Nice must be really contented with the result in the Marseille - Monaco match last week. They have captured the second position again after so many weeks. And I assume that most people expected Marseille to get at least one point in this match. But they can get surprising results like this sometimes. And it cost them their position in the standings this time. But they are still competing for that position very heatedly. And I believe this will go on until the end of the season. It is very important to finish as the second because the second team join the CL group stage directly.

I'm a PSG fan but I think that their constant dominance makes the French league not very competitive, every season it's easy to predict who was the champion of league 1, it looks like they don't play against other teams, in my opinion the other teams need to improve a lot and for that they have to invest in good players and coaches to be able to compete against PSG, because in this current way, there is no competition, PSG even has the luxury of having a big difference and points, they become champions missing many games to finish league 1
You said the truth but other clubs in that league can not blame all on PSG. Why rich foundations did not choose other clubs in France? PSG has something attractive to rich foundation so that they decided to invest in PSG in Paris. Before PSG, Lyon dominated Ligue 1 but people did not complain it as the end or something bad for this league. They complained about it because they think it is unfair (that I believe it is not true) for other clubs when PSG dominated the league with money from their foreigner boss.If PSG can win Champions League, they can attract more foundations to Ligue 1 and the general quality there will be improved. Just like Premier League, after Chelsea, they have Manchester City.

I can't imagine the future of PSG if mbappe has officially left PSG (because of rumors like that). when facing NICE last time, Dimaria, neymar and messi played full. I admit NICE is one of the strongest teams in the standings this season, it looks like they will be in 2nd place until the end of the season.
The departure of mbappe mbappe, I don't think it will have much effect on PSG front line, now PSG has a front line that is quite full of the best players available and if mbappe leaves of course it will not make PSG lose its power over the dominance of ligue 1 later, I think if Without mbappe, PSG will still be able to dominate Ligue 1 because so far not PSG rivals are too strong to stop them from winning the championship trophy, besides with the money PSG have, they may find it easy to find a suitable substitute to fill the position left by mbappe. So, you don't have to imagine something terrible if mbappe goes

PSG as the only one team on Ligue 1 have financial strength than left 19 other team and I think between PSG on other Ligue 1 team participants have far different between transfer player value until with salary received by PSG player, but I see not looks have competitive on Ligue 1 although have many derby and classic match but financial is most important thing on football competition right now. With financial strength than other team now PSG success lead as 1st standing position and have gap 13 points left from OSG Nice although some time PSG defeated by mediocre team.
There were few teams which have some better financial position but still PSG is having huge difference and with current way it's going no other team can compete with them in this case which is wired because few seasons back Monaco was also very good in Ligue 1, but suddenly they have downtrend last year Lille won title at the end of season with just one point gap this is also amazing.But sadly in this season, we have no competition from any team and mostly good teams are struggling badly in league as they are unpredictable but good things still happening as Nice, Marseille and Rennes are doing good but no challenge for PSG so here French Sports Authority need to do some better things for improving quality and better financial things because right now it's all boring and if it's not changed then it's going more down for millions fans around the globe.
Whereas the previous season I was very entertained when Lille surprisingly won the Ligue 1 trophy. And I thought this season would be a surprise
again, it turns out I was wrong, PSG again dominated Ligue 1. Where the difference in points PSG is now 13 points ahead with Nice who are
in second place, although PSG have lost twice in the last 5 matches. But PSG's position is still safe at the top and it is quite difficult to catch
PSG's points. I'm even 99% sure this season PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy. It's too difficult for other teams to compete with PSG, who have
very strong finances, PSG can bring in as many star players as they want. Even Lille, who the previous season managed to win the Ligue 1
trophy, because this season couldn't buy good star players, their position has dropped a lot and is now in 7th position. I hope there are other rich
people who buy one of the clubs in Ligue 1, for PSG to get a rival and that will make Ligue 1 even more interesting.

Surely everyone who love this game in France want to some interesting competition, but sadly it's not easy to improve quality its need some good money and here most of the club owners are not doing anything for this even Marseille owners are not doing good things for their team mostly they are staying at second or third spot if they spend some good amount then surely they can improve some more and this is good for this league and competition with team like PSG.Few seasons back we have some good game from Monaco but sadly now they are also struggling badly and have very hard time for qualifying into European cup for next season with Lille who won last season title now also struggling very badly recently they have some better results but still not good enough.

Last week was great for Nice I think. Because they won one of their most difficult matches that was against PSG. But it was a well-deserved win without a doubt. Nice had a solid performance and didn't give much chance to their opponent. And it was really surprising to see Marseille losing their home match against Monaco too. This caused Marseille to lose their position to Nice. It seems like the competition for the second position is going to be really fierce until the last moment of the season.
The fight for second place will attract attention until the last matches of the league. Paris SG has no rivals for the leadership position. The race for second place will continue. Marseille is my favorite for that. Nice is one of the candidates for this race. Marseille will be second in my estimation. The relegation zone continues to be exciting.

PSG probably has a bigger budget than all the other teams combined. However, it is also about branding as well. If you were offered 50 million euro to play, would you go to Lille, or PSG? Or would you go to Lyon, Marsielle, whatever team? Or PSG?Obviously people would prefer PSG in that case and that is not something they built overnight. They weren't always this good, first of all they got Neymar, that was the first piece of the puzzle but until that moment they already spent a lot on less known players, still great but not as good as Neymar, and then when the team reached to a level where Neymar could make a difference, they bought him for INSANE amount of money. Then they got a bit lucky to get Mbappe, he wasn't chepa and he was known to be great but nobody assumed he would be THIS great. So it takes like a decade and a ton of money to build a club like this.

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.
I think that this time they really need to get the Champions League Trophy because without that the other trophies are pointless at the moment. So, I think we all know that they are going to win the league title but I think even they know that the main target is the Champions League Trophy. And with the type of squad that they have I think this is the first time that it can be achieved. otherwise, it is going to be really hard in the future for them.

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.
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.PSG should not be too concerned about them only because they are the best team in Ligue 1. and they are a really good team which can give problems to the teams in the top spots. and the squad seems to be the best that they ever got. with this squad if they can not win the Champions League I don't know what they are going to be able to do it with. They have to perform better in the Champions League and prove that they are worthy of it.

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. Salah and Mane for example, for years nobody would say they had talent and Mane especially, even today after all his achievements no one would put his on the same level as many PSG people or his fellow wingers there. Yet he works so hard and always fights for the ball, when 0-0 or when 5-0 he does the same.
The moment he decides to switch on and off depending on how important the game is will be the moment he fails as a footballer in his coach's vision.
I feel like Neymar switched off after going from Barca. That is perhaps the most expensive blow for PSG. If I'm honest, and I actually really like him, but have never admired him.
I think that there are a lot of things going on in Messi, Ramos, and Neymar's head when they are added to the PSG squad. Ramos didn't want to leave the team, Neymar was not sure if it was the best decision that he made. and you all know about the Messi situation that he was in. I don't think that PSG minded all that things because they got really good deals and also good players. but I think the mental health of the players were not up to the mark.

This is exactly why I rate players about work rate more than about talent. I admire teams like Dortmund and Liverpool, where the majority of the players were not starting out as people you would say were the most talented players, but they put in large amounts of workrate and mentality that take them to the next level.
Salah and Mane for example, for years nobody would say they had talent and Mane especially, even today after all his achievements no one would put his on the same level as many PSG people or his fellow wingers there. Yet he works so hard and always fights for the ball, when 0-0 or when 5-0 he does the same.
