Auxerre drew against Rennes. In fact, even a point is important for them. If they want to stay in the league they will need points, especially from home games. Rennes, on the other hand, maintained their 5th place with this draw.This actually helped Lille a little bit.Lille lost 2 points in the match that ended in a 3-3 draw yesterday.Now that Rennes also drew, things are exactly the same again.
In the match that is going on now, PSG are 1-0 ahead.PSG are playing well in Brest away and will probably pass here without a loss.
Auxerre recent form is amazing as they were able to hold Rennes for the goalless draw which give them one crucial point and place out of danger zone for one day because if tomorrow we have AC Ajaccio won against Montpellier then surely we will have changes in league table but right now things looking good for the Auxerre after this result in last five games they are having nine points which is surely good stuff for them and their hopes for having another season in Ligue1 situation in league is surely good as few teams are having good change in performance which is surely helping them for having better spots in league table and also for staying into this league for another season even right now all are just predictions with we can expect changes which are surely going to have big impact in coming weeks as well.

the first round of Brest vs PSG has ended with a 1-1 draw. PSG was able to take an early lead through Soler but Brest were able to equalize quickly in the 43rd minute through Honorat.  From the PSG formation, I saw Galtier installing 4-2-2-2. This is quite a strange formation, and I was surprised to see what Galtier was doing. I think he has a target that is strong enough to win this match after PSG were previously knocked out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Let's wait for the second half to start. I think this match is likely to be won by PSG because they were able to play pretty well in the first half. lionel messi and mbappe had quite good chances to score in the first half but they failed to finish well, I think they will make the most of the second half as best they can.

It is just unacceptable for me to see PSG this much unsuccessful. I don't see the Ligue 1 titles as big successes. Because they have already been dominating the league for many years so there isn't anything impressive in this for the supporters anymore. They just want their team to become the Champions League champions. With a squad like this they should have been able to do it at least for once already. But they are just making bad decisions about their choice of manager.

I agree with the people who think they need a much more reliable manager than Galtier. Zidane is not the only one of course there are many other options as well. Maybe Zidane might not accept a job offer from any team yet as he had a wish to manage a national team as far as I know.
What in your mind not acceptable with PSG failure in Champion League? have been tradition with PSG can't get Champion League tittle several years although bring many stars player. Seems not mistake from PSG manager Graham Galtier because previous manager never success give Champion League tittle except with Thomas Tuchel lead until final stage only.

No bad if Zidane become PSG manager next season but I don't sure his potential will give Champion League tittle because difference player composition between become Real Madrid manager and PSG. Left Ligue 1 with several matches later and no doubt with PSG will be the winner with 8 points left behind Marseille on current position.

Like I said as long as this squad don't manage to win the Champions League still then it isn't a very successful season for them. Yeah they couldn't do this with some other managers in the past as well. But I just see Galtier even worse than all of them. Because PSG just finished the matchup against Bayern Munich without scoring a goal. This is just terrible performance. I remember how strong they were against Bayern Munich some years ago.

Back then they didn't have even Messi in the team but still they were really impressive against Bayern Munich. After a tough matchup they managed to eliminate Bayern Munich then. Now they have a stronger lineup but they are just worse in performance. Let's see what action PSG will take about this situation. But if I were in their place I would have tried to bring a manager like Zidane.

This will be an interesting match considering that PSG have been eliminated from the champions league and now they will focus on the remaining Ligue 1 matches to secure the title this season. Brest as the host doesn't seem to have a chance to win this match, even in head to head PSG are always superior either at home or away. Mbappe and Messi as usual will be the key to victory for PSG and this will be an additional 3 points for PSG in the standings.
Paris Saint Germain are suppose to win the game tonight but they are out of the champions League and I don't think they have another compitetion to play for, so the only league are have to play for now is the French league, the game has started and they are till playing goalless but I know Paris Saint Germain can till win the game, is just for them to play and enjoy themselves at the moment nothing to play for again because they are the favourite to win the league title.

Auxerre vs Rennes should be a game that cannot end with a draw right ? both teams are looking for 3 points today , as Auxerre to avoid relegation and lately they are doing a great job by accumulating points and then we have , Rennes who wants to keep that last place that leads to Conference league for next year so overall , I'm expecting goals today.
Agree with what you said because even when looking at the quality of the players they are almost equal but when talking about the overall performance Rennes is above Auxerre for now.
A draw without a single goal there makes this really detrimental for Rennes, I think because with this, their points that should be close to Lens are hampered.

They did not have winning habit in Champions League and they don't have strong mentality there. They have it in Ligue 1 but in Champions League, they have the opposite. From strongly confident in Ligue 1 to extremely fearful and vulnerable in Champions League, PSG have two opposite sides. Even their star players in attacking system don't play well in Champions League. Sometimes they shined brightly but mostly they didn't.
Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have made PSG better in quality, but in the end these three players are not saviors in many important matches because the depth of PSG's squad is very unequal.

