I think there is a time coming in which PSG is actually going to break down and not be able to actually perform well. But right now they are not facing too many problems. Right now they are cruising along. They have a big advantage of probably 8 points. And that is it big enough advantage for them to actually make sure that they go on to win the title. And it is true that whenever they play without mbappé in the team, they seem to struggle. And we all know how PSG performed without Messi a few weeks ago.

Well without going too far, this could be a game for PSG to win, I don't like to give predictions, but the fact that Mbappé is not in the game does not mean that the team is going to collapse, this is one more opportunity for that the Mesi+Neymar duo continue to give their team good results and continue to show that they have a great level without Mbappé, we are also talking about a Messi who is a world champion, he is not just any person, he is one of the figures of fútbol The most outstanding and the one that has the most fame, PSG is just for that reason it is in the world's sights of the most famous team, almost at the level of Real Madrid or Barcelona, this is something that is noticeable for leagues.

This is what I say that a team whenever it has the opportunity to become the best and take the lead and then they get careless and lose, that's what happened with Lens, with Marseille, so there are cases that I don't understand, I don't know if the team in general gets nervous or what happens to it, but honestly when we not only see the French League but also see the Bundesliga it is also very much fought, the League is another that does not escape, of course the last match he had PSG was winning very well, in the headlines it only appeared that Messi had only won the team, something like without Neymar and without Mbappé, the press is very tabloid.

Psg as a team has to do more in attack, upfront and mildfield in other to win match because the team look unstable to me, looking at the recent happenings in the club the club is really struggling to get get goals, their seems to be looming danger and if something is not done urgently they might slide away from the first position, seeing what Monaco is doing lately anything is possible, PSG without mbappe is frustrating, Messi can't do all the work required of him somebody has to help to get the desired results.

I think Marseille must improve their attack line in the next match, otherwise they will be even further behind PSG. On the other hand, this defeat was very undesirable for Marseille supporters considering that they as hosts failed to bring victory. I hope this is only a momentary defeat for Marseille and in the next game they can bounce back. For PSG I think they will be difficult to catch but sometimes there are times when a team can slip up and that is a must watch for PSG.


Indeed, Marseille's dominance of victory stopped in yesterday's match, but I think this is not the time to give up considering they must be able to adapt in the next match in order to achieve positive results. Coach Igor Tudor seems to be the person most responsible for this fight. He failed to deliver 3 points at home and it seems that this mistake will be corrected soon considering that PSG have continued to show brilliant performances in the last few matches. For Nice it looks like they are very happy with the results of the match this time, they certainly also did not expect to be able to beat Marseille away from home.

Yes, that's true, I also watched the match and indeed PSG had a lot of trouble scoring goals. It will be a big job for Galtiye, the biggest problem is not whether the players are good or not, it is the lack of chemistry between the players in attack, both in midfield and up front.

And I don't know what the game plan is, it's very random and not structured at all, it's really noticeable that even during the counter attack phase with the players there seems to be a lack of communication. The back line looks the best in their duties even though Danilo conceded to Nuno did make a difference in my opinion.

Marseille should have of course won the match. But they could not. And honestly, it was a great surprise. I never thought that they are actually going to lose against Nice. And that also this humiliatingly. With this win, Marseille could have actually got a little bit of breathing space. But now they do not have that.

On the other hand, Nice is able to get a very unlikely win. This is of course going to be great for them. Just imagine being in the middle of the table and winning a match against the team which is in the second position. This is going to be a huge confidence booster for them.

Marseille were a little unlucky in their game also. Because the first two goals were results of luck also for Nice. On both goal chances, Lopez made a save first but Nice players scored the goals with a touch after.

Malinovsky found a big space and managed to drop the goal difference to one later. This was some hope for Marseille at least. In the 79th minute, Alexis Sanchez missed a huge goal chance. It was a lovely pass to him but he missed to touch the ball by inches. It would have been an easy equalizer for Marseille. This was like the breaking point of the game. Because a few minutes later Brahimi scored by a great finesse shot and ended Marseille's hopes all of a sudden.

This result helped PSG a lot and Marseille missed the chance of increasing the point difference with Lens also.

Marseille in that match, left behind 0-2 at half time it was a mistake that shouldn't have happened. Now they are not only can't shorten the gap with PSG but now they are also threatened by Lens which have same 46 points, even Monaco has a chance to win the UCL ticket. PSG are getting comfortable at the top of the standings, currently also quite a big difference with Marseille or Lens.

