Reading some frankly dumb headlines about Messi being vindicated because of mistakes made by Neymar (penalty, of course, yes it was weak but he also scored so the media is being unfair I think, even if I did previously say Mbappe should be PK taker) and worse, because of Wijnaldum's handball. I mean come on everybody gives away sometimes it was obviously unintentional right. Anyway, 10 points lead (considering game extra). It's nothing.
When you spend a fortune in a player but he performs like an ordinary player and he miss a penalty then everyone will roast him. They will criticise everything in fact related to him until he returns to his actual performance then they will say that's the player we know. Personally I am still waiting for way more from him..
Yes, Neymar's stats don't look like the top 1 player in the world https://www.transfermarkt.us/fc-paris-saint-germain/toptorschuetzen/verein/583 - he looks worse than all his competitors and it seems unlikely that he will ever be able to repeat the words of Ibrahimovic "I came as a king and I leave as a legend"  Grin
Although it must be admitted that in the national team he has phenomenal statistics and he is close to the top.

We have no doubt that Neymar is a great player. There are very few talented players like him in the world. But he also has a lot of problems. He wears lots of injuries. In the PSG team, he does not get a chance to play 20 matches every season. He has played only 11 matches this season. So despite being a talented player, he may not be a legend like Messi or Ronaldo.

neymar is in a club where his talent will not be well used due to his style of play, I think that if neymar were in a club like real madrid or city he would be playing very well and would not always be injured. the style of play in franca does not suit him and messi this is my opinion



PSG 1 - 3 Nantes

It was a rather sad game, I say that because PSG had 72% possession of the ball but couldn't score goals, on the contrary, once again the old ghost of the past (poor defense) came back to haunt them and they conceded 3 goals. if the clubs were stronger, PSG probably wouldn't be able to be champions in almost every year. because the odds are very low on PSG games I don't place bets and therefore I don't lose money, but I wonder if anyone bet that PSG would win?

Neymar is one of the very special players in football history. But the problem is that he gets injured very often. And I have heard a statement from him like that he would think of playing in the MLS as a season is shorter there. Because he doesn't want to play a very long season every year and he wants to allocate more time to some other activities. In this way, he thinks that he can play football for longer years. I respect his words but I really wouldn't like to see him in a league like that so earlier. It is great to watch him in Europe now.

I agree with what you said if it's like neymar has lost a place in the main squad, I think the injuries that often hit him are one of the reasons he has lost a lot of games this season, besides that we know this season neymar has been absent several times due to having to defend his country international matches and of course that made him very tired and absent from PSG matches.
After all, the squad that PSG has is not a weak squad, PSG has main players and second players with good quality. Therefore, even though Neymar is not included in the starting eleven, it is not a problem for PSG and also, Neymar's 30 years of age has become a risk that is increasingly prone to injury. Although indeed, it is undeniable that anyone who gets hit hard in a match, players will experience different injuries. Anyway, Neymar is still very much needed with good gameplay and not too greedy in scoring goals because even yesterday against Real Madrid even though Neymar came on as a substitute but Neymar can be an assist for Mbappe's goal.

Yeah but this is a guy who's actually been giving less and less returns every season since he joined, so if they're not used to it by now, then they really need to wake up and snap out of it haha. What I mean is that Neymar being ineffective is not new, so he does not vindicate Messi at all. I guess we will all continue waiting if he wants to take PKs like that.

Put Mbappe in the PK and that's all everyone needs to do, or keep Messi and let him train.

Every player must have an unlucky day in his career despite being the best player at this time. Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, Benzema and many of the best players have missed penalties and they have been criticized and even booed for their fantastic contracts. It's easier for people to forget good performances and good contributions from any player when they don't live up to expectations in a match or two, it's not fair to them.

About Neymar I also feel that he has gone downhill this season with PSG. Some of the reasons so far are his condition which has suffered several injuries so he can not appear regularly for his team. I don't know what fans will say to PSG if this season they also fail in the Champions League. Bad words aside, fans will probably suggest PSG let go of many of their best players including Mbappe.

Clermont are a really unpredictable team now. They defeated Rennes, Nice and Marseille not much time ago. They defeated the last two even in away matches. They are at the 15th position in the standings now and they are just fighting for not relegating at the end. It is really hard to understand this team's being this bad despite having the ability to win one of the best teams in the Ligue 1. Thanks to Clermont's defeating Marseille last week, Nice dropped the gap to one point again. The battle for the second position also is very good to watch.

I have weighed the strength of the other teams in ligue 1, no one is showing sign to contend with PSG. Then, PSG is too relaxed and very sure they have won the league. Their only target which has been their target from onset is Champions league.
They spent much for Neymar because of it and yet didn't get it. They spent for Mbappe to synergise with Neymar but to no avail. Finally, they bought arguably the world best player. Let us see how the trio will fair.
Pochettino has not succeeded in formulating the right strategy for his three mainstay players so far so there has not been an extraordinary appearance when all three are played in a match. I think there is something Pochettino has to work on for his team at the moment and having a midfielder backing his three star players out there is even more exciting.

Some midfielders don't seem to like Messi at the moment so the ball flow for him is much lower. I didn't see that happen when he was playing at Barcelona because all the players believe in the potential he has when the ball is given to him. So Pochettino has to finish it in my opinion if he is to see the true strength of the best three players.

