The game ended exactly how I imagined it would end and this was what I was talking about all summer long. Everyone assumed that they would be a bit worse without Mbappe, but what they didn't realize was that Mbappe wasn't the one that made them win, he was an overkill, you do not need Mbappe talent level player to win ligue 1, they already have good players and this is a proof.

I think they will continue to be like this for a long time as well, I am not expecting them to be any worse. They are going to be champions again, beating every team and they may even finish with similar points to last season as well, or maybe even more if they do a bit fine like this. They are not joking anymore, the yare taking this very seriously and there is a potential that they could be incredibly talented. We should be considering how they can get greater results by just looking at the result right now. Betting on PSG this season is the easiest thing that one could ever do.

PSG is doing just fine without Mbappe. Enrique has a fantastic coach, and he is not hesitant to take big actions. Dembele and Barcola was a wise choice that reveals PSG has a strong bench.

Though they are ruling Ligue 1, the Champions League is the true test. The big lads play here, hence PSG has to be ready. Losing Ramos to an injury is unfortunate; they are still working out their attack without Mbappe. They require a consistent goal scorer who can pull through in pivotal circumstances.

Thus, if PSG makes a splash on the transfer market, not be shocked. They wont accept second best as their normal. They want a striker who might even surpass Mbappe's performance in filling his place.

Le Havre on paper is actually not a difficult opponent for PSG to face, because the squad they have is actually very different in terms of player quality, facing Le Havre is their first match without Mbappe in the squad, although they won big over Le Havre but it can be seen that the line attack and their game was not as good  like as when Mbappe was still in their previous squad, after being able to lead 1-0 in the first half, PSG was actually surprised by the goal scored by Le Harve in the 48th minute and made PSG must to work hard to get another goal in the match, although they created many opportunities in the match, it was clear that the PSG players were very frustrated because their attacks continued to be thwarted by Le Harve defense, but fortunately PSG were able to end the victory with a big score after in the 85th, 86th and 90th minutes they managed to score goals to seal the win  first match in Ligue 1.

PSG managed to get 3 points in that match and made them now at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, but PSG had to pay a heavy price for the victory over Le Havre after they lost one of their strikers in that match, Ramos, who is projected to be PSG main striker this season after losing Mbappe, but In fact now he suffered a very serious injury to his ankle ligaments and it is reported that he will be out for the next 3 months.
After losing Ramos, PSG of course must immediately look for another striker to fill the void in their attack line now.

But I think it's natural if we see this is the first match of PSG and Le Harve, depressed at the beginning of the match of course in my opinion is very reasonable, from that it also sees the weaknesses and weaknesses as well as starting to adapt again to the tension of the match to get a position in the French league 1.

Of course this action is a decisive action taken by Luis Enrique, where their weaknesses lie and fix them, the strategy changes and makes the boa rolling at their feet more comfortable, an extraordinary victory in the first match, unfortunately for the temporary leader of the Marseille standings who beat Brest with a score of 5-1.

PSG's performance after Mbappe left seemed fine, unlike many people who said that losing Mbappe would affect PSG's goal productivity. In reality, all of that did not happen, even in PSG's first match this season they managed to beat Le Havre with a landslide score of 4-1. This also proves that even without Mbappe, PSG is still productive in terms of scoring goals.

Although in the first half after Lee Kang-in's quick goal PSG did not score another goal and entering the second half Le Havre managed to equalize, but that did not make Enrique run out of ideas. He made the right substitutions which ended in PSG's victory and the players who were replaced also contributed to this victory. In my opinion, for League 1 PSG will still dominate, but for the Champions League they really have to find a striker who is hungry for goals.

Wow, it looks like Marseille managed to start this season with very good results compared to PSG. Because after all, PSG 1-4 victory also meant that PSG needed up to 85 minutes to score three goals and end the match with a big win. But about Marseille, in fact managed to make it three goal in the first half and that was certainly a good result considering the opponents they faced.

Because at least if we compare Le Havre and Brest then at least Brest is still a difficult team compared to Le Havre, but Marseille managed to beat Brest and scored quickly in the first half. With results like this, I am more convinced that it will not be easy for PSG to get the Ligue 1 trophy this season, because of the loss of Mbappe and at the same time the competing teams have succeeded in improving their performance and quality. Thus, the competition for the Ligue 1 trophy this season will be difficult and will not be easy like previous seasons when PSG managed to get it.

