I had already guessed that Lille would not be able to win 1 in the league this season. PSG focused more on the Champions League last season. So Lille got a chance to play well and win the title. My guess was that Lille would be at least in the top 3 teams at the table. However, their performance is very poor. It is doubtful whether they will be able to qualify for the Champions League.
Lille performance last season was impressive, they were able to compete with PSG for the title and won it with 83 points. But, this season have been very bad for them, their performance are not stable. And also, with their current condition, it will be difficult for Lille to end this season at the top 4, winning the Ligue 1 is really impossible for them. They are presently at the 8th position. Although, it seems Lille's focus are probably on the Champion League. Because they are performing greatly in the Champion League.

The reason why Lille are struggling a lot in this season is that they are not as much consistent team as PSG. Lille don't have a lineup that is full of too qualified players. In the last season, they were just very good when it comes to team play. And they managed to have this great harmony until the end of the season which helped them reach even the league title. But now, they are like that they got what they wanted and they don't even want to make the same effort again.
https://www.transfermarkt.com.tr/losc-lille/transfers/verein/1082If you look at this, you will see the main reason why they are not as good as they used to be. The main reason why they are bad is the fact that the difference between their sold players and bought players is 40+ million euro total value difference.
Value is something subjective and some great player with high value could end up being horrible whereas some young wonderkid you get for cheap could turn out to be amazing, we have no idea which one it will be before players start playing, but it is obvious that in this case they lost good players. This caused them to have a weaker team and that caused them to lose a lot more games this year.

Honestly speaking, I expected a much tougher side than what Lillie is doing.
They're not up for the task at all, isn't this as a result of bad management ?
I'm not impressed a bit, same goes with Athletico Madrid.
Too bad they are defending Champions and are doing less.
This is about League 1 but I just want to say Atletico is only in its tough time, this may change over time.They're not up for the task at all, isn't this as a result of bad management ?

Lillie won League 1 last season, but Lillie is just a club that can not continue to impress people. I think you can get what I am saying. Just like when Leicester won EPL.
Maybe poor management, but all happening is not a surprise.
This season is like not competitive again as PSG have gone very far.

It's not the first time PSG have played poorly as favourites! They lack teamwork... That's why they have very poor execution of good chances... To recruit superstars into the team is certainly very good, but the coach must still be able to make the game work, which has not yet been done!
3 draws and 2 wins in the last 5 matches is still pretty good actually, but I expect them to lose
On the other hand, I highlight the game of Ramos which is still fierce even though it is old
Ramos is one of the best central defenders ever, even though he is quite old now but he cannot be underestimated by other players, unfortunately in that match Ramos again got his first red card in ligue 1 and it became his 27th red card in all competitions in his football career
On the other hand I was a fan of Sergio when I was in Madrid, he always played with his trademark tough style, when he moved to PSG because he was not young anymore I thought at first he would control his emotions a little but I was wrong about this . Only played a few times in Ligue 1 and UCL now he has pocketed his first red card

The performance of Marseille team is a bit confusing they win away games they have done it in the last three games but they struggle at home they only got one point from their last two home games but luckly for them they are still in the third place with a game less than the others the competition will be tight for the european seats i wish we can see the old marseille again in the champions league.
Not only Marseille, the performance of all the teams in Ligue 1 is confusing. Lille was the champions of the previous season. We all expected them to fight for the title this season too. But they are now in the eighth position of the points table. Again, despite PSG having a strong squad, they have shared points with weaker opponents like Lorient.

The example of Paris Saint-Germain is a separate topic and it should not be extrapolated to the entire championship. Also, it is not necessary to talk about the strength of the league solely by the nature of PSG's games with outsiders. There are quite objective indicators, like the UEFA coefficient table, and France occupies quite high positions there. To be more precise, France ranks fifth in this table. Another question is that the financial resources of the other French clubs are not comparable to PSG and the club is out of their number, which allows you to have some advantage in recruiting a priori, but the class of the league itself is quite high.
If you remove PSG, then it turns out that France is inferior to Portugal and maybe the Netherlands
(there is no desire to check the calculations and clarify this point, but Portugal will definitely be ahead if PSG are removed). And the distance to the top 4 is quite long (even with PSG), so I think it's fair to say that the French league is weak. full member

Maybe PSG are already far ahead of every team in the standings now. But at least, we are witnessing a great rivalry for the second place in the standings. Lastly, Nice captured the place again but they have the same points as Marseille, 33. Rennes and Montpellier follow them right behind with the same points, 31. I feel like Nice or Marseille will succeed in finishing the season at the second place. But it is really hard to make a clear prediction.
There will be a tough fight for second place in the points table this season. Each team in the tenth position in the points table has a chance to come in second place in the points table. Marseille and Nice have 33 points. On the other hand, Strasbourg in the tenth place has 26 points. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Lens team in second place on the table. Lens, Lille and Monaco all three teams have the opportunity and potential to move to the top of the table.

We are seeing similar problems in many teams this year. The teams that we know as the best team lose points against weak teams with low performance.
We can say that there is no team that performs well apart from PSG. We can see surprises in the match results of all other teams. One of the worst teams in the league can get points from one of their best teams

]I'm not sure the French league or Ligue 1 is a weak league, because if the teams in Ligue 1 were weak teams then we'll get where Messi is now easy to score. But the fact is the opposite and Messi admits Ligue 1 teams are strong teams with high power gameplay, the teams in Ligue 1 are still strong teams and strong leagues too. There will always be strong teams and weak teams in every league, so I can't assume that this is a weak league although indeed, if we talk about Ligue 1 at least it's only about one PSG team. But the reality is not so, because the proof is that PSG itself is still difficult to get points even though the opponent they are facing is a team that is in the relegation zone.
If PSG has a worthy rival in Ligue 1, as it was not so long ago with Monaco, then PSG simply buys the top players of the team (for example Mbappe) and the team ceases to be their competitor in the fight for the championship. Ligue 1 is a good league and cannot be called weak, at least teams like Lyon and Monaco show decent results in Eurocups, and this is a very solid indicator. PSG is a toy in the hands of the rich, so it's hard to compare them with other clubs Ligue 1.But we cannot separate PSG from Ligue 1 and other clubs because this is something that cannot be separated.
PSG will still be PSG, a club that is in Ligue 1 even though they are different from other clubs

In the French league, what surprises me most is Lyon's very weak position. Last year, Rudy Garcia was sacked for fourth place, now Olympique may just be left without a place in Eurocups next season. Was the transfer of Memphis Depay such a heavy damage for them?
The difference isn't that big in reality between the teams in European leagues if we don't take PSG on consideration. Lyon still lacks 1 game, assuming they will win it then they will have 6 points away from Nice in the second place. It all depends from how positive results they will get in the remaining games and whether they could make a clever signing or find a new tactic or not. Lyon was giant team 10 years ago now they are struggling a lot to even reach Europe. Nice is doing an amazing job this season second place for them is really big. Too bad they cannot fight for the title against PSG its just a big advantage .
