Paris St Germain are not having the kind of season they must have planned for after being eliminated in the UEFA Champions League and has also  been getting bad results lately but I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop them from winning the French Ligue 1. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi are big players that wouldn't whose future with the French club are uncertain and I don't think they'll want to leave without a the title at the of the season.
psg is still a strong candidate to become the Ligue 1 champion. nothing can stop them even though lately they have not been able to win in the last 2 matches. psg and lens are 6 points adrift with the remaining matches this season are 9 more matches that they can maximize to play consistently in the upcoming matches.

Lens will find it difficult to provide tough resistance for PSG because the squad depth of these two teams is quite different so that in the upcoming match when Lens faces PSG I think this is the match that will determine their destiny to be who is the best.

Paris Saint Germain's tactical unbalance this season is as a result of the mentality and work rate of their manager and that's where they were dumbed out of Europe by Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Christophe Galtier isn't the best man for the PSG job and he must accept it and leave the club at the end of the season. The club owners has hugely invested in this club and they need to start winning trophies both domestic and European honours and if they must achieve that, then they have to get a new Coach
Galtier is indeed the only person who should be held responsible for the poor results achieved by PSG this season either in the champions league or ligue 1. As a coach he seems to have no mental motivation for his players and as we know Galtier seems resigned to the results achieved get PSG in every game. It's time for him to be fired by the club because this will have a very bad impact if he continues to let Galtier stay at PSG.
But indeed, things like this might still not be taken seriously by PSG officials, even though for most fans, of course, 2 consecutive defeats would seem bad for Galtier.
But with conditions like this, it would be better for PSG to find a new coach from now on so that when the new season starts they are ready with a new coach because forcing Galtier I think it's not very wise.

PSG are just doing their best to throw the Ligue 1 title but I really agree that there isn't any team that go head-to-head with them until the end of the season. Actually this is like a golden opportunity for some other team to try their luck with the league title. Marseille and Lens both deserve to go for this run taking their general peformances into account so far in my opinion.

Lens are a pretty surprising team of the season though. Most of us expected them to be out of any race after a point. But now they aren't only in a rivalry for the second position. They are 6 points away from the leader as well. There isn't much time left for the end of the season too so this effort really deserves to be appreciated a lot.
Lens has been in Ligue 1 since two seasons where they finished it in the seventh place and right now they are second and only six points behind PSG in the first place!
Lens will face Strasbourg which are struggling to get out of the relegation zone. PSG mission will not be easy vs Nice. A possible three points gap scenario might take place tomorrow, unless PSG will wake up this time..
With Lens current condition and by looking at the opponent's condition in Strasbourg which is still quite unfavorable, it is clear that 3 points are still very possible for them, especially when they will be playing at home.
This condition still allows to close the gap but on the other hand PSG is now a concern of course, with a lot of star players they have faced and 2 not-so-good results in the last 2 matches are a little worse than expected.

PSG had a good start after they bought famous players for their team and many people thought they are going to win the champions league and then they are going to win the French League easily by a huge difference from other teams but due to bad and unbalanced team and a not having a good coach this teams field in this season and I think they should be ready got many players to leave this team soon.
Neymar's absence, especially in the last 2 matches they did, is quite felt at this time. Even though they are still very comfortable with their position because they still have a 6-point gap from Lens who are in second place but of course in this case it is really bad for a star-studded club and the last 2 defeats have made it even more impressive that they still won't be able to Champions League even Ligue 1 is definitely obtained.

I don't think anyone doubts PSG's title this season in Ligue 1, they are really focused on getting it even though in the last few match they have had to drop points. At least Ligue 1 is the only title still available to PSG after failing in the Copa France and the Champions League, so it looks very close for them.

Lens is not a very threatening team even though currently the two teams are only 6 points apart. I think PSG will be able to overcome their problems in time and they will find their best form again after the recent two bad defeats.
PSG have loss or eliminated from UEFA Champion League and French Cup, left Ligue 1 as their opportunity getting tittle this season and I don't think want to close this season without any trophy yet. Current standing still have remaining 6 points from Lens sure PSG have chance with Ligue 1 tittle in this season indeed with inconsistent performance after 3 loss of 3 games in a row.