It's a shame I missed this one match, in the end Marseille had to lose after going 8 matches without defeat in all competitions. unfortunately, Marseille fell at home to host Nice. but if I look at the statistics, the two teams played quite a draw even though Marseille had more chances. unfortunately, they were unable to maintain their consistency to stick tightly to PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

In fact, Igor Tudor as a coach said that Marseille's defeat to Nice was due to his mistake. despite failing to pick up any points at home, Igor Tudor was full of respect for the efforts of his players and said the result was not the product of the mistakes of his squad, but because of the system he wanted them to play. Meanwhile, Nice bagged three points after beating Marseille. Didier Digard's troop squad, is on a positive trend winning 4 of their 5 matches without defeat.

I don't agree with you, Marseille doesn't play very well when compared to Nice, if we look at the course of the match, the effectiveness of the Marseille attack is very low compared to Nice, out of 8 shots on target that were made nice, 3 were goals while Marseille only have 1 goal from the 5 shots on target they got.

You are so correct, Lens were very close to psg, but then they drew to Troyes and lost to Nice, and yesterday they drew again to Brest, i think that would make it three matches now that Lens haven't won, if they had won these three games they would have been just one point behind psg. Marseille also lost to Nice yesterday, so now the two teams: Marseille and Lens that would have reduced the distance to psg are now on 46 points each, and are 8 points behind psg. Psg are going to win the league because of lack of consistency from the clubs that were so close to them.

Lol, it's not easy to be a title contender in Ligue 1, and only PSG have the ability to stay at the top of the Ligue 1 standings for the whole season at this moment. Because after Lens, who eventually lost his consistency to continue to threaten PSG's position, was replaced by Marseille but what happened was still difficult.

Playing at home against Nice I thought Marseille would be able to get full points or at least get points from a draw result, but what happened was that Marseille lost at home with a score of 1-3.

Marseille had very bad luck in this match so they lost. Its performance in Marseille was good. But every attack by Nice's players was planned and organized. Nice were very tactical in this match. A total of 14 shots were taken by Nice players, and 8 of them were on target. On the other hand, Marseille did more attacks. They had 22 shots, but only 4 were on target. In Marseille it should have kept the defense tight and then tried to attack. Then maybe they wouldn't have conceded 3 goals.

We still often see this in Ligue 1, yes, teams that are chasing Paris Saint Germain always miss opportunities when they get the chance to reduce the distance from Paris Saint Germain. If the gap has widened it will be very difficult for them to get a good moment like this, because waiting for Paris Saint Germain to decline again, in my opinion, is very difficult in Ligue 1 with such a luxurious composition of their players.

3 matches that have not gone well in the last 5 matches have made it even more difficult for them now.
This condition is clearly not very profitable for Lorient who are very good at the start of the season, with the current conditions it is clear that they seem to be away and make it more difficult for them if indeed their target is to be in the Europa League or Champions League.

Of course they failed to shorten the distance. Four losses in Ligue1 during the season. Marseille were not bad but they failed to create chances and finishes. Nice played better despite not having the ball, they made 8 shots on goal while Marseille 5 times.
But I'm glad this defeat made their gap with PSG even further. Of course PSG are getting more comfortable, but there are still plenty of games left before the season ends. But I think PSG are still favourites to win this season.

Is it possible for any team to have these 3 big players and not depend on them. Any legend that is in any club the club will definitely depend on him. Reasons why PSG signed in these 3 players is to help the team win trophies and nothing much. The team will only not depend on them only if they are no longer in the club.

It was unexpected that the Marseille vs Nice match would end with a score of 1-3 for Nice to win. This result also made Marseille fail to secure 3 points at home and included failing to shorten the distance from PSG at the top of the standings. Actually the two teams are equally strong, but it looks like Nice can maximize the opportunities that exist and turn things into wins in their away matches.

discussing whether PSG will lose against Bayern in the UCL later, it looks like there is still a chance, because Bayern will definitely learn what made Lens and Rennes win over PSG some time ago. but Galtier must have thought about this, he will continue to improve the gaps that are likely to be PSG's weaknesses, against Toulouse, PSG conceded 1 goal in 20 minutes, a weakness like that must be fixed by Galtier.

Let's wait until this match is held between Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich. And we will see which team is more promising and able to play better. Talking about the status of these two teams at the domestic level I think we already know that they are very strong teams, but that is at the domestic level and it is very different to the European level like the Champions League like this. Not only skill and ability but mentality will also speak in a match like this.
