And with Marseille finally getting a tie, while PSG winning, it is obvious that PSG is the first and intends to stay like that. People overreacted to PSG  a lot, and they shouldn't and it wasn't such a big deal, they assumed that Marseille could win the title like Lille did a year prior, and that is obviously not going to happen at all, look at the game and the result and you will see why.

I believe that the best thing to do now would be waiting for PSG to have even more wins, and they will do fine. It is overreacted, and PSG will show the world how "rich" they are, I mean they are good, but that's mainly thanks to the money they have.

There was no intrigue regardless of Marseille's results. The chances of PSG winning the title are estimated at 1.04. Even if PSG lose a couple of matches, they won't change much. For example, Bayern, which is now far from the first place, is quoted with odds of 1.14. There is no doubt that we will see a repeat of last season.

The relationship between Neymar and Messi is obvious and with the recent high heightened behaviour of Mbappe, it will  strengthen the relationship the more. Football is cool when played among good players. The 3 are great players no doubt, but I don't know if PSG coach issued an order that when Mbappe makes a run, the ball must be passed to him. If there is no such other, his frustration cannot be justified. Football comes with alot of excitement and entertainment and it is best enjoyed when ego is removed.
Neymar and Messi had years playing together in Barcelona and it is easily for them to reconnect again in PSG. PSG become more dangerous because these players also connect well with Mbappe. They will bring a lot of goals for PSG and they will have too powerful attacking in this season.

That free kick reminds me about a legendary player of Lyon, Juninho. He is a master of free kick and in his career, Juninho scored many unbelievable goals from a similar angle like that one from Messi. The freekick of Messi is beautiful but it is not a goal because the goal keeper of Lyon rejected it.

I really liked this camera angle by the way. It made me feel like I was playing FIFA 23.  Grin

It was a wonderful free-kick by Messi and Lopes made a superb save also. We are watching Messi play very close to his times at Barcelona from now on. He is meeting the expectations by scoring goals and making assists regularly. In this match, we actually watched Neymar and Messi playing like the way they used to do at Barcelona. Mbappe couldn't do much in this match as these two players preferred to play together quite often. I hope that this didn't make Mbappe frustrated. Because he is already aware of the strong bond between them and he doesn't want to be their second option to pass the ball to. Mbappe showed an example of his frustration in a match before after not getting the pass while he was making a great run into the back of the defense of their opponent.

But what I wonder is why only one goal was created by the PSG team while in the PSG team there are so many high-class star players, while in the Olympique Lyon team it is the opposite.
Probably the only reason PSG couldn't score more goals against Lyon is for this reason

Even though Olympique Lyon looked to be playing really well to keep themselves from conceding more goals in that match,



Based on match statistics, PSG really dominated the match despite playing at Lyon home. PSG managed to get 8 Shots On Target and controlled Ball Possession up to 66%. As a result of the strong defense of Lyon, it was difficult for PSG to find additional goals in this match.

PSG beat Lyon 1-0 away from home. Obviously it was not an easy game for both sides. Of course PSG was the heavy favorite but they struggled to score against Lyon. As such, we can say that we watched an unpleasant match. They won with a goal scored by Messi in 5 minutes.
Lens team is doing very well. They are one of the 3 undefeated teams in 8 weeks. Their next match is against lyon. A decisive and important match for them.

We watched a Paris SG team that struggled but won. Considering that Marseille lost 2 points this week, they left behind a week where they gained 5 points. This week, the league was suspended due to the Nations League matches. Players will have extra rest. Let's see what we will watch in the league matches that will continue later.

There have been a few problems Marseille have had lately. the hectic schedule made the players tired, and several suffered injuries as a result Marseille was difficult to continue their positive trend in Ligue 1. however, the draw against Rennes did not make Marsille lose his ranking.

Unlike the squad made by Galtier, I never doubted SPG to win the title this season. they are much better than all the teams that played in Ligue 1, just look at how they always dominate the game.
Messi has always been a decisive factor for SPG's victory, I'm not talking about how rich the PSG owner is. but more to the PSG players themselves, I hope that at least Galtier is able to bring his squad to the champions league final.

