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

I think that all the teams in the French league were able to reveal what PSG's weak point is, they cannot do anything without their stars, the fact that Ney earned his red card and not having played affected them, Mbappé is not a god He can't do much, he's a very good player but he still can't do that much, Lens was masterful, I like when this team or these teams beat the greats, because they gain confidence, they believe it and they see that the teams Those who are first in the table can end their hegemony, not every day they are the same, even if all the stars are playing, they can lose the same.
But anyway Lens has succeeded with its mission for 3 very important points to keep close. A natural defeat for PSG this week and I think Lens have improved too over the course of the competition. Now that PSG only has a 4-point advantage, they may not easily let go of that advantage to 1 point with a loss in their next match. In PSG's next match Neymar and Messi will be back, it will be a good boost after the 3-1 defeat to Lens.Furthermore, Mbappe and Hakimi will not play with PSG in the next two matches after Christophe Galtier gave them time off after the World Cup. Mbappe isn't really a king without other players helping him, that's been proven to be true.

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.

Montpellier 1 - 2 Marseille
I did an analysis of this game and then I left home and I forgot to bet on Marseille, they have been performing well and in the last few games they managed to win in 3 and draw in 1 game, so they were the favorites in this game and playing against Montpellier, which is an unstable team that came into this game with 2 draws, a win and a defeat, so I already imagined that they would lose in that game, but I didn't place a bet so I didn't make any profit, a real pity, I feel irritated
Lille 1 - 1 Reims
before starting that game I looked at him and told myself that I wouldn't bet, it was a very unpredictable game given that these two teams don't have consistency, Reims comes from a lot of draws, in the last 4 games they had 3 draws while Lille there was a draw and 2 wins and 1 loss, this was a propitious scenario for us to see a draw in this game, I'm glad I didn't place any bets on this game
Strasbourg 2 - 3 Troyes
wow this was a game in which there were many goals, Troyes were the favorites to win this game in my opinion, they came into this game with 2 defeats and 2 draws in the last 4 games, while their opponent Strasbourg was also in the same situation, they came into this game with 2 defeats and 2 draws, I confess that I didn't expect to see so many goals

Lens team showed us very well yesterday that furball is a team game. The PSG team may be a group of stars, but yesterday they lost 3-1 to Lens on the road. Messi did not play because he was tired. With this win, Lens made 40 points and reduced the point difference with Psg to 4. By the end of the year, Psg will probably be the champion, but I think the football played by Lens should be appreciated. Because it is a fact that PSG is far behind in terms of budget.
based on statistical data that I have seen, currently Lens is ranked 8th in ligue 1 as the team with the most squad value while PSG is in first place, so I also see that the defeat that happened to PSG doesn't make sense. One more defeat, Lens will definitely shift PSG's position. in another match, the match between nice vs rennes is in progress, the current score is still 1-1. 
January 02, 2023, 03:24:02 PM
we saw a lot of goals in today's games. to start with strasbourg-troyes, strasbourg were the better and more dominant side but they couldn't find the goals they were hoping for. it's a pity for them because the points lost here could be very valuable for them in the future. As for the lille-reims game, lille played better as the hosts but they also struggled to take advantage of their positions. they had to settle for a draw with a second half goal. marseille made no mistakes in a week when psg lost points and took 3 points away from home. it was actually a good game and they kept their claim.

Undoubtedly, the match of the week in France was played between Lens and Paris Saint-Germain. Frankly, I thought Paris Saint-Germain would win the match, but Lens managed to take the lead at the beginning of the match by scoring a fantastic goal with an organized attack. The goal in the 5th minute of the match upset all the plans of Paris Saint-Germain. Then, critical mistakes by the Paris Saint-Germain defense and the great support of Lens fans took the game to a different point... Also, I don't want to go without saying that I really liked Seko Fofana's performance in this match. He gave a really impressive performance.
Lens has had a fantastic start to the season, and I expect at least a draw in the match, but it will end in their favor due to their hard work.Lens has only lost one match this season, against Lile in the League One competition, and they are currently second in the League One table, four points behind PSG. They have hopes of finishing in the top three of the league, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, because they are very dedicated and play very good football.

It was a fateful game for Lens and he won it. Any loss of points would have led to a widening gap in the championship race and perhaps a loss of mental strength. Their win both reduced the gap and renewed their hopes. PSG also lost a game after a long time. We can say that the league started to get a bit more exciting after this match. PSG didn't play badly but it's worth noting that they couldn't capitalize on the positions they found.
Paris Saint-Germain FC were defeated for the first time in the league this season. If Messi had played in this match, things might have been different. Because the matches where Paris Saint-Germain FC lost points this season were the matches that he did not play. Messi had not been played in the Reims and Benfica games, and Paris Saint-Germain FC had lost points in those games. I attribute the excuse of this match to his absence. Paris Saint-Germain FC continue their league leadership with 44 points. Lens also solidified their second place with 40 points. Lens made a New Year's surprise with this result, and Paris Saint-Germain FC entered the new year with disappointment. I think this match will remain as an exception and Paris Saint-Germain FC will be the champions at the end of the season.
PSG is already built for the front three. Now they are without 2 players and that's why they have problems. We have seen that it's not enough to have only mbappe playing. If a game plan had been drawn accordingly, we would have seen a different result yesterday. I think this match was a lesson for psg, so they saw where they were lacking. For Lens, it was a completely important match. They reduced the points difference to 4 and showed that they are in the race. This match was not only a title race but also a match in which they overturned psg's unbeaten record.
I think that all the teams in the French league were able to reveal what PSG's weak point is, they cannot do anything without their stars, the fact that Ney earned his red card and not having played affected them, Mbappé is not a god He can't do much, he's a very good player but he still can't do that much, Lens was masterful, I like when this team or these teams beat the greats, because they gain confidence, they believe it and they see that the teams Those who are first in the table can end their hegemony, not every day they are the same, even if all the stars are playing, they can lose the same.
Here it is evidenced:
Kylian Mbappe granted leave by Christophe Galtier after humbling PSG defeat
Quote
Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi have both been handed "a few days off" after PSG 's shock loss to Lens.
The Ligue 1 leaders won on their return from the World Cup, seeing off Strasbourg, but were undone by their nearest challengers four days later. Mbappe, fresh from his heartbreak in Qatar, was among the star-studded cast who were beaten in Lens.
PSG conceded after four minutes before levelling the contest, but then conceded twice to lose 3-1, which has seen their gap at the top trimmed to four points. Mbappe was without Neymar or Lionel Messi alongside him and will now take some time out as the games continue to come thick and fast.

