Troyes started badly, they didn't get points in any game. Lyon, on the other hand, defeated Ajaccio, their next match was against Lorient and was postponed. Lyon got extra rest. At the start of the season that's not a big deal though. Lyon should easily win the game today. Troyes haven't beaten Lyon since 2007. It would be absurd to place a bet other than a handicap Lyon win and a Lyon scoring at least two goals.

I am not going to blame the media for anything, when you give them the impression that something is wrong, they are going to write about it, and they may try to exaggerate to sell the news, but the main story is true, instead of blaming the media, i will blame mbappe for being so childish and unprofessional, anybody who watched their last game does not need the media or any news to tell them that something is wrong with the team, and it is because of mbappe's antics, how can a player stop running and start moving the other direction angrily during a counter attack, just because the ball wasn't played to you then, it is possible that at the end of the counter, the ball will find its way to you to score, but you just gave up on it angrily, that is just one of his unprofessional behaviour on that day. Needless to say that no football club can function effectively if they don't work together, and psg is not an exception.

maybe it could happen. nowadays almost all media portals, be it online or newspapers broadcast the dispute between mbappe and neymar.
I assume, the media exaggerated the incident so as to make the situation inside the club become heated. however, this feud between the three PSG strikers has been an issue for the past year. I think the root of the problem is mbappe's too big ego, his ambition to be the best player makes it difficult for him to be professional as he should be.

well, is it possible that the feud between mbappe, neymar, messi will happen again in the future?  if so I'm not sure spg can get the champion league trophy this season.

I personally don't think their problem is too far-fetched or exaggerated by the media, even if the media only reports about it once but maybe I personally am one of those people who believe in the problem. The strong reason I believe it is because, Mbappe is still young but PSG gave him some privileges that would at least make this Mbappe stubborn, arrogant or something. So that disharmony in the squad will certainly be easy to happen, moreover the person who is questioned by Mbappe is a senior player who has won more titles than him. This case at least reflects where Mbappe has no respect for older or more senior players, this case is a bad attitude.

Am I the only one who thinks the Mbappe vs rest of PSG thing is a bit overly covered and maybe even just made up?

I always did think there were too many stars at this team but I wonder if media is exaggerating a little just to make it seem like the whole team is in trouble?

Personally I don't like what Mbappe is doing but almost the whole team is professional and even without liking each other they can make it work on the pitch.

Mbappe is adored by the PSG players, but he was clearly visibly upset during his on-pitch rant. Whenever Mbappe didn't score, he brought the world down with his mentality, attitude, ego, and arrogance. Mbappe's attitude is totally unacceptable for an upcoming start, even though it's normal to be hungry for goals. Due to Mbappe's ego, the combination of Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi will not work. He is young and hungry for success, and the club President gave him responsibility for the sporting project, which isn't right. Mbappe used to be one of my favorites, but it looks like he's becoming arrogant, and that's going to hurt him a lot.

The issue is bad for PSG if their star players can not play well together in a whole team for a general objective. Their strength will be decreased if players have internal conflicts.

From personal view for Mbappe, it is bad too. If he can not control his extremely high ego and continue like this, he will self create bad connections with other players. He will be less focusing on his training and it will be bad for his career. If he continues like this, he will fall further behind Haaland. I am sure that Haaland will be the winner in the direct race between Haaland and Mbappe.

After many years, it is my first time to see a young player at ages 22 - 23 shows too high ego and reacts very rude, arrogantly against his mates like Mbappe. Scoring a few more goals from penalty won't make you a better player. Mbappe should look at Son Heung Min in Tottenham and learn.

Yes, Monaco has shown that they are a very good team, I think that both this team and others in the French league want to take away the prominence of the super PSG that had the luxury of rejecting a CR7 for their ranks, they want to remove all hegemony that they have created based on PSG, this is something that I like, I would really like to see a different team be the champion of the French league, just to see how PSG would be? Since at the rate they are going I don't see them as strong, I think that the PSG coach has already shown that he is not capable of dealing with so many stars in the team, for this they have to look for coaches with a higher level in these cases, like Zidane, Ancelotti and those technicians like Mou who handle high caliber stars.

Clearly the things that are happening at PSG are the action of Mbappé's whim, and it seems to me that what the PSG has shown against two greats is a lack of respect and professionalism, Neymar Jr is somehow very motivated, and now the behavior of Mbappé with Messi on the pitch in front of the whole world have not been the right ones, and I think this is a lack of having a technical director who puts the cold points on him, because he really seems like a capricious child who should do what he wants he wants in the team, and he says that if he doesn't improve it, he won't have any allies when he plays, and he must remember that football needs a whole team, not just one player, so things can't go only revolving around Mbappé, as the Sheikh has made it known.

