Nice got another win against Bordeaux this time. It ended with even a huge score which was 4-0. After seeing the last season, I'm really surprised to see Nice playing this good now. They won two of their three league matches so far and the other one ended in a draw. I know it is early to talk about but we might have a new title contender this season.  Grin

To be honest, I really hope that Mbappe will stay at PSG because with him staying at PSG, of course Mbappe will learn a lot from star players like Messi and Neymar. Well, Mbappe may be going to Madrid which of course there are also many experienced star players but that will lead Mbappe to adapt again and of course it takes time. By the way, regarding the away game against Reims, I'm not just waiting for Messi's performance because I'm also waiting for Donnarumma's performance. Of the 3 games that have been played PSG still haven't kept a clean sheet, and I hope that if Donnarumma is played maybe PSG will get a clean sheet for the first time this season.
I totally agree that it is a pity he is most likely going to leave. I was trying to figure out why he would leave this year and not wait one more year. He could have gotten huge signing fee all for his own as his contract terminates. I guess he wants to leave because in his opinion he isn't as much in the limelight anymore with Messi's arrival. But I see that differently, I would say that Neymar, Messi and Mbappé could really set new standards as they all bring different qualities to the table that perfectly work hand in hand with each other.
I do not think that it is a pity, PSG had years to build around him, and they finally did that is true but the team wasn't really filled with too many stars, even Messi had stars like xavi, iniesta and countless others on his best year, Ronaldo had so many good players, Mbappe usually only had Neymar (and that is a big name I accept that) and others were just decent.

Plus, when a player wants to leave, you can't really make him stay for too long, dude was already an expensive layer when he came to PSG and if PSG declines to sell him, then they are accepting the fact that they will keep him for one more season for 160+ million, because that is how much they are missing out on, which means that is how much they could have made but didn't just for one season of him playing. All these getting together makes it basically obvious that Mbappe leaving is not a big deal, both parties are accepting the terms at this point to leaving after one more season.

Lyon made it! They got their first victory of the season finally. Moussa Dembele's goal was worth a lot. It was a really tough game and Nantes actually played better I think. But somehow, Lyon succeeded in defeating them. This is a meaningful win for them and they will aim to maintain a win streak I believe.
There was some reluctance at the beginning about how the game will end but after Lyon scored, it was clear how this game will end.
Now I assume everyone is waiting for tomorrow's game between Reims and PSG and asking whether it will be Messi first match in Ligue 1 and Mbappe last one?

Lyon controlled more than 60% of the flow of the game, it's just that, in attack, Nantes looked more dominant, they (Nantes) took advantage of the counter-attack.

Moussa Dembele scored in the first half and Damien Da Silva got a red card in the 75th minute, Lyon was lucky because Nantes couldn't even score a goal after the red card

I think if Kylian would really go to Madrid he can only be happy. He will definitely earn a bit more money, he will be playing as the real number one star of Real Madrid, he can wear the n°5 jersey from his idol Zinedine Zidane and certainly play in better national league than the one he was playing right now.
Let's not forget Ligue 1 is considered like a second league in terms of overall teams performance.
So, sorry for the French friends but that is the reality right now.

If I'm not mistaken, the French championship is in the top five championships in strength, but it is in fifth place. This is not a second-rate championship, nor is it an elite one, so Mbappe is undoubtedly making the right choice if he wants to go to Real Madrid. Records made with Real Madrid will look much more significant than records made with PSG.

As you all know Kylian Mbappé is getting closer to Real Madrid, so much so that a presentation date has been set at the Santiago Bernabeu! The young French star is pushing for an agreement with the Blancos in order to fulfill his desire to wear the legendary white jersey. The parties now seem to be getting closer, as witnessed by the opening on the front page of the newspaper AS. The same newspaper, in fact, spreads the rumor that would see Mbappé having already set the date of the presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu. Precisely, the player could be presented to the press and fans on September 10.

Well, hopefully this transaction will be completed quickly and find certainty, because Madrid has also increased its offer and should have received a definite answer from PSG. But other than that, I still wonder why some news portals always discuss the star players in this transfer market about the jersey number. As I'm reading now, it's rumored that Mbappe will wear Zidane's jersey number 5. For me, whatever number he's going to be, I don't think it's important either, because even if they were given the jersey number his wish or maybe his dream wouldn't affect to play in the field. In fact, some of the most expensive transfers ever happened and were then given a good number or maybe the number he wanted, but in reality some of them didn't manage to prove their game or even it became a failed transfer.

Messi is certain to have his first match in PSG  match when they travel to Reims headquarters in Ligue 1 on Sunday, and of course if Mbappe doesn't leave of course we will see how good their match will be by using the MMN trio in that match, to be honest, Even though I'm not a PSG fan but I won't miss the match and I really want to see if the MMN trio will be as dangerous as many people are predicting right now.
To be honest, I really hope that Mbappe will stay at PSG because with him staying at PSG, of course Mbappe will learn a lot from star players like Messi and Neymar. Well, Mbappe may be going to Madrid which of course there are also many experienced star players but that will lead Mbappe to adapt again and of course it takes time.

