I don’t mean to be rude but if PSG player’s get over confidence by winning against Ligue 1 team’s then they’ll epically fail in champions league matches, and thus they should use these league matches as a practise session to try new tactics that can serve them well in the champions league.

Furthermore the only time we can see some other team challenging them is when a big investor buys a team in this league, and spends crazy money to beat them but until that happens PSG is going to win this league without much resistance.

After Lille won the league back in 2020/2021 they played next year the champions league and in that time they sold most of their best players. Yilmaz carried Lille and got sold and some other players aswell. Now i dont think they got even the material to be in top 7 of the league. Other teams this year have really signed some good players,while PSG will win the title again easily.

The PSG versus Lille Match is over and as expected PSG won the match very easily. The score was 7-1 at the end of the match. Kylian Mbappé scored a Hattrick, Neymar scored a brace and Messi scored one goal. The defender Achraf Hakimi also scored one goal. This was a really good performance from PSG. But if I have to nitpick I am going to say they could have done better on the defensive side. But on the attacking side, there is no problem right now. I am glad to see Kylian Mbappé understand that he is a player and not above the team. That is why I think the team is starting to work well. And obviously, the arrival of a new coach for PSG also did well for their performance. Just look at how they started the last season and how they have started the season.

Regardless of what you see and you value for this French League. I don't think there's anything to blame here when a league is only dominated by one team. Because each team must struggle to develop in order to dominate the League in their own country and also in the Champions League if the team gets a ticket to the Champions League. But if the team doesn't care about the development or progress of their team, then the potential to dominate the League will definitely not exist.

It is a fact. No one noticed Mbappe's absence in the first game and PSG scored 5 goals - supposedly a great win, but based on that we can't say anything about PSG's chances in the Champions League. I wouldn't be surprised if PSG get knocked out by the first serious opponent and then the fans will talk about bad luck and that PSG is supposedly strong. But in order to see real strength, you need normal opponents, not clubs from Ligue 1.

It is difficult to remove Ligue 1 from the word farmers' league because indeed there is no one here that can be used as a target to be called a rival at this time and indeed there is no single club that can match PSG so it is quite reasonable to call it that because they are alone there in terms of league especially.
Stigma like this will always exist until whenever there is no team that can become an obstacle or make the competition exciting in the fight for the championship.

From the results of this match, it shows that from season to season the team's strength can change and all of them have a training process to create good strength, so PSG have shown that their teamwork is still the best in Liga 1. From 2019 until now "PSG" no team has ever been able to beat.

If so, we can also equate great teams outside Europe. They can also beat Europe's great teams if they are able to maintain a consistent performance.
I know that Lille is not a weak team, but the players in the PSG squad are not comparable to the average players in the Ligue 1 squad. Logically, PSG are able to score more than 4 goals when they face other teams in Ligue 1 although on the field luck factor also affects the results.

I started to think whether it is worth it when one of the top leagues is dominated by only one team, where the dominance of that team is very difficult to stop. I prefer to say their real competition is the Champions League. We see how they are there, even I see them only as a small team that does not have a winning mentality. Not condescending, but that's a fact I see.

Since winning the Ligue 1 trophy in the 2020/2021 season, Lille's performance has decreased, even the previous season Lille had performed
poorly by being in 10th position. That's why when the start of this season started I didn't think of Lille as a strong team anymore in Ligue 1.
So it's only natural that PSG can win big against Lille this season, because based on the previous head to head it was very clear Lille was not
a strong competitor for PSG anymore. Even looking at Lille's performance in 3 games this season, I'm not sure Lille this season is in the top 5.

So for me it would be much more interesting to see PSG face Marseille or Lyon, especially Marseille which has proven in the last few seasons
to play quite consistently by always being in the top 5. So this season in Ligue 1 it is Marseille who deserves to be PSG's main opponent,
although if Marseille face PSG it is likely to lose, at least Marseille can provide resistance and will not be easily defeated by PSG. Even though
the truth is true, it's more interesting to watch PSG play in the Champions League, which in the Champions League PSG can face opponents
who have almost the same strength. Because other Ligue 1 teams struggle to build quality teams, and so far no other team in Ligue 1 has
the same financial strength as PSG.

I get that PSG is a great team and they are doing as well as hoped for. But when they score in 7th second then it becomes a bit of a problem. I mean it is not going to be something that we can't really see again, they are so good that I think it could even happen again, maybe not 7th second but like 20th second next time who knows?