This for me represents many things, yes, that PSG is proving that it is the best in the League (so far) there is still a long way to go, both Marseille and Lyon are pronounced to be one of the best teams that can put up a fight to PSG, it's not bad at all, this gets interesting.
Paris Saint Germain are the best in the league so far this season, and they have recorded most goals and assists in the league. The team have one of the greatest player of all time, Leo Messi. The parisians boss, Christophe Galtier so happy to manage such a big team in Ligue 1 and the players are very much informed. They will definitely lift the the league trophy with ease, through only teams that will put up a fight is Lyon and Marseille but they can't last long for the challenge. PSG are winning the cup 100% that's the level of confidence I have for the team and moreover they're rank first on the table.

For the PSG match against Nantes it was something that I thought would not happen, I thought that in Nantes I was going to do something better, for me this team was one of the ones with the best chance of beating PSG, I had it as one of the best candidates For this, however, I did not like the last games, I do not know, but now a team that seems good to PSG I see it difficult, at least for this time, I do not know which one can face it, otherwise PSG will win the French league very easy and the truth It won't be a lot of emotion, especially All for bettors, the fact that a team wins or draws PSG is synonymous that it is very good and that it can face it, but I have not seen any team with that guarantee.




Although there are some things to emphasize, I really like what the technical director said to his stars:

PSG's Messi, Neymar, Mbappe warned to accept bench role by coach Christophe Galtier

Quote
"We play a lot, every three days, then every four days, then there is the World Cup. Everyone has to understand that they won't be able to play all the games."

Sergio Ramos was also given a relative rest against Nantes, only coming on in the 62nd minute.

"Everyone has to be ready to play. The most important thing is the team. We have quality in both the starters and the substitutes," Presnel Kimpembe said.

"We have a good group. Everyone knows that. We take advantage of each other to be as good as possible."



Source: https://www.espn.co.uk/football/paris-saint-germain--frapsg/story/4738775/psgs-messi-neymar-mbappe-warned-to-accept-bench-role-by-coach-galtier

I think that these things make me give a message to Mbappé saying that the coach is the boss here and not the stars, I think it's a good thing and apart from that he is taking care of them, this coach has all my respect.
Of course the coach have every right to keep the stars on the bench if they're not fit for games. He's the boss and he selects the kind of players he wants to start games for him. Christophe Glatier is in charge of the Parisians and controlled them all, despite the contract the club offered to Kylian Mbappe when he wanted to leave for Real Madrid when they came for him. Mbappe happens to be one of the big earners in the club, although he have his decisions and obligation in the club but not bigger than the coach. The trio always do better when they played together on the pitch.


Well that's clear, also from the point of view that the coaches don't want to bring in their stars to take care of them because the proximity of the World Cup is something else, now, the Real Madrid thing for me and I think that many think that Mbappé only He stayed at PSG to want to be like the almost owner of the team and have privileges over the other players and apart from a lot of money, the club for me bet that everything would revolve around him, that's why they talk about the list of the players that he no longer wants to be on the PSG platform and practically the ones he wants are signed and he says, only for him to shine, which seems to me to be a very bad thing, because no player can be above a team in In particular, he recently said that Real Madrid felt like his home, which caused a lot of revulsion on the part of Madrid fans, they even made many memes in the form of ridicule, some Madridistas said they would never accept it.

Because he is already aware of the strong bond between them and he doesn't want to be their second option to pass the ball to. Mbappe showed an example of his frustration in a match before after not getting the pass while he was making a great run into the back of the defense of their opponent.
He has the world's highest awareness on the field, his every move is planned, every move has a logic. It's as if he stops the whole life by pressing the pause button during the match, and after deciding what to do, he presses play and continues the match. He does this as if it were a very simple, ordinary thing. An ordinary person, even if they are a professional footballer, cannot do this. Even if Messi will only pass the ball when he touches the ball, it gets people excited. I had this feeling years ago only in Ronaldinho when I was little.

Lyon did a very high level job today in terms of defense and goalkeeper. If it was any other team, Messi would have scored three goals in this match. Congratulations to Lyon's defense, they were very good. Mbappe played very disconnected from the team for this match. Neymar, yes he is very talented but he needs to keep his turnovers to a minimum. With this PSG, they will be one of the top contenders for CL, but cannot match City's level, definitely.

