At least PSG is still lucky with financial strength, it is enough for PSG to be stronger, because in Ligue 1 there are not many strong teams like those in the EPL and Serie A whose competition is more competitive. So that's the reason I say PSG are lucky enough, because even though PSG have a better squad but the reality is that PSG sometimes find it difficult to win and not only in Ligue 1, because it happens in other events as well. Well, anyway PSG this season has been great but I personally still don't believe PSG will survive like this in the coming seasons, but if their coach is really replaced and recruits Zidane as coach then of course it will make PSG even better.

Now this season is very important for them even they already have both hands on French League title, but they are very desperate for Champions League which is dream for owner and management if this season they fail to have this then surely we are going to have some good number of changes in this team with Zidane is also in connection for this job even it's not clear but all possibilities available because of their finances and if Mbappé is going to leave this then surely they will try to have some better replacement because currently we have some good number of players those are very competitive and can do much better here with Messi and few other stars.

French Sports Authorities need to do some better policy for having some good investment in more clubs because improving quality is also very significant, currently it's all bore just one team PSG is enjoying good.

Paris Saint-Germain are comfortably top of the table, they are hardly ever bothered by other teams. Although in the last 5 matches they have not been so good with two defeats, but that does not make them approachable. 19 wins, 5 draws and remaining defeats in 27 matches are enough to keep a 13-point gap from nearest team OGC Nice. They will certainly win the title this season.

They're ahead of the curve this season. With the comfort of this, they had the chance to rest their important players before the Champions League matches. After all, we can say that they have guaranteed the championship in the league. We saw a PSG in the French league this year that met their expectations. Last year's champion Lille is a disappointment. They are very bad this year. There is no team that will force PSG to the top.

What I initially did not think turns out to be the case, PSG turns out to be more vulnerable. They've already lost a few times, you can't keep talking about underestimation. I thought so in the beginning. It sometimes seems like they don't feel like it at all. The fact that everyone knows that Mbappe will leave after this season doesn't really help either. They do become champions, but due to this reduced focus, they can still play against Real Madrid in the CL.

It's true as you said mate, PSG should not neglect their domestic league, although they can make sure to lift their domestic league champion this season, but they also have to play consistently in all competitions, even though we know PSG are very focused on champions league, because they have never experienced lifting the champions league cup, psg will soon face real madrid in the champions league, but if psg is not consistent in playing in the domestic league, I'm afraid their performance can also be affected in the champions league, because the opponent they face is the winner. Most Champions League titles.

Although PSG will most likely be the winner of the Ligue 1 trophy this season, because the difference in points with Nice is still quite far. But PSG
should not show a declining performance in Ligue 1, I don't know the real reason PSG in the last 3 matches lost twice in Ligue 1. Is it because PSG
are too focused on the Champions League competition or are they underestimating their opponents in Ligue 1. Whatever the reason, the defeat
to Nice is unacceptable, especially if we look at the match statistics, PSG really didn't play optimally. Even though PSG is not reinforced by Mbappe,
PSG should still be able to score goals, because PSG still have Neymar and Messi who are quite good at scoring goals. But PSG were only able to shoot
at goal twice during 90 minutes, this is clearly something wrong with PSG's game. Hopefully the defeat against Nice does not affect PSG's performance
in the Champions League, which in two days PSG will face Real Madrid, Hopefully PSG players can rise and show their best performance when facing
Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League.

13 points gap is actually huge for PSG but it's still enough reason to relax. It's best the keep to their regular winning to avoid narrowing their points making the chances of Nice to get closer possible. For PSG game against Real Maldrid i think their first leg has given a clear picture of what the second will look like. Real Maldrid Had no attempt in the first leg meaning the second leg will be as good as a walkover with or without Mbappe

Gap 13 points and left 11 match I think not have to worry and looks still enough reason to relax and keep focus for second leg on champion league against with Real Madrid, I think have locked by PSG as Ligue trophy in this year behind still have 11 match but I see only stuck when against with Monaco and Marseille, if success pass both team I think have easy and 100% guarantee as PSG the champion in this season because left several match against with mediocre team and looks easy for PSG for winning, but still not any possibility with achievement on champion league second leg, maybe if PSG failed they will finish Ligue 1 as soon possible to get trophy early.

When you see PSG dropping points and you decide that you should too.. OM 0 - 1 Monaco, both teams are good and so on but cmon, OM is likely the only team that might be able to get closer to PSG but whenever the latter drop points they do the same Undecided

Now Nice is in the second place with 13 points difference from PSG with 11 games left.

after the match was over, NICE players immediately celebrated their 1-0 win by waving the NICE flag on the field. Only 10 games left until the season ends, I'm sure PSG will learn from their defeat.. but messi and di maria performed poorly, it seems PSG are already very dependent on mbappe.

