Nice - Lyon match today was a very enjoyable one for me. Because everything changed about the way the match was going in the last ten minutes. Lyon managed to lead the match by 2-0 until then. But who would have thought that Nice would manage to make a huge comeback in a very limited period of time and win? First, they decreased the gap by 1. And after that, Lyon got a red card which was an opportunity for Nice to get at least one point. But they didn't make do with a draw by scoring two goals in the 89th and 90+3rd minutes. What a big 3-2 victory for Nice it was!
Lyon literally collapsed at the end of the game after leading with 2 goals until 81th minutes! That was quite annoying when you leave the game with a score and find totally the opposite lol.
Lens is leading with 1 goal vs Metz, claiming back for the moment the second place.

Lille refused to get another easy three points and offered struggling Brest an away point generously. It's not going good for them, after championship season this performance is unacceptable. PSG is going so good, that may be depressing but still we should've seen a reaction. Lille is far away from top 5 spots now, if they play like that they can't even go to European competitions next year. I guess players are not hungry for more, last years achievements may enough for them. This is wrong but it happens sometimes. If that's the problem they should rebuild the team this Summer.
Lille is no longer a contender of the title, they are just playing to get an european spot imo. I even doubt they will spend money in signing new players in the next window since there is no point at doing so.
So far, PSG could claim the title many rounds before the end regarding the actual results. Its opponents are failing easily. Now Nice 0 - 1 Lyon in the first half.

Waiting for the match of Marseille vs PSG. This is Marseille's home match. Moreover, Marseille's performance is much better this season. Although PSG is a very strong team, I would say Marseille have the ability to beat the PSG team. We saw PSG's match against Rennes, PSG's gameplay was very weak. And moreover Marseille is strong at home. At home they lost just one match against Lens, yet the match was very competitive. So Marseille team can not be considered weak in any way today.

He is definitely a leader, but over all the years at Real Madrid he also was accompanied by world class teammates. He contributed to the success, no doubt.

Regarding his attitude to risk it all with his tackles, I am not so much a fan of that as you might be. His tens of red cards also cost his team the game at times, not to mention the 100s (?) of yellow cards and the games he missed also weakened his team. We could argue now whether that attitude positively outweighed the negatives, but I am not so sure about that.

What I liked the most about him was his strength in the offensive game. I liked that much more than his brainless tackles, not only risking his team's success, but also the health of the other players.

I have to say you have a good enough and valid point. He had a great contribution in the offensive department for Real Madrid. He is one of the if not the highest-scoring defenders of all time. And he's also good at taking freekicks and penalties. He might not get the set-piece duty because of Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe already taking those over, but overall I'd have to say he has a very good impact on the team both on and off the field.

Lille really disappointed me by the result they got against Clermont. They had a good run like three consecutive wins in the Ligue 1. Clermont were really terrible on the previous weeks and they seemed like an easy target for Lille actually. An in-form Lille should have been able to defeat them. But their performance was not good enough for even drawing with their opponent. It is not good to see the last champions like this but I still understand them. It was even like a dream that they won the title in the last season despite PSG.
Clermont had their 3rd winning in 10 matches. I never expected Lille to lose to Clermont in their last match. Winning the match could have resulted to them taking Nice's position on the table. Because they had 14 points and haven't been they won against Clermont, it could have been a total of 17 points. Anyway, their performance last season was great, they lost fewer matches which actually helped them in winning the trophy. But, PSG is likely to win the Ligue 1 title this season

I admit that Ramos is the perfect defender for the defense of a club, but for now, I am a little doubtful that he will be able to play optimally for PSG, apart from his old age, of course the injury that has been received by Ramos has made his performance will decrease from day to day, as a defender performance in guarding the defense is important and now ramos no longer has that, in fact I believe that ramos will spend more time injured with PSG this season than he has played.
I would say that, at his age he is not really a game changer if you ask me. As a player in the locker room and leading then he is good, he will definitely have a "psychological" help to the team, which is not why they are paying him at all, definitely paying him to play, but constantly postponing his return shows that they are really not in a rush to get him neither, they are fine without him and with him the difference will not be huge.
It is not like Messi, he actually does have a huge change and help, proven by the last two champions league games, but I have to say that Ramos will not make that kind of change. Which is why I believe that there is a good case for Ramos to be a veteran presence that helps the team psychologically more than it helps the team right now. Hopefully he will come back and play awesome, but I doubt that would be the case.

Ramos is born a leader and will do anything to make his team win the game, we saw that times and times again in his time with Real Madrid. He will throw himself at those deadly tackles without even thinking about the consequences like a red card. And we saw how he can motivate his teammates. Overall his presence brings light to the team and motivates them. And still, he is far away from decaying his form. So I'm hopeful that after he returns to the pitch, he will have a great effect on the pitch.

Considering the matches of the next round ahead of us, I see that the Marseille - PSG match could be the most delightful one. PSG are still maintaining their superb form in the league. They won 9 of their 10 matches so far. They are 9 points away from their closest competitor. Marseille managed to win after a 3-week break in the league. However, Marseille can't beat PSG since their match on November 27, 2011. This proves that PSG are overwhelming them a lot. Even though Marseille don't win again, I think that they will make big difficulties for PSG. But at the end, PSG should be able to leave with one point at least.
Marseille is not a weak team, they won their last match, and are presently at the third place on the standings. The match will be tough for PSG to win, and I suggest they get prepared. PSG performance in the Ligue 1 have been awesome, and they are 10 points ahead of Marseille on the table. I don't think PSG will get an easy winning from the match, but am certain that they won't want to lose. Which will make the match a quite interesting one.

