Liverpool part is questionable to me. First of all we all know that Mbappe wants to leave for Real Madrid, that is not a news, because he talked about wanting to play for them for a very very long time. Secondly, it would be a ton of money to get him, doesn't mean that he won't be sold, but does Liverpool have that much money?

I do not remember any time Liverpool spent that much money on a single player, usually they try to get players for cheap, and play them for a very long time. Getting a player for that much money on top of having him want to leave for another team would be a very difficult situation for them, it doesn't look that much possible that much.

You are right that one way to prove it is to ask the experts. Because if you ask them yourself, of course they will defend themselves from each side. However, if what Galtier said is true as what happened on the field, it means that the referee's decision was really too fast and made one side lose, in this case Paris Saint Germant. But on the other hand, it's difficult for the referee on the pitch because he has to make decisions.

yes I also agree with you Mbape is a young and talented player maybe because he is still young so his attitude is so arrogant. in my view of the draw against Reims, PSG without Messi seems very uneasy playing, minimal creation, frustrated reaction as if running out of ways to score goals. How vital is Messi's role as an individual and the psychological impact on the team. Messi is the soul of PSG.

Well, I meant that PSG practically has the French league for sure, they have no rival that is at a level like theirs (until now it has seemed that way to me) in fact that is why I have a lot of faith in Marseille, for me the league Francesa means a lot to PSG, but I think they are aiming at the UCL, they want to get rid of the thorn they have from last season in how they were eliminated, where they brought a lot of criticism and where they almost finished off Ney, Messi, Mbappé, and that. It is something that marked them a lot, all over the world it was said that the Sheikh could not win the UCL with all the money in the world or with the best players in the world.


I think the same, I think that Mbappé never thought that he was going to be alone without Messi's support, or that he was just going to shine, and now Neymar is playing in a much more professional way with a more mature and focused tint, not so long ago theater to get free kicks, he is a more complete player, and it is as you say Neymar is a player who has been lonely for a long time, and he does not need as much help from the team, he only needs to have the ball that he solves, I think that the PSG coach He blocks it, if it were only for Ney he would take the players by himself showing off (typical Brazilian style), now with a great player like Haaland Mbappé may think that his status trembles, because it is not to deny that he will have the Sheikh in his sights to drag him to PSG, and with all the money he has, it is possible that he can enter into negotiations, despite the fact that he is Pep Guardiola's right-hand man at Man City, in addition to the statements he gave, that it was unusual, that Pep himself said he was furious with Haaland because he only scored 1 goal instead of 3, that says a lot.


I keep thinking something, for me Marseille has a great chance of winning, if they believe it they can rise above PSG, it is also an advantage that PSG does not have Messi, already at this point the whole team knows that Messi He is a very comprehensive player, who is capable of helping in defense, that is something that South American players possess, as well as Neymar, I have rarely seen Mbbapé come down to help defense, Mbappé is a good shooter and dribbler, but as the team is already engaged with the style of Ney+Messi and Mbappé, if one of those engines fails it will be interesting, since as they have said, Ney is somewhat lonely, and Mbappé will not lean on Ney even though they are in the team. same team, what comes next will be more interesting.

In another order of ideas, I have seen in some entertainment news on social networks that possibly PSG is weighing the possibility of bringing together the two greatest players of these times, yes, Messi and CR7, it is said that they are talking to him representative of CR7 because definitely for this summer it is possible that they want to acquire it, the Portuguese wants to participate in the UCL and win it, apparently that's what they say, I don't know if it was just rumours.

This is also rumoured:

Well many things can happen, you just have to be aware of how true these things are.

In order to prove that Ramos insulted the referee or not, I think it is necessary to involve an expert in reading mouth movements like what happened to Materazzi and Zidane in the 2006 world cup. Galtier has taken a wise move by defending his players although it is not yet known what exactly came out of Ramos mouth. The language barrier became the right reason for Galtier to explain the case that happened to Ramos to the media crew. But Ramos red card cost PSG a lot as they failed to get full points from a team that should be very easy to beat.

After Ten rounds, things are very interesting as many teams are fail to give their best and struggling badly, but we have two teams which are surely at their best and have good chance for staying into top ranks for few more weeks because they have now better performance and can do better than current level now in 11th round we have PSG vs Marseille which is surely going to be one of the best match with Rennes is going to host Lyon which is currently at their worst level with four defeats and one draw.

Lorient is surely one of the best performer in this season because their last season rank was 16, and now they are at second spot which is surely the biggest shock for French soccer community and if Marseille able to have any positive result against leaders PSG then surely the biggest beneficiary could be Lorient as they could be at the top of league table.

For all my dislike of Neymar, I must say that you are wrong about him - he is great at passing and not as greedy as Mbappe. In Ligue 1, he currently has 8 goals and just one assist less -7.
As for Mbappe, everything happens as I expected. Mbappe understands that now everyone is talking only about Haaland and that he is the future top 1. I think Mbappe's hysteria will soon reach a new level and we will learn a lot more from him 

What we have to draw from the rumors about Mbappe's criticism, nothing at all. from my point of view, he's just frustrated with the draw against Reims. as a result, he was just looking for excuses as his failure could not score a goal in that match.
luckily Galtier gave him a defense, he said it was natural because the situation was hot.
Unfortunately for a player of Mbappe's level, he shouldn't criticize Galtier's policies on social media. he should have revealed it during a training session if it wasn't to his liking.
Mbappe is a good player and very talented, but unfortunately his attitude will give him a bad image.

