^ Yes, I agree because the problem is the other teams in Ligue 1 are just not strong enough to give consistent trouble to PSG. We all know this and expect that PSG is going to win League 1 but the main focus for PSG is always the Champions League and they failed there miserably in my opinion.

They really should have beat Real Madrid with the squad that they have. And I really have to say if PSG cannot beat Real Madrid and also cannot win the Champions League with this squad, I don't think they will ever be able to do it.

Even if we look at the achievements of the previous seasons it is clear that this is very disappointing considering they were in the semi-finals last season of course now they are experiencing a setback even with newer and better players in my opinion.

They have failed now and indeed if they say they want to be happy they can try next season but they have to start buying players now because most likely Mbappe will still have to be replaced

Since PSG have already been knocked out of the Champions League, their only goal now is to win the Ligue 1 title. And they are already well ahead in the race to win the title. Marseille in second place will not be able to catch them. The PSG team may have lost some rhythm. However, they are the strongest team in Ligue 1. And they will win the title while maintaining their dominance in the league.

If you realize it, PSG are way ahead even when PSG were still part of the UCL. The only thing that needs to be underlined is, PSG are still not strong enough because even though they are good in Ligue 1 but they are still very weak on the European stage in the UCL of course. So, I personally don't say Ligue 1 is boring because PSG dominate, because PSG can still be held to a draw and also beaten by mediocre teams moreover PSG have a star squad but they can't promise consistent wins and that is something weak.

Because indeed the competition to win this league is quite easy, there may even be no competition to win this league because PSG are always superior with money, thus giving a fairly large gap in terms of player quality which makes the competition uncompetitive.
Maybe in this case the pleasure or not is measured by the amount of money that is poured lol.
but if Mbappe is happy then he probably won't want to leave PSG now

I would guess that even though there is a good case to be made for Ligue 1 to be not a great place to show your prowess, I feel like some players are just looking for a challenge and that never really made sense to me. You could make 50 million euros per year, and win the league every year for 10 years straight, and you already won it so many times as well.
Isn't that great? I mean who wouldn't want something like that? Why do you need to challenge yourself to some other bigger deals and end up doing something bigger and harder and get some more respect? You will end up with maybe like 500+ million euros for the next 10 years, total of maybe 1 billion when you retire, isn't that enough respect?

Listen, if you never push yourself to the limit, you will never know what you are capable of. And easy is not an option for the Greats of the game.

Trust me, every player wants their legacy to be lived forever. I think that's what the players should go for. Obviously staying in the PSG will give the players League title and lots of money for a long time but they will never know what actual competition could bring out from them. And money isn't respect, legacy is respect.

With this knock out we are going to have some wholesale changes in this squad because now it's time for this all and management need to do this very wisely just money is not enough for having all things as we have example of Chelsea they have done great things with money and good decisions but here have some great stars and best coach is not working mean need some better things from owner as well.

French Ligue1 title is in their pocket because now just ten matches remaining and gape is 15 points from second and third spot teams which is not easy to recover as just three more wins, and they will officially champion. But still main focus is next year's Champions League which is now biggest challenge for them, hopefully we will have some good announcements which bring some positive mind set here in this team.

PSG point table topper still now and big point gap others team.PSG played really well but UCL match they didn’t show Their best performance. Unfortunately PSG lost This match against Real Madrid. But PSG more Strong team in Ligue 1.Strasbourg still have to chance to closet point in Marseille, Nice and Rennes.I hope Strasbourg will be ended in top 4.

Winning the European Champions League with great teams from other countries is certainly not easy, especially since PSG have a lot of mental pressure to lose to European competitions and it is proven that they were eliminated from Spain's Real Madrid, maybe in League One PSG can talk a lot where they are currently adrift.15 points from their main competitor olympique Marseille, of course PSG must be more patient for the.competition, competitors such as olympique Marseille, Nice, Rennes, and Strasbourg have tight competitors to get a ticket to the Champions league next season, because of the four teams have a chance the same one

Well, actually they are very superior after in previous seasons they always entered the Final and semi-final phases but now with a more luxurious squad they failed in the last 16 phase and this made the fans disappointed about it.
When they say Ligue 1 they can say a lot it is very clear because the depth of their squad is very much different from other clubs, both in terms of finance, management and players.

PSG are continuing on their very boring run for the league championship now. I have said boring because they are so far ahead of their nearest opponent in the standings which is Marseille. A point gap like 15 points is really huge obviously. And there is no way PSG even nearing to losing their advantage. They will continue to dominate the league for more years unless some other team renovates themselves and sign solid players like PSG have done. Because we don't see a thing like Lille's being the champions very often.

PSG as the only team have much money than other participants and not any competitive there with small fund value between PSG and other team on Ligue 1. I think what have you said is true with boring game continue by PSG because they have 15 points left from Marseille and then 10 match left maybe if keep continue 3 points on week 33 PSG as the champion of Ligue 1. Several match left I think only Monaca as difficult against team and other team looks easy for beating by PSG.

The Ligue 1 competition is not good enough for top players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but money has brought them to play there instead of competition and stiff competition between teams.

The Ligue 1 ranking is much lower than the Bundesliga and other top leagues in Europe or maybe the same as the Portuguese Premier League ranking where there are only 2 representative teams that qualify directly for the Champions League each season and one other team has to qualify for it. So it makes me think that Mbappe, Messi and Neymar really weren't having fun playing there much longer than we expected. Next season, maybe Mbappe will no longer play for PSG and he will move to another team that is better than the current PSG.