Well, it cannot be denied that the angle does look like it was from PS5, I have not played it, the truth is that video game is very realistic, but it is as you say, the shot was spectacular, I think that Messi despite all the criticism He remains at a high standard of the game that he always shows, however when an analysis is made of Mbappé many people agree with me, he is not playing comfortably, I think he feels that he is not with his teammates, but with his enemies.

the subject of Mapppé is very extensive, the truth is that I do not like to listen to him when he gives his press conferences, it seems very childish to me with what he says, on the other hand, as I have said in previous opinions, I have my faith in Marseille that he becomes one of the teams that best face PSG.

Lyon is playing very well, but they are missing something, that something that is like that right to win, that search for what is good, for what they deserve and that they completely lose their fear of PSG.

And with Marseille finally getting a tie, while PSG winning, it is obvious that PSG is the first and intends to stay like that. People overreacted to PSG  a lot, and they shouldn't and it wasn't such a big deal, they assumed that Marseille could win the title like Lille did a year prior, and that is obviously not going to happen at all, look at the game and the result and you will see why.

I believe that the best thing to do now would be waiting for PSG to have even more wins, and they will do fine. It is overreacted, and PSG will show the world how "rich" they are, I mean they are good, but that's mainly thanks to the money they have.

Yes, the path can be seen very clearly for PSG, but I think that at this point they would not trust me in the slightest, Marseille have very good technique, they have good players, apart from that they have a coach who wants to win and to spoil the party for PSG, it has a lot going for it, I don't think it will be disappointed for not being first, sometimes this type of experience is good to make them step on the ground as it is and prepare better in this league, I don't want to see one a league totally dominated by a PSG that shows everything, good players + money, who not only think of the UCL but also think of the league as a way that they have to fight and try much harder than the previous season.



I like how ESPN says things, apart from capturing a good image where Messi is very happy and Mbappé with a smiling face but not satisfied:



Personally, I expected much more from Vitinha, he is a good midfielder, I was struck by the fact that he spoke and said the following:

Quote
"I'm satisfied with the result but not with the performance. We could have played better. There's a lot of room for improvement," the Portuguese said. "We should have controlled the match better in the second half and we should have had more chances with the possession we had."

PSG dealt surprisingly easily with Olympique Lyon. The 1-0 result does not fully reflect the advantage that the team from Paris had in this match. Certainly, a goal scored quickly by Messi, because already in the 5th minute of the match, was of great importance for the course of the match. I must admit that I expected more from the hosts.
Nothing more can be expected from the hosts (Olympique Lyon). Even though Olympique Lyon looked to be playing really well to keep themselves from conceding more goals in that match, because PSG team is always the stronger team in French Ligue 1. But what I wonder is why only one goal was created by the PSG team while in the PSG team there are so many high-class star players, while in the Olympique Lyon team it is the opposite.

Lens team is doing very well. They are one of the 3 undefeated teams in 8 weeks. Their next match is against lyon. A decisive and important match for them.
After checking this result my feeling is this is favorable for Lyon because as we have attack in PSG they can ruin them but good defense and tactics from them prevent them for having any the worst result in this match after super start of this season now they are on losing streak with 3 matches in a row is surely never been ideal for any team which is at the top ranks.

Defeat against Lorient bring them down and now Monaco and PSG both also done same with now after break they are going to face another surprise package which is surely going to be nightmare for them as Lens is also on good run and only in three teams which are not faced any defeat in their first seven matches of this season.

So far only Marseille has been able to keep up with PSG but PSG is on another planet and having all those superstars is really easy to win any league,let alone the French one which is not one of the strongest,sure it is in the top 5 major European Leagues but it sits 5th in this ranking.No other team has been as consistent as Marseille in following Paris so far and I hope they continue to play like that despite them losing at home in the Champions League to Frankfurt.

Lorient I don't consider a team which can stay that long in that position but I always am happy when teams like Lorient climb those high positions,this year strange enough the Ligue 1 is beautiful and so far I have seen great goals and by great goals I mean from teams other than PSG.

