Everybody have their reasons why they're supporting Kylian Mbappe, he has tried much more but it's time for the young star to become the best and win the Ballon d'Or. PSG valuable player, Mbappe coming to Real Madrid is winning the UEFA Champions League, no two way about it. PSG will missed him and this might lead to the poor stats of the club next season, perhaps Luis Enrique will definitely make new plans without the Frenchman in the picture. Kylian Mbappe wants what's best for him and Real Madrid is the best decision for him.

Rumors that have been swirling for years have finally come to fruition as Mbappe has officially confirmed that he will be playing for Real Madrid from next season. He mentioned it through his post on social media that my dream of playing for the club that I have dreamed of playing since childhood is about to come true and I will definitely be happy to wear the jersey of Real Madrid. Mbappe has already played the last match of his career in the jersey of PSG, now he is only waiting to enter the field for Real Madrid. That possibility is now over and PSG must be looking for another player to replace him. 
Kudos to Mbappe for playing in PSG's jersey for so long and welcome to his new destination.

Losing Mbappe will certainly not make PSG devastated because as a team they still have the opportunity to bring in other reliable players, but losing Mbappe will actually make their performance decline a little because it is difficult to get a complete player like Mbappe, currently of course Madrid is very benefited by getting Mbappe for free and obviously it should be a regret for PSG because they losing player with a price tag of almost 200 million euros at the moment, PSG is currently of course busy looking for a player who can indeed replace Mbappe role in their front line next season and seeing the limited strikers that are available, of course PSG will have to work hard and need time to get him.

PSG is the richest team in the world and maybe buying players at a high price will not be a problem for them if it suits their needs next season, but I think in addition to focusing on finding a replacement for Mbappe, of course PSG also has to think about the depth of the squad they have, including to add some new players who can indeed strengthen their midfield and also their defense next seasons.

Real Madrid when they get to the Quarter finals of the UCL, you can’t help but get scared of the team when you’re up against them. As they have been able to build a formidable team consisting of great talents. Now they have successfully added Kylian to the team which means more strength to the already firing attack and more worries for opposition defense as the attack is now filled with fast paced and skillful players. Man City seems to be the only club in Europe that will be able to gove Real Madrid some worry in the UCL and you can say that after they were able to win the UCL, they had much of a boost going forawrd.

 You can’t deny the fact that they also have a very strong squad that want to dominate you in game till they get their desired result. ⁠Leverkusen who will be featuring in the UCL next season are going to be one underdog team to watch out for and because of how crazy football can get, it’s pretty difficult to predict how the match will end. I think they can be able to give a good run in the UCL and they will sure be able to withstand the pressure of the competition.

 Well next season UCL will be really one fun one to watch especially with the induction of 4 more slots, Real Madrid new attacking force, Leverkusen after their invincible season and Man City still looking hungry for the UCL. I can’t wait to see how things turn up but one thing I’m sure of is a fascinating performance from Real Madrid team.

I think they shouldn't rush into the transfer. Mbappe is an important player, but his absence can be filled by a player somehow. Here, PSG observers and technical staff will have to work overtime to choose the best. Mbappe is gone, but the next name will have to look no further. A difficult period begins for PSG. They should select the best player and add them to the team and play better next year to lift the UCL cup, which is their main goal.

The point is, of course PSG will recruit new forward players but, it's not about replacing Mbbape. Because clearly, Mbappe is very special because of the skills he has and as such it will be difficult to find players with the same qualities as Mbappe. So yes, basically the search for new players will continue to be carried out, but this means that Enrique will naturally apply different strategies and tactics,  of course by adjusting the players available in the PSG squad next season. After all, basically PSG is a team that has good finances and therefore, it should be easy for PSG to bring in new players in the transfer window.

Not entirely sure if I agree with that and consider him the best finisher in the world, but I get the point. While nobody talks about it, I still think that Kane is the best "finisher". This doesn't mean Kane is a better player don't get me wrong, I just mean the skill of finishing, just goal scoring part, in other parts I can of course see why Mbappe is better, he just does many things very well.

