactical quality and chance. If you have this three things and for sure a great team like top clubs, you can win the trophy. This year, next year, in 3 years, or 5, 10... But you will win one day.