They do not even need to learn too much about their loss here. They are 13 points ahead of everyone else, and that shows you that there needs to be like 5 game losing streak for PSG while Nice wins all 5 games. Do you really think that it is possible for such a thing to happen? I really doubt that, which means that PSG just ignores the league at this point.
Even when Messi and Neymar is playing, they are just ignoring the league so you may see good names out on the field but those good names do not play as well as they should. Mbappe is of course a great player, so even when you do not rely on him, even when you are good without him, with him on the pitch, he will make a big difference for sure.

Nice's head coach Christophe Galtier has already made a great point about this, that Paris Saint Germain has Verratti, and there are Di Maria, Neymar, Messi and other players in attack, but Paris Saint Germain with Mbappe and Paris Saint Germain without Mbappe are two completely different teams. Indeed, despite the presence of such stars in the team, the club does not show the same stellar game. The only one who should not be touched by these critical arrows is Mbappe, but in light of the possible departure of the player from the team in full growth, the problem of his replacement arises. Now the club management has an option with Rashford, but I don't think that in this case we can talk about any equivalent replacement.

Marseille team with another defeat at home this season i don't know what its going on with them they lost so many points by losing some easy games at home and after yesterday loss against monaco they let nice team get the second position and now rennes and strasbourg are catching up to them they both play really good this season and they can easily get ahead of them especialy rennes who are only a point away.

It's a shame that marseille didn't win, if they won then NICE's position would have been shifted...

Martins' goal for Monaco was unexpected, I can say in this match Monaco is very lucky. strasbourg and rennes are a threat to marseille, if marseille does not win in all their next matches then their position will be shifted.

In last three games they lost 8 points out of 9 which is big concern for them specially they lost against very weak teams, and now they need some good effort for catching Nice at second spot because they are doing very good job and now have very strong case for staying at this position.

Next week is also very interesting as Strasbourg hosting Monaco and Lyon going to host Rennes with these matches we will have some clear picture of this season as now who is going to stay at top and which team is going out of competition Lyon and Monaco mostly unpredictable and now require some strong effort for going to take some better spot on other side currently top teams are improving gape of points for better end of this season.

I see that Nice beat PSG in terms of strength:

Shots - 11:8; Shots on target - 6:2

Such statistics can hardly be called simple luck. And I also don’t see an argument in justifying PSG with the fact that Mbappe did not play - the composition of PSG is such that they are stronger than any team in France even without Mbappe. Maybe yesterday their concentration was bad because they were thinking about the upcoming match in Madrid.

Totally agree here. Simple luck is when the result does not match the gameplay and we can see that since beating Real Madrid in Champions League 2 weeks ago, PSG have completely dropped off in performance.

Dominating in the UCL game in shots and chances, with zero saves to make from Donnarumma, to now conceding MORE shots and MORE chances than they created, you have to accept that the Parisians seem to be dropping off in performance.

As you said though, it could be just them saving everything up to guarantee their qualification. I never understand teams that do this however. Mentality is a habit, not something to switch off and on.

The mentality is really a habit, but the player has a choice: go into a hard collision while fighting for the ball, or remove the foot. During the most important matches, they behave more violently than during simple games. And opponents, knowing this, allow themselves more aggression (in simple games), therefore they have a certain advantage.

They will certainly win the title this season.

However, the defeats and unsatisfactory results from the matches they played were not liked and expected by the fans. PSG should not waste their chances to keep their points high compared to their rivals in the table although I strongly believe they are still safe at the moment. It's fine if they want to focus on the second leg of the Champions League vs Real Madrid, but a poor performance is not something that is expected of them in the league.

In the middle of this week, PSG will face Real Madrid at the Santiago Barnabeu and this will be a decisive match for both of them. Real Madrid have been playing in impressive form in a league where they have won 4 of their last 5 matches. While PSG is very uncertain in the league but the Champions League is something different so we can expect a win even if the another team are not favourites. PSG are 1 goal ahead in the first leg, but it doesn't guarantee anything for them if Real Madrid manages to play with their best quality.

I think 13 points gap from OGC Nice looks safety for PSG keep stay on 1st standing position and have chance as the champion of Ligue 1, maybe against with OGC Nice last week not as important match for PSG because they have waiting by Real Madrid on 2nd leg champion league where this competition as important decision for PSG to get trophy, beside Ligue 1 keep as their target to be winner but I think PSG really want to know how they can get champion league trophy for the first time.

It is a big difference and safe enough for PSG to relax a little bit. They have more important task in Champions League with Real Madrid are waiting in Bernabeu. PSG won in the first leg with a superb late goal from Mbappe but Real Madrid will be more attacking aggressively and more dangerously in the second leg. Especially the second leg match will be hold at Bernabeu, their home stadium.

Ligue 1 is almost reserved for PSG with that difference and it will be a very big shock if PSG can not win it.

PSG won a negative result in week 27, but Pachetino responded casually without showing the slightest anger, maybe losing an mbappe player resulted in PSG's sharpness a bit, but with a defeat in week 27 it will not affect PSG's mentality to deal with it. Real Madrid in the second leg later, because the focus of PSG now is to win the title, because in the domestic league PSG will not be able to be chased by anyone anymore..
