Those MNM trios are on fire. Messi and Neymar have started playing and scoring again. Since the beginning of the season, Neymar has contributed to 10 goals. This season, I hope he won't suffer any injuries. Liguee 1 is easy to predict this year, with PSG as the clear favorite. I hope they don't disappoint us in the Champions League either.
They are finding each other after the drama but let's say it is good for now and let's hope it is a beginning of something better for the trio. At least they must maintain it until the end of season for a highest achievement they can get, win Champions League.

UEFA Champions League season 2022/23 draw has been completed in Istanbul. Juve and PSG will have an easy time in the group stages. We'll see how long they can run, but PSG is already through to the next round. It's important not to underestimate weaker sides, since PSG are usually underachievers.
Having easy qualification might not be good for PSG. It might become a big issue for them when they are not preparing enough for tough matches in Champions League. Their star players are too comfortable with domination in Ligue 1 and if they get it in Champions League, they will be more careless when they meet tough opponents, let's say in 1/16 or quarter final.

It's hard for me to name the favorite in the AC Ajaccio - Lille match. The hosts are now on relegated position in the table and in the matches so far have only get 1 point, but it must be admitted that they had strong opponents, and in each match, with a bit of luck, the result could have been better. Lille had a nice start, but they got a real beating from PSG last matchday and they lost 7-1. It can be difficult for the team to recover mentally after such a defeat. I bet on a draw in this match.
I also think about that, it is difficult for Lille to win the match and get full points, indeed Ajaccio in head to head has lost more than won or draw, but this team cannot be considered very weak. Even though Lille stats are better than Ajaccio and the chances of winning their match are higher for Lille, but chances of a draw are also possible.

For today match Ajaccio vs Lille that Lille have to forget their disgraceful result from PSG and focus for upcoming match and they have good opportunity back to winning track because they had good records from their opponent Ajjacio especially as a host Ajaccio in the poor performance period because since pre season tour until last week Ajaccio was failure to win so probably Lille will going to win the match and bookmakers provide high odds for Lille @2.35

Now the odds have dropped to 2.20 but they look like too generous - I can't figure out what the catch is. The result with PSG can not be taken into account at all, since PSG is a team from another league, and the rest of Lille's games are good. I rarely bet in Ligue 1, but this game looks like a good one for this.

PSG must be able to win Ligue 1 this season and at the same time must be able to win the European champions league because the depth of the PSG squad is quite good because a series of world star players are there, ranging from goalkeepers, midfield, main strikers, wing attackers to reserve players. If this season PSG fail to marry Ligue 1 and the European champions league, then the money spent by the club owners will be in vain.
It looks like PSG will not have significant problems in Ligue 1 this season, PSG's dominance is so strong to win the domestic league. in three matches this season their performance has been outstanding with many goals being scored in every game. In every season, PSG always target the Champions League trophy even though they always fail to get it.
this season also psg is targeting the champions league trophy but i think their struggle in the champions league will get serious challenges from other clubs who are also competing in the champions league tournament. with the depth of the current spg squad, they should be able to finish as champions league winners.
but to make it happen, they must remain consistent and maintain cohesiveness in each of their players, especially for the compactness of the MNM trio who are very vulnerable to disputes.
Paris Saint-Germain obviously won't have any major problems this season to win the Liguee 1 trophy because they are a club full of stars. Hardly any Ligue 1 club can compare PSG to. That's not interesting in Ligue 1, only one or two dominate.

The struggle of Paria Saint-Germain will be tested again this season in Europe. Of course they will stop again like the previous seasons. In my opinion, because in PSG's domestic league nobody is used to tough competition so that in the UCL they are not consistent.
This season's UCL draw has a result and the result is that PSG are included in the normal group because Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa are in Group H.

The performance of Ligue 1 teams is weaker than last season. Lyon, Lens and Marseille, however, are yet to lose a match. But I don't think their performance is very good. I think PSG will easily win against these teams. A strong squad is needed to fight for the title, who can consistently perform well. But no team in Ligue 1 can consistently perform well. And so PSG is the favorite for the title this season too. And it is believed that they will win the title without facing any obstacles.
In Ligue 1 we have most of the teams losing quality because they are not capable of buying quality players and give tough challenge to PSG which is dominant team in French League for last one decade here the biggest issue is no prestigious cup and no entertaining soccer which is surely important for better investment. French soccer authorities needs to work on marketing as well because without this they have never been any chance of bringing big investors for their clubs, and they will be surely lost quality after every season and this is never been ideal situation for them.
Few seasons back we have tough challenge from few teams like Monaco, Marseille and Lyon but sadly recently these clubs are also losing quality due to not good investment and having quality players for themselves which help them in this crucial time.