What I really want to believe is that we are talking about something that is quite uncommon with how powerful they are compared to rest of the league, them and Bayern, that's it. These teams are not doing it on some low level out of top 50 league, they are doing it on one of the best leagues in the world and they are unfairly good against everyone else without any shred of doubt.

Surely Champions League is going to be tested case for them even in group stage they will thrash all teams like they are doing business in French League because most of the teams are not good enough for handling attack like this which is right now thrashing teams in this league but knock out stage is surely going to be a better place where we can check them how they are going to do in this all.

But, keep one thing in mind after change of coach and recent pressure on Neymar is also working for them because now he is feeling if he is not going to perform then surely they are not going to give him extension and no other club can afford him with this salary and other benefits so change of attitude and performance surely giving good benefit to PSG.

That's right, the point is that after PSG became the richest team in Ligue 1, after that no team could stop PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. Because maybe and it seems true, that the owner wants PSG to become the strongest team in Europe by getting the Champions League title. But unfortunately, to achieve that will still be difficult even though they have upgraded the team with a lot of money. So, when they fail in the Champions League but they will never fail to dominate Ligue 1. Also, of course PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 will last a long time, because no rival team in Ligue 1 comes close to PSG's quality.

The depth of Manchester City and PSG are same but PSG have worse management than Manchester City. In Manchester City, we don't see many drama and conflict between star players like what we see in PSG with Neymar vs Cavani, Neymar vs Mbappe.

PSG dominate Ligue 1 in first three matches. They got 9 points and scored 17 goals so far. With this form and with their domination there, they will win Ligue 1 easily in this season. They just have to build up connection for their players, avoid injuries and be ready for Champions League. It is their biggest target in every season. A first Champions Leaghe cup is waiting for PSG and this golden player generation to take it.

The depth of PSG's squad so far has not guaranteed anything for their success in winning the Champions League. Most of the season they failed to reach the final but they could always try in a different season until luck was on their side. The same thing happened to Manchester City, so they are just a team waiting in line to win the Champions League title.

PSG are the most dominant team in their domestic league at the moment in Ligue 1. They are the favorites in every weekend game but they can never win all the games easily because other teams also expect good competition. Although so far PSG have collected 9 points from 3 wins, so I believe they can still be beaten. Currently only PSG have managed to score 17 goals in 3 games earlier this season compared to any other team in any league, that is another testament to how good a striker they are. Only Bayern Munich in Bundesliga are in second place for the most number of goals they have scored in the last 3 matches with 15 goals.

Just wait for them to appear in the Champions League against other big clubs, although the atmosphere is different it can at least prove the depth of the squad that PSG has. If you look at PSG who always fail in the Champions League, Ligue 1 can be said to be a livestock league because there is no team that can provide competition to PSG. Maybe for that reason players who join Ligue 1 clubs are less popular than players who compete in the Premier League or La Liga.

Exactly, they have to prove themselves first by facing a club that has the same level as them. That way we can conclude whether their game can compete if they are in a more difficult competition or not. Because if you look at the match here (Ligue 1) it is clear they are able to do well, although their internal problems still cannot be resolved. And I think, even if one of their star players is absent they will still perform like that.

Too early conclusions on the results of games in the farm league  PSG is now the only top club in France, so we see such results. But who knows what will happen if they come across some strong team like Atlético (I'm not even talking about other top teams) - when in the center of the field it will be necessary to really fight and not play on clean balls. It is quite possible that this trio will fade again.

I see some people saying that Lille are one of the main opponents of PSG in the Ligue 1. However I don't believe this is true anymore. Their last head-to-heads can be shown as a proof for that also. I have added it below:



I respect Lille's success like being the champions of the league two seasons ago. But this was only related to their having a special season, that's all. There has been a huge power difference between these teams for years. PSG showed this once again by that 7-1 win.

In short, there is actually no team in the Ligue 1 that can keep up with PSG every season. As long as we don't see any other team building a very qualified squad like PSG, this will never change. PSG have real opponents in only the Champions league now.

Ligue 1 teams are relatively less powerful than La Liga and Premier League. However, Lille is not a weak team. Lille was the Ligue 1 champion in the 2020-21 season. Scoring 7 goals against such a renowned team were not easy. PSG played very well. They scored in the first minute of the match. Maybe PSG won't be able to score 7 goals against any Premier League or La Liga team. But if PSG are able to maintain such consistent performance, they are capable of defeating any strong team.