3 of PSG's significant goals came at the very end of the match, those were scored after 84 minutes had elapsed, a very scary situation indeed 

As expected, things are becoming tough for PSG after their star player Mbappe left. Le Havre is not even that strong of a team and they had to struggle against them very badly. I know the scoreline is 1-4 for PSG, but 3 of their goals came at the very end of the match.

Luis Enrique did very well changing the players which made the attacking flow better. I don’t know if PSG will be able to win Ligue 1 let alone dominate it for this season. As for the Uefa Champions League, they might be knocked out in the group stage unless their group is easy. And to be honest no group is easy in the Uefa Champions League. There were talks about PSG signing 3 major players after Mbappe left but we have yet to see something big. PSG won’t be able to achieve much with this squad. Their next 2 matches are against Montpellier and Lille. Don’t know about Montpellier but they might struggle very badly against Lille.

Yesterday PSG started the league well, today Marseille made a similarly fast start. Mason Greenwood and Luis Henrique scored twice each and Marseille got the result. Brest made a surprise debut last season, but I think it will be a one-season thing. Brest will have their work cut out for them in Europe this season. Marseille can hopefully be in the title race. I don't want to see PSG dominance anymore. At least have some competition. Monaco and Lyon should also be in the race.

From your choices, I agree but there are 2 matches that must be careful.
Auxerre - Nice seen more deeply in head to head the two clubs do look different and Nice will be more favored, but the problem is even though Auxerre is only a weak club but the club was able to hold a draw several times in previous meetings and this is the beginning of the season which will certainly make all of Nice's main players adapt again with new players who have been recruited and the match takes place at Auxerre's home ground which provides a great opportunity to hold a draw.

Toulouse - Nantes from the last 5 meetings Toulouse seems very unlucky to appear at home always losing when playing against Nantes and currently Nantes also cannot be underestimated by Toulouse because in any case a draw could happen and choosing to bet on over would be safer.

This is not too difficult a challenge even though PSG has to play away. Although the students won relatively easily. However, coach Luis Enrique still has reason to feel dissatisfied. The problem is that PSG faced a much weaker opponent, Le Havre. but the pace of the match is too slow. PSG plays like that, things can get complicated if PSG meets another strong team. Luis Enrique still needs to reform and adjust the squad.

Yes, everyone saw Dembele and Barcola enter the field from the 71st minute. The appearance of the two French players helped PSG deploy the ball faster and more effectively. But I think Lee Kang In was the player who had a great day and if he had been luckier, he could have scored at least 2 goals against Le Havre.

Some incorrect information in your post:
- The score in this match is Le Havre 1 - 4 PSG.
- The match was played at the Stade Oceane, but this was not PSG's home ground, but Le Havre.

---

PSG played well in their first league match, they even made a real difference with the 4 goals they had. Not a single player scored a brace, each goal came from Lee, Dembele, Barcola & Muani. Next PSG will face Montpellier, I don't agree to say Montpellier is a weak team even though in fact in every meeting they have with PSG, they are always defeated with a humiliating score, I'm sure that this time it will be different.

After Dembele came on the field, the game immediately changed, the right flank became much more lively and he created many moments. I don't want to rush to conclusions, but in my opinion, the PSG attack is playing quite well and the absence of Mbappe was not noticeable. It is very bad that PSG lost Ramos so early, he was forced to leave the field due to injury, there is no exact information yet about, how long he will be absent, but most likely we are talking about several weeks, as Enrique suggested, we are waiting for official information. Losing forwards in such a situation, and in the first match of the season is very bad.

PSG 2 - 1 Le Havre

This was a game that was played at PSG's home ground, at the Stade Océane. It was PSG's first game of the season in Ligue 1 and they didn't have Mbappe. Expectations were high because I wanted to see how PSG would play without Mbappe. When I saw the formation that the PSG coach chose to start the game:



I was wondering why the PSG coach chose to put Ibrahim Mbaye, who is 16 years old, on the starting line-up instead of João Neves. I also wondered why Ousmane Dembélé didn't start playing at the beginning of the game. It's a question that only the PSG coach knows the answer to. The fact is that PSG's performance in that first game was very good even though some good players didn't come on the pitch at the beginning of the game. PSG's next game will be against another weak team, so I see PSG also managing to win the next game

My predictions for the remaining games of this round:

Stade Brestois 29 - Olympique Marseille (Olympique Marseille will win)

Stade Reims - LOSC Lille (LOSC Lille will win)