I heard that there are many demands in the process of renewing Lionel Messi's contract at PSG, one of which is to bring in several new players so that the team's goals in the Champions League can be achieved. If PSG really want to do it, then they will have to improve in defense and midfield. These two positions had in fact been in trouble so far, so they should completely overhaul them.

I think we even know who will win in this match.
Brest has a condition where they won last week but it doesn't matter when the opponent is PSG now and of course PSG have to win easily and have to get points again and again at least with this they show their dominance because it's the only way they can save face Moreover, this is the only competition they are currently participating in.

Lacazette was there to save Lyon in short. He was injured before and he newly recovered before the match against Lille. The manager didn't prefer him in the starting eleven not to risk it. But after Lille seemed like they were going to win the match Lacazette entered the match. It was a great move by the manager because he was the savior of his team by scoring two goals there.

It was an extraordinary performance from Lacazette, played from the 72nd minute he managed to score 2 goals to save Lyon and get 1 point for it. Perhaps Laurent Blanc should consider starting him in Lyon's next game against Nantes. But for the league's top scorer, I think it will be difficult for Lacazette to compete with Jonathan David and Kylian Mbappe, they performed very well in their respective teams, as you know also in the Lille Vs Lyon match Jonathan David scored a hat trick there.

Rennes failed to record another win this week by only being able to draw with Auxerre. There seems to be a problem in their attacking scheme, because they dominated the game, but they found it very difficult to penetrate Auxerre's defense and found a dead end every time they tried to attack. I thought they would be able to bring home 3 points in this match, it turns out they could only take 1 point.

Brest as the host doesn't seem to have a chance to win this match, even in head to head PSG are always superior either at home or away. Mbappe and Messi as usual will be the key to victory for PSG and this will be an additional 3 points for PSG in the standings.

Even though, for example, PSG is still playing in the Champions League, of course PSG will still be able to lock in its position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. So it's not surprising that PSG will always be the favorite team to win in every match in Ligue 1 because basically PSG has high dominance, especially at this moment PSG really no longer has pressure because of other competitions.

Therefore, I hope that PSG will be able to win easily and be able to score goals quickly. Because if PSG still rely on Mbappe and Messi in every match in Ligue 1, then it should always be easy for PSG to win both home and away matches.

Of course, PSG can still stand in the first place in the french league even after losing the game champions league and disappointing fans currently many people hate PSG just because PSG spend lots of money to buy superstar players and in the end, they failed to be even between the top teams of the champions league but still they are the first team of french which is the last thing they can do and if they lose this position I can say there will be more hater for this team. 
The performance of the PSG team seems like the team was created just to be the best in League One and become champions. Despite having so many good players, the team is repeatedly failing to prove its ability in other different leagues.

Lacazette is really unstoppable this season with his goals. He is in a wonderful form for a long time and he is fighting for finishing the season as top scorer of the league as well. I'm glad to see him back at his old team too because he was reborn here.

Football is a game that needs to create a great relationship from the defense line app to the offensive line so that any team will be able to perform well. But this thing is sorely lacking in the PSG team. As a result, the team is currently unbalanced.
I think it will take a while before they can realize that spending a ton of money on few superstars will not make a good team. This is basically a system that the owners put in place, they wanted players like neymar, mbappe, messi and so forth in order to make a big name in the world and it worked in a sense that they are a lot more media-friendly right now and everyone talks about that, that much is true.

However, if you want to have a great team, then you need to have great players in every position. If people all around the world knows your 3-4 players, but can't name 3 players on your midfield, then you are not doing a good job building that roster.

Marseille were really bad against PSG this time and I wonder why. Because their general performance in the league so far has been really impressive.

They were in a good form and shape as well before this game. I would have expected them to resist PSG more than that. The defensive weaknesses cost them too big. Mbappe and Messi were so comfortable with making incredible assists to each other and finishing the game early as well. Now the gap has become 8 points between these teams in the standings. PSG can go for making the gap much bigger than this from now on maybe.
Marseille failed to take this golden opportunity to shortned the point gap to keep the title race alive and closer , mbappe play brilliantly as usual to torture marseille , almost sure psg will take the trophy as usual every year ... there is no really competition in ligue 1.

The top 4 is not balance , psg way too strong.

This game was a disappointment for Marseille, it was the opportunity to take 3 points from PSG and they threw that option away, the truth is that they did not apply the same strategy with which they beat PSG in the French Cup, this time they went out to play but very bad.

Marseille for a second I thought they were afraid and the one who expected a lot and to shine was Sanchez (El Chileno) but he did nothing, it is difficult when a team that needs to score points plays like this, if it is the team that is in the first Instead of qualifying, the duty is to play as if it were a final to see if they win again. Marseille was the team that saw a good chance of making war against PSG, but nothing, I don't know what really happened to them, sometimes things go very wrong for teams.


