It's true that the roles of Messi and Neymar in PSG's attack line are very important, especially if it's just Mbappe, everything seems impossible to win. But when talking about PSG this shouldn't be a problem for them, it's just that when PSG face Lens, we know the closest competitor in the standings, of course it will be very difficult for PSG to win. But with this result, it is hoped that Messi and Neymar can immediately strengthen PSG again and of course they must immediately evaluate the results of the match so they don't concede any more points.
Evaluating the results of matches that have occurred when Neymar and Messi were not present is very important for PSG, because PSG's closest competitors such as Lens will continue to try to get closer if PSG lose another match this season. Even though PSG haven't been overtaken by Lens in the standings at this point, at least PSG can make their distance again so they can live each game more relaxed and not have too much pressure when the point gap has been made again.

And I think everyone knows that.
By the way, about PSG versus Lens match actually, I did not think that PSG was going to lose this match. But PSG did not play well in this match. The score is PSG 1 – 3 Lens. That was a little unexpected end score for me. But the thing is PSG is still at the top of the table and now you know, they have Lionel Messi back in the team from holidays. So, they are going to be much more aggressive and destructive in the next match.

Psg can do nothing without its trio. that's why psg never won ucl caused by it had a very weak team that was always relying on the some players. this must be the most important thing to be considered by psg as a constructive critism. I can imagine once neymar and messi got injured at the same time and psg will be nothing.

PSG had to lose the match due to the absence of two attacking players. It was the second match after the World Cup break. Messi did not return to PSG after winning the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. After Neymar got a red card in the first match, he could not play this match. PSG were missing Messi and Neymar after conceding 3 goals. Mbappe and Hakimi were also seen in a very helpless state. Kylian Mbappe could not shine in this match without Neymar and Messi. All in all, PSG had to lose without Messi and Neymar.
So, mbappe itself can do nothing in that match, right? that proves that if pag was not so strong as people said. The fact that psg is still having bunch of world class players played for the club like sergio ramos. i think that messi and neymar could not be an excuse. PSG must accept the fact that if it has been defeated bu lens. i think that since psg was losing against lens was making me feel more comfortable to pick bayern over psg. it seems like that mbappe was an overrated players at this moment. he was getting shine due to the world cup.
Psg was relying with messi and neymar which is very hilarious.
They accepted it as their coach immediately after the game ended in the press conference said that we did not deserve anything better tonight as we did not give our 100% of condition and losing this game was the most natural result that you saw that happened.
Lens of course was much more motivated as this was a life and death game so they needed to win this game at all cost and they did win it.If they did not manage to win it they would be 8 or 10 points behind Paris and if that was the case with only half the season remaining then it would have been impossible for them to dream for a Ligue 1 title this year.They can still dream now because mathematics permit it to them.
@swogerino a lot is being made of Mbappe’s failure, but he has done a lot for PSG already and the other 10 player’s also should be blamed for PSG losing this match. Furthermore in a way I’m glad that he’s being rested now, because after the World Cup loss I’m sure that he needs time to be psychologically ready and once he’s back I’m sure that he’ll score many goals and help PSG win many matches.

From this match it has been cleared that messi and Neymar are key player for PSG win, because in Thier absence the world cup Qatar golden boot winner kylian mbappe didn't perform like we expect from him, mbappe was helpless to score because the support which Messi and Neymar provide him didn't get. Any how it's big win for Lens to dominate a big team like PSG but this defeat didn't effect the point table because still PSG are on top. At the end mbappe has to learn play without Messi and Neymar because Incase if were injured then it will be difficult for him.On the other hand, this is also not an individual game, so it is only relying on and focusing on Mbappe alone for PSG. I think that is unethical because this is a team's defeat, not an individual's. But indeed the absence of several core players in the PSG squad clearly had a considerable impact even though they lost to Lens, which incidentally is a team that is strong enough for this season, but still, when compared to PSG, the difference is quite striking.

The match was quite exciting and I like PSG's defeat in this match.
But on the other hand I see one thing now, PSG are a good team but on the other hand the absence of some of their core players clearly makes the difference and of course Mbappe cannot fend for himself in this match. Regardless it's an embarrassing defeat but I love this.
If you like the defeat suffered by PSG, that is the right for every other team fan or spectator who may place bets for other teams. But I don't think it was a very embarrassing defeat because PSG was beaten at home to Lens with several key players absent from the game. So this is not embarrassing enough for PSG and is still in a very reasonable category because PSG themselves know where the mistake lies.But on the other hand I see one thing now, PSG are a good team but on the other hand the absence of some of their core players clearly makes the difference and of course Mbappe cannot fend for himself in this match.

