In the match between Montpellier vs PSG in the French Soccer League, PSG won by 3 goals. However, we know that PSG is a very strong team. PSG team is now at the 1st position in the points table.  Both teams scored after half time. Montpellier scored 1 goal in this match. However, I enjoyed a very peaceful game between the two teams. I hope to enjoy the game of PSG vs Toulouse again tomorrow.

22nd round is going to start tomorrow with first match is going to play between PSG vs Toulouse with PSG is currently leaders and Toulouse is currently best team from the start of 2023 with having 13 points from their last five games which is amazing stuff from them and if they are able to hold PSG this could be amazing effort with having good chance for other teams in league table to cut the difference of points and create some good interest for the title race which was looking bore few weeks back but now after two loses by PSG things are looking impressive and Marseille is also now at the second spot as Lens is slipping and now having third spot after losing home game against Nice.

Even things are looking good for the home team and league leaders but as Toulouse are performing we can say this match is going to be interesting for fans and both teams because Mbappé is unavailable and after the world cup Neymar is also not performing good alone Messi can change things for the PSG it's a big question mark.

Previously, Lens still had a good record for being team to only get one defeat, but in the match yesterday, Lens actually got its second defeat of the season and this defeat was accepted by Lens at home. The defeat also made Lens drop to third place in the Ligue 1 standings for the time being, and it seems that over time it is possible that Monaco will also be able to overtake Lens.

Also, in yesterday's match against Nice the reality was that Lens could only excel in ball possession and it seemed that Lens lost creativity, so Lens got stuck in being able to create opportunities to score goals.
Less good results were obtained by Lens at home and made them have to look for additional points in the next match to be able to take 2nd place again from Marseille. Indeed, sometimes the advantage of ball possession cannot be a reference for a team to win a match, the proof is that in this match Nice managed to beat Lens with a narrow score and that made Lens have to start organizing what it would need in the next match to be able to create opportunities and score goals.
Again and again they stumbled this week with defeats. They have done well before, but it's a shame they got another disastrous result and forced them down the rankings to be overtaken by Marseille who managed to win this week. And this result keeps them away from Paris Saint Germain now. It's a shame when something like this happens. Precisely their mistake that made them shifted back in the standings.
At least that will be a good motivation for Lens to win the next game. Lens have had very good form this season and if they can be consistent I think they will stay in the top 4 of the standings this season ends. If Lens wants to shift PSG's position this season, it seems that it needs a bit of a miracle. However, there are two teams that are ready to threaten their current position, namely Monaco and Rennes, even though they have a distance of 4 to 5 points, of course these two teams could shift Lens' position in the next few matches if Lens fails to win.

Lens team lost yesterday after a big undefeated streak i think this is their second loss this season and they were beaten by nice team i didn't expect them to perform this poorly i think this is their worst game this season in term of performance but it was a deserved win for nice, they were on a roll recently 10 points from four games is empressive after the bad season they were having, after losing yesterday lense now are in the third position after marseille win gainst Nantes.
Lens defeat was unexpected even though they faced Nice which made a favour for PSG to letting it get 6 points gap between it and them. Marseille was favourite also and took the second place thanks to that defeat.
It is early to say anything about chances since PSG are dropping points from time to time but not trying to reduce the gap is a big issue for them.
Overall this round was better than the previous one for the top teams, except for Lille, Lens, Lyon and Lorient..

You told about the results of the match experienced by Lens. I don't think Lens did anything wrong in their attempts to hold on and try to get closer to PSG's points in the standings, but the defeat prevented Lens from closing the gap on PSG and also saw him overtaken by Marseille. Actually, this is still a very normal thing for Lens because the Lens team is not so far behind from PSG and also from Marseille, so Lens can still try to get better results in the next match in Ligue1.

Yesterday match outcome for Psg is really good, it seems they have step up their games but their next match will convince me, PSG is very inconsistent when it comes to winning matches, they are not the team to give predict most time they fail to deliver, PSG   has to do more now because their is a little gap so they have to cover it totally.
I still thought it would be a draw at first when I saw the line-up because before if one of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi didn't play they always couldn't do well. but this is a mistake luckily I didn't make a bet in this match because if I bet then a draw would obviously be a regret for me.
On the other hand, PSG is currently away considering that the closest rival to the Lens brand is not doing well in the match.

If there is one team that can really have a chance to steal the title from PSG's hands I think that is Marseille.

