Again they were knocked out in the Champions League too early but it does not wipe out their chance in Ligue 1. Weeks ago, other clubs have very close gaps with PSG but now it has become 10 point gap to a second club. That is impossible for those clubs to close those big gaps and beat PSG when the season is no longer long time left.

Problems with PSG defense is clear that makes them weak in Champions League but in Ligue 1, it does not mean a lot for them. Their attacking system can cover weakness of their defense and they are still a strongest club there. 10 point gap is a solid evidence of their domination in Ligue 1 even they have not too strong defense and spent their focus on Champions League in many weeks.

I totally agree with your comments because the focus of PSG is nothing but the UEFA Champions League. They have ten points lead over Marseille which means there is every possibilty that the club will win the French league. The club is now in disarray because Mbappe's future in the club is unclear. This youngstar wants to lift the Champions league and it is clear that his current team doesn't have the quality or capacity to compete for this prestigious competition. When he was asked about his future by some journalist, he unveiled to them that his focus now is the league and his future will be discussed at the end of the season.

I also don't know if Coach Christophe Galtier will still be in charge of the team next season considering the strict approach of management by Nasser Al-Khelaifi and his Qatar Sports Investments. With the current quality players the club has it it's disposal, one might one to asked when will PSG win the Champions League?

Now psg have to wait for next season again, i know they want to win the champions league, but the only trophy they have a chance of winning now is the Ligue 1 and there is nothing they can do about it, Bayern munich were better than them, that is why they were able to beat them 3-0 on aggregate. Now psg have to focus on the Ligue 1, they would have been in danger of not winning the Ligue 1 if the other top teams were consistent, but they were not, and now psg have a 10 point advantage and they must surely win the Ligue 1 now.

These are some good points that you brought up. But this has been the case for quite a while and they have never really had a strong defense. That was also their problem against Bayern Munich, but conceding goals against them is still ok. As you described conceding goals against a team that is even one man down is a shame, but this season is pretty much finished for them anyway. No more Coup de France, no more Champions League either and I wonder how this team is supposed to motivate themselves for the coming weeks. If you are a guy like Mbappe and your season is pretty much over by the beginning of March, it can't get any worse than that.

PSG win the champions of the France Ligue 1 is not longer any news and neither will it be an excitement or a surprise to the fans. The fans are tired of the league 1 trophy they want something like the Champions League trophy and that is where the expectation of the fan and that of the footballers and also that of the management is but it is quite unfortunate that every efforts made by the management of PSG to win the champions league has proven futile. Let me see any effort by next season.

Problems with PSG defense is clear that makes them weak in Champions League but in Ligue 1, it does not mean a lot for them. Their attacking system can cover weakness of their defense and they are still a strongest club there. 10 point gap is a solid evidence of their domination in Ligue 1 even they have not too strong defense and spent their focus on Champions League in many weeks.

PSG situation is very serious, despite them having a difference of 10 points in the table, they have serious problems such as:

1 - PSG has serious problems in defense, which makes it difficult for the team to play without conceding goals, to get an idea of the seriousness of what I'm talking about

PSG 2 - 1 Brestois

in this game, PSG conceded a goal, but if we look at this goal that PSG conceded, we can see that it was a serious mistake in PSG's defense, and to add that PSG is not managing to play well against brestois, which are a team that are competing with teams from the relegation zone

PSG 4 - 2 Nantes

PSG conceded 2 goals in this game

I'm not going to post more games, but the most important thing is to show that PSG's defense is not good in certain games, of course if we look globally we will see that in 27 games they conceded 26 goals, and that's a good thing. but in the last few games they have conceded a lot of goals sometimes

2 - PSG will no longer have neymar this season, it is safe to say that PSG's attack is already weakened, so it is possible that even their opponents will be able to win the Ligue 1 this season


Marseille were playing with 10 players from the 29th minute, but even so they managed to score 2 goals, but it is still shocking to concede a goal and in the next minute to concede another goal. it was very bad luck for them and the mistake of the guy who received the red card. It is very difficult for a team that is playing with fewer players to win a game, these are very difficult situations.

I am 100% certain that certain rich people at the very top probably all have these type of tapes. In fact, when panama papers and similar things came about, where we have seen the clear corruption of the rich people, people who avoided taxes in billions of dollars, and even sex tape of so many famous people, it literally did nothing for their career at all.

I understand that you may want to hide all of this information, it's only natural to want to hide it, but when once it's out, you would just need to take it and move on, in a year it will be all gone anyway and wouldn't really matter. This response to just kidnap and torture a person in retaliation? That's sick, it's disgusting and the owner should be banned from being an owner straight up, how can we support a person who kidnapped another person and tortured him to keep being an owner?

This is the problem PSG has been having even before now, that is why it was easy for Bayern Munich to take advantage. PSG has good players, and if the players are not exhibiting good performance then the fault is from the coach,  he needs to change his method of formation.

I think it is obvious that they will be champions of the league as the league is now the only focus success for Paris SG. Especially considering that Marseille drew 2 goals in the last 2 minutes against Strasbourg in the last match, their chances of becoming champions with these points losses are very low. We can say that Paris SG is the champion of this year as well.

One of the matches this week will bring Lyon vs Nantes. As we know, Lyon in the previous two matches always won a draw and made their position stuck in 10th place in the standings. Lyon will be the host, for sure they will try to win this match so they can shift Lorient's position in the standings and for Nantes who will play Lyon's home game, they are currently in 14th place in the standings and it looks so bad because they only won one victory in the last 5 matches of ligue 1.

If you look at PSG's defense it's a complete mess, first I think that the players are not up to standard but when I think about it I start to think that they are disorganized and I think that also goes down to the manager who is like you said. PSG's defense isn't the best but it's far from bad if the Manager can't manage it properly. With proof PSG had to be eliminated in the UCL and in Ligue 1 conceded a lot.

PSG has so far only focused on investing on the front lines, but they have forgotten about the back line which is in chaos

galtier must seek major improvements to PSG's back line otherwise next season PSG will always be eliminated from the champions league and may not be able to become champions of ligue 1 again

I don't think people would bet on PSG to win or even other teams like Marseille, it's too obvious who the winner is so there is barely profit to bet on it, and yes, PSG's season is done for, no CL and no French cup, I don't think players and fans are going to be that happy by winning the league, they got used to it.

I agree with everything you have listed, but I don’t understand why this is important for PSG this season? They have already been knocked out in the cup and in the Champions League. Bookmakers estimate the chances of a Ligue 1 title as 1.01 (lol I wonder if someone will bet on such a negligible odds).
In fact, PSG should already be preparing for the next season, everything else is trifles.

I was really surprised that Marseille got this result. In fact, they were down to 10 men early on, but they still did enough to score.

They scored at the beginning of the second half despite being down to 10 men. In minute 76 they increased the difference to 2 but they couldn't keep this score. In the 88th and 89th they had to settle for a draw with 2 goals one minute apart. With this point loss, the point difference with psg increased to 10 and we can say that the possibility of the championship has started to diminish.