Mbappe is becoming very arrogant. He should respect his team coach and teammates. He is still young. He has more talented and experienced players in the squad. Messi, Neymar, and Ramos are much more experienced than Mbappe. However, Mbappe should not clash with coach Galtier. He cannot criticize an experienced and senior coach like Galtier. Mbappe should be patient and learn manners. Otherwise, his career will not be very long. Moreover, Mbappe's performance this season is not as good as expected. Haaland is regularly scoring goals and assists. But Mbappe scored 8 goals in 9 matches and did not provide an assist.

The media has again reported the latest news about mbappe, I just read that mbappe criticized the tactics used by galtier against reims but galtier said it was legal. it seems that the super-large salary has made mbappe's ego peak, without messi's presence, it is clear that there is little support for mbappe, neymar will not do much to help mbappe on the front lines because neymar is also a lone striker.

so it was probably just a misunderstanding too ?? i was so confused to see the referee pull out the red card that fast in the face of Ramos, i'm not saying that a player can insult a referee but the referee could have warned him and stepped up, pulling a red card for every insult would end most matches in 3-0 awarded games, talking to Ramos to apologize would have been a good decision to give him a chance to take it back.

I think this is just a misunderstanding, Galtier has explained to the media that Ramos didn't mean to insult the referee, this was just a matter of language

The decision taken by the referee looked very rushed, fortunately PSG was not defeated by Reims because they only played with 10 colors, if not then lorient would be at the top of the standings

No one has any doubt about Marseille as they are second-best club in French League but sadly after having amazing start of this season now in last three matches they already lost five points, and now they are going to face leaders PSG which is surely the biggest challenge for them if they fail to have any positive result from this match then surely they are going to slip at fourth spot as few teams are performing good and have better results in last few matches which are giving them better spot.

Losing at home against AC Ajaccio a shocking result, and now they must have to fight back otherwise Monaco and Lens both are on positive run which can give them good challenge until end of this season.

It can happen that is why i feel Galtier should be careful not to hurt Mbappe's feelings too much
After he signed this last contract it became an unhealthy relationship, i feel psg did too much to try to keep him, they should have let him choose for himself, from his heart, but they did too much to influence his decision and now they have formed a player who thinks he is bigger than the team and he can disrespect anyone, how do psg think they can use such a player to win the champions league, he may be a quality player, but if he can't be controlled by the coach then he can't work well for the team.
Yeah he can't leave this season, but he may leave soon, when both him and the club are fed up of each other .

I don't think that  Christophier is using Mbappe out of position. If there is anyone to lament of position, it should be Messi or Neymar because both of them are sometimes drawn into the midfield any day the team is not playing 4-3-3c. Mbappe's position has been his position and he has been doing well there.

@Z-tight, I doubt that anyone can force Mbappe out of PSG, rather it will be the players that will leave for Mbappe. The young footballer has been made a king and it is rare for someone to leave kingship to where he will become ordinary player. The money is much, the honour is much, his ego is much, he cannot therefore leave all easily.

This isn't some "either / or" type of situation for PSG, they could easily beat anyone in Ligue 1, and still focus on UCL at the same time. I mean even their bench players without any of the starting eleven should be good enough for a top half of the league finish, let alone playing all the great names in the club during these games as well. Sure some players take a rest like Messi because he is getting older and they would want to use him for UCL instead.

But, we are talking about something that is very very big deal when it comes to Ligue 1 as well, they may fail UCL because so many great teams, but they have to win Ligue 1 because that’s the only guaranteed thing for them.

Sergio Ramos' getting that red card made PSG enter a problematic condition against Reims indeed. But at least he doesn't get red cards too often these days.    We are still at the beginning of the season of course and we will see how aggressive he will continue to be. He is still a solid defender aside from that. Maybe PSG might even convince him to retire here depending on his consistency.

PSG have a big chance to open the gap with Marseille even more this week. Because PSG are hosting them this week and I don't think Marseille can steal any point in this match. I know that both of them will compete in the Champions League before their duel but I don't think that PSG's concentration level would be lower against Marseille after that. PSG's target has always been to capture a solid advantage in the league as early as possible.

The game was just what I could describe as a collateral damage to my stake as psg could not even clinged a 1 goal irrespective of just one man down almost to the end of the first half. For a team like reims psg wasn't supposed to feel shoked with the kind of the calibers of players they have.
It's just obvious that they were having it in mind to get a draw even before the start of the game and not because they were just on one man down.

Marseille plate well in the last season. They finished second in the last season. And till now they have also performed well. But if they keep losing the matches that they really need to be winning I don't think they will be able to stay in the top 3 positions. Generally, a club wants to improve their performance. Marseille finished second in the last season and they should really be thinking about how to beat PSG and go to the top position to win the Ligue 1 title. Or at least not drop from the second position.

But sometimes they are a little too inconsistent. The last match should have been 3 points for them. And now they are going to face PSG in the next match. That is certainly not going to be 3 points for Marseille as well.

Reims was lucky enough to be able to hold PSG to a draw in week 10, Reims became the second temporary team that managed to make PSG fail to win full points after Monaco, although this failure did not affect PSG position in the standings but at least this shows that there are still teams that can frustrate PSG In ligue 1, I actually didn't expect Reims to be able to hold back PSG, especially seeing PSG dominance in Ligue 1 but it turned out that Reims was able to surprise PSG though throughout the match PSG was able to suppress Reims,  I saw that losing Messi actually made PSG seem to lose their sharpness in the front lines and that is evident from the statistics which show that PSG are only able to create a few chances in that match.