With PSG gone from UCL and the team is in disarray I believe that the league will be even more harsh for them. I mean every team will want to take a bite out of them meanwhile their own players would be unhappy with the current situation and Mbappe looking to get out. When you are in that much trouble and you are not really doing that well, it is not really that easy to have a great result even against easier opponents.

Yes, they have been great in the league so far and have a lot of point difference but I believe that they could be hopeless about rest of the season and there could be a lot more "given up" results coming very soon.

I'm sure that PSG will have no problem finishing the season in Ligue 1. No team there, no matter how much they want to take a bite out of them, can't adequately compete with them. The only very unpleasant moment for PSG is that they have been eliminated from all competitions (even from the French Cup) and now they will be “cramped” in Ligue 1, which they have actually won. It will be something like a routine boring championship that you just have to wait. It's a sad situation for fans and players alike.

Now with everything that PSG has gone through in the UCL, it is too hard a blow for the whole team, I don't know if Mbappé has become more entrenched in going to Real Madrid, the case of Messi and Neymar Jr are going through a hard moment of their careers, I think that the French league if they are going to win it, everything is a matter of raising their heads and facing everything that is coming, the fact that everyone expected more from PSG is for the simple fact that they have in the same team a series of world stars, ballon d'or and the players who are talked about the most and from whom more things are expected, these are currently the expectations that are expected, this usually happens in all teams, now I think that Real Madrid He smiles much more at Mbappé, next to Benzema it will be another story.

It all depends on what the player gets maximum pleasure from - from tough competition or from money. In my opinion, Neymar and Messi made their choice in favor of money. When they were in their prime, they had options to move to the EPL for comparable salaries, but for some reason they didn’t and both ended up in the farm league where it’s impossible to claim top 1 among players (unless you win the champions league every year). Mbappe, who looks better than both of them and who is offered absolutely incredible money to stay at the club, is leaving the club and league 1. This is a pretty strong signal that this league is worth it.

Agree with what you said because indeed when Neymar and Messi left Barca they actually had a lot of options because there were still a lot of clubs who wanted them at that time but indeed the money at PSG was better in this case regardless of being competitive or not at least they can still shine there because the quality of their play is very different.
For Mbappe himself, if you look at the money, he will definitely stay, but if you look at other things he will leave this club because in my opinion the league here is still less competitive when compared to other top leagues in Europe. On the other hand he is still very young and of course he wants to break any record now because compared to Mbappe's current record it would be monotonous if he was still there

Well indeed in this case it might be a long debate about the incident that befell Benzema and Donaruma but on the other hand the match is over and the referee's decision cannot be contested in this matter.
Winning a trophy in the domestic league for them is not too strange so it's because they have now dominated there even since a few years ago so it's very natural that no one cares about it

That's of course correct and I really didn't want to challenge the referee's opinion. In fact other referees might have decided the same way.

Anyway, the win of PSG with 3 -0 was accompanied by the fans yelling at Neymar and Messi. This is probably not how Messi envisioned his stay at Paris. Then again, I think he doesn't even care anymore. He won 6 trophies as a world soccer player and is most likely not going to win another one. Let's see if Mbappe can one day manage to get close to him in terms of trophies. Mbappe is certainly a real rocket.

That's true because regardless of the decision, the blunder is still quite fatal in this case and indeed we can't do much even if there are protests everywhere.

This is a form of disappointment for the fans because indeed with the advantage in the first leg it was clear they had high hopes for PSG.
But indeed, in this case, I don't know why the supporters in Ligue 1 sometimes act immaturely. There are so many riots that occur due to the behavior of the supporters there. Obviously this is detrimental and of course tarnishes especially Ligue 1 which incidentally they are one of the favorite leagues in Europe

You are right to have called it a boring run.

Their target was cut shut unexpectedly by Real Madrid. The joy is no longer there. They will continue to dominate the French ligue-1 until someone is ready to buy quality players to match the likes that PSG has. I am not sure that will be happening any soon

With the first spot being taken since the first weeks, all the fights are concentrated for the second spot for CL and the other european competitions.
Strasbourg might end in the top 4 if Rennes drops some points otherwise I don't think OM and Nice will leave the 3rd and 2nd spot easily.

PSG players were completely booed in their last league game. Not all by the way, but Messi, for example, does. Supporters are fed up with the team not performing and even if they easily become champions in the competition, the fans no longer care. We should also not be surprised if the owner of the club no longer feels like it, and starts looking for a team in the Premier League, for example. His patience is running out, PSG has been trying to win the Champions League for 10 years and it just doesn't work. The competition is not at all interesting for PSG.

Although PSG managed to beat Bordeaux with a fairly large score, it did not make PSG supporters happy. Because in that match PSG supporters
showed their disappointment because PSG were eliminated from the Champions League. It is very different from PSG's appearance in Ligue 1 which is
very dominating, PSG is indeed unmatched in Ligue 1 this season, the points gap with Marseille who is in second place is quite far. So the points that
PSG have are impossible to catch anymore, this is what makes some people see Ligue 1 as boring. Because indeed the winner is most likely PSG,
even though Ligue 1 still has a few more rounds to play.

I agree with you surprising things like last season in Ligue 1 where Lille won the Ligue trophy can be said to be very rare. So if want Ligue 1 to attract
more football fans around the world, there must be another team in Ligue 1 that has almost the same financial strength as PSG. So PSG have
a balanced competitor and make Ligue 1 more interesting, Let's just wait and hopefully there will be big investors who buy one of the clubs in Ligue 1.
