PSG have announced with their squad final list name for French Cup against with Châteauroux, dominance by reserve player and Christophe Galtier want to give opportunity for their second composition player get more minutes in French Cup. Lionel Messi have return to the team last few days still not include in player name list for French Cup, not only with Lionel Messi but also Neymar and Mbappe are missing in the squad list prepare for French Cup.

Still having with experienced player name like Sergio Ramos, Marquinhos and Keylor Navas in squad list, I don't think problem for PSG against Châteauroux without having their trio attacking line.

Whether it PSG or Lens on week 18 they will faced weak opponents that while PSG have to fight against Angers but Lens also will faced easy match against Strasbourg and these teams currently at relegation zone and it's very difficult for them to win from PSG and Lens so i am sure they can able to beat their opponents without any problem especially PSG that probably they will going to win the match with 2 goals margin or more because Angers was so weak this season even they had spend 9 latest matches without a single winning and 4 difference points is not comfortable for PSG so they shouldn't be slipped again because besides Lens other teams such as Marseille also has successfully to improved their performance and not impossible to chasing PSG points

If you look at the H2H statistics for the last 5 matches between Lens vs Strasbourg, on paper Strasbourg is very superior with 3 wins, while Lens only won 1 time and the rest were draws. This proves that the history of the meeting between the two has always belonged to Strasbourg, it's no wonder that PSG, which is so strong, is having a hard time winning over Strasbourg.

The lens itself will play the following week's match against Strasbourg, capitalizing on the victory from Paris Saint Germain and with their weak opponents this week, it will also be an easy win for them. Just like Angers, Strasbourg is also a Ligue 1 team, they are only 1 level above Angers who are bottom of the relegation zone. I think the gap in points between Paris Saint Germain and Lens will remain the same after the 18th week.

When PSG had difficulties they played against 11 while they were 10 people at that time because Neymar was sent off by the referee. Strasbourg is still very bad for their defense.
I think it will be an easy win for Lens with the state Strasbourg is in now. They are still in a bad condition, their defense is still very messy so it is very difficult for them to face Lens with Lens' current condition with high self-confidence and good goal productivity.

Even if strasbourg would be given surprise to the another team but i think that if lens will still far superior compared with strasbourg. I think it doesn't matter how hard strasbroug will try but im sure that if lens will be defeating it without any problem. Lens is far superior compared with strasbourg. I think that stras will not make a lot of surprises against lens. Lens will take the point easily like when it was against PSG. Lens is far stronger compared with PSG.

Even if strasbourg would be given surprise to the another team but i think that if lens will still far superior compared with strasbourg. I think it doesn't matter how hard strasbroug will try but im sure that if lens will be defeating it without any problem. Lens is far superior compared with strasbourg. I think that stras will not make a lot of surprises against lens. Lens will take the point easily like when it was against PSG. Lens is far stronger compared with PSG.

But in the previous match PSG had a lot of trouble against Strasbourg, even PSG's victory had to go through the white point in the final minutes. Plus Neymar also got a red card which made him feel frustrated. Maybe it's better for Lens to be vigilant when they meet Strasbourg later, this is a team full of surprises when they meet opponents who are far superior.

The next game will be easier for PSG to win, because PSG will be against the last ranked team in Ligue1, namely Angers. Even without Messi, PSG can still win if the opponent is Angers, because that is a team that has had very bad performances this season so it won't be so difficult for PSG. And that match could also be an opportunity for PSG to widen the points gap with Lens again if Lens does not win in the next match.

The good "welcome" gesture they had for Messi was a very important one. PSG is a French club, and there are many French players, namely Mbappe as the best one playing at PSG. They could have been hating him all this time all he knew, because his team got the world cup title and not France, so who knows how they felt.

But, they have shown true professionalism and applauded him and welcomed him very warmly, and that is definitely an important thing to show that the team is one as a unit and whatever happens at national teams stays at national teams. I believe this is going to be very important for their future, they will probably get a lot more success with this chemistry.

PSG must now take every upcoming match seriously. Their main responsibility now is to continue the winning streak. All the players of the team have already joined the team and are preparing themselves for the next matches.

I don't see anything crisis happening in the PSG camp at the moment, there's no need to worry. after all, now all the PSG players have joined the team. as for PSG's defeat against Lens, it was a natural thing to happen. a stronger team will not always win in every match, after all Neymar and Messi were absent in the match.

IMO, there is no stronger challenger in Ligue 1 they will progress smoothly in their next matches. in fact, Galtier could make a benchmark when PSG had to be humiliated by Lens. as a coach, Galtier could see how it would be when PSG did not play its core starting line-up. Galtier, too, can correct his defense and fix every weakness in his squad. and I'm sure Galtier understands that very well. actually PSG's biggest challenge is not Ligue 1 but against Bayern in the round of 16 later. meaning, Galtier will focus more on improving his squad and preparing for the match vs Bayern.

PSG must now take every upcoming match seriously. Their main responsibility now is to continue the winning streak. All the players of the team have already joined the team and are preparing themselves for the next matches.

The World Cup best Lionel Messi has already joined the PSG team in training. In the next match, PSG will play with the full strength of their attack. So it is expected that they will be able to secure victory in the next match.

PSG got first loss in this season from Lens and the attacking line not completed with after Neymar and Lionel Messi absent, seems PSG can't have consistency performance without having trio tandem in attacking line. Lionel Messi have returning back to the team after World Cup and Neymar have finish punishment after receiving red card.

Up next match PSG will play on French Cup round 64 and I don't think with Lionel Messi make his debut after returning to the team last few days, actually Christophe Galtier will use second players composition to this competition and preparing for next match Anger on Thursday, January 12.

Well, for a long time there has been a hegemony of PSG, so the first place is no longer debatable, because it is always PSG, but I think that in this case the best lineup has is Marseille, I see it well and It is a team that when they say they play very well7, they do it in a spectacular way, but nevertheless I have been seeing some not very good behaviors, they are somewhat negative and the players do not believe it, and that is something negative, when they play against PSG it is as if they had too much respect for them and it is not something that is good, they should lose that respect and play one on one, without lowering their heads, that is why I have more expectations about Marseille than any other.


It is that this happens, at least I know that Mbappé with Messi and Ney the relationship is not very good, I think it can be strictly professional, however they must understand each other in their team to be able to have good results, but the combination Messi + Ney is enough how to get PSG forward without any problem, and taking into account that between Messi and Mbappé there is a disagreement that became evident in the final, that is something that is not forgotten, with Ney it is obvious that there will always be, but the quality Ney's is too big to be tarnished by Mbappé, these things will always spread in football and the mere fact that Ney and Messi are South Americans adds much more to Mbappé's pique.

And here it becomes clear:

5 things we noticed about Lionel Messi's return to PSG, including Kylian Mbappe's absence

It is evident that envy exists at all levels, it is something normal, it is like that everywhere, now, I am not satisfied with this, if France had been champion and Mbappé had won the Champion's gait, I am sure Messi would have done. been there and happy anyway to honor an Mbappé.

That is what I wanted to say. It was not easy for PSG to get a win against Strasbourg. If Strasbourg can give a strong fight against PSG, they will do it against Lens.
Lenz having won psg last week may feel superior and not be vigilant and Strasbourg will take them by surprise.
That match wi be an interesting one but Lenz has the upper hand to win.
