I really appreciate PSG's gigantic form in the Ligue 1 so far. They are playing like they are in a video game.  Cheesy  They have lost only once so far in 18 Ligue 1 games. And they won 14 of them. They have a gap like 13 points even with the second-placed team which are Marseille. The other teams including Marseille are having a very big difficulty in keeping up with PSG. And as there is a very wide gap in strength between PSG and any of the rest of the teams, it is not seen as a surprising thing.

PSG journey in Ligue 1 this season is not too surprising for me, because all this time PSG has dominated Ligue 1 and with a star-studded squad about it is not surprisin if the competition in Ligue 1 right now is not competitive, because PSG rivals do not have strength to be able to balance the strengths of PSG, I think with the difference in points that are quite far now of course it can be ascertained that PSG will win the trophy with the difference in points far enough from the club that is in the runner-up position.

You've probably watched few of PSG's domestic league games this season - most of them were pretty tough and PSG had a last-minute result. Often they had to recoup after an unsuccessful start to the match. Their results are really impressive (the best result from the top 5 championships), but the game itself leaves much to be desired.

Slow start, and often falling behind too, and coming back from defeat to majestic victories that look and feel dramatic. Indeed. The only problem with this kind of pattern is that it cannot be sustained. Manchester United was doing this a lot and impressed everyone but eventually the psychology takes a toll on players and every team comes to meet you knowing they can take a lead. They will soon learn to hold onto that lead.

PSG have been dominating the season so far and I'm very sure that they will continue to do so as for the whole season. Because there are no team to compete with them very seriously now. Monaco, Lille and Lyon are far away from their look in the previous season. Maybe Marseille can be the team to get close to them in the standings the most but still I expect PSG to reach the title by at least a ten-point difference.
PSG winning Ligue-1 is almost a sure thing when you see other teams wasting points easily. I believe PSG should focus on winning Champions League at any cost at this point since the games there are way harder and to prove that the team is a solid one.
I don't think there's anything to doubt about PSG in Ligue 1, with a squad like that it's very possible for PSG to maintain their top position. But for his journey in the UCL, I really don't believe PSG will go further, the opponent that PSG will face in the last 16 is Real Madrid, where Madrid this season has also dominated La Liga. With that kind of capital, of course, the morale of the players will be maintained but at this moment I personally am not sure for PSG but for the next match who knows what changes will occur because we know Messi's chemistry with PSG's gameplay now looks better.

There's only a fight for the second place standings in Ligue 1 it seems Cheesy, It seems that we have to hope that PSG will lose in the next matches so that Ligue 1 will be competitive again. PSG's next match will be against Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir, it will be an advantage for Lorient to play at their home, but judging from their ranking in the table, it looks like a win will be difficult for them to get, what do you think?
even though the possibility is very small but suppose it can be like that because indeed if you look at Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga it's almost because the leader of the standings in each of these leagues seems to have not been overtaken and makes the league a little boring and not exciting because it's no longer there. there's a competitor that makes this fun.
PSG currently lead with 13 points more than second-placed Marseille.
This is already very difficult to pursue even I can confidently say that PSG are confirmed to be Ligue 1 champions again this season

Im not satisfied with how they are playing. Was expecting much better results in the league and that they destroy other teams. Most of the results that they won were in the last minute. I tbink Pochettino isnt suited for this job at PSG honestly

Although left than 13 points from second placed position its Marseille I can't guarantee with PSG keep consistent until end league, looking last year where they have dominance but at the end league Lille back to top position and success get the first trophy and destroy dominance PSG more than few year as the Ligue 1 champion, will be the same like this season PSG still not get consistent performance.

PSG players are still human, So there must be situations where PSG's star players get injured or play badly. Especially if the injured are the main
players from PSG, there is a possibility that PSG will lose in some matches. So I agree that it is impossible throughout the season for PSG to
play consistently, definitely some times will lose points. The most important thing is that PSG always maintains the difference in points with the team
below it, don't get too close. With quite a good squad depth, PSG have good enough back-up players to replace the main players if injured or
playing badly. Then I believe PSG have learned from their mistakes in the previous season, which PSG failed to maintain their dominance.
So my prediction this season PSG will win the Ligue 1 trophy, especially this season PSG managed to bring in many star players. So this season's
PSG squad is much stronger than the previous season, meaning that PSG's chances of winning the Ligue 1 trophy are even greater.

PSG are very comfortable at their place in the league table now. It is like that they are taking revenge on Lille after missing the title chance by a near gap. The teams except PSG really have no chance for the title mostly. Because they don't have a solid lineup like PSG have. And this makes things very difficult for them to compete with a this strong team. As a result, one of these teams become the champions rarely. And as long as the balance of the league is like this, PSG won't have any problem nearly all the time.

They have many stars in it. They can buy very talented players from big teams. They so strong at financial thats why they can buy lots of good players. Sure, other teams will be difficult to chase/compete with PSG in term of buying such good players.