Nantes was playing better the entire match,but Lyon had some really good chance,in the end of the game Lyon received a red card and played with 10 men and was able to win in the end.I still dont understand how this game had only 1 goal and not like 3 or 4.Always attacks and good chances but ended up 0-1 for Lyon

It doesn't matter anymore because they don't give 3 points to better side but who score more. Lyon scored only one goal and took 3 points to home with Moussa Dembele. Damien Da Silva got red card and Lyon played with 10-men in last 15 minutes, Nantes still couldn't find a goal. Nantes should find a good striker, Marcus Regis Coco is far away from scoring. I'm not surprised by this score when I analyze Nantes starting eleven. They don't have any threats. If they stay in the league this season they would be lucky.

So far in the Nantes - Lyon game, I see that Nantes are performing better than Lyon. Lyon still haven't got their first win and if they play like this they will maintain the bad streak. They have really effective attacking players now. They have signed Xherdan Shaqiri and he is in the starting eleven now also. Let's see if they will manage to win this game somehow.
Yeah their performance at this game is not top but they managed to get the three points thanks to that first half goal and after that we have seen some domination from nantes with some occasions and the red card did not make it easy either but this will give a push and positive impact for lyon team but they still have a lot of work to do.

It's not about salary because Mbappe rejected all offers from PSG so far according to news on media. He wants to find a new challenge and wants to be a biggest star in a team he is playing for.
With Neymar, Messi in PSG, Mbappe will not have that position. In Real Madrid, he will be the first brick of the Galaticos 3.0 in Bernabeu. I guess it is what Mbappe wants at this time and PSG won't be able to pay him too high salary. After they signed with Messi and pay too high salary for Messi.
Do we know what the offers were? I mean we know that there were few offers from PSG and he declined them all but we do not know exact numbers as far as I know, and I am 100% sure that it wasn't 50 million euro per year neither, nor was it 2x of what Real could offer neither, PSG could do that, they do not have la liga financial cap type of deals and they could offer Mbappe way more than what Real could offer.
Make it a stupid offer, make it so stupid that people will think that it would have been better to let him go for free instead of paying him that much, make it that big and then you get Mbappe for sure. I know 100 million a year sounds silly, but I just want to give an example; would mbappe say no to 100 million a year? Of course not, which means there IS  a number that he would accept, maybe not 100 because that is too much but there is definitely a number out there.
I think that in any case, we were talking about comparable amounts, both at Paris Saint-Germain and at Real Madrid, and I would not be surprised if PSG even offered a bigger contract, but of course, 100 million is out of the question in the current conditions. Real Madrid seemed to be going to return to the issue of buying out Mbappe in the winter, but it was not Kane's transfer to Manchester City that launched such tectonic things that the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United may not be limited and we will still have time to hear about a very loud transition and I would not be surprised if Mbappe's transfer can happen already in this transfer window.

They have really effective attacking players now. They have signed Xherdan Shaqiri and he is in the starting eleven now also. Let's see if they will manage to win this game somehow.
Lyon finally got their first winning for the season, after playing 3 matches, they won their 4th match. Nantes tried thier Possible best, but unfortunately, they couldn't score any goal, and ended up losing the match to Lyon. Although, Lyon got a red card 78 minutes into the match. Da Silva initially got a yellow card in the first half, and was given a yellow and red card in the second half. With their new player Xherdan, Lyon should be able to win their next match.

It was a really tough match for Lyon. After seeing Nantes started the match better, I also thought that they would have difficulties against Nantes. And actually they still had problems. But somehow, they managed to be victorious by Dembele's only goal. And the red card made things more difficult for them. Maybe they won today but they should realize that they should play much better than this to maintain a win streak.

Today, the new match week start with the Nantes - Lyon game. As we know, Lyon couldn't have a good start so far. They got 2 draws and 1 loss. They were really close to getting their first win against Clermont but Clermont made an insane comeback from 3-1 to 3-3 and it ended like that. Nantes might be a worse team than Lyon in general but Lyon should still be careful in this game. Nantes made Monaco have big difficulties in their first game. I still believe that Lyon will be victorious here.
I wouldnt be surprised if Lyon dosent win as well today,they are playing really bad at the start of this season plus they are playing an away against Nantes that arent playing really good but are always a hard opponent to beat
Lyon is in awkward situation with only 2 points after 3 games. Nantes is relatively weaker than Lyon regarding its performance last season but with the actual performance of Lyon no one could be sure about the outcome of this game.
The match just begins and the odds are @1.8 for Lyon and @4 for Nantes.