Up coming two weeks later against with Lens and chance for PSG cut off points difference on standings beside still have Marseille with 6 points remaining right now. Most embarrassing with star players squad and have higher transfer market values than other Ligue 1 team if PSG failed in Ligue 1 this season and actually not guarantee with Christophe Galtier keep exist as PSG manager for next season.
PSG have had pretty hard times this season. I would say I haven't seen the French league this tough. Even in other seasons when PSG dominates the league with provoking points without a good second,  they weren't high-class players like the likes of Messi, Neymar or Mbappe. This simply means that if Frencj league has been this tough in seas on past,  PSG will not attain the height of being called French league champions. I am not too certain about them winning this tittle,  not if they continue like this.

I'm just seeing Marseille as the only team that might be able to catch up with PSG in the time left for the end of the season. But I can't believe in even them now. Because they have also started to be a little consistent recently. They lost two points in two matches that they could have won both normally. It didn't seem like they were really eager to win the Ligue 1 title this season.

Honestly PSG are a really big mess indeed this season. They have made numerous mistakes in their league matches as well. But there is still no team to punish them for it. Galtier must be feeling the pressure over himself on one hand. Because PSG are out of the Champions League quite early and they can't even secure the Ligue 1 title easily. It doesn't feel like Galtier will be permanent here.

Sadly, It's not just Marseille but even Lens can have the chance to reach PSG soon if they continue this weak performance during this season because honestly I wan not exporting to see PSG getting this close to other teams in the French league even after buying these superstar players, surely the fans of PSG are unhappy because the results during this season.
Marseille and Lens are strong candidates to shift PSG's position this season, it can be seen that even though Marseille was originally so close to PSG, now Lens is starting to catch up with him. I think PSG will still be deadlocked to get a win, especially this week against Nice. Even being able to win against Nice means a lot to PSG, even if the two teams draw or PSG lose again, then the distance from the two teams will be even shorter in the standings.

Balance in a team is the main thing, actually you don't have to have star players to create a team like that, as long as they can understand each other and can carry out what the coach instructs properly. They actually have enough capital to create a dream team like that, it's just that now I think they still chose the wrong step by only relying on star players.
If you only rely on star players, of course this is the wrong strategy because the star players at PSG such as Messi, Mbabpe and Neymar are players who are in the striker position. So PSG needs to look at other players to secure the center and back positions to make the team stronger, because strikers also can't do much if the midfield and back lines are destroyed and the team doesn't develop as desired.
Yes, actually in their defense there are also well-known players, but I don't know what's wrong with the way they are managed so that until now they have not been able to find a very good form. I agree that a good relationship between the players will create good chemistry for a game. I'm starting to wonder if their coach isn't aware of this, I wouldn't say their current coach is bad, it's just that he still can't maximize what he has in the line-up like Paris Saint Germain has. I'm sure if they had a coach who could understand these things they would be a scary club in Europe.



Strasbourg is a team at the bottom of the points table but their performances in recent times have surprised everyone. The performance of the team has improved. And now they are playing well in almost every match. Even though they lost against Monaco in the last match, they managed to score three goals in this match. Unfortunately, they lost the match against Monaco.

The lens is a very strong team. And they are now fighting for the title. With PSG not in good form, Lens will now try their best to go to the top of the table. The Strasbourg team cannot be said to be weak as an opponent. Lens players can't make any mistakes and they can't beat the Strasbourg team. The lens will try to dominate this match from the start. If they play an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match, they might be able to defeat the Strasbourg team.
To be fair they are not "that" great. They are doing fine and all but they are also losing a bit as well and I feel like that is not really showing of any improvement, sure when you are so bad that having one or two wins in 5-6 games becomes "improvement" then yeah they do have an improvement, but it is not like schalke at bundesliga for example, they got more points in the last 5 games than their entire first half type of improvement, that is the type strassbourg needs in order to make sure they do not relegate.

People who say ligue 1 is easy only look at PSG and how much better they look compared to others, but low down here, teams do have a great battle not to relegate, that's also good to watch.
I agree with you that Ligue 1 is easy if we only look at Paris Saint Germain, I think the league would be more competitive if Paris Saint Germain weren't here. Not that I mean, if Paris Saint Germain is on the same level as other clubs. If you look at the struggle for position under Paris Saint Germain, of course it is tough competition. I hope there are other clubs that can make themselves at the same level as Paris Saint Germain, so that the competition is more interesting to watch.