The PSG club is in a very good financial position. And the owner of the club is rich, at the same time he is willing to spend a lot of money for the club. Which other club owners do not. So the management and coaches of PSG can take star players as per their wish. PSG's goal is to win the Champions League. They will not hesitate to spend more money for this.
but until now their role in UCL is still fairly mediocre, nothing special, even they are almost struggling to be in the group stage.
I feel they still have shortcomings in terms of teamwork, which sometimes looks very uncoordinated and seems to play individually.
they have to fix that if they want more at UCL.

Lille may not be in a good position, but in Ligue 1 top scorer, Lille striker Jonathan David, is at the top with 11 goals.  Laborde, Mbappe Ajorque, Bayo and Ben Yedder are second with 9 goals.  On the other hand, Mbappe is on top with 8 assists, while Payet and Clauss are second with 7 assists.  In the French league, very good matches have been played in recent years.

I think one season is enough to gain experience from Messi and Neymar. Mbappe is already an accomplished player, he has already played with all (against all) star players in the world, now he needs to farm statistics and achievements to go down in history (competitors like Haaland are not asleep) and it will be more convenient to do this in Real than in PSG (which is season as if it was in the wrong league and plays with midgets and not serious rivals).
Messi is going to last years of his career and his time in PSG is counting down. He can play well in up to 3 seasons and after that, seriously I don't know how he will play. He can score some important goals and decide matches but his importance for club will decrease dramatically when he is ageing more.

Mbappe is a very lucky player. He is not only talented but also belong to a right generation to take over leading positions from Messi and Ronaldo. Mbappe and Haaland are players for next generation. We mentioned a lot about Bale, Hazaard, Neymar but they are long in period when Messi and Ronaldo were in their best. So chance for Hazaard, Neymar and Bale to take over those two greatest players in last 20 years is very very small. It's impossible mission for them.

If they had played in period without Messi and Ronaldo, I think Bale, Neymar and Hazaard would have won at least one Ballon dOr'

I think that the importance of Messi right now is already small for PSG, but he will definitely play a couple of seasons as the name >> real benefit on the field. Football is a media business.
As for the Ballon d'Or, it is a paltry, discredited award and it does not matter - for example, Xavi and Iniesta do not have a single Ballon d'Or for two. This is funny.

But I just still can't accept Messi taking over the penalty kick in the UCL yesterday, even though if it was given to Mbappe I think it would be even better because it was a good chance for Mbappe to score a hat-trick. Yesterday, we knew PSG won against Monaco 2-0 and the first goal was scored from a penalty kick and it was Mbappe who took the shot. I just don't understand why when a player has a great chance to score a hat-trick but doesn't get support from a star player like Messi, I would prefer Messi to support Mbappe as a young potential player and give Mbappe a penalty kick in yesterday's UCL match against Brugge.

I think Messi is very worried about the fact that he is far behind Ronaldo and he would like to be closer on goals scored (or maybe he's trying to get away from Levandowski even further). Therefore, he uses every opportunity to improve his personal statistics. It may be selfish, but such motives are understandable.

I think mbappe should stay a little more, he will gain more from Messi than any player. They make a perfect duo already. Their last 2 matches was either one assisted and the other scores and vice versa. The Messi and Mbappe dynamic reminds me of the Ronaldinho and Messi dynamic in 2004. Obviously not as legendary but still similar in some ways
Well, Mbappe's chances are still very wide open to achieve that success, but the reason about the competition for the most goals between Messi and Ronaldo or other players I don't think is something important either. The rivalry is always raised in the media so they continue to compete even though they have played in different leagues and also, if Messi is really competing for the highest number of goals then it should have been in yesterday's match against Monaco, Messi took the kick but he didn't. Well, whatever the reason, the most important thing is that they have played better than before, but I'm still curious whether when Neymar returns to play they can still play well like in the last two games or not, it's interesting to watch.

The French government has now decided to tighten security in Ligue 1 matches, this season there have been a lot of riots in the Legue 1 and resulted in several players being injured by throwing fans, and even the French government has threatened to stop Ligue 1 if there is another riot that causes referees and players injured, next season the stadium is required to install a net to prevent throwing and also the entry of spectators into the field.

In my opinion, what the government is going to do is the right thing, because this season we saw many matches had to be stopped due to acts of the crowd and of course we haven't forgotten what happened in the match between Marseille and Nice last august.

I noticed that now almost everyone talks about Messi and Mbappe and very rarely thinks about Neymar - this is quite surprising considering that he is still the most expensive player. He may not be as bright as in his first years of arrival in Europe, but he plays consistently well both for the national team and for PSG. I think he deserves no less attention than Messi.
You are right but due to his very lengthy injuries he is not effective like this due is now doing even he is most expensive and good player, but I am having feeling that he could be good in next few months after Mbappe leave PSG for some other club because then he and Messi can do something better with both have same nature but just due to Neymar injuries peoples not talking too much about him.

Currently, he is out for some long period with ankle injury which is surely needed some good intention if he wants to be effective player again in this PSG and for Brazil national team. If he is able to recover as all expecting, then surely we will be able to watch him in Champions League match against Manchester United.

According to doctors' forecasts, he was out for a period of 6 to 8 weeks, which means that he will have time to recover and even play several warm-up matches in the French championship. This is good news for PSG, because the confrontation with Real will be very difficult (did you write about the match against Manchester United in view of the results of the first canceled draw?).