However, I still think that PSG will not miss him at all, this dude was someone who is getting paid 60 to 80 million a year, I know I am saying something people said a million times, but you could just pay someone 20-30 million for 5 years, which would be 100-150 million, and pay a team 150 million to get him and it would be 300 million, for five seasons, cheaper than Mbappe.

I hope Enrique can get talented players who can strengthen the PSG squad, especially in the front line, I still miss the time when there was still Zlatan Ibrahimović at PSG. because in my opinion he is a very good striker, with PSG currently losing one of their quite good strikers they definitely have to look for a replacement even though it may not be comparable but what you said is true at least it can still fill the void in the PSG squad. with the loss of one of the players in their attack line and if PSG has not found a better replacement, I think PSG will experience a decline in performance, this is just a prediction but I hope PSG can perform better next season with the surprises that will be given.

Apart from that, if they succeed in getting new players, of course they need time to process adapting to each other to get to the best point in their performance. No matter how good the players they get to replace Mbappe, of course there will be an adaptation time process, it is unlikely that they will immediately be able to show their best with their new players.

Maybe they don't want to rush and decide which player they will target, because if they rush, they might make a mistake. Luis Enrique definitely wants the best for Paris Saint Germain, so he will be more selective in choosing the players who will be part of Paris Saint Germain next season.
Moreover, what they have to bring in is a player who must be able to replace the position left by Mbappe, which is certainly not easy. They also definitely want to talk more when they are in a bigger competition, therefore they prepare everything, including not being in a rush to determine the players they will bring in.

Kylian Mbappé is the best finisher in the world, which makes him an exceptional player. Clubs need such a striker to maximize goalscoring opportunities. For now, it would be difficult to find a replacement easily. It looks like the club will be going for some young, talented players who can be groomed to become a star in the club. It was reported that the club has changed its philosophy of relying on big, expensive players to get results. But I would have advised Luis Enrique to go for an experienced striker while he also gets some young players that will be groomed.

There were speculations that the PSG is targeting the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Napoli is ready to sell the Nigerian for €130m and the French side can be able to afford it. But Victor has shown his love for the Premier League and Chelsea have shown much interest. Napoli will be willing to let him go to any club that is willing to pay the amount so we might end up seeing the striker in PSG..

Enrique can definitely find a replacement for Mbappe as a striker at PSG next season, but we will probably see an announcement because there are still many young players who are quite productive and have the potential to become good players who can compete next season, although there may not be any players who have Mbappe's abilities. but at least it can fill the void in PSG's main squad, perhaps it will take more time for Mbappe's replacement to adapt to the existing players because players are needed who have good experience in adapting quickly to a team.

I haven't seen PSG's plans to buy players and look for a replacement for Mbappe in his position as striker but I think Enrique certainly wants to find the best one who at least has the potential to play the way he wants and the team, it's time for PSG to learn to let Mbappe move to Madrid and that's it. every decision he has taken to play with Madrid next season must be respected, I think PSG must immediately look for replacement players because the sooner the better to prepare this team well so that it can become a strong team like before.

Apart from PSG, of course, we can't expect much from other teams in ligue 1, so far the ligue 1 teams other than PSG is only competing to be able to get a place in the European competition next season, while for the championship competition, of course, it is difficult for us to see in ligue 1 considering the status of PSG which is the most dominant club in France,  While Lens can't do much in Ligue 1 there is certainly no reason for us to expect much if they play in the Champions League, Europe and the Conference next season, but even so this season Lens look completely helpless after they continue to lose a lot of points which has made them slowly drop in the standings.

Lens is not a team that does have a strong enough finance, so it is not surprising that their performance is unstable and often goes up and down in the league so far, Lens was previously only able to be in the top 10 without the ability to be able to enter the top 4, but surprisingly in the last two seasons they were able to compete for qualify European competitions even though it was just for a pass,  to be honest, trophy the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League are still too far away for Ligue 1 teams to achieve in recent seasons.