PSG is a very rich club. And they spend a lot of money on team building. Other teams in Ligue 1 are not as rich as PSG. At the same time, the owners of these clubs are not interested in spending a lot of money to build the team. And so the teams remain far behind in the title fight with PSG every season.
Marseille, Lyon, Lens and Lille are good enough teams. However, the performance of these teams is not consistent. If these teams could perform well regularly then it would not be easy for PSG to win the Ligue 1 title. These teams should spend more money on building their teams and adding star players to the squad. Then they can challenge PSG for the title.
The huge gap only started after Qatar purchased the club about a decade already. That is a super tiny emirate yet it is super rich. Qatar tried to use their money to become the best at anything they wanted to. They have the biggest monetary remittance for its local citizens, they have the best airline in the world, they built the best train in the world, they used billions of dollars to host the World Cup. They purchased PSG for a reason too, to be the best club in the world although it is met with competitions from other foreign clubs.

Ligue 1 is still competitive but only for the teams to fight for the second spot after PSG. Last season Monaco, Marseille, Rennes and Nice had a good race. Monaco's late rally was only a little late as Marseille secured the second spot. Anyhow we hope the sooner there will be huge investments into the other clubs in the league in order to compete with PSG.

PSG are the only consistent team in the league which makes the Ligue 1 very boring to follow. We all know much before that PSG will open the point gap too much in time and become the champions very comfortably. Of course there are some exceptions like the season Lille won the title but it is rarely seen in the end. Having not even one team to compete with PSG till the end decreases the quality of this league a lot. But nothing would change as long as PSG stay as the only rich team in the whole league.
It's almost the same situation as the Bundesliga or even beyond it in my opinion. If in the Bundesliga we will look at Bayern Munich, while here we will see Paris Saint Germain as a team that maybe no one will be able to compete with them for now. Their finances were a major factor in why that happened, and other teams were not in the same health as Paris Saint Germain making it difficult for them.

MAaaN...!! CUT THAT STUPID SHIT
What we are talking about here is that money doesn't mean you will be good, of course PSG wouldn't be good without that much money, these are not really two different things. What is meant is that you could spend a billion dollars for a club and could still manage to build a club that is bad, would be hard to do but a few bad transfers, a couple of injuries, constant changing of important positions and the manager, and you got yourself a bad team that spent a billion dollars.

So, even though you could spend money and be like PSG and good, or you could spend money and be a bad team as well. The reason why PSG is good would be money for sure, but that is still good because they knew how to use it well.
I do not think so. Despite PSG's success now it's clear money talks there.
We can't hide the fact that the interest of some players like Neymar and Mbappe in their contracts is a big salary and when PSG don't have the money then indeed they will still be ordinary clubs without the presence of some big players there.

Neymar and Mbappe's relationship was strained because of friction during last week's French league match when PSG faced Montpellier. This is certainly a conflict that is not good for the PSG club. and currently Luis Campos is also reported to be raging against internal parties at the PSG club. This was due to a conflict over the transfer issue of Antero Henrique due to different views on the transfer agreement. Of course, this conflict causes slow progress, both regarding the arrival or departure of players.
PSG is a club at the top of the table in the French league and this problem must be quickly resolved to improve PSG's image in the eyes of its fans.

PSG are almost certain to dominate the French league and win the title, but Marseille, Lens and Lyon have been performing well so far this season. Lens and Marseille have 7 points from 3 matches. Lyon, on the other hand, won both of the two matches. Maybe any teams will not compete with PSG for the top spot in the points table. But I think several teams will compete hard to qualify for the Champions League. Marseille, Lyon, Lens and Clermont Foot are playing well enough. Also, the Lille team may return to form very quickly.
Of course PSG will not have a tough competitor in the title race, except for the Champions League place or a position below it is a competition that will occur throughout the season. Because if I consider that PSG will start to become a regular title holder for Ligue 1 for every season. Unlike the previous ones, which had four successive titles and also three successive titles, there are still teams that can break this dominance. But for now or starting from here, it looks like it will be difficult for them to break PSG's dominance.

