PSG team is currently the strongest team in League One. The opponents of this team or other teams are able to perform much less than the PSG team. I think League One needs to have some strong teams along with PSG to make the matches competitive.

That has been their problem during all these years.They have super star players and it is normal that they will dominate Ligue 1 but after winning it for quite some consecutive years their main objective set by the board of management has been the Champions League.

Unfortunately there they always have failed miserably despite having always great talented players and in this last year super star players that shocked me how they could not score to Bayern Munchen and also how easily their defense was penetrated from Bayern Munchen.I think they have to improve in Champions as they have nothing to improve in Ligue 1.

PSG team is only able to perform best in League One. But the PSG team is not able to do anything in other leagues. PSG have enough players in their squad who can do great things. But due to some mistakes of the coach of the team, the team is currently failing to do well in other leagues.

In that I cannot deny it, the Chilean was quite good in the way he scored those goals, and they were very nice goals, if they played like that all the time they Could make a difference, at the beginning of the season Marseille had a lot of faith in him, which I don't like this team is that when they are playing very well and they have to win they don't, they let themselves lose all the work they did before, and although they are 7 points behind PSG I hope they continue with that streak, for me it is one of the best things you can do if they were to match, plus it's very strange that PSG have lost, I think they have Lost focus a bit, the fact that they lost the UCL has affected them.

What happens is that Zidane is looking to be the technical director of France, Zidane is a very demanding coach, before joining a team he puts on the table what he wants and how he wants to achieve it, if they don't give him what that he simply wants, he says uqe no, then to oppose Zidane at PSG the sheikh will have to make many changes in the team and bring in the players that zidane says and throw out the psg players that he says, this kind of thing It means having the PSG team destroyed in its entirety so that he can work very well, for the rest I think he will always say no.

Marseille vs Montpellier

Montpellier recently has earn 13 points from 5 matches i think this proven they are in the good shape and for Marseille they are really required points to pursuing PSG so wins results is mandatory for each matches if they want to compete with PSG for race title

About team conditions for Montpellier i saw 5 players are on their injured list including Faitout Maouassa but i don't think it would be a big problem because so far Montpellier can able to win without those players and for front lines Elye Wahi probably will be played since the beginning of match

For Marseille i didn't see any important players who got injured besides Sead Kolasinac but probably Leonardo Balerdi still unable to play because of suspension and i know Montpellier recent performance is more good than Marseille but i think it won't makes them can able to beat Marseille and in my opinion Marseille had a potention to break unbeatable records from Montpellier especially from head to head statistics they are too strong for Montpellier and Marseille win probably good picked for this match and this option has odds @1.44

After two failed seasons with their bet on Messi and his ability to help PSG to win Champions League, PSG will not want to pay him too high salary if a new contract is signed between them. Messi will have to accept to reduce his salary payroll for his new contract with PSG. Will he accept to do this when his career has a few years left?

I am sure he will easily get very high salary, higher than what he currently gets in PSG if he decides to move to Middle East leagues like Cristiano Ronaldo. Not many reasons to sacrifice his salary and continue with PSG.

However, it won't be easy for Barcelona to convince Messi returning to Camp Nou. It is very hard task for them even their coach Xavi has good relationship with Messi. Barcelona are not better than PSG in chance to win Champions League which is a most wanted title Messi aims at recent seasons. They will also not be able to give Messi too high salary.

messi has no future at PSG and he will not stay at PSG for the upcoming season. Messi has told his father and agent to bring back him again to the barcelona but the problem is barcelona must have sold some players first to comply with FFP. messi will be leaving from the barcelona with free agent status if his contract will not be extended. Messi is not happy to stay in PSG. Some clubs have been started to be linked with him.

The thing that is clear to us is if messi is not even wanna stay in PSG. Messi already accepted to decrease his salary once he will be going back to the barcelona.

Technically there are still ten more weeks to go for the end of the season. The gap between Marseille and PSG isn't the kind of an impossible one mathematically. However I assume PSG wouldn't let us get more excited about the championship. I would really like to see a thrilling competition between them for the championship on the final weeks of the season.

But even if Marseille continue to win for a long time I assume PSG wouldn't make a huge mistake from now on. They are already out of the Champions League so they can't risk the Ligue 1 title as well.

First of all, tomorrow's match between Marseille and Montpellier is a very important match for Marseille. The match between Rennes and Lens is a very important match for both teams. Rennes has to win the match in order to maintain its 5th place.Lens, on the other hand, is in the championship race and needs to get points from this match in order not to widen the points difference. Both teams have no problem in front of goal, especially Lens, who have scored in all of their last matches, and have a high potential to score in this match, despite being away from home.