The defeat that PSG recently experienced was due to several of its flagship players not being included in the squad. Mbappe has to fend for himself due to the absence of Neymar and Messi on the PSG front line. Conceding three goals due to not being able to build a strong defense, PSG played like a bottom team that was not aiming. As a result of this defeat, PSG is closer to Lens, now PSG is only 4 points ahead with Lens who is in second place.
And this can also argue that PSG has no rivals in Ligue 1. Some people even say Ligue 1 is a farmers' league, but Lens really proves that anyone can compete at the top even though PSG is known as the most dominating team right now. Lens' success in defeating PSG is inseparable from their good defense and attack. Those two things put them ahead of PSG during the match even though PSG actually had more goal chances.Yes, now the two teams are only 4 points gap, but it looks like PSG will step on the gas again after Neymar and Messi return to the team in the next match. There's nothing wrong about losing, but it was a shocked.

The first half so far is very intriguing. Lance was able to score a quick goal, but Psg answered just as quickly. Now the score is 2-1, but the second half is still ahead. I also think that PSG will not win this match, although they can shoot as well as Lance. For me, this game, as expected, is really interesting. The teams are attacking, there are already a lot of goals. I hope the game will be no less interesting.
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.
January 02, 2023, 01:35:22 PM
Judging from the current line-up and the bench registered in this match, there is no Messi's name there because he will only return after the new year and the time does not allow him to play now even though he is already in Paris.
But now it will be even more interesting, I think without the presence of Messi and Neymar, will PSG still be able to get 3 points.

PSG are still safe at the top of the standings even though they dropped points last night against Lens and of course that doesn't make the PSG team discouraged because they didn't play with a full squad team, so yesterday's defeat made PSG have to improve so they don't lose points in the next game, Lens can just overtook PSG at the top of the standings because they are only 4 points apart
The opportunity for Lens to overtake PSG at the top of the standings does exist because the point gap for the two teams is very close, but Lens needs to hope for two more defeats at PSG because if PSG only loses once more and Lens is able to win again in the next game, PSG will still be on top standings and Lens still has to be in second place in the standings. And this seems to be a little difficult for Lens as well considering that PSG can still be consistent in the next match.Because, PSG would beat everyone anyway and be the winner. I personally believe that the best thing here for Lens is to focus on staying as second since that would give them a lot of money and a bit of wiggle room to get great players with that much money in the long run and they could become much better as well.

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.

This is what I have been waiting for, namely the defeat of Paris Siant Germain to their competitors. Lens did a good job in this match and managed to beat Paris Saint Germain with quite a promising score. A good first step for Lens who can reduce his points acquisition with Paris Siant GErmain to 4 points. If they (Lens) are able to maintain their game and consistency, I'm sure they will be a real threat to Paris Saint Germain from now on.To be honest, before this match started, I doubted Lens would be able to win this match because of the difference in the quality of the two teams, also Lens had an unsatisfactory result in the previous match by only getting a draw. But they were able to silence my doubts about them.

If i am to be honest here i had not noticed how good Lens have been this season until they beat psg yesterday, all the talk in the Ligue 1 discussion has all been about psg, but Lens have been just as good as them, the both teams have lost only one game each and Lens are only 4 points behind, for now they are in the title race, maybe later on they will be out of it, but for now they are the closest to psg and they are competing with them for the title, even beat them yesterday. It is hard to imagine, but i wish for Lens to win the title, i am tired of psg winning it every season.
With a difference of four points there is still a possibility for Lens to win the title, yesterday without Neymar and Messi PSG should have been able to at least draw but the counter attacks Lens players are dangerous, especially Openda this guy is very fast and can make the best of opportunities. The situation at the Estadio Bollaert-Delelis also be advantage Lens yesterday, they have never draw or lost at home this season.but PSG's defeat to Lens without Lionel Messi and Neymar, this defeat is the first defeat in all competitions since March 20 last year, and for a difference of 4 points in my opinion it is not easy for Lens because for the next game Lionel Messi and Neymar will play again, and continue their unbeaten record.
Even if Messi was with them with that kind of game play yesterday it was only natural them to lose the game.Their coach admitted it openly that we didn't gave it 100% on the pitch so we could not get any better result than this.I think that PSG has not lost anything at all,they are still 4 points ahead in a league where they dominate it completely and the team that they lost to was the second team which was 6 or 7 points behind PSG so nothing to worry.Maybe PSG did let intentionally Lens win (not a fixed game or such absurdity) in order to make the competition good again for this Ligue 1 for this season because in the end they know they will be the Champions.

Lille team took the lead against reims after half an hour, if they manage to pull off a win they will take the fifth spot that guarante a conference league place but the game isn't over yet reims team seem a dangerous opponent that's what allowed them to be unbeaten for eight straight games .
