Paris St Germain trailing Strasbourg. Of course that won't affect the league title in any way, but don't think the Paris St Germain supporters are happy about this. The competition is not really something special in their eyes. It would be a stunt for Strasbourg if they can win, but we're only 10 minutes into it so it's still a long way. I don't think PSG is interested in injuries especially at the moment. And neither do the players themselves with a view to the upcoming summer vacation.

Although now PSG have officially become Ligue 1 champions but I don't think PSG will underestimate Strasbourg, moreover PSG will certainly maintain their winning record so far against Strasbourg, from the existing head to head, PSG have won all the wins from their last 5 matches against Strasbourg. Indeed winning or losing no longer affects PSG but I think there is pride as a big club that PSG must defend against Strasbourg later, other than that I think if mbappe not will waste the rest of the match remaining at this time for add to his goalscoring in the league .
With the trophy in hand, I'm actually still quite skeptical about PSG who will play in full. when they played hard there was definitely something they wanted to achieve and now they have the trophy and what is their motivation after this? I don't see anything else that can be used as motivation now except that Mbappe still wants to be the top scorer there

Apparently the bookmakers are taking these considerations into account and the chances of PSG winning are surprisingly attractive:
3,70 - 3,80 - 1,96
Where else can you find such chances - almost x2 for the undisputed leader of the championship. But I wouldn't risk betting on a simple win for PSG and would rather bet on BTTS at 1.59 and Mbappe to score at 2.08.

I believe that there is no way PSG are winning this match. The odds are proving me right also. PSG are already the champions officially and I don't expect them to perform very impressively in this one. But this is an important match for Strasbourg absolutely. Because they are one of the teams that are trying to qualify for even the Champions League by taking the third position. Their previous match ended by PSG's 4-2 victory. Here, I won't be surprised if Strasbourg even defeat them.

But sadly I won't be as bold as you and still want to do something pretty simple. 1.96 for the size of a team that has never been touched by other teams on the leaderboard, of course this is very worth betting on and indeed it is quite worth it.
But the problem is whether they really want to step on the gas or are they satisfied with the points they now have

Strasbourg - Paris Saint-Germain
PSG game is meaningless since they already wrapped up their title win; While Strasbourg, European football hopefuls have all to play for as they aim to secure a top 4 or top 5 position before the end of the season. Also, Mbappe is gunning for the league highest scorer; promises to be an interesting tie. I am going for a Strasbourg win who needs the points more. 3-2 Strasbourg win perhaps ?

Everyone is talking about how PSG squad is good and all, but if you remove Mbappe from it, is it really still looking that good to you? Don't get me wrong they are still fine, but this is the same team that lost to Lille and failed to win the league just a year ago with Mbappe on the roster, you think they would be great without him?
Possibly another win for the league for sure, but they would be much worse compared to other european giants. They lost with this roster to Real Madrid and they will lose Mbappe on top of that. I feel like it is not just about the manager change, their roster is not as great as people think it really is.

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.
because it is very likely that he will leave this season and it is clear that PSG's exit in the Champions League is a failure that is quite difficult for club officials to forgive now.even in the last few days I read that currently PSG are considering Allegri and Conte to replace Poche in the future.
Even though this is still hearsay but I feel it will happen next season
I heard that PSG were looking to get Conte in and that’s a risky move by them, because he’s not a coach that can manage the egoistic squad of PSG. Also while Poch didn’t win the champion league I feel if they’re not able to get Zidane then they should retain him, because Mbappe is about to leave and Poch will be in a better position to guide the team in his absence.

Monaco are on a winning streak of six games in the league now. This is really a great effort by them and it is helping them a lot in the standings as well. They are one of the biggest favourites for taking the third position at the end of the season now. This position is important because the team to finish there are going to qualify for the Champions League elimination stage. Maybe the group stage is not guaranteed but not impossible at the same time. Monaco and Rennes are the biggest favourites now and I think Monaco might win this race.
April 27, 2022, 05:13:30 PM
PSG have been the champion of Ligue 1 in this season and now most competitive with 3rd until 5th standing position and looks interested to watch who will lead this position. Between 3rd and 4th position standing as Renner and Monaco have the same points but different goals created only. Ii think left 5 match will be final for both team lead as 3rd position standing under Marseille beside still have chance with Nice remaining 2 points and Strasbourg left with 3 points. Achieve 3rd position is target with 4 team right now because latest spot chance can qualify to champion league next season.

