Well, the truth is that PSG is not bad, I believe in the quality of each of its players, and I praise it, Messi, Neymar and Mbappé are exceptional, for me they are a great blunderbuss, but in terms of performance The team has many vulnerabilities, and I think they can be adjusted at a technical level, however it is difficult when you have practically the best stars in the world working, but Bayern have some players who play as if they were 1, they all work very well as a team , their defense is solid, their midfield is one of the best and apart from that their striker is the most lethal they have, that is what should be considered.

It's what you say, Lens doesn't look bad, but I think they can quickly lose second place, at first I saw Marseille as one of the candidates so that they could compete with PSG, but eventually it's not like that, also Lille They are teams that I saw very well for everything, I even thought that they could perform a miracle and be above PSG, what happens is that when only Ney and Messi get together it is something that can destroy any team, it is very It's difficult to play against the two of them, and if Mbappé comes out that way, it's much more difficult. To be honest, what I admire PSG the most is that trident, because the truth is, if they weren't there, they wouldn't be first.

Of course this is my personal opinion, if for the next games the teams like Marseille become good players, things can paint much more in their favor, more competition would not be bad.

Can't expected with PSG trio exist for several season later based on Lionel Messi contract left until June 2023, its seems he has few months later before his contract over with PSG and waiting new agreement extended contract discussing after World Cup 2022. Not only with Lionel Messi future with PSG have big question but also Mbappe one step forward have rumor moving to Manchester United on next window transfer although its little possible based on contract left with PSG until 2025.

For Lionel Messi and Neymar they have Champion League tittle in their career with Barcelona but Mbappe still not yet have this tittle, I doubt with his opportunity can get Champion League tittle with PSG and he needs looking for bigger opportunity on other team if want get Champion League tittle in his football career.

It is very clear that Paris Saint Germain's main goal is to bring in a lot of star players because they want to win the Champions League trophy. But so far their plans have not worked out so well and they are still having trouble making it happen. I won't be surprised when in the transfer market they bring in Cristiano Ronaldo to join them. They don't care about the money they will spend to get the players they want. But keep in mind that money does not guarantee to bring them a title.

The possibility will continue to happen but in this case I think not for Messi even though he still hopes to retire at Barcelona but it's a different story with Neymar. Last season he was often rumored to leave and did not rule out the possibility for the next season to be the same, especially in this case he still has a prolonged conflict with the club owner even though his contract is still quite long but it does not rule out the possibility of him leaving sooner.

PSG's main goal about bringing Messi and Neymar here as well and building the "trio" has always been winning the Champions League title. Therefore if they continue to fail in their goal anyway then I don't know if any of these players would think about leaving. Maybe not because of lacking the Champions League title but for example Messi might think of leaving at a point. Because he might be still thinking of retiring at Barcelona. But until then I don't see any reason for him to leave.

So do you think if PSG fail to win the UCL Trophy the trio of Messi, Mbappe, Neymar will disband?
PSG has never won a UCL trophy, but that doesn't mean their flagship trio will move to another club if they fail to win the UCL trophy this season. You speak without clear sources, very unfounded assumptions about this.

Ligue 1 has just finished its 15th week, teams like Lens, Rennes and Marseille are not secure in their positions because besides the competition is still long, their performances are also up and down. Lorient, Monaco and Lille are still capable of surprising.

Apart from PSG, other teams have not been able to keep their performances consistent, changes in the standings will still occur as long as the season is still running. Surprises will always be present in second to fourth positions, teams ranked in the big six will fight for a place in the Champions League zone.
While Lens is still safely in place because the gap is slightly wider than the team below, there is still a possibility for Rennes and Marseille to move up to second place if Lens is not consistent.

LOL, Does winning the UCL title or not have anything to do with their contract at PSG? Believe me, even if they don't win the UCL title, they will still play together at PSG. Then you talk about the potential for Mbappe to leave PSG, is that possible? I think that at the moment there are no other clubs that can sign Mbappe (perhaps financially) other than Real Madrid and also Manchester City, and as we know that Mbappe had already rejected Real Madrid at that time and preferred to stay at PSG because of additional offers. Manchester City, they already have a bomber from Norway "Erling Haaland".

Shifts from 2 to 4 in the standings will still occur. They are a team that cannot be judged consistently and still tend to be unstable in maintaining their position. Let's see what happens to Marseille who dropped down the rankings due to their inconsistency in recent matches, and it will also apply to other teams like Lens and Renners. Indeed, their current points gain is quite wide, but it is still very easy for them to move positions in the standings.

PSG have been very comfortable in the Ligue 1 since they created a trio of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. It isn't a big deal for them to become the champions by a huge gap with the other teams. Hence their main target has always been the Champions League title. They have zero title in their Champions League history and this is their biggest chance to make it while they have this fascinating trio. Last season wasn't good for them as they were eliminated by Real Madrid. This time they need to be more successful despite having another big obstacle ahead such as Bayern Munich.

Otherwise this trio is quite likely to disband in the near future. Maybe we would see all of them here one more season but I don't expect the trio to stay the same after that. Apart from Messi and Neymar, even Mbappe might think of leaving depending on a possible strong offer by another solid team which are successful in the Champions League also.