Brotherhood is love
Although in yesterday's match PSG was defeated by Rannes with a score of 3-1, but PSG are still comfortably sitting in the standings, in 25 matches they have collected 59 points, while Marshall has only collected 46 points, it is a pity that there is no competition at all in the struggle title, PSG just run alone without anyone to catch up, I really want a new rich person who wants to buy a French club, so that PSG have a rival in the race for the title...
PSG are still comfortable at the top and I am not comfortable about that. I know even if nobody buys any club if the clubs in France want their team to be strong they can do it. I know it was not psg that lifted the league last season. The club that lifted the league why didn't they bring out money and buy good players to add to their to make it more solid. If they can buy good players and employ good manager, we can have a strong team to compete with PSG

It was a really disappointing week for PSG this time. Because unexpectedly they lost to Nantes by a score like 3-1 in an away game. I wouldn't expect more than a draw for Nantes side here. But they did a huge job that's for sure. PSG had no idea what to do against Nantes' scoring three goals in the first half already. They started answering this in the second half but they shouldn't have missed the penalty. That made things worse for them and Nantes got a comfortable win. Nantes are like a nightmare for them now as they defeated them last season too.
no team is absolutely perfect, even though they have messi, neymar and mbappe, PSG can still lose from another team. PSG's defeat to Nantes made me doubt PSG's performance against Madrid on UCL later, whether they will disappoint again??
Nantes were not good but do you know why they won the match? They played as a team and beat PSG. You don’t always need an individual performance to win a game at times you need some group work to win the game. PSG is not playing as a team or unit this individualism indiscipline amongst players who think they are the team is killing this group which should have been the deadliest team put together but EGO getting the best of them. First half was poor coaching and second half was poor finishing. Neymar's missed penalty was pathetic (way worse than Messi's against Real), but Mbappe's miss from inside the 6 yard box might have been worse.

But PSG's poor results will not cost them the title this season as PSG still lead the Ligue 1 standings with a 13-point advantage over other competitors.
Maybe you are right because I believe Marseille and some other teams will not be able to make PSG lose the title this season even though PSG can still drop a few more points in the remaining 13 match this season.

I believe PSG can lock up the title sooner this season if they are able to win the remaining 8/13 match remaining in the season because other teams will also drop points in the rest of the season in my opinion. So far, PSG seems to be still focusing on the Champions League and this is a mandatory target this season in addition to the Ligue 1 title.

Join hands and help me to grow everybody...
Nantes' Counter Attack strategy was beyond expectations they managed to score 2 goals early in the first half and this was quite a surprise for PSG because they kept pressing but their defense looked like they were fragile.
Even though it's still quite a long time and PSG Points don't really matter but for some reason I like seeing them lose in Ligue 1 Cheesy Hopefully there will be a pretty cool surprise shown later until the end of the game

3-0 already  Grin
And the odds of Nantes winning fell sharply from 1.85 to 1.16. I think few people doubt that today they will win. A very interesting and emotional match (which is worth only a canceled red card and a penalty in the added minutes of the first half). It will be difficult for PSG to make the score more or less decent, it seems that today is not their day and it is unlikely that they will be able to reduce the difference in the score in the second half.
And in the end they lost quite embarrassingly Cheesy
They controlled the game even more than 70% but on the other hand their defense was so bad that the constant counter-attacks became a good opportunity to add goals.
This is a pretty humiliating defeat as well as a loss that makes bettors confused about the final result Cheesy
I think a lot of people will lose in this gamble
I think Nantes was so good today,  they capitalized on PSG  defensive errors to score those beautiful early goals. PSG on the other hand were just busy dominating the game while Nantes counter-attacked and scored 2goals.
A lot of people have lost already following the defect of the big guys I hope they do better in their next match.

Its almost 90 minutes and marseille are losing 2 0 at home against clermont what a disapointing result for them despite being dominant all game long clermont managed to score two goals with only two shots on target the only positive thing for marseille is the fact that they are still on the second position with a point away from nice.
This 25th round of French Ligue 1 was full of shocking results because two top ranked teams lost their matches and few other good teams were also down against weak sides which make some interesting changes in league table even PSG is still 13 points ahead of second seed team Marseille which means they have no challenge for this year's title race.

Moreover, the race for other top ranks is now very interesting because few teams are improving their performance and want to have some better spot with European connection, but it's not easy for them because shocking result can happen against any team like we have Bottom side team Bordeaux done good performance against Monaco and match end with score of 1 - 1, and now we have Marseille lost at home against another lower rank which give them some good points for staying in good position.

I am very disappointed too with the result of the Marseille vs Clermont match, Marseille should not have dropped points against Clermont.
Moreover, the previous match PSG lost, if Marseille manages to beat Clermont, this is the chance for Marseille to reduce the points gap with PSG.
Even though Marseille played at home and dominated the match, but not only conceded two goals, however Marseille could not score a single goal.
This means that not only the Marseille defense is playing badly, but Marseille's front line also did not play well. With 18 kicks, none of them was a goal.
This should be a lesson for Jorge Sampaoli that the strategy used did not work well against Clermont, hopefully Sampaoli can make Marseille play better
in the next match. Because if Marseille lose points again, not only will it be more difficult to catch up to PSG's points, Marseille's position can be replaced
by Nice, which is only one point away from Marseille.