No coach can guarantee victory in the Champions League (although it seemed to be Mourinho before, and by the way, it would be funny if the sheikhs remembered this and invited him to coach PSG). Even City, who dominate the Premier League year after year miss that title even though they have a perfect (or close to it) line-up for selection of players and excellent interaction between them.
No coach can guarantee the title. A good gameplay is needed to win the title, at the same time I think good luck is also needed. They cannot win the next title after dominating the Manchester City Champions League each season. However, PSG's match strategy and formation was very weak this season. Despite consistently poor performances, the coaches did not change their match tactics. And so if PSG can recruit an experienced coach, and have enough star players in the squad. Then their performance will increase manifold.
It is difficult to talk about the next season and the impact of the new coach, given the fact that the squad with which PSG will play is completely unknown. Even the departure of Mbappe will change the position of PSG very much. Now this is the leader of the team and the one who leads it forward, the rest of the players are much worse in terms of efficiency and I don’t know who can replace him. But even this season, PSG were really bad, I remember how they started the season as one of the favorites to win the Champions League but then their quotes fell to 1 to 10.

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.

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.

From the look of things i don't see Zidane becoming the next PSG coach because the young man has shown his interest in the France national team and with the current information about the France coach leaving the team,i think he is in better position to replace him.
Probably Zidane is waiting for France national coach position and if he get opportunity now, he will take it. Some reasons why I think Zidane will not reject opportilunities to become a coach of France national team.France has a good generation of players now. If Zidane waits for next 5 to 10 years, he might not have as same good players as what he can get now.
Zidane already is a successful coach in club career. He won La Liga and three Championd League with Real Madrid. So it looks good if he debut his career as a national coach.
Because if he wasn't after that, he couldn't have refused a series of big clubs who wanted his services last season, even though he bravely left Madrid at that time.
I personally really liked the way he managed especially when he was at Madrid and I would be quite happy if he returned to work now. but if he is still waiting for France then indeed there will be no other way but to wait again and again

PSG wouldn't wait for Pochettino's contract to expire indeed. They didn't become successful in the Champions League and they were even eliminated by Real Madrid in the early stages of it. This is of course unacceptable for the team as they were aiming to win the title. We expected so much thing from the Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio but they weren't very effective all the time. Mbappe had a far better season than them. And he is leaving this summer most probably. The new manager will need to work hard to make this team much better than before.
Although Pochettino managed to bring PSG to lift the French trophy this season, the club has issued a statement that Pochettino will be terminated by PSG, most likely 3 other players will follow Pochettino's steps, we'll see if the coach who replaces Pochettino is able to bring PSG lifts the champions league trophy,To consider that he is from France as well makes it even smarter, and his son plays in ligue 2 as well which means that he would love to be closer to him as well, hell at this stage PSG could get his son a better contract on a better team for sure. All in all Zidane is the clear choice. If he is not available and just straight up rejects, then Conte would be a great second choice for sure.
Meanwhile, Zidane is indeed the most suitable to replace Pochettino, because Zidane is experienced as a Real Madrid coach. Zidane managed
to bring Real Madrid to win the Champions League trophy 3 times, it has proven that Zidane is the right person to replace Pochettino. Moreover,
Zidane is also used to controlling teams with many star players, so Zidane should be able to control the star players at PSG. Not to mention Zidane
and his family are definitely more comfortable in France, so there should be a very big chance for Zidane to replace Pochettino.
But according to rumors, Zidane is reportedly more interested in replacing Didier Deschamps as coach of the French national team. Hopefully
the PSG management can convince Zidane to accept the offer to become PSG's main coach, because many PSG supporters agree if Zidane
becomes PSG coach. But there are also rumors that PSG management will choose Antonio Conte as an alternative if it fails to convince Zidane
to become PSG coach. And I think it's a very good choice, we'll see at the end of the season who will replace Pochettino.