This was the reason why Neymar left Barcelona for PSG.
Now Messi is back here playing in the same team.
Now it is more like Mbappe is also under thier shoulder's
Should have taken the chance to leave hehe

I have always said that Paris Saint-Germain cannot keep three selfish superstars in one team. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe all are all ambitions. Everyone of them wants personal glory for themselves. The best decision then was to let Neymar go by all means. PSG would not have peace until one of Neymar or Mpappe leaves that team. The competition between these players is very unhealthy. If the club is not careful PSG player would start having cartels or cliques. They might have three cliques, each one headed by the three superstars.    

Lyon is not necessarily winning even has a 70% chance and playing at home Because Lacazette still has not shown his performance yet after getting it from Arsenal. As a real attacker, Lacazette is not so sharp in front and the opponent can still read where his moving area is, so if he does not improve in the next match, maybe Lyon can win only 1 different goal, or possibly draw.

They will overcome this although there will definitely be another friction
Actually things like this have happened often and even from the previous season it's been like that because if I'm not mistaken last season Mbappe was not too happy when he was not given a pass by Neymar even though he was free and not under close guard but they managed to fix that and now the same thing is happening again and I don't think this will be long either.

Selfishness is felt here, where players still have great arrogance with the "star" name they have. It is quite difficult to discuss that, because it comes from oneself. They will change if they want to do so, in other words without any coercion from anyone. This still happens often, especially in teams that have a lot of star players.

To be honest, a certain degree of childishness can be argued about Neymar, so I would still not be in a hurry to label Mbappe alone and declare him the only culprit in the conflict that has developed between the players. The most important thing is that the misunderstandings that arise between the players do not turn into an abyss, because no matter what anyone says, football is a collective game and mutual understanding between such team leaders as Mbappe and Neymar is the key to success. Competition is useful to a certain extent, but there is nothing good when a player intentionally turns off from the game because, in his opinion, he was specifically deprived of a pass. On the other hand, it may be good that it has spilled out right now at the beginning of the season and there is time to rectify the situation and build bridges between members of the same team.

It will be fine if they should put the competition in their games. Mbape will be trying to score more goals than Neymar while Neymar will want to do the same,and this will be a very healthy competition that will lead to the growth of the team.

PSG are supposed to be a team that no team will be able to beat in the champions league,but it happens that when it comes to competitions like that,they won't be able to perform the way they ought to, despite the fact that they have all the good players and big names in the team.

No, I didn't participate, I don't have intention right now but I might consider it in the future

Tomorrow we have Lyon vs Troyes. Lyon is better while Troyes failed twice so it should be a win for Lyon. For Saturday, Monaco - Lens will be interesting and of course for Sunday, it is PSG - Lille. Monaco and PSG are favourites for bookies and I think the same with a possible draw in Monaco game.

I agree with some of your opinions about Mbappe, he still has a childish and selfish attitude. Of course this was never good for him especially because he needed other people to support his career and success as a striker. He's still very young and I think he's still very unstable in terms of emotional control, so obviously that's going to have a huge impact on the team's performance which is actually very want of the players to play as a team. I think he has to change that attitude as soon as possible and the coach has to tell him well.

That's basically the situation in the league now. It's not about the league though, it's about the owners of PSG which made the club into a very rich club and got all the great players, which made the league boring. So now, all teams including PSG do not get much from the league tv rights since people find it boring to watch the league, since it is already known, and only French people and few foreigners watch it.

I hear that bundesliga and ligue 1 got 1/3 of what premier league got for tv rights in my nation for example. So it's boring, and the owners will pay the difference out of pocket to keep PSG a good team and keep their branding and marketing at high levels to stay relevant.

PSG seems very difficult to overcome this situation. The quality of the players is high, but they are extremely selfish and do not take steps to end the conflict between them. The tension between them is growing day by day and this is reflected in the team.
We are still at the beginning of the league and we will see what can happen until the end of the year while the team is so restless even now, I think the situation is really bad, I hope they can calm down a bit with the new deal

Mbappe and Neymar are being talked about absolutely everywhere and the fact that the team could be in trouble, but so far PSG are leading the standings as standard and have scored 10 goals in just two games, five in each... 3 goals scored by Neymar and 2 goals each by Messi and Mbappe... I think it's strange to talk about any problems when all three are performing brilliantly...
