The competition for third place will continue, Strasbourg managed to beat Rennes and in the other match Monaco also managed to beat Nice. Now there are three teams that have the same points and even though it's not a hunt for first and second place but still. As the season is coming to an end and they still have a tough competition for a better place, then the rest of the season will be even more interesting with a stiff competition from them.
From tradition of candidate clubs for the third position, I would like to pick Monaco for that position. Monaco will know how to manage their resources for both Ligue 1 and Champions League. They might more possibly get good results in Champions League than other clubs which don't have past experience there.
It has been a few seasons since the successful one with Mbappe, Bakayoko, etc. and Monaco finally come closely to Champions League again.
Monaco, the team with the best performance in recent weeks, has been winning every game for a long time. They even won a match against a strong opponent like Nice. That's why I think Monaco is the strongest candidate to finish 3rd in the league.
Also, their opponents in their next match are not very strong teams, so I think they won't lose points for a few more weeks
One of the things that I really like about the French league is this. Third place is very important and the French know it, the fact that Mónca is doing well can leave it in 3rd place, it is well known that PSG is already the owner of the league, but taking into account everything that Monaco has struggled I think should give the league a better look.
Just thinking that they can dethrone Rennais is something that can happen, they are just a few points away, but as I said before, Rennais knows their need and will not let them down.
I'm also thinking that Pochettino won't be able to maintain his existence at this club anymore. After he failed hard in the Champions League, I don't give much chance for him to stay longer. We have always talked about the Zinedine Zidane possibility but it is still not clear. We still don't know to whom they are the closest these days. Maybe they haven't even started negotiations with anyone. But in my opinion, Zidane would be one of the best choices for this team. He did good with Real Madrid before and I think he might do well with PSG also. But maybe he would need some important changes in the lineup too in case he is brought to the manager position.
It would be great if Zinedine Zidane went to PSG, but the only way for him to go is under his demands, and I think it is very likely that one of them is that CR7 was in the team, and quite possibly Benzema (bearing in mind that Real Madrid did not renew his contract due to his age) however I am a believer that PSG will not sit idly by, they will look for a coach who can take advantage of all the potential of the players they have.
