This is the same as they were last season because indeed they are only in one competition (Ligue 1) until the end of the season so this is clearly a tough job again and of course the conditions are quite bad for a team with expensive players and you can say a lot of players star in it.
Even if Nasser Al-Khelaifi's reaction may not be as angry as last season, of course he will not be comfortable in this condition.

PSG is only active in the French league. They are eliminated in all other leagues and tournaments, in the CL and also in the French Cup. The sights can therefore be fully focused on the French league, but if you see the lead, that is no longer interesting. How do players like Messi and Mbappe deal with that? They are used to playing at the highest level for a long time. I think Mbappe would be wise to move to another team, say in the Spanish league with Real Madrid maybe somewhere in the EPL. PSG is not running as a team and I don't think that will happen in the coming years. Probe of his time and talent. Messi ditto.

I would also clarify this point: defensive work sometimes consists in the fast forward simply being in the center circle area, drawing the attention of one or two defenders to himself, not allowing the attacking team to raise the lines too high on the opponent's half of the field. And of course this is combined with pressing and tackling the ball. I think everyone understands which of these three are not aware of such actions, who likes to walk and play on clean balls 

Yeah, good news (barely) is that they can now focus on the league, they should win the league without a doubt, a team that could have won 6 cups in a single year ended up being a team that could barely get one if they keep playing like this, so that is not good. But, at the very least they are trying their best to win and that is not a bad thing, they are doing their best right now and they should be given a break.

If the team is not good enough to win the UCL, then it is not good enough, keep trying again and again while expecting a different result is the managements fault. I get that they spent a lot of money, but it is just not happening, stop rolling the dice again and again, it is not happening.

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.

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.

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.

Anyway, even though Lyon is not the favorite, Lyon still has a chance to win but unfortunately, the chance for Lyon to win this match is not easy and certainly very difficult. Because if we consider the available odds, the fact is that Lille is the favorite to win, moreover, this is Lille's home match.

Also, so far this season based on home and away records, in fact Lille is better for both home and away records compared to Lyon which has a lower record. So yes, it's not surprising that Lille is the favorite to win in this match, because Lille has had better results so far this season compared to Lyon.

Match between Lille and Lyon tonight in the French lig1, both teams have equal chances of winning in this match, the home team is occupying 6th position in this league table while in the hand the visiting team is sitting in 10th position and when the head to head record is been put into consideration both team has won each other equally with 1 draw in lille home, the perfect prediction for this match should be both team score or home win or draw this is because in their last 5 matches Lyon has been unable to win Lille from away so I expect the repeatation of this result in this encounter.

the problem is that PSG doesn't have very good players, if we look closely we will only see:

1 - Messi
2 - Mbappe
3 - Neymar
4 - Sergio Ramos

these are the most famous and popular PSG players, you can't expect a team to always win with only 4 players, what if messi, neymar and mbappe get injured at the same time? what will happen to the team? there will be defeats and more defeats, that way the team will not go forward, they need to hire a good coach and that new coach will change everything at PSG, starting with making the team win games without depending too much on messi, neymar and mbappe, it is also necessary to hire good players for the defense, just Sergio Ramos is not enough. in the midfield they also need to improve a lot

in short: PSG's biggest problem is in the coach, I can't give a very clear example that I believe all or most of us have seen in the past, manchester united couldn't win games, they had good players, but they still lost the games, their defense was bad, they brought in ronaldo thinking that the problem would be solved, but they were wrong, until they brought in this current coach who made radical changes in the team and today we can see that the team is playing very well, that's why that I will repeat that PSG's problem is in the coach

PSG has players far superior to bayern's players, I'm talking about messi, neymar and mbappe, it doesn't make sense that PSG loses to bayern at a time when bayern is not as strong as in the past, current bayern loses in the bundesliga it's not like in the past where they didn't lose in the bundesliga against teams that were weak or not in the top 4, so this defeat is not because bayern is strong, PSG is very weak, PSG even loses against any team ligue 1

I  think Lyon can win tonight against Lille, Lille are 6th in the League table while Lyon are 10th, base on the game statistics on the numbers of time they have played against each other, Lille has won the most, so I think Lyon will try to win against them today to close the cap and to move up in the League table, Lyon are not in good form this season, never expected them to be in the position they are at the moment, but a win against a side that are in the top 6 at the moment will boast the team spirit.

In my opinion, there is no need to have Lionel Messi at PSG. Because if Messi is in this team, he will be left behind from some great achievements of the rest of his career. So Messi should think that if he goes to another club he will be able to give the fans something better.

I am also going to say that PSG losing to  Bayern Munich is not surprising.. 

But that's not because Bayern Munich is just a lot better. It's because PSG is just not doing as well as it should be. It's like people could sense that they are not going to win. After all, the PSG team is not balanced at all.

I suggest that instead of spending thousands of millions to keep a young player who is too arrogant to play with the team, they should spend those millions of dollars to actually build a balanced team that is actually going to work in difficult situations. Unless they do that,  they are never going to get past the quarter-final of the Champions League.

PSG losing to Bayern in the champion league is really not a surprising thing to me. Bayern is more experienced, and even more coordinated in all round(from the match statistics itself)
People keep saying the club has spent this and that, they shouldn't be losing,  it doesn't work that way. For many that are blaming the coach, will you say he is completely poor if he wins the the French league title this season? Even from the days of Laurent Blanc who won triple league 1 title in a chain, PSG never got past champion league quarter final. I suggest we leave them to what they can do, and that is the French league 1title.

Every year they hope to win the long-awaited trophy, but money alone is not enough. I thought that after the defeat they would immediately sack Galtier, but Le Parisien reports that Galtier will only be sacked if he fails in Ligue 1. Although it’s one thing to say, let’s see how it really is, I think that they are already looking for a replacement for him. Well, no problems are foreseen for PSG in Ligue 1, they are ahead of Marseille by 8 points and they have nowhere else to be distracted, all attention will be focused on Ligue 1.

PSG management has spent a lot of money on building their team. But even then their performance was not strong. PSG's coach Galtier is not experienced enough. And this is why he failed to stabilize the party. He doesn't know well how to deal with a lot of star players on the team. This is why PSG's performance was erratic. And their performance against the bigger teams would have deteriorated further. If PSG do not get an experienced coach like Zidane, their dream of winning the Champions League title will not be fulfilled.

Even though Lyon in today's match will play away against Lille and yes, in reality Lyon doesn't seem to have a chance to win if I consider the odds available today. But in my prediction, Lyon still has a chance to get points even though they only come from a draw. Because, although Lille is in sixth place and Lyon is in tenth at the moment, Lille and Lyon only have a gap of only six points.

Therefore, in my prediction, Lyon still has a chance to be able to provide a difficult fight for Lille. Because in the last few matches they have also at least only ended with low or thin scores, and so at this moment it will still be difficult for them to score many goals in this match.

There are a few aspects that make PSG worse in the Champions League,
1. Firstly their team is full of stars but they don't have a good matchup.  Everyone is conflicted about something.
2. They bought attacking players with huge amount of money only to win the Champions League trophy but they did not give much importance to the midfield which is one of the reasons for their elimination from the Champions League.
3. Third is Brazilian star Neymar's maximum time injury. Mainly because of these factors, PSG is not able to improve much in the Champions League. A team that has world-class strikers needs world-class midfielders. Hope PSG understood well.

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.

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.