I think saying that it is truly disappointing is too much of an exaggeration when you play against Bayern Munich in the round of the last 16. The end result would have been the same for both teams. If Bayern lost, the only thing that is remembered is that they lost in the round of the last 16, not against whom they lost. That feels a bit wrong when you have to assess a performance of a team. If the best of the best play against each other early on, one is going home with a big disappointment no matter what.

In this case Bayern was so much better than PSG. I think we can agree on that. PSG needs to approach the idea of becoming successful differently.

Even though losing a game is always a bad thing and can have a negative effect on any team, PSG still lost the game against Bayern Munich, which was not a weak team. However, they spent millions of dollars on their players and hoped to see their team even win the champions league, but still they are in the first round of the league and are the first hopefuls of winning the championship, which is not any worse than what it was for the previous team.
Despite having so many good players, I don't understand why the team is so messy. But I think the coach of PSG team has made some bad decisions, if the team players apply some new strategy, then the team can probably do something great.
For the fact that PSG has 3 out of the five best players in the world or the fact that they have the most lethal defender in their ranks shouldn't make football fans to see them as a failure because it is one thing to have quality players and also another thing to make good use of those players and that is why I think that their main problem is tactical problem. They need to get a manager who knows how to man manage a team, a no-nonsense manager who will be respected as feared by the team and finally a manager who can make them play like a team instead of individual players. That is what they need to become a European heavyweight club.

They have three best players in the world and they have a stable financial system to guarantee players about their salaries in the future which can be a reason for them to play with better conditions than other teams so I guess the fans expected to see more from PSG it's not coming odd, in the other hand, the players were bought for the champions league title if you ask me.


It's not a secret for nobody that everyone talks that PSG is missing a lot , they got kicked out of the UCL having practically the two best in the world, because Ney couldn't contribute to the game they lost, I'm sure that if Ney had played the result maybe There would have been another, or perhaps more closed, but they want to get out of Messi, they want to get out of Neymar , PSG will be pure Mbappé, I think that Mabppé's dream will come true because that was what he wanted, to put together a team under his demands, So now that it's possible I think it will come true , it's obvious to me that Ney wants to leave, he has a serious injury and I'm sure Messi will be bored by now.

There's nothing really surprising about PSG's failure in the Champions League, I think they have a lot of holes to be patched in some central positions. You can say PSG have Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, but there is no player of comparable quality to replace any of them when injured. While PSG are lacking in midfield, their midfielders are not strong enough and their quality is not really up to par with their 3 forwards.
They did not have winning habit in Champions League and they don't have strong mentality there. They have it in Ligue 1 but in Champions League, they have the opposite. From strongly confident in Ligue 1 to extremely fearful and vulnerable in Champions League, PSG have two opposite sides. Even their star players in attacking system don't play well in Champions League. Sometimes they shined brightly but mostly they didn't.

The bench of PSG is not good at all. I am also going to say that the defense is not good as well.

They have a perfect attacking lineup. But in both midfield and defense, they do not have a perfect setup. And of course, I also have not even started about any replacement for injury.

For me, the failure of PSG was also kind of expected as well. I hope instead of keeping Mbappé for a longer period of time, they will actually try to bring in good players to the team and make a better team overall.

Lille hosted Lyon in the most important match of the week yesterday.Lille, who led 2-0, could not protect this lead and ended in a 3-3 draw. Jonathan David and Lacazette's goal duel did not produce a winner. We can call it an important loss of 2 points for Lille. 3-3 draw in a match in which they were 2-0 up at home means that the point difference between them and the teams in the race is widening. Instead of winning this match and becoming 5th, they remained in 6th place. Today, both Rennes and PSG go to important away games and both teams will tire their opponents until the last minute for points.

PSG should win. I hope they are going to win. Because you know, they have just got knocked out of the Champions League. And I believe that the Champions League was the main target of PSG. So, I believe now they are going to put all their resources into trying to win the Ligue 1 title. I think they will be able to win. As they do every season.

Auxerre vs Rennes should be a game that cannot end with a draw right ? both teams are looking for 3 points today , as Auxerre to avoid relegation and lately they are doing a great job by accumulating points and then we have , Rennes who wants to keep that last place that leads to Conference league for next year so overall , I'm expecting goals today.

Rennes should also be able to win the match against Auxerre. After all, Rennes is going up against the team which is in the relegation zone. This is going to be a default win for Rennes.
No matter how much the PSG team plays against the lesser teams, it will be difficult to guarantee that PSG will secure victory. Because the supporters' trust has decreased from the team. The team's defenses are in a very bad condition.

Possibility with Ligue 1 losing Lionel Messi for next season after having new rumor he will move to Saudi Arabia Pro League, beside with PSG dominance in Ligue 1, I think the interested from Ligue 1 because having Lionel Messi. Still not reach new extended contract with PSG seems many possibility for Lionel Messi keep stay with PSG or leave this team, actually he still disappointed after PSG eliminating from UEFA Champion League.

PSG need to give fantastic offering how to make Lionel Messi keep extended new contract for two or three years, better not give short or one season contract if won't loss Lionel Messi this season.
