The condition of PSG players now it will be very difficult for them to win most of their games expecially in the Champions league. But I think with the challenging conditions of their players they still have hope of winning the French league. Neymar's injury is a big blow to the club.
Paris Saint Germain have really been unlucky when it comes to the champions League, with all the big players they been able to gather just for them to be able to win the champions League but no success yet, I was thinking signing Lionel Messi would take them far in the champions League, infact many people tip Paris Saint Germain to win the champions League after the signing of Lionel Messi. Now they have to focus in the French league, even after that humiliating lost last week before the international break I still take them to be favourite to the the French league this season.

There is Rennes-Lens on April 1st.
Probably an easy prediction but I bet on Rennes with the odds of 2.35
Lens doesn't inspire me at all, even less than the previous years. Everyone is bullish about Varane joining next year, but we are far from it for the moment

This can be a bit risky to bet on Rennes however the 2.35 odd is high enough to attract people. But compared to Rennes, Lens got better results presently and the last time they faced each other Lens won the game with a 2-1 result while both teams were at the same level but I think Lens could even score more goals. Also, both teams are in the same situation in the league and Lens got a bit better. A safe bet can be Lens, but since the odds are high for Rennes, we can consider betting on Rennes as a risky option.

They won't have any issues finding players to replace Neymar and Messi for as long as the new "financial sustainability" concept isn't introduced and definitely enforced. Money can buy everything. But they will have an issue publicly I guess. Messi leaving the club is a loss in many regards besides just sports. But I agree with you that that could start a chain of bad events for PSG. Mbappe is probably not going to stay when Neymar and Messi leave. He scored again two goals for the French national team and all eyes are on him. He should understand that PSG is not going to turn him into the global superstar he could actually be. In my opinion he needs to play for another club as soon as possible.
But they have enough money and enough investment in their teams, but the question is is this possible for the owner of PSG to spend more money while they didn't get good results? I mean since they spend money at the beginning of the season and they failed in the champions league and there is not enough gap for them in French League, there is the possibility for the owners to stop spending huge amounts of money on them, Also finding a player to replace with Messi is a pain for any team even if they have enough money.
The owners won't stop spending money as there is more to owning a club than winning the Champions League. They want to establish themselves in Europe and beyond as a reputable brand and after all they make tons of money from merchandise as well, so it doesn't hit them as hard as one would think. But every dollar they spent is an investment for them in several ways. Winning the Champions League would be great not because of the prize money, but because of the public recognition that PSG would gain as a global brand and as a club in the hands of the sheikhs.

In fact, Lens is superior to Rennes in the results of home and away matches and also, in their first meeting this season, Lens was still able to maintain its dominance when playing against Rennes. Also, the odds currently available at least don't have a significant difference so even though Lens is playing away, I'm sure Lens will still not be easy to beat.Of course Lens cannot lose in this match, because Lens' position is threatened by Monaco who are in fourth place with only three points gap. So yes, even though in the match Lens will not be easy to win, then a draw is enough for Lens to maintain its position in third place in the Ligue 1 standings.
Lens certainly cannot lose this match. But another thing is they are also in a better form compared to Rennes. I know we are talking about Lens not closing this match, but at the same time, Rennes cannot also lose the match as well. Because if they lose they can go down in terms of positions on the table. So this is going to be a very competitive match between the teams which are at the top of the table right now. This can very well be a draw.
To be honest, I can't assume too much yet. because, I don't have much up-to-date information from the two teams that will compete. even so, this fight will not be easy for Lens to overthrow Rennes at their own cage. because, Rennes has a good record when carrying out his matches at his own headquarters. of the 14 matches they played at home, Rennes were able to win 11 matches. so, it's not an easy matter for Lens to gain full points. moreover, Rennes has a big motivation boost after successfully overthrowing PSG. at least, they will try their best to get points in the next match, including when they host Lens.
On the other hand, Lens has a pretty good H2H encounter against Rennes. in the last 5 meetings, Lens was able to win three matches and the rest were draws. however, it is not an easy job to overthrow the home team. My prediction for the time being, this match will be won by the home team or end in a draw.

Talking about the leader of the standings is redundant for now.
some unfavorable results in the last 4 matches are clearly disappointing but at least with the previous victory against Ajaccio this can be a pretty good capital when facing Strasbourg.
At the moment Strasbourg is still not making the same good contribution as the previous season and this is of course a good opportunity for Monaco.

Strasbourg does not have their old good status this year. Monaco is performing well this year. They have to get the first 2 places to go to the champions league. However, there is a possibility that he can take the second place. There is a 5 point difference with Marseille. Monaco will beat Strasbourg and wait for Marseille to lose points.
It would be very difficult if in the end their target was too high at least now they secured the top 3 positions was a definite thing because for the honest Marseille I doubt they would be overtaken in position 2.

Honestly is true about fans reaction dislike with Lionel Messi after PSG eliminating from Champion League and issues about not reach personal agreement deal with extended contract between Messi and PSG. Become bad situation for PSG after having inconsistent performance three loss in last three games. Up coming next games against Lyon and PSG should stop three loss in a row and give winning games for their fans after last three games not winning yet.
Lionel Messi should show his capacities and fans will respect back for him, but if can't back to the top performance I don't sure how long fans not happy for Lionel Messi.
Why do fans blame Messi when the team's main star is Mbappe? PSG's failure in the Champions League does not make Messi fully responsible because it was the team's fault. I don't expect PSG to qualify for the quarter-finals if the appearance of many players looks scared and loses mentally from the opposing players. A series of star players owned by PSG cannot do much if they are not supported by a strong defense and capable midfielders.Lionel Messi should show his capacities and fans will respect back for him, but if can't back to the top performance I don't sure how long fans not happy for Lionel Messi.
If you pay attention to that, then I believe the fans shouldn't blame Messi for the team's failure in any competition. PSG will not win the Champions League title as long as they do not have good squad depth compared to the previous season.