Lens don't seem trustworthy for me when we talk about making it to the end. They have had a solid momentum but it is still doubtful if they can keep it until the end. Marseille are much more credible for it. Because they have a good squad and a solid form at the same time. While PSG are struggling this much it is like a golden opportunity for Marseille to put up a fierce fight against them. They will need to leave Lens behind first which shouldn't be very difficult actually. Because Lens made so many point losses recently.

Jesus yes, we need more people like you and a few others here to please finally try not to talk about bloody PSG alone!! One of the reasons I find it so hard to come here is that in other threads people are not just talking about the champions, but the teams they support. Here, majority of people are smashing posts about PSG.

Anyway yes Marseille? This was definitely one of the teams I would have gone for early in the season, it was for me between them and Monaco. Unfortunately I went for Monaco... or maybe fortunately as it's not yet too late to get some weird streak??

And Lens as I said yesterday, nice to see them in 2nd but they can't sustain football by crossing in this modern game. Especially if they aspire to CL, they will have to evolve.

I was already doubting Lens about their Nice match before it started. Because there was a match between them before a short time ago and it ended up with a draw. Maybe Lens played a home match this time but this wasn't guaranteeing anything anyway. They really struggled at finishing their attacks with a goal. Nice didn't let them get away with one point this time.

Marseille definitely deserve their position in the standings now. I really liked their game against Nantes as well. They deserve to be in this title competition.

Lens did not have the capacity to fight against PSG, this happens all the time, at the start of the season it was another team, I think Marseille or someone, and they fought hard to stay toe to toe with PSG as well, and eventually they lost and got lower as well. Same will happen to Lens too, we are not going to see them winning anything at all.

We gotta remember that we are nowhere near the point of actually saying anything proper about PSG, because they are not as great as they could be, but all the other teams are so bad that we are not seeing anyone getting that close. It is going to be like this until other teams get better, we are going to keep seeing PSG winning even when they are not playing as they should.

If the aim is to get rid of Paris Saint Germain from the top one standings, it will be very difficult.
The only chance for Lens to compete with Marseille for second place in the standings and get a UCL ticket next season
With more than 15 matches remain in the French 1 League, the chances for any team to finish in the top two are still very open, including Monaco and Rennes.
In the end, that's how it is. PSG is very difficult to compete with because they have line of star players who are ready to make their best contribution to the team. I'm not completely leaving Lens and Marseille out of the title race this season, but I believe PSG will not be easily thwarted for the title. I know the difference in points between these three teams is not that big, but PSG is expected to maintain their form even though Mbappe is confirmed to be injured.

PSG's two best strikers are currently injured and leaving only Messi in the main line-up. I might be worried that Mbappe won't be in the first leg of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, but Neymar might be able to even though he wasn't in the line-up in the last match. I hope Messi can help his team win against Toulouse tomorrow even without Mbappe and Neymar.

if PSG manages to improve their defense then they will not have big problems in the games and consequently they will be able to be comfortable at the top, but if their defense problems are not solved or at least minimized then we will see PSG having a lot of pressure from the opponents because there will be games in which PSG will lose points, so far as PSG's attack can score a lot of goals so even if they concede 1 or 2 goals in a game they can win, but that's not something safe

they need to improve their defense, when I watch PSG games I see their defense making simply unacceptable mistakes, something that shocks me. even in their last game, they conceded a goal that if they had a good defense they would not have conceded that goal, so PSG will lose in the champions league game
PSG don't feel a lot of competition in Ligue 1, perhaps that's why their results are not so impressive, as they know that if one of the opponents gets too close, they can prevent him from overtaking them. But their competitors help to them, Lance lost to Nice yesterday and has already dropped to third place.
Assuming Ligue 1 is as competitive as other leagues, this would have made psg to fix their defence or any other part of their team that is not strong. But  since even if one part of their team is bad or struggling, they will also be winning matches, these has made them to feel so relaxed and will only be very serious during champions league meetings.

Usually Lyon has always been a team that occupies the top 4 in the standings a few years ago, but now they have declined and it is difficult to compete at the top like they did a few years ago. Last season they finished in 8th place and now they are in 10th place in the standings. It is very difficult for them to push their way up to the top because any other team that is there is doing better than what Lyon is doing. But they still have the opportunity to do that even though the chance is very small.
this is an alternation that has happened to Lyon where they were stronger in the past few seasons but as a result of several of their players retiring and going to other clubs this is the small impact that has happened, namely they have lost their balance to compete in the top 4. Yes, this season still leaves a lot of matches but seeing other teams who are stronger than them, I predict Lyon will find it difficult to close the season in the top 4.