It is unlikely that Zidane will agree to lead a team (even if we do not take into account the fact that he has Marseille roots and is "historically" an enemy of PSG) where he will not have full power. As long as the team has such anchors as Neymar and Messi, a normal coach will not go there (only for space money or for other unsportsmanlike reasons). In general, PSG is largely a political project, and given that politics is dirt, not everyone agrees to get dirty.
Last season PSG after being eliminated from the Champions League in Ligue 1 really improved their performance - I remember they had a lot of big wins, it seems that this season they don't have the moral strength to force themselves to finish the season normally.

Well said. I don't think someone like Messi is a problem for Zidane. He also coached Ronaldo who is very similar. Space money might be one point, but I think you got it right when you said "not everyone agrees to get dirty". That hits the nail on the head in my opinion. Some people said he might go to Juventus Turin, but no way. Not as long as there is trouble going on and they don't have a team that can win the Champions League. There aren't many places for him to go when you won the Champions League with Real Madrid three years in a row. Deschamps extended his contract until 2026, Chelsea is in trouble and won't play Champions League next season, PSG is too political and the league is not worth his time in my opinion. There isn't much he can go to. Do you think he would go to Real Madrid for a third time?

I don't think that Ronaldo in his prime could be a problem for any club even with his ambitions and ego. Messi is now a completely different case - how can you make him run around the field and put pressure if even in his best years he practically did not do this? But no one will let the head coach put Messi on the bench or kick him out of the team (if the contract is extended with him, which is already very doubtful). This is politics and PR.
Don't know about Real Madrid - looks like Ancelotti can stay another year and like Deschamps won't make room for Zizou  Cheesy

It would be funny if the team whose players occupy all the top 10 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in the league did not become a champion. But unfortunately it's hard to believe, first of all, because there is no clear leader among the competitors and in the end they all interfere with each other in favor of PSG.
Messi should always be blamed, he had two seasons to show at least 20% of what PR says about him, and if the first season could be explained "he left Barcelona for the first time," now no excuses work.
Not as funny as Al-Nassr owning the number one highest-paid player in the world? Haha but no, you're right, but it does make me think of some American sports, where I believe it's actually pretty common to have best-paid players not be in title-winning teams (don't shoot me if I'm wrong).

And yes, PSG should be lucky their rivals are taking points off each other...

I think it's not so funny, since at PSG most of the players received their salaries mainly in exchange for a future result, but there is no result  Grin Ronaldo's salary seems to me to be mainly a payment for his brand. Still, the top 1 in terms of the number of followers on Instagram and the most recognizable athlete in the world can receive hundreds of millions even if he just stands on the field. Everyone is happy with everything - this is an honest business.

Paris Saint Germain's tactical unbalance this season is as a result of the mentality and work rate of their manager and that's where they were dumbed out of Europe by Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Christophe Galtier isn't the best man for the PSG job and he must accept it and leave the club at the end of the season. The club owners has hugely invested in this club and they need to start winning trophies both domestic and European honours and if they must achieve that, then they have to get a new Coach

IMO, Galtier is actually a pretty smart trainer. unfortunately, he does not have an ideal pattern. or perhaps, he had little choice but to tinker with formations and rotate his players frequently. sometimes, it's hard for me to understand what galtier wants to implement in the system.

Maybe it could be, that Galtier lacks players who fit the criteria he wants. I mean, for PSG's midfield. because from my point of view, there are some drawbacks to the midfielders that PSG have, be it attacking or defensive midfielders. well, when PSG play against a team that is below their level. can be sure, that PSG will dominate the game. however, when they meet a team of equals, they encounter many obstacles. well, regarding the future of Galtier. my guess is, PSG management will look for another coach in the coming season.

Psg are having many problems now, they are not sure if Messi and Neymar will be in the club by next season, and now they have a little probelm with Kylian Mbappe, and the player even made a statement on instagram that the club isn't "Kylian Saint-Germain". The problem is because of a video that psg posted without informing Kylian, even when the video was made, the club did not tell Kylian the purpose of the video, but they went ahead to use it in advertising season ticket sales for next season, i think psg are doing this to make sure they keep Kylian Mbappe in the club. The player was not happy with the antics of the club and he has said what he thinks publicly, let us see how psg responds. The club is having many problems with their big stars, we do not even know how many of them will be with the club next season. If you want to know more about this story, you can check it online, it has been posted in many news channels.