Yes, this defeat can hardly be called "important" - nothing has changed in the tournament sense and PSG still have a comfortable advantage over all other clubs. But given the fact that this is a defeat from Lance, which is in second place, this is undoubtedly a blow to the pride of PSG, which already believes in its invulnerability. By the way, it is curious that Lance also has only one defeat and fewer goals conceded than PSG. It would be nice if Lance continued to play successfully and keep a semblance of intrigue for as long as possible.

To be honest, I only watched this fight only one round. It's clear, right, without his Trio partners, Mbapee couldn't do much in that match.in fact, the course of the game is pretty even. PSG didn't really dominate the game, that's why PSG's defense line helped press the front line. fatal, when Lens gets a counterattack. PSG's defense was too late to return to its original position. in the end, PSG conceded and had to admit defeat to the home team.
So, we can see that without Neymar and Messi, Mbappe is really struggling to score his goals. I think here Mbappe has to learn that without his colleagues he is very difficult. Furthermore, PSG can no longer lose their points because after all PSG must widen their points so they can focus more on the Champions League. fortunately, in the next match Messi was confirmed to have joined the team. and Angers are not a difficult opponent for them to overthrow, after all this match is their home game.

It will also not be so easy for Marseille because the Marseille team must expect two defeats at the Lens team besides Marseille who must always win in the match. And on the one hand we also have to look at the opponents they face in the rest of the season, because that is the basis for them to continue to get up to get a better position and stay there for the long term. Because for the top of the standings I am still very sure that PSG will dominate it even though I lost to Lens yesterday.
One other thing, Lens can still lose against other teams for the rest of this season even if in the last 17 matches they have only suffered 1 defeat, 4 draws and 12 wins. So considering that this season is still long, I think Marseille and Lens and PSG will definitely be very tight in fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. But I'm sure PSG can maintain their dominance again this season despite their recent bad loss from Lens.

PSG have finally lost a game in the league this season. Lens's win is not a big surprise to me at all. The hosts at their stadium won all 9 matches, and in yesterday's match they confirmed their high form this season. However, I doubt if Lens will be able to maintain such a disposition until the end of the season. However, I keep my fingers crossed for this to happen and the fight for the championship title lasted until the last matches. Today, Olympique Marseille, which is in third place, has a chance to reduce the gap to the leader. OM is playing away game with very mediocre Montpellier, so it's very likely that they will take 3 points.
I am going to say that this result was a little unexpected for me. But at the same time, it was not very surprising as well. You know, PSG did not have a lot of important players available in this match. So it makes total sense that they lost this much.
But the problem is Lens have done well in this match and they have on this matter convincingly. This is a quite rare thing to see for any team in Ligue 1 to do against PSG. But this is not going to cost PSG too much because they are still at the top of the table. And I still have no doubt that they are going to be the winner of the league anyway.

I'm predicting that by the end of the season Marseille will be ahead of Lens, the results so far are favoring Lens but I doubt Lens can maintain those good results for long, Marseille on the other hand has a better team and I can see them keeping a high level throughout the whole season, unlike Lens who probably will stumble upon some hard time and the positive streak will come to an end.

Marseille have started to maintain a reliable performance again. Their effort against Montpellier was just delightful honestly. Tavares is also doing pretty good since he has joined Marseille. He scored his 5th goal in 16 games in the Ligue 1. Lens are also continuing to win on one hand maybe but this effort is still important for Marseille to keep up with them.
Because we never know how long Lens will be able to maintain this level. Their huge win over PSG reassured people more about their determination though but we will see.

When I saw that PSG lost what I did first was to check the line up and noticed that Ney wasn't in the line up due to red card and Messi wasn't around which I don't know if he is still resting from world cup. Only Mbappe could not do it.
I heard that Mbappe is now granted a leave which I belive he needs
Such bad results will make him unsure about how far the club can go in Champions League and whether it worth staying in PSG or not.. I heard that Mbappe is now granted a leave which I belive he needs
For the other games, it is incredible how Strasbourg is performing this season, very poorly.. Lille missed 2 points, Nice lost vs Rennes and Marseille got their 3 points.
Overall, the resistance of Lens is impressive and the European competition spots are challenging since the number of points isn't that big between these teams.