A neat cooperation between players produced goals through Messi. But unfortunately they could not increase the advantage until the long whistle sounded, although many opportunities were created.
In this match, we were shown again in cooperation, Messi and Neymar again showed it in this match. I hope the chemistry between them continues to run and improve.
If any team want to do many goals then surely they need good and solid cooperation between players but sadly right now it's no happening in PSG, and specially we are looking problems between Neymar and Mbappé which is surely a big issue for the coach and management because this can create feud and this is not good for them in big matches as this can create problems for them as we already watch in past here now coach need to do his role because this is very important for any team success.

Combination between Neymar and Messi is surely having big impact on their success but as we all know Mbappé is more important player for this team, but his attitude is surely going against him and success which is never been positive for anyone and need to be settled otherwise PSG management can do some unwanted decisions which will be helpful for them instead of going into mess up.

PSG played very well by being able to control the game and create many chances but unfortunately they were only able to win 1 goal which was scored by Messi in 5 minutes.
I think there are still many things that PSG need to improve on, especially the flow of the ball from the midfield and forwards and also the use of opportunities to score goals. they currently still waste a lot of good chances that can't be converted into goals.
but the victory was enough for them to get 3 points this week.
even though it would be thought that PSG would get a lot of goals in the match against Lyon but that didn't happen. neymar and mbappe compete to be the top scorer in ligue 1, unfortunately neither of them scored in that match. but the news circulating is that neymar was angry with galtier because he was substituted in the 86th minute, he said galtier missed his chance (neymar) to score.
this is a disadvantage for the PSG team, PSG's front line is often reported to not have a suitable chemistry and that often happens in several matches, especially between neymar and mbappe.
the difficult task is in the hands of the coach because at PSG there are many star players and of course they have very high egos.

The match against Lyon was indeed a little unlucky for PSG because with the many opportunities they had they were only able to score 1 goal. it will be a big evaluation in my opinion for PSG's front line.

I think to know how Lionel Messi contributing for PSG looking on how long PSG journey on Champion League, will he success lead PSG until final stage or stuck last season on 16 round phase.
PSG signed a contract and gave a very generous salary to Messi not to win Ligue 1. They did all these things for Messi with a demand that Messi should contribute for them and lead them to Champions League trophy. In the first season, Messi failed but we can expect better contribution from Messi in this season and PSG would be a stronger team in Champions League. They will not easily be beaten in this season.

Might even be surprising to you to learn that City, Bayern and PSG have been the top 3 favourites in the past 3 editions of Champions League, leaving out Real Madrid every season despite them appearing and winning in finals. Liverpool I always feel are rightly below top 3, despite also making 3/5 finals.
They have best players in the Europe and in general, as whole team, their squads are very strong. I think Manchester City and PSG are stronger than Bayern but we can not under estimate the strength of Bayern. They are more experienced in Champions League and Manchester City, PSG can not compare with them about that.

Lens team is doing very well. They are one of the 3 undefeated teams in 8 weeks. Their next match is against lyon. A decisive and important match for them.
The win against Lyon was very challenging for PSG. Lyon may have been in a bit of poor form recently. But they are very strong at home. Lyon has won all of their first 4 home matches. Lyon collected 13 points in 7 matches, 12 of which they collected in home matches. And so winning this match was not easy for PSG.
PSG may have scored only one goal in this match. But PSG's match strategy was good enough. The conflict between Neymar and Mbappe was not seen in this match. Galtier seems to be able to stabilize the team.
I see Lyon need to change the form of the game if they are to fight for a place in the European league this season. Lyon is currently ranked 6th in the standings with 13 points, 5 points behind Lens who occupy the Europa League zone.
With this win Paris Saint-Germain return to the top of Ligue 1 with 22 points overtaking Marseille who drew with Rennes, although only two points clear, their goal difference of +22 is double that of Marseille, an ominous sign at this early stage. for Marseille.

Only 8 rounds have been completed. There is still a long journey ahead. The team that is able to maintain the consistency of performance will be at the top of the points table. Lyon, however, is currently sixth in the table. But staying between 3rd-5th position in the points table is not too difficult for them if they can bring consistency in performance.

Marseille drew in the last match, and now they are 2 points behind PSG. Marseille is playing very well this season. But I don't think they will compete for the title with PSG. I think we will see PSG dominate Ligue 1 this season as well.
