The Paris Saint-Germain dressing room has been described as a happier place since stars such as Lionel Messi and Neymar left the club.

The Argentine left the French giants as a free agent last year, joining Inter Miami in the MLS, while Neymar joined Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League.
Italian midfielder Marco Verratti also bid farewell to the Ligue 1 champions, as did Sergio Ramos, leaving Kylian Mbappe as the team's last remaining superstar.
Prior to this campaign, which is Luis Enrique's first in France, it was believed the PSG dressing room was split into different groups that did not allow for a harmonious feel on the pitch.
French football expert Julian Laurens has said that while Mbappe is still set to depart Les Parisiens, the changing room is a better place to be in since Messi and other high-profile figures moved on.
"This is clearly the last season before there's a big change, in the sense that Mbappe will leave after seven years," he told TNT Sports.
"There's also the timing; all of that happening at a moment where there's fewer issues, let's put it that way, in the dressing room and less egos.
"So, no more Messi, no more Neymar, no more Verratti, who were the ones, as good as they were on, off the pitch, were a bit like the Dons of the dressing room, if you will.
"I mean, Messi didn't care that much, but still, it was Messi, and now in the dressing room, you've got people who just get on with everyone, who tell jokes to everybody in different languages, whereas before you had clans, and it doesn't seem that there are [any] clans anymore.
"Kylian could have been a disruptive presence in a way sometimes, last season, but even he wants to enjoy it. So even his ego seems to be a bit calmer than it would be in a normal situation considering he's the best player in the world.
"So I think all of that put together makes it why this is much more of a team than really we've ever seen since the Qataris arrived."
