when a team that relies too often on one star player or several star players will usually experience a very deep decline in performance and a team like this will not be able to be successful in the future even though many people say that without Mbappe, PSG can still get the league title 1 but the problem is that PSG also needs the UCL title and it will not be possible to achieve it if it continues to depend on star players.
I fully support your opinion and everything you say is true if PSG doesn't try to recruit young players to try to develop new talents in the end it will continue to depend on star players in the future and bad things will happen when there are no more star players available. If you want to join PSG, you will definitely be shifted by another team and PSG dominance will be destroyed by another team.

I just think that if PSG goal is to bring in star players to increase the popularity of League 1, it seems that now League 1 has become very big and PSG is even known by most football fans and now is the time for PSG to try to appear with young players with new talents which PSG will build itself to get satisfactory results in the long term.

Maybe he will first look for new talent to fill the position left by Mbappe and I hope he will bring in young players. It cannot be denied that Mbappe's role is very important in Paris Saint Germain's game, he is a player who can be relied on in the squad.
But on the other hand, that is precisely what is a problem for them, when they always rely on Mbappe then maybe they will not be too confident when their position is filled by another player, or in other words there is a dependency that they experience.
There is still plenty of time for them to look for players they can bring in to defend them next season, I hope the coach can bring in the really right players who can replace Mbappe's role well.

Everything running low and this is really out of the picture. We've come to realized that Kylian Mbappe was the most valuable player in Paris Saint Germain and also in the general Ligue One. He's unstoppable and on fire each time he's with the ball. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique will not depend on Kylian Mbappe because there's quite more to deal with and winning become straight and easy going. Who's Kylian Mbappe replacement? Perhaps none for now and his absence will really affects the club's performance and stats next season.

In the second leg anything can still happen, because if you look at what happened in the first leg they both played well but Saint-Etienne won the final result with a score of 2-1, in the second leg it will be played at home for Metz, very profitable for Metz because of the 6 meetings at home, Metz has never lost to Saint-Etienne, so the good results achieved by Metz at home are enough to make them entertained by this good thing.

But I think this match will be very fierce in aiming for goals to take the team to the French League 1, and this will be a tough match for both teams even though if you look at Metz, they have more chances because they are playing at home, but Saint-Etienne will also give the best to the fans, in my opinion this match should be a penalty shootout to determine who will go to the French League 1.

Luis Enrique did not just choose a player to replace Mbappe, he will try to bring in a top player who can be relied on and has sharpness in scoring goals. PSG is not experiencing financial difficulties because this club has abundant funds to recruit players. Several names have been included in PSG shopping list in the transfer market. Currently, Osimhen name is at the forefront of what PSG is pursuing. Rashford was also rumored to be a target for PSG because he was thought to be able to blend in with the tactics used by Enrique. PSG must succeed in formalizing several new signings to strengthen the team next season, the Champions League is still their main target, but if there is no improvement in the squad, it will be very difficult for PSG to win the trophy.

Well, this is what is really interesting about Enrique, he realizes that next season Mbappe will no longer be able to strengthen PSG, so in several matches this season Enrique tried several strategies and line-ups to start preparations to face conditions next season without Mbappe presence.
In fact, several times Enrique withdrew Mbappe from the match or replaced Mbappe with another player, this is indeed good way to prepare everything because so far all PSG players have only relied on Mbappe to achieve every victory.
But it cannot be denied that Mbappe is reliable goal machine for PSG and several times Mbappe was the savior for PSG victory thanks to the goals he created, I want to see whether next season Enrique will be successful with his performance as he starts to lead PSG without Mbappe.

It is very likely that Enrique will try to find replacement for Mbappe, but there is no certainty who will really be worthy to replace Mbappe in the PSG squad considering that they are team that has great players who really retain them.
If Enrique doesn't immediately look for player who can replace Mbappe, I also doubt that PSG will be able to play well, especially in an important competition like the UCL.

Saint Etienne finally can able to utilized their home matches with very well because yesterday they can overcomes Metz with narrow scores 2-1 and since the beginning of match Saint-Etienne take the initiative to play more attacking even Saint-Etienne can leading the game at 19 minutes of first half by Sissoko goal but Metz can able to equalized the scores and for second half Saint Etienne still slightly dominate the match and attempt to broke the defense of Metz and the result is Irvin Cardona can scored at 80 minutes and bringing Saint-Etienne to gets the winning result from this match

This result is makes Saint-Etienne can able to resumes their positive results however i know Saint-Etienne position is still not fully secured especially for second leg later they will playing at Metz home ground but at least after this result Saint-Etienne position is more comfortable than Metz and for next match Saint-Etienne only required to playing draw and considering Saint-Etienne condition which more better than Metz then i am confident for second leg later Saint-Etienne at least can playing draw and they can eliminate Metz and return to Ligue 1

Especially now that they will no longer be having mbappe with them, I think they wouldn't be able to really have their attack solid enough even if they will say mbappe wasn't a full attacker, but his influence in the front line and the team generally was enough to keep their opponent on their toes a few times, PSG will have to get a good replacement who will have to be considered as good as mbappe .