As monaco who are ranked in the top 4 are also very close to their points tally with Rennes, I think these two teams will continue to fight for 4th place throughout the upcoming matches.

Lens surprisingly lose from Nice that before this match begin Lens as favourite status because they are very strong at their home ground even during this season Lens were unbeatable for home matches and but apparently Nice can taking chances to scoring goals from corner kick which makes they can earn 3 points from this match besides that i can see Nice goalkeeper Schmeichel was performing well yesterday because he can able to blocked several attempts from Lens players and after this result Lens position were overtaked by Marseille because in the same time Marseille had important winning from tough team Nantes
Just because Lens managed to beat PSG doesn't mean Lens has to always win even if they are the favourites. Even since then, Lens has only been able to collect 5 points in its last 4 matches with only one win, two draws and one loss. I'm not at all surprised by Lens' current appearance because Lens hasn't really been able to maintain consistent form.

Marseille is even better than the performance and results of the last 5 matches. They collected 13 points in 5 matches so Lens had to drop one rank because of it. This proves that Ligue 1 really has tough competition, but in the end PSG must be recognized as having high chance for the title.

Montpellier v PSG match ended in a great result for PSG. They played a really positive football and got efficiency from that by a 3-1 win. It was a nighmare for Mbappe on one hand. He missed penalty twice. It was a great chance for him after the penalty was repeated. But he hit the post this time and couldn't finish right after that against empty goal. He got injured a short time after and it looks like his condition is a little serious. If he is really out for a month then he will miss both matches in the Champions League.

By the way PSG's goals were really lovely. They played like Barcelona in this match. I mean the passes especially. Two assists were very similar to Barcelona's usual game plan. Fabian Ruiz's assist to Messi and his finishing were amazing both.

I'm also curious if PSG will lose some points from now on because Marseille are chasing hard it seems without losing points with not so important teams. Grin

if PSG manages to improve their defense then they will not have big problems in the games and consequently they will be able to be comfortable at the top, but if their defense problems are not solved or at least minimized then we will see PSG having a lot of pressure from the opponents because there will be games in which PSG will lose points, so far as PSG's attack can score a lot of goals so even if they concede 1 or 2 goals in a game they can win, but that's not something safe

they need to improve their defense, when I watch PSG games I see their defense making simply unacceptable mistakes, something that shocks me. even in their last game, they conceded a goal that if they had a good defense they would not have conceded that goal, so PSG will lose in the champions league game
Well, when PSG have Neymar and Mbappe in the attack at the same time, you can say that in defense they play in nine, because neither Neymar nor Mbappe are particularly eager to return to the defense and the team is forced to defend with a reduced lineup.

When Neymar and Mbappe on the field emphasizes the attack, it even worked with Montpellier, at one point PSG "crushed" them, but with a team of Bayern's level it may not work. PSG need more "hard workers", those who run all over the field, and Mbappe can create alone, especially with Messi around.

and it seems that over time it is possible that Monaco will also be able to overtake Lens.

in the league, now Monaco does have a pretty good trend from the results of its last few matches. but the difference in points with Lens cannot be said to be close. at least it takes a win difference for the two matches that Monaco must get. and it should also expect Lens to accept defeat.
PSG is still safe. and maybe even more exciting is the fight for second place which is only 1 point difference. Marseille could have continued to compete with Lens until the end of the season to fight for 1 Champions League ticket.

Even though it is back as before for PSG and Marseille, Lens is only 1 point away from Marseille and it can still be shifted to its position in the standings. For PSG they are now safer with a distance of 5 points from their competitors, at least that's a pretty good capital to secure their position. But something else we don't know for sure could change quickly in the next few matches in Ligue 1 and it's a must watch for teams at the top.
The 1-3 win over their closest rival made PSG stronger at the top of the standings, even though this season PSG has not performed optimally but there is no doubt that the title will be theirs at the end of the season, this season seems to be quite different from last season which was when at that time in the half of the season, PSG had left their opponents with a considerable difference in points, but this season we don't see it at all, although it is only a difference of 5 points but I think will be certainly be very difficult for Marseille to be able to overtake PSG and thwart PSG chances of championship at the end of the season.