And this raises a question mark, will Neymar's career with Paris Saint Germain still continue? Even though his contract will only expire for two more seasons, Neymar's situation has made Paris Saint Germain slump, Christophe Galtier needs additional players to fill PSG's attack line
Paris Saint Germain cannot continue to wait for Neymar's condition to recover, coach Galtier needs to do something to make PSG better
PSG must have thought about it too. and Neymar's fate I think will come this summer. and PSG will also get a proper replacement. PSG's latest rumor will sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli. he is still quite young, and would be a good fit to partner Mbappe up front.Paris Saint Germain cannot continue to wait for Neymar's condition to recover, coach Galtier needs to do something to make PSG better
I think there will be quite a lot of reshuffling in the PSG squad this summer. this could be the impact of their elimination from the Champions League. and it was a tremendous disappointment from the club.

it seems that when facing Lyon next week, PSG will have quite a few difficulties with some of their players. PSG are still on top of the table but of course, they don't want to drop any more points after losing against Rennes at home.
some unpleasant news for Messi. fans at the stadium did not like Messi, who felt he was unable to lead PSG to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Whether or not Messi is in the PSG squad, I believe it will still be difficult for PSG to reach the Champions League final. So, if PSG fans really don't want Messi to be in the PSG squad, then it will be easy for Messi to leave because after all, blaming only one player is not a solution.
So to sum it up, it looks like PSG fans don't like Messi and it's not about PSG being eliminated from the Champions League. Because if they don't like the players, then there are still many other players who can't contribute well to the team so they might not like other players.

There is a PSG - Lyon game next time and I'm expecting to see PSG winning the game. Their previous game against each other already ended up with a win for PSG. It was a close win but this time PSG should be even more dominant. In Parc des Princes I just expect a win from them comfortably. They just can't risk their league title from now on as it is the only thing they have left.
They were caring about the Champions League the most but they are out of it already. At least they should go for the league title and secure it.
To win the league I believe they will be able to do it, right now they are still leading the table by 7 points from second place. In Ligue 1, the distance of just 7 points is a wide distance, especially since the one with that distance is the strongest team in Ligue 1. I don't even think any other team can catch them in the rest of this Ligue 1 match. They have been eliminated in the Champions League, and there is no reason for them not to try to take the title in Ligue 1.They were caring about the Champions League the most but they are out of it already. At least they should go for the league title and secure it.
Neymar has been missing many games just as usual, he never really stayed healthy any season ever, so that is why he was missing once again and I believe that Messi can help to a point but he is not going to be the key, Mbappe will get them that title for sure.
And this raises a question mark, will Neymar's career with Paris Saint Germain still continue? Even though his contract will only expire for two more seasons, Neymar's situation has made Paris Saint Germain slump, Christophe Galtier needs additional players to fill PSG's attack line

Marseille - Montpellier is going to be the opening game this time. Normally Marseille should be able to win this game nicely. They are really successful in their head-to-head games as well. Besides they won in their away game against Montpellier as well therefore it would be surprising if Marseille lose points this time. This is important for Marseille too of course.
Because Marseille are trying to secure their current position at least. Because it is very important to qualify for the Champions League group stage. I expect Marseille to get a decent win.
I don't doubt Marseille in this match and believe that they will beat Montpellier later. Apart from the target of the champions league phase, there are things that are more important at the moment, namely being able to continue to cut points from PSG. On the other hand, statistically H2H Marseille is always ahead with a win over Montplier, but Marseille wins by a narrow score and in my opinion that is quite risky. Apart from that playing at home seems to be a separate motivation for Marseille to secure an additional 3 points. Marseille's victory in the previous game against Reims is also a very important asset when they face Montpellier later.Because Marseille are trying to secure their current position at least. Because it is very important to qualify for the Champions League group stage. I expect Marseille to get a decent win.
Actually, Marseille's position in the second position of the table is in danger and they can lose their's place if they lose some points and Lens can definitely sue the chance to take their place. Currently, Marseille got 59 points and Lens just need 3 points to reach them. However, Montpellier can't be a strong team to face Marseille considering their performance.

While Mbappe and Messi have played well with their national teams, their performances against PSG have not been great. The main reason for this is PSG's poor match strategy. and weak ties between players. PSG's overall performance would have been stronger if the bond between the players had been stronger. PSG need an experienced coach. Without an experienced coach, I am not expecting a good performance from this team. Still hope PSG don't drop points against Lyon. This match is important for PSG. PSG won 1-0 in the last away match against Lyon.

Neymar's injuries have almost become chronic. Therefore, although Paris SG wants to sign a new contract with him, I do not think that they will force the conditions. Messi, on the other hand, does not play for Paris SG, as he plays for the Argentina national team. While he manages the team like a maestro in Argentina, he is under the impression of a simple team player in Paris SG.
it seems that when facing Lyon next week, PSG will have quite a few difficulties with some of their players.