If you look at their current conditions, it is possible, but I don't dare to confirm that from now on, especially seeing the competition from the top 2-5 positions, it's clear that this is still interesting because other teams will definitely catch up with the remaining match time this season is still very long.
with the condition that there are still 18 matches left and the point margin is now only 5 to 6 points, I think there is still a chance for several other clubs to continue to stick and even shift Lens' position, which is now still Runner up there.

The most expensive team for Ligue 1 is PSG. Their team is the most advanced, and the team has formed a great combination that will help the team a lot. I am very hopeful that PSG will be champions of League 1 this time.

bayern will be favorites at PSG's home and they will be favorites at home, bayern is much stronger than PSG, PSG was very unlucky at the moment they played against bayern, they will lose, they will only win bayern if they are very lucky. bayern plays very well when playing against strong teams and they score a lot of goals even playing against strong teams, this is an advantage point for them, PSG sometimes plays badly and their defense is another problem, the attack if they have messi will do well, but bayern specialize in scoring a lot of goals


in my opinion Lens will manage to finish in position 2 this time, they are having good results and in the last 5 games they will achieve 5 consecutive victories and they managed to beat Marseille that's why I see them as the best qualified candidate at this moment to finish in the position 2, I can be wrong, but I believe that if they keep this good consistency they can finish in position 2 and will go to the European champions league next season. against Marseille they play well, but sometimes they lose points and as a consequence they are in that 5

In recent years, Marseille has become a club that can occupy the top 5 positions in the standings table. They always provide competition for the position even though they have not been able to be the best in a season like LOSC for example. With that I'm pretty sure they can compete for the 2nd place in the table just like you. Now they are in 4th position, with a difference of 1 point from Renners and 6 points from Lens. With the remaining matches now it is very possible for them to sit back as runners up like the past few weeks.

Marseille's success in defeat Lyon and Monaco in the last two matches should have been a good start for Marseille to return to competing for the top positions in the standings, but unfortunately  their consistency had to stop for a moment due to the world cup break.
Toulouse will be Marseille's next opponent, based on the statistics on the performance of the two teams it shouldn't be a problem for Marseille to continue their winning streak in the upcoming matches.

Messi is at a stage of his career where he does not care about club football achievements anymore. He has achieved everything that is there to be achieved.

So, I am not going to be surprised if he doesn’t get injured. Because he is always going to try to give his hundred percent for his national team. But for Neymar and Mbappe it’s different.

Even for Neymar who has already stated that this might be his last World Cup. I think there are a lot of importance to be given to club football. And Mbappe is obviously early in his career and he’s going to give importance to his club a lot.

So, I think the chance of Lionel Messi getting injured is a lot more compared to the other two. But the thing is in my opinion PSG is obviously going to win the league title. and the only important thing for PSG is the Champions League competition, so the player knows that they will win the league title.

Anyway, I think they will try to give their best effort in the World Cup.

Marseille is now in fourth place in the standings in Ligue1 and has a six-point gap with second place in the standings (Lens). And it's clear to regain second place this season after the World Cup break is a good target for Marseille, but Marseille also need to improve their consistency in playing more, because considering that Lorient, who are currently in fifth place in the standings, are not far behind Marseille. And if Marseille don't improve their way of playing in matches in the second half of the season, it is very likely that their position will be shifted again by Lorient if Lorient can appear more competitive in the second half later.

It seems that in tough games marseille team always stand out but their problem is against medium and weak teams they lost many points even at home and that problem persist since last season, they managed to get the second position in the last one but will they be ablle to do it in this one with many teams in good shape.

PSG and Munich on paper have equal strength, this makes it difficult for us to predict it. however, in terms of attack. PSG are sharper because they have the MNM Trio, they will often take turns threatening to create goal opportunities when applying pressure in the opponent's defense. of course, Nagelsmann has more eyes on them and looks for the right formula to stop every attack PSG builds. clearly PSG is not Barcelona, ​​which was easily conquered by Bayern Munich.

On the other hand, Galtier will pay more attention to the midfielders owned by Bayern Munich, not to mention the existence of Sadio Mane and Muller. Bayern Munich has benefited from its players who are very productive in terms of scoring goals, plus a fairly solid defense.
IMO, this match is a premature final. I hope both teams will present beautiful football with high tension. whoever wins this fight, they have the right to appear in the next round.

Almost all leagues are now closed for the World Cup. This can change the performance of almost all team players. Maybe someone will do great and someone will not be able to do well. We will see the new performance of the clubs after the World Cup.

Marseille can able to managed 2 consecutive wins from their recent matches on France league this is good for them because finally Marseille can bounce back and their distances points between them and Rennes on 3rd position is not too far so they can chased it in case Marseille should be playing more consistent but unfortunately most of France clubs didn't used this break to do some of friendly matches and after failed on champion league Marseille only focus to Ligue 1 and their schedules on next month and January also not so hard because Marseille only faced mediocre teams such as Toulouse, Montpellier and Troyes so they have to utilized those matches to gets full points and if Marseille can managed their performance i am sure it won't be hard to gets the winning results from them
