Unfortunately something like this is something that is difficult to happen in Ligue 1.
PSG really excel in every way and indeed it will be difficult to make a new breakthrough even as Lille did in the 2020/2021 season.
Even though there are still some opportunities, if you look at the readiness and the pattern of the game being carried out, it is clear that this is something that tends to be impossible to do.
It seems what happened in the 2020/2021 season when Lille won the Ligue 1 trophy is very difficult to repeat. Moreover, PSG have prepared well,
which PSG is unbeaten while playing in friendly matches. This means that PSG players have very high confidence, and also the PSG squad is still
the best compared to other Ligue 1 teams. So it's very likely that PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy in the 2022/2023 season, I don't see any other
team in Ligue 1 being able to stop PSG. I'm sure PSG will beat Clermont in the first game of the new season.
Even though the pre-season tour is not a reference because it doesn't mean anything but when you see they are really good in attack and strong enough in defense this becomes a very good capital for PSG.
Clermont is not a formidable opponent for PSG if you look at last season's comparison, their comparison is quite far, then indeed this will only smooth out PSG's start to wade through Ligue 1 this season.
I agree that the pre-season tour where PSG face several clubs from the Japanese league cannot be used as a reference. Moreover,
the opponents they face are also far below PSG. The pre-season tour is only a warm-up match and also to practice teamwork to be more solid.
The actual match will be when PSG face Clermont, unfortunately Clermont had a bad performance the previous season and almost got relegated.
Even the previous meeting Clermont was defeated by PSG with a score of 4-0, so it is likely that PSG will beat Clermont easily. But in football
there are often surprises, therefore I hope PSG play carefully and don't underestimate Clermont even though his opponent is weaker.