Madrid Is invariably saying they aren't willing to sell of this player and if you need him that bad then Abe ready to spend that huge to be able to get him to your team which they know PSG may not be willing to spend such at this time even with their wealth which we are very much aware have been one of their advantage over others in the whole of the Ligue 1 in most of the season as they were able to buy multiple players even at huge price just to be able to build that solid and formidable team but till this moment it still feels like they have not been able  get it really right.

If PSG wants their team to be formidable enough beyond just the Ligue 1 so they can be able to bring home the champions league trophy some day, then they will need to get a better scout who will help them get good replacement for.the attack a d aswell get to strengthen the forward and attack strike well enough but then  this will have to be done if possibly looking around to seeing young  talents they can develop, more like a long term project that they will get to develop over the years and be able to make such a player part of the team while he gets developed.

Mbappes replacement is one that PSG is really going to find difficult because they may not get to easily find a player that matches that his quality and be able to get the team the kind of results mbappe do deliver to them.and even if he does, it may cost them a whole lot even Id they look like they are really capable but it's still going to cost them much.to be able to get a player of such quality into their team this season.

Luis Enrique is a very experienced manager and that's why he's been able to achieve so many great things in football and I strongly believe he'll achieve more at Paris Saint Germaine. In the last six seasons, Kylian Mbappe have been Paris Saint Germaine's biggest player as he's finished as the top scorer in the French league in that same period. For Paris Saint Germaine to continue to dominate the French league after Kylian Mbappe leaves the club will be very difficult for them if you ask me but under the tutelage of Luis Enrique, I think they'll definitely survive it.
After it was confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will be leaving the club at the end of the season, Luis Enrique minimized his playing time so that the club players will get used to playing as a team without the France national team captain. Now that he's finally left the club, Paris Saint Germaine in my opinion have players who are very capable to help the club continue to dominate the French league or better still win the UEFA Champions League title which has been the club's dream trophy.

one of Enrique most prominent advantages is that he is very neat in managing PSG players and always testing how PSG will perform without Mbappe with the aim of seeing how and what needs to be strengthened after Mbappe leaves and I am sure that Enrique arrival will give great confidence from PSG owner to retain the coach.
not only that is Enrique advantage but he can also provide something big when PSG can appear in the UCL with a very extraordinary performance and can reach the semi finals even though they failed, but the owner of PSG is very confident that if this team is managed by Enrique, it will definitely become a team which will be very strong later.

but there were some doubts in my mind when Enrique tried to test PSG without Mbappe several times, it was very clear that PSG did not get satisfactory results and I am sure Enrique is aware of this and I doubt that in Mbappe current position if there will be no new players in the future can replace Mbappe, of course in every League 1 or UCL match, PSG performance will be a little unstable and difficult to predict.

I do agree that it's quite a good replacement, not sure if the fit would be perfect because sometimes even if a player is great, they do not fit well into a team and have trouble, but if the fit is good then I do not think that they would get worse one bit at all. That is not to mean that he is as good as mbappe, it just means that mbappe had a limit with PSG, he will do better with Real Madrid I am sure, but that limit meant that he is not going to be able to do better than what PSG gives him.

Whereas we are going to see Kvaratskhelia end up being about as equally close to that limit as well, maybe a little less goals, but at the end of the day he would still be there. Plus they would spread the goals around, meaning PSG as a whole will score that many anyway, but with multiple ones instead of just one player.

There will still be a hot topic of discussion regarding who will replace Mbappe later and what is clear is that PSG will immediately try to get their target player. Kvaratskhelia is considered very suitable for PSG's left winger position and of course Napoli will charge quite an expensive fee. On the other hand, this will be a difficult negotiation process.

Rodrygo will probably always want to play as a left winger and he can make that happen at PSG but I doubt he will consider PSG's offer if it ever comes along. Rodrygo is still very comfortable at Real Madrid and he always has the main position in Ancelotti's hands. So I don't think he will go to PSG.