AS Monaco FC - AS Saint-Etienne (AS Monaco FC will win)

AJ Auxerre - OGC Nice ( I think AJ Auxerre has a chance of winning or drawing)

FC Toulouse - FC Nantes (FC Toulouse will win)

Montpellier HSC - RC Strasbourg Alsace (Montpellier will win)

Angers SCO - RC Lens ( Lens will win)

Stade Rennais FC - Olympique Lyonnais ( Olympique Lyonnais will win)

Surely they need time to transition after losing their mainstay player, but we can also see how significant the difference is between Paris Saint Germain and other teams. Although Le Havre managed to equalize, they could only play defensively and that was still not enough to hold Paris Saint Germain to a draw. This is their first big win, and there is nothing strange about it.
But we can also see that they actually have gaps that can be exploited by other teams, as long as the other team has strengths that are at least not much different from Paris Saint Germain. For now I say that their strengths will not be matched by anyone, but when the opposing team sees gaps that can be exploited, it can be a serious threat to Pari Saint Germain. I look forward to teams like Monaco and others facing Paris Saint Germain.

As I predicted earlier that PSG has the advantage even though they are playing away and they deserve to win this match, but initially I thought PSG could only win by narrow score and in reality they were able to achieve big win.
It seems that PSG playing pattern is not so satisfying and there are some differences from last season, but what is clear is that PSG can provide their first victory very well.

I agree with that, Enrique as PSG coach can take the right steps in this match and make PSG really play better in the second half so that they can achieve absolute victory.
But there is one player that I still consider to be the key to PSG success in the future, namely Dembele who also in this match managed to provide 1 goal, last season his performance was not so satisfying but this season I believe he can be better.

I think PSG will have a disaster and as is known, Le Havre had made it difficult for them before PSG beat them with a score of 1-4. This is the first win for PSG and also the first away game they have won this season. In fact, they played quite well but the adjustment after Mbappe left was very clear here.

Luckily Luis Enrique moved quickly to change the composition of his players and the results were seen at the end of the second half when Dembele and Barcola came on the ball flowed more. Don't forget the two players also scored their first goals in this victory and I think PSG don't need to worry about what happens next as long as they have players who can be relied on in the midst of difficulties. For now, PSG are at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

Are you kidding me? How can you say that own goal is very good for his team you mean for Lille or Fenerbahce? it can benefit the opposing club because they don't have to struggle to break into Lille's goal, that goal could have prevented Lille from qualifying for the play off round if Jonathan David didn't score to make the match a draw and in the end Lille still qualified for the next round with a narrow aggregate difference.
This match was very dramatic due to the first goal created by Bafodé Diakité but it still couldn't make Fenerbahce win the match, Fenerbahce's struggle only ended here, Jose Mourinho couldn't do much for the club he coached.

But the result of that match was not in the favour of  LOSC Lille team and both teams score was 1- goal . Both teams tried their best to win this match but that was hard for any team team .  B. Diakite did first goal of match and he made the match interesting and  his goal was good goal for his team and after that LOSC Lille team attacked and did their first goal at the time of  118 minutes and that goal was on penalty . The  aggregate of that match was 3-2 in the favour of LOSC Lille team .LOSC Lille team shots are best and all team  played excellent shots and many shots were on target and the passes of LOSC Lille players were more in number and the digit was 576 and that team was ahead in this match because they carry football for more time in comparison to opponent team.

Mbappe joined Real Madrid to change his fate. Lets face it: PSG are large fish in little ponds. They're dominant in France yet usually lose in the Champions League.

Mbappe wants trophies, and Real Madrid can give him them. Mbappe understands they have an unequaled winning tradition. Making his debut, scoring, and winning a trophy is the difference. Real Madrid is better than PSG.

Mbappe wants to cement his legacy as a great, not just make money. He's on the right track. He's talented, driven, and now has a dream team. This is a good combo, and Im excited to watch Mbappe's Real Madrid results. The best is yet to come.

For ones PSG did something wonderful for me, it seems this season is going to be promising one. After seeing them struggling with La Havre I thought it will end in a draw because PSG always has a way of settling for a draw but tonight they played out their best to get the 3 point they deserved. The host wasn't that clinical in front of goal and they are not even close in making the PSG team be under pressure when the score line was 1-1. If a team such as La Havre wants to win a team like PSG they need to be good in both defense and attack or maybe a little energy in the midfield, if that is done then they can match PSG.  CONGRATULATIONS TO ME AWAY.
