Cesc Fabregas admitted he tries to forget Como vs. PSG, joking that thinking about the January match would keep him awake because "they're very, very good."

Two-time defending European champions PSG once again sent a strong signal to their European rivals by crushing Villarreal 6-0 on Tuesday night.

Former Marseille player Pape Gueye didn't sleep that night, while Cesc Fabregas doesn't want to think too much about Como vs. PSG in late January for fear of not sleeping.

Beyond conquering the international press, PSG impresses opponents and even terrifies them. One recalls the statements from Denzel Dumfries and Lautaro Martinez a few weeks after their heavy 5-0 defeat to PSG in the 2025 Champions League final.

"I didn't speak for five, six days," the Argentine Inter captain acknowledged three weeks after crossing paths with PSG in Munich.

The former Marseille player, who started in Villarreal's midfield on Tuesday night, no longer knew where to turn on the field: "It wasn't just the midfielders moving all over the place. It's really a collective. There were moments when Hakimi was next to me; there was young Mayulu. So in terms of movement, they really knew how to move."