The performance of Ligue 1 teams is weaker than last season. Lyon, Lens and Marseille, however, are yet to lose a match. But I don't think their performance is very good. I think PSG will easily win against these teams. A strong squad is needed to fight for the title, who can consistently perform well. But no team in Ligue 1 can consistently perform well.

We should stick to the facts here. Did PSG over the last years epically fail in the Champions League? In my opinion they clearly didn't. They have delivered amazing fights against all the top teams. It usually never was going to be an obvious loss. Just last season they delivered an epic fight against Real Madrid and Madrid was lucky enough to land the lucky punch and make it to the next round.
In fact, PSG always fails in the knockout round which means the team still has a problem with mentality even having a player who often plays in that round, In reality, Messi and friends can't apply it on PSG despite getting the title on the previous club. So, I believe the problem is just coordination and mental club, if PSG can do in Ligue 1 so I think will not problem to do also in the champions league if the squad reduces self of interest.
Maybe it's PSG's past and I'm sure this year or this season they've learned from their mistakes and won't repeat them again, it can be seen from their recent game that they always get wins with very many points and shows that they are ready to win. to get his victory in the first league and face other big teams when he entered the Champions League.

After looking at the 3 matches played by PSG in Ligue 1, where not only PSG can win 3 matches in a row, but PSG can also score a lot of goals.
Imagine PSG can score 17 goals in 3 games, this proves PSG is very productive in scoring goals. But if we look at the PSG match, we can see
that the cooperation of PSG players is very solid, therefore it is not surprising that PSG can score a lot of goals. After all PSG's defense is not bad
in 3 games conceding 3 goals, but it is necessary to improve the performance of PSG's back line.

What makes me believe PSG this season is much more than the previous season how PSG star players can be controlled by Galtier, which when
Pochettino was still PSG coach, Pochettino was not as assertive as Galtier. Even though at first I doubted Galtier was a good coach for PSG,
but seeing Galtier can make Mbappe and Neymar work well together, I believe Galtier can make PSG play better this season. I'm sure PSG's
performance in the Champions League will improve this season. Moreover, the Champions League is PSG's main target, we will see how Galtier's
strategy is to make PSG win against its rivals in the Champions League.

In my opinion it is waaaaay too early to judge whether Galtier can handle the superstars or not. Let there just be one serious crisis, also maybe some injuries (Neymar and even Mbappe do miss quite some games), then we can see how Galtier is able to get along with tough circumstances. Now winning the first three games doesn't mean much. It is the same as saying Nagelsmann is the perfect man for Bayern after winning three matches. It is not representative when you have a great start when all players are on board, everything is cool and the opponents aren't really that hard.

Let's wait and see what happens when for instance PSG loses the first game against Benfica in the champions league. Or when Neymar and Mbappe are fighting each other again after a loss. Give the season some time to develop! Wink

Money does not guarantee success, but success is possible because of money if the team and the players alike strive to put the team mission above the individual mission.

Remember how Porto won the Champions League in the 2003-2004 season? Who says they are star-studded team with good financial conditions. But teamwork has made them win the title back then.



So apart from strategy, squad depth and collaboration between players are the reasons why these teams won the Champions League title. Solid cooperation, having good players are things that will support this team to achieve success in a competition. So if PSG want to win titles, then they have to have some of those things in my opinion.

I think you understand very well that if these billions had not been invested in PSG, then now they would not be a top club, but would be at the same level as the rest of the French teams. Single successes do not prove anything. Underdogs win even in big tournaments, but it's easy to see what their chances are (with all the factors you listed) if you look at the frequency with which they win  Wink

but to make it happen, they must remain consistent and maintain cohesiveness in each of their players, especially for the compactness of the MNM trio who are very vulnerable to disputes.

PSG is trying to strengthen their squad, while Ligue 1 teams are getting weaker day by day. They are not interested in spending money on new talented players. And so winning the Ligue 1 title is becoming very easy for PSG.

As the Ligue 1 title is easy for PSG. So they are not thinking about the Ligue 1 title now. Their target now is the Champions League title. And I think Galtier is slowly building his team to be fit for the Champions League. Finding problems within the team. And trying hard to solve them.
 
Neymar and Mbappe's feud at the start of the season was revealed quite badly. But in the last match, we saw great performances from Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. Mbappe's behavior in the last match was friendly. Neymar's conflict with Mbappe may have been resolved by PSG management.