Diallo must have been very disappointed after the match. His team's efforts were in vain. Metz had to fight for 115 minutes with 10 people. They failed in relegation but gave hope for next year. I hope the players stay in the team. In this case, they may achieve success next year. Saint Etienne deserves great congratulations.

It seems that every year Lens experiences quite a significant decline, where last season they secured a place in the champions league and at the same time they had to go down to the European league, but in the end they returned home early. This season, Lens failed to get a place in these two competitions and they have to participate in the conference league next season.

I think their performance in Ligue One has a big influence on their performance in other competitions so they can't avoid this. Once they lose the thing that makes them good will continue to be the reason for their decline this season. I don't think there will be any changes that will make Lens return to what they were last season and I think they will remain the same as they are now.

Mbappe is just part of the PSG players who often do extraordinary things for the team, but everyone must also remember that Mbappe does not carry PSG alone so the contribution of other players and the PSG coach must also be seen because the team does not only consist of one person. So the achievements of other players at PSG should not be forgotten because Mbappe himself would not have been able to score more goals if there were no other players who passed to him, so praise simply and reasonably without having to exaggerate for just one player.

PSG's most important player was Mbappe and he scored regularly. Leaving such a player out of the squad will reflect on PSG's overall performance. Luis Enrique has tried to stabilize the team without Mbappe this season. Luis Enrique rested Mbappe for several matches and experimented with the team. But PSG are not strong enough without Mbappe. So Mbappe needs a worthy replacement for Luis Enrique. Osimhen or Vlahovic could be better choices as Mbappe's replacement. I think Luis Enrique will want to add one of these two players to the squad.

Most likely Enrique will try to find a replacement for Mbappe. Mbappe is a special player. And no one can fill the absence. Mbappe is a much improved player. He is physically and mentally very skilled, strong and he is a successful player. No other player can fill Mbappe's absence. Change is good at PSG. Even though Mbappe is not at PSG, he pushes his team to play well and do something new.

Metz was almost able to make this match decided by a penalty shootout, but with only 10 players it proved that there was a gap that made their game less balanced and Saint-Étienne finally broke the deadlock
Saint-Étienne only needed two seasons to return to Ligue One after the 2021-2022 season had to be relegated after failing in the relegation playoff through a penalty shootout, maybe it would be like a nightmare for Saint-Étienne if the match against Metz they also had to go through a penalty shootout, but they could be said to be lucky enough to be able to ensure themselves as winners without having to go through a penalty shootout, but whether Saint-Étienne can be like in the 2018-2019 season where they were able to occupy the top four positions is still a question because after that season this club actually had difficulty competing.

It is true that it is impossible for Enrique to randomly bring in players and be able to fill the space in the position left by Mbappe, but in reality Enrique stated that Mbappe is different player and it is difficult to find player who can truly resemble Mbappe.
He is player who is truly great in skill and contribution in every condition, Mbappe can do everything and this is why previously PSG retained Mbappe and many big teams were targeting him, apart from that Mbappe also has winning mentality and doesn't give up easily.
Another great thing about Mbappe is that he can hold the confidence of all PSG players that they are strong enough to win, this is the true spirit of PSG as long as Mbappe is still there.
There are several names such as Osimhen, Rafael Leao and also Marcus Rashford who are very close to buying PSG to fill the void left by Mbappe, but I doubt it will work even though it can be admitted that Serie A has been place where many great players have been created.

I still waiting for developments and seeing how Enrique works to resolve PSG situation of losing its spearhead, maybe he will really be able to get the players he hopes for but not in the near future.

Real Madrid focused on making good signings that would be beneficial for them. I've spot out the reasons why they're always consider the best team in the world, they don't settled for lesser results. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi believe he could use his gigantic offer to pressed down Mbappe in the club but there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Kylian Mbappe craves for this shocking big moves to join Real Madrid. He's quite aware that he's the best player in Paris Saint-Germain but it doesn't mean he should relent because winning is straight.