St Etienne actually deserved to win this first leg in my opinion. They have performed really well in this match. They have also created a lot of chances. Certainly a lot more compared to their opponent. Now it is going to be hard for Metz to actually overcome this deficit. Even though it is just a one goal deficit.

I almost forgot this is the relegation playoffs. So anything can actually happen in this match. Because these teams are generally very unpredictable. But it is definitely going to be an achievement for the team which will be able to stay in the Ligue 1

psg under luis enrique might be the best team this season. PSG once assembled the best stars in the world in their club but still their team was not the best because then their team was weak in every position except the attacking line. After Luis Enrique took charge of the team, he made a number of changes to the team's tactics along with performances, which led to Parisian fans starting to see a new face with this team next season. Although they are going to lose Mbappe, their club's biggest star this season, they are not too disappointed to lose Mbappe because if Mbappe leaves, they will be able to sign some more players in the transfer window. We can only expect this team to perform well in the upcoming season and live up to their expectations.

Inevitably, of course, PSG must move forward after losing Mbappe at this time, from the beginning, Mbappe had a very big role in helping PSG win every game they played and so far we know that Mbappe is a mainstay player who is indeed able to make every difference in the final result of PSG matches, admit it or not, of course PSG will be weak without Mbappe and we can see in some of PSG previous matches which actually gets negative results when Mbappe is absent, indeed football is a team sport but it has been clear that if PSG is too dependent on Mbappe, PSG will certainly remain strong if indeed next season they can get new players who are indeed able to replace Mbappe role so far.

Mbappe this season has officially left PSG, although it has been reported that Madrid has been the leading team to get Mbappe, but still we don't know for sure where Mbappe is going next season, I don't know what agreement you mean, if indeed what you mean is Mbappe deal with another club, of course it will most likely happen soon but with the agreement of course PSG will not get money because indeed Mbappe left This season on a free transfer.

PSG will be fine with or without Kylian Mbappe, the management of PSG itself already know this more than you do and I guess they have plans on ground to take care of Mbappe's departure from the club, and besides they're going to make some money from the deal and which I they have some players on mind they will be going for after that deal is completed,  They only need to get two or three quality players to step the team Mbappe departure from the club and with time the get stronger.

The stars are at PSG, everyone knows. But Champions League? Not a beauty contest. You need grit and teamwork. Their current lineup is solo artists.

Luis Enrique? Smart man. They need his disruption. Now Kvaratskhelia plays. This kid is hungry and firey. He may change a game or season. We'll see Rodrygo. Although good, he's Real Madrid's golden boy. They wont let him leave easily, especially with Manchester City sniffing around.

Simply put, PSG needs more than spectacular signings. They need strategy. They need teammates who battle for each other. Thats how major wins come. Its how dynasties are built.

I also think like that because now is the moment to target new, younger players with proven achievements in big teams like Real Madrid. Because a player like Rodrygo is a player who is suitable for top teams like PSG and Manchester City to target. But it is true as you said that PSG must move faster to get a player like that before things become more complicated for him because other teams are also eyeing young players like Rodrygo and also other players needed for certain lines.

PSG winning against Lyon was probably the least unexpected thing that happened. I wonder how they are going to get ready for the next season!! Because you know that there is almost 100% chance that Mbappé is going to leave PSG, right? They will definitely somehow have to manage without him. rumor saying, there is a chance that they are looking for Osimhen. But the problem is that guy is very interested in going to Chelsea. At least that's how it seems. Currently, it feels like they are actually going to make Kolo Muani the main striker of PSG. I hope they do not do that. If they want to sustain they will have to bring in someone better. If they are actually thinking about making Kolo Muani the main striker, they are not going to go very far with that plan. because he is just simply not good enough.

A narrow win over Metz in the first leg certainly cannot guarantee Etienne closer to promotion to Ligue 1 this season, I think Etienne must try harder to be able to get at least a draw in the second leg, because after all of course Metz will try to turn things around in the second leg, I personally hope the 2-1 victory over Metz does not make them satisfied,  Because indeed Etienne's journey to be promoted next season is still too long, besides that Metz who lost in the first leg will of course try to give all their abilities in the second leg later, especially in the second leg, Metz will play at home and of course they will get full support from the supporters.

The first leg has finished with Etienne winning and now they are just one step away from continuing their journey in trying to return to the top flight of French football, the second leg will certainly be a decisive match and it is only right for Etienne to be wary of a possible Metz revival on Sunday.
Honestly, next season I would like to see Etienne back playing in Ligue 1 after a long time in league 2.
