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.

PSG's appearance at the beginning of the season was indeed extraordinary, in the first match PSG were able to beat Clermont with a landslide score of 0-5, in the second match PSG were also able to beat Montpellier with a score of 5-2, while in the third match PSG again made a surprise by beating LOSC by the score is 1-7, from 3 matches the coach applies a different formation, in the first match PSG applies a 3-4-3 formation, in the second match PSG uses a 3-4-1-2 formation, while in the third match PSG uses a 3-4 formation -2-1, I am very sure that in the domestic league PSG can definitely become champions, but the biggest goal is the Champions League, because the Champions League is PSG's toughest test, but this year PSG's chance to win the Champions League in my opinion is more open compared to last year.

I think LOSC Lille is not as imagined as a strong opponent because in the previous match Lille only won once which in my opinion is not a tough opponent for the strength of the team from PSG, because I think PSG's strongest enemy will be Marseille in October.

At a time when PSG can get a lot of goals Lionel Messi the legend is still calm, I can't stop thinking about how many goals are created when Messi is in high spirits to get goals.

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.

That is exactly the way I think, that PSG needs a competitor that drives PSG to new heights the same way it happened for so many years between Barcelona and Real and sometime Atlético Madrid. A little while ago it was also said that Real has no interest in seeing Barcelona collapse financially. The reason is that Real Madrid benefits a lot from having a serious competitor in their league and I agree. What would La Liga be with a collapsed Barcelona and a Real Madrid that becomes the champion every single year?

It would be in the best interest of PSG to finally have another team in Ligue 1 that is head to head with them until the very last day. It would make it much more exciting to watch French soccer, but right now it isn't attractive for international fans to follow PSG for a whole season. There are some spectacular goal festivals from time to time and it is fun to watch the offense combine in such a great way and score seven goals per game, but it is not really what soccer fans are after.

Lille is considered one of PSG's main rivals for the Ligue 1 title. But PSG won by 7 goals against Lille. Now it doesn't look like PSG will face any obstacles to winning the Ligue 1 title. PSG will win the French league title as usual this season too. Now they are slowly moving towards winning the Champions League title. It is expected that PSG will play well in the Champions League this season.

Not many big clubs can play like PSG who can get a lot of goals in a very short time because most of them only get less than 10 goals, if PSG can get more goals then it will give a high number of points and will It is very difficult to beat PSG when it is already at the top of the French league rankings.

The chemistry between Messi and Neymar is unquestionable. they can complement each other, however, mbappe still has a higher ego between 2 more senior stars. The efforts made by PSG and Galtier management were quite effective in clearing up the problems that occurred in the dressing room.
we can see how psg's strength is at the moment, especially in the match against Lille. The MNM trio are so compact, that whoever the club is against PSG will really take into account their defense line.
PSG is a real threat to all the clubs that will compete in the champions league. it's just that, if there are problems related to mbappe again, then, psg's performance will not be stable.
IMO, currently the challenge for galtier's homework is to create solid chemistry for their attacking trio.

Still, this is something to be reckoned with.
Apart from Ligue 1 which is still said to be a farmers' league, it is still very good to see so many goals that occur in every match.
The Champions League is a league that indeed gathers tough clubs there, and indeed PSG still has a chance but this is indeed different because it is not only players and productivity that determine, but also the experience of playing in this league.

Well, this is indeed a pretty good thing, but on the other hand we also can't rule out the ego and small spark that exists in these three players.
Ligue 1 has just started, there has been a debate between Neymar and Mbappe which in my opinion, although it is not long, but clearly will still be very influential. fortunately in Ligue 1 there is still no opponent who can really compete with them because if they don't get along with their condition coupled with a tight league, I don't think this is good enough.

The Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio can become the most destructive trio in the world if they have a good understanding among themselves. The chemistry between Neymar and Messi is very good and we saw it in Barcelona. Now the new addition is young Mbappe. This trio is capable of scoring against any defence.

Galtier now needs to prepare his squad for the Champions League match. Forward and midfield players are now performing well consistently. Galtier now needs to bring consistency to the defenders' performances. In a platform like the Champions League, a small mistake by defenders can lead to defeat. And so defenders must be careful.

You're right, in fact it's not that I wish PSG ill, but I also want to see another French team emerge that makes it more competitive, just as in the Spanish League they have Real Madrid and Barcelona, I would like to see PSG against any another team of that style will count on PSG, normally a team that is very competitive against one of the stars is that it has at least 2 world stars and only then does the team work around those stars so that they shine and make the team shine in general, So that's how Real Madrid and Barcelona used to be, of course now things have changed, in both teams there are many stars, which makes it interesting.


I just hope that Mbappé has gotten over that whim he has against Neymar and that anxiety for power in PSG of wanting to decide between the players and with whom he wants to play or not, I really liked the first goal that he they did between Messi and Mbappé, he was the fastest in the league, if they start to play that way, I don't think even in Bayern in a merger with Real Madrid they will be able to overcome them, they are players who when they leave the differences behind and start playing they do really magic, this is something that I like, and I'm sure that all PSG fans and those who are not, will also like it, for me the only one that flatters there would be CR7 so that it is completely perfect, but that's like too much to ask.