Actually, PSG still has a big chance to win France League 1 trophy as long as they are able to maintain the position until the end which is no longer many matches here. As long as they don't make many mistakes in sequences, I do believe that they are still able to do it. Moreover they have those big players, I don't think they will let something bad happened to PSG again, moreover without any trophy, this will be ashamed so much to them. That is why the probability is here actually.

Messi's future at PSG is still ambiguous. He doesn't want to be in a hurry when it comes to extending his contract with the team now. He is just taking his time to make the right decision for himself. Especially after being eliminated in the Champions League maybe this would also be a factor that plays a role in making this decision.

I think his contract will run out and he will wait as a free agent for some time in the summer. Who knows maybe Barcelona would decide to make an offer and things can get more interesting. If they manage to meet his demands Messi's first choice can be them over PSG.

PSG's elimination from the Champions League may increase their focus on the league, but it should not be forgotten that PSG will have tough matches ahead of them.These next 3 matches will be against really tough opponents.I can say that PSG will perhaps declare their championship mentally if they continue with few points losses from here.With 10 games left in the league, the difference of 7 points is not much and it is a difference that can be closed. That's why Marseille needs to play every match as if it were a final match. If they lose points in such matches, PSG will declare their championship early.

Galtier is not suitable for this job as they are completely failed in Champions League and in this season their attacking power is also not working as we have in last few years even we still have Neymar, Messi and Mbappé which are most lethal in European clubs which mean all is not good specially as their target is Champions League they need a good experienced coach which manage these stars and able to have better results as currently rumors are working around we will have good changes in coming season because club management is still had their priority into Champions League, and they can as much they can for their desire hopefully in next season we will have top ranked coach and good positive changes in this giant club for better results.

It's no doubt that Paris Saint Germain's dominance in French Ligue 1 had been so huge that that it has made the the league of the most boring leagues in Europe alongside German Bundesliga that's been held hostage by Bayern Munich. Continuously wining the domestic league isn't the main reason the club owners has spent hugely in the club by assembling football best players but to win the UEFA Champions League trophy that has eluded them as club since formation.

The main reason they were eliminated from club football's most prestigious competition this season I think was managerial faults and if they must get it right next season, they must get a new manager that knows how to win the U CL

There is no doubt in this season we have good competition in few leagues but still PSG is dominating here with 7 points difference and Serie A is completely boring with Napoli is leading from front by 17 points but here in Ligue 1 we have big gaped of quality which needs to be settled but sadly other clubs are not capable of doing this because its needs huge funds and no one having luxury like PSG which is surely problem but with the limited sources and available quality things are good which are helping teams like Marseille, Monaco and Lens which are giving tough challenge to leaders for the title race.

But if we have some investment from these clubs then surely things could be more interested in fans of this league because this could be created good interested and competitive matches which will increase entertainment.

It seems you need to look back at the Bundesliga standings at this point if you say that there is always Bayern Munich in first place. Because what I have seen this season, the competition in the Bundesliga is much fiercer than in other leagues this season, where Bayern Munich's point gap is only one point with Dortmund. Meanwhile, in Ligue1, the gap in points between PSG and Marseille is still quite far, because Marseille needs to hope for three defeats against PSG in order to overtake PSG at the top of the standings.

Gone are the days I will always say that if PSG is eliminated from The Champions League. They will now be focused one Ligue one with all their energy in order to win it.
But this time around it is quite obvious that PSG as a team is even tired of winning the league one title.
Their major challenge is the Champions League and no matter how much investment they have been making in their team in order to win the Champions League. It has proven futile for so many seasons now.
I do not therefore think that the PSG players will be energetic and willing to play even much better as they are indirectly demoralized.

PSG's injury problems so far have made the team's performance unstable. They have to be realistic enough to finish the match with a number of substitute players, while it is difficult to prevent conceding in their last few match.

Their defense isn't great even if they have great players. PSG conceded 8 goals in their last 5 matches, it is bad to assume a solid team is defended. Defensive and midfield issues are the most obvious about PSG at the moment, but this season they are the title favorites for whatever reason now.

The main reason for PSG being at the top of the table is the financial situation of this team, Compared to PSG there are fewer superstars in the whole French league, and other teams like Monaco and Marseille have the budget to hire lower-level players not players like Mbappe or Messi, that why we saw PSG donating the league. However, I was expecting much more from them with the money they spent so far but there is only seven points gap between them and Marseille.

Even if in the end he will leave but as long as PSG bring back this seemingly ordinary coach it will not make any impact. If they want good things and if they sack Galtier then they need to seriously look for a coach who can take them in a better direction because at the moment with coaches like Galtier or Pochetino before they can't really say much in the big competitions even Ligue 1 is a certainty.