Well, the game that interests me the most here is that of PSG, although as they say, the trio have not been very well engaged, I think that at any moment they will take the direction that is needed, sometimes it costs so much talent for them to agree and understand each other on the court. PSG has been highly criticized, and the criticism in some is destructive, but the period of getting to know each other is passing, especially with Messi, I feel that Messi at PSG does not let him do what he wants, just as he does. he does in the Argentine national team or as he did in Barcelona, perhaps following the rules and the coach's system is what has cost him.
^ One thing to note is that, Messi is the sole start player (in most cases) for both Barcelona and Argentina. So the coaches allow him to be free and play however he feels like. Just look at Barca right now and you will see, why I said that he is the sole star player there. But in the case of PSG, he is one of the star players so he doesn't get that much free space which is understandable. I think if we let some games pass by, the trio will get the chemistry right, and then they will be very deadly upfront.
Just the fact of thinking that Messi can do the same performance as in Barcelona but better, he can do it much better because Neymar Jr and Mbappé are players who can help him and the team, when Messi was at Barcelona, Messi many times He was the one who mounted the team on his shoulders and only Messi seemed against the opposing team, this because Messi was the one who did everything well and was not wrong, in fact sometimes Barcelona's games were won only by Messi because the whole team he played badly.
And there has to be a lot of bad luck at PSG for those three to play badly, apart from the fact that the rest of the team understand each other very well and do their job in an excellent way, at least that's what I've seen the most in recent games.

I do feel that Messi will shine at PSG but he will be a bit of time to adjust. For example, he was in Barcelona from the start of his life. He knew the people, he knew the club so well, and knew how everything worked there. Now that he is in a new place with new teammates new rules (maybe) and a new playstyle, he will eventually need some time to figure things out. I guess Neymar will play an important role over here. Once he is set to the environment, then we'll be able to see the good old Messi.
Not only for him but for his fans and the audience as well it would take time to digest that he is now not playing for barcelona but for PSG. Surely he will do well there, He will do well whichever team he plays. really excited to see him play for the new franchise and lets see how it goes.

I watched it yesterday at UCL after seeing messi play i don't think it will take long to adapt slowly messi get his role there support from mbappe is also good
If the collaboration between mbappe and messi comes together then they can become a deadly duo

It looks like PSG are currently regretting their decision to sign Ramos in the transfer market , how can it not, until now Ramos has not even played to strengthen the PSG defense and actually Ramos was scheduled to make his debut match against anger but apparently the injury returned and forced Ramos have to go back to recovery.
They cannot regret signing him,despite the injury that troubling him here and there,everyone knows what Ramos can bring to the team.
And I also know that his presence in the team,will boost the confidence level in the players because Ramos is a beast in the field,who plays with all his strength and mind.
His come back will really be a boost.Messi is really showing that he can Excell where ever he is with the good ball he is playing at PSG.
I admit that Ramos is the perfect defender for the defense of a club, but for now, I am a little doubtful that he will be able to play optimally for PSG, apart from his old age, of course the injury that has been received by Ramos has made his performance will decrease from day to day, as a defender performance in guarding the defense is important and now ramos no longer has that, in fact I believe that ramos will spend more time injured with PSG this season than he has played.

That is true. Ramos was the best defender in the world for the past  6 or 7 years but now that he has aged, he will eventually lose some of his pace and defensive technic. But the injury makes it worse. If he can recover soon and doesn't get a frequent injury I'm optimistic that he can play for PSG for at least 3 more seasons on peak form.

Ramos arrival to PSG is expected to strengthen PSG's defense this season, but Ramos injury condition has not healed, of course, the fans have started to question PSG decision to recruit Ramos, it's true what you say if Ramos comes to PSG for free, but isn't it PSG also have to pay his salary?
Moreover, it is reported that Ramos salary almost 20 million euros per season and that is a fairly large salary for players who are prone to injury, besides that PSG also has to spend a lot of money to restore Ramos current injury condition.

I have been waiting since the start of the season to see Ramos in the PSG squad. But he has not yet been able to return to the field after recovering from injury. However, PSG needs Ramos for the next round of the Champions League. He’s experienced, the opposing players get a little scared when he’s on the team. Because Ramos is able to influence the opponents.
As far as I know PSG do have to pay a salary which of course will still be a financial expense, at least they are ready to take that risk and therefore they are willing to take him to PSG. I personally don't believe Ramos will strengthen the PSG defense because as far as I am aware, even PSG bought the best goalkeeper and yes he is Donnarumma but the results so far PSG can still concede. Therefore, I personally am not sure about the star players brought by PSG, maybe in Ligue 1 I think it will still be good but for a tournament like the UCL I think PSG for now will still not be able to enter the finals.

Surely it's big issue for PSG and management, but sadly they can't do right now because it's already done by them, and they have to face this until end of this contact. Currently, they have some very big players, but their game is still not as they have with these players as well, it's also issue for them. But, we have to understand that we can't fight on all around sometime we have to surrender against nature, hopefully in next few weeks this all will be OK for them because right now Ramos is must for them if they want to improve their way for Champions League in this season.
Ramos missed so many PSG match in Ligue 1 and also the Champions League due to injury, but I don't think it's a big problem for PSG themselves because Ramos is a free signing and PSG also considered his condition before signing. In Ligue 1 PSG only lost 1 of 10 match and the rest won. Meanwhile, in the Champions League PSG also won positive results with 2 wins and 1 draw so that they managed to lead in group A. Without Ramos PSG can still win the match despite some analysis that PSG still needs a tough defender to strengthen their defense.
