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.
Not faced difficulty for domestic league tittle race on Ligue 1 for PSG because last season on 2021/2022 they have 15 points different from Marseille as settle second position standing place. For this season looks not any different competitive on Ligue 1 and I think PSG keep as the most strong candidate for getting Ligue 1 trophy again than other team like AS Monaco or Marseille. Just have trouble and difficulty faced by PSG on champion league, still not find great achievement after last time success lead until final stage before defeating by Bayern Munich, bad performance last champion league season because PSG stuck on 16 round phase.

The 1-7 PSG victory is ordinary because they have a team that has world class players. If PSG cannot score 7 goals when Lille has lost enthusiasm in the match, then it is in vain to have a MMN trio. I do not intend to underestimate PSG and Ligue 1, but in Spain (La Liga) and in England (Premier League) the big score is rare, because all teams can provide resistance, even the team at the bottom of the standings can beat the ranking team at the standings.
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.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.
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.

In terms of the quality they currently have, of course, PSG will have no difficulty in Ligue 1 because no other team can compete with it.
and for the Champions League I think PSG this season is much stronger than the previous season and it is very likely that they will be able to go further in the Champions League stage even if we look at the players in their squad that deserve to be counted as champion candidates.

PSG are favorites to win the Champions League title if they can continue the way they have started this season. But if they slowly lose form, or a key player suffers a long-term injury, it will be very difficult for PSG to perform well in the Champions League. After watching the performance of PSG for a few more days, it will be possible to estimate how much PSG is eligible for the Champions League.

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.

PSG scored 17 goals in 3 matches in Ligue 1. They managed to score 7 goals even against a strong team like Lille. So it can easily be assumed that PSG will not face any major problems to win the Ligue 1 title. And so from now, they can start preparing for the Champions League title.
PSG's squad is now strong, with many experienced players in the squad. Also, almost all the players on the team are now fully fit. Galtier's match strategy is quite good. All in all, PSG is in a very strong position right now.
In three games so far PSG have scored 17 goals and conceded 3 goals when they beat Montpellier 5-2 and the last match beat Lille 1-7, If you play with a full team, I think PSG can score more goals every game in Ligue 1. Look different team and performance show by PSG in Ligue 1 this season, but still have several match left to know about how long PSG keep consistent actually when have busy match with UEFA Champion league matchday. Few hours later will make drawing Champion League group stage and how possibility for PSG can talk more in UEFA Champion League. Will PSG have long journey on UEFA Champion League this season until final stage or not any different with like season were PSG stuck on 16 round stage. PSG's squad is now strong, with many experienced players in the squad. Also, almost all the players on the team are now fully fit. Galtier's match strategy is quite good. All in all, PSG is in a very strong position right now.

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.
PSG will not be under any significant pressure in Ligue 1. now they will be very focused on the Champions League. they missed it last season. but this season they come with strong ambitions.Rich club with super expensive players there. it's hard to imagine if they also ended up not being able to bring the champions league trophy this year. it must have frustrated the club owner.

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.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.

Coming back to PSG, there have been some disagreements between Mbappe and Neymar for example. If these two don't make an effort to break the ice completely then PSG can have another failure in the Champions League. But the recent performances of these players make me think like they are getting better mentally as time goes on.
The issue of the split that occurred between Mbappe and Neymar was quite strong circulating some time ago, but I think before the match against Lille, Galtier might have been able to defuse the conflict, so that in the match against Lille, Neymar and Mbappe can work well together, I think even though it looks like PSG game quite compact after the clash between Mbappe and Neymar of course Galtier should be able to make this group of star players still work together in a team and especialy I think Galtier be should be able to suppress mbappe ego at this time. August 24, 2022, 06:33:46 PM
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.
I just think that number of goals are possible because it is French league 1 and not EPL.These are one of the reasons I continue saying the EPL is the toughest league in the world.I don't see that happening in the premier league,because no team is small in the premier league,immagaine when Newcastle drew the EPL champions over the weekend,and they would have won that match if not that Mancity strougled to equalise their goals.Leeds defeated Chelsea 3-0 too over the weekend,this is to show you that English premier league is so tough that you can't score that number of goals against any team.

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.
That's literally their problem. The "way" they play against Ligue 1 teams end up with a comfortable wins like 7-1 we just saw, but the reality is that if they play the same way against other teams then they are going to have a huge upset for sure without a doubt. This is why I believe that they needed a better coach and Zidane was right there and they couldn't get him.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.
I get that he may not want to, but if you paid him a lot then there wouldn't be any person who could say no. In the long run, they will lose in UCL again because they will get overconfidence with these type of wins in Ligue 1 and they will be shocked when they can't beat better teams in UCL the same way.

Generally I agree with you and I think it might make PSG miss out on some percentage points regarding their concentration over 90 minutes when you play against opponents that are just way weaker than you. But still I would consider PSG a serious competitor the the title. If they meet Real in the final round again, would you just bet on Real and believe it is a guaranteed win? No way, PSG can definitely beat the big ones. But for the sake of Ligue 1 being more interesting to people it would be much better if there were better teams besides PSG of course.

Big investors for other teams are about the Premier League, but here in Ligue 1, no one will dare to do this, because what's the point? They will have to invest a lot of money, even a very lot of money just to win Ligue 1? It's not prestigious, no one will do it, big investors will go to strong leagues to feel the full taste of victory. And PSG can beat teams in Ligue 1 by scoring 5 or even 10 goals in each game, the championship will not become more interesting from this.
Still not have big investor want to buy or invest with Ligue 1 team except PSG only because less values and not really popular with Ligue 1 compare other competition like Primer League or La Liga and Serie A. After several years acquisition with PSG until right now still not have new bigger investor want to make Ligue 1 become competitive league. I think without popular exactly there are not have much money and make several investor not really excited with Ligue 1 competition. Keep label as farmer league with Ligue because until several years later PSG as the king of Ligue 1, have healthy financial and always dominance with several star player on their team squad, different with other Ligue 1 participants.Now as technology is spreading they also can do much better than current situation and bring some good investors, but they want better return to have some good aspect which help them for having quality results and other few things in this league.
@Cryptmuster, There are some really good players in the PSG squad. It's interesting to note that they also had a very good squad last time, but they weren't able to do very well.
Evidently, they had some issues when it came to the authority. PSG had a very good coach, but the coach was not a good fit for the caliber of the team they were. However, they have started the season well this year. In addition to that, the new coach seems to be able to work well with the team as well. It is therefore expected that PSG will perform better than they did last year.
It is clear to me that they are going to win the title of Ligue 1. Is it likely that they will be able to win the Champions League this year? That is the bigger question, isn’t it?

-snip-
~snip~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.
You have indicated a good point there.
Having a solid relationship between the players is very important and a key factor in reaching a big success. I would also like to give an example for that from the EPL. You must be remembering the magical season Leicester had with Ranieri. The players were playing very coherently and dedicatedly. This brought them a very deserved league title as a result. Maybe they couldn't even get close to that later on but you've got my point.
