It is on the desk and if PSG get the Champions League title, Mbappe will not move to anywhere else. With the happiness from it (if it happens) and a huge offer from PSG, Mbappe will not move to Real Madrid.
When you are at Mbappe level, the money is not the problem when there is an offer on the table. More often than not, most clubs will offer you what you want, sure there are only a few teams that can afford it, but they will offer the same to get him for free if he is willing to come to their clubs. This means there was something else about Mbappe deal that did not go through, it wasn't money for sure, PSG has the money to afford to pay him more than anything he wants, if he wants 40 they can give him 50, if it was 50 then they can pay him 60, it is not about money for sure.

What I believe everyone agrees was success at UCL, but I also believe that last year's horrible season was one of the main reasons, they failed to get even the league and that is just way too bad for them. Which is why even if they end up not getting the UCL, they could still be good enough with the current roster to win the league by a large margin, and maybe keep him if they go further in UCL, like semi-finals or finals even if not all the way.

Lyon - Monaco game will be the most important game of the coming match weekend. Two of the biggest teams of the Ligue 1 will clash with each other. I'm favoring Monaco in this game honestly. Because their recent form is much better than Lyon. Monaco won their last 3 games while Lyon were getting 2 ties and 1 win. Even though there is only one point gap in the standings between them, Monaco should have more morale than Lyon and they won't lose here I think.
Winning the match will definitely be tough for Monaco as they will be playing away. Although, they have a good squad and have been doing greatly in their last matches. While, I expected Lyon to win against St Étienne in their last match, but the game ended in draw after Étienne got a  penalty kick in the die minutes. Nevertheless, Lyon won against Monaco in their Ligue 1 last meeting, is was a home match for Monaco, and they lost with 2-3 score to Lyon. However, Monaco is likely to win in their next match.

I wouldn't doubt PSG this season in Ligue 1 because it seems so irrational not to see them walk away with the title at the end of the season. Having great players at the club may be a challenge for a coach of Pochettino's caliber, he may find it difficult to create harmony between his players at the club even though some of them are players from their own country. Messi has yet to find his best form at PSG and still requires him to adapt to other players. I still have doubts about PSG in the Champions League because after Messi came in, Neymar was no longer in his best form. Next week PSG will meet Angers at home for their 10th Ligue 1 match.

Pochettino of course must be able to unite the harmony of these players, which is most important because after all there must be a little ego from those who already feel that they are talented players, so coach Pochettino needs to think so that harmony is maintained with many talented players.
Before, I was the same, maybe some people believed that Messi's entry could lead PSG to become champions of the Champions League, but my view is different, this is a controversial league.
The challenges are tougher and not to mention facing big opposing teams from other Europe, I just want to know the evidence that messi and his friends can lead PSG to the final.

PSG have been eyeing the Champions League for a long time and keep trying to get it every season. There are quite a lot of possibilities that they will have this season if the three strikers that PSG have this season are compact enough and can work well together in matches. So far, Messi has not been able to fully adapt and still needs a lot of time with his team-mates. If Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have adapted well then the Champions League title is likely to be achieved. I don't know what would make PSG fail if it wasn't for the coach who couldn't do it.

Mbappe is happy at PSG and he has grown there throughout the season. I hope he won't go to Real Madrid next season, but it's possible if PSG fail to bring the Champions League title to their base.
PSG's hungriness for Champions League is growing day by day and owners spending millions of USD for this, but they fail in last many attempts in current season with most lethal attack they have very few chances because in early games they were not as they have to do with this attack but most chances after some matches they will be able to set winning combination which will help them for having their dream came true.

Right now, PSG facing two problems first Messi is not doing as team need, but this will be settled, and second one is Real Madrid is desperately looking for Mbappé which is not good for PSG and player because right now they need some better concentration from player for their target.

Taking into account that Mbappé has dreamed of being a part of Real Madrid since he was a child, he himself affirmed that it is very difficult to leave PSG, I think that the player must put everything on a balance and must evaluate in which team he has the most probability of success? If he is with a Messi and a Neymar Jr it is a much greater guarantee of winning both the French League and of the true objective that is the UCL.

Recently, Lille and Monaco finally have started climbing the positions in the standings one by one. They both have a 3-win streak now. Lille are the last champions and Monaco ended as the 3rd. It wouldn't be nice to see these teams struggling a lot this season. I hope that they can maintain their form and continue to get better. I would like to see them increasing the competition level even more.

Wouldn't be nice? But why? Monaco were kings for a while when they were the rich club. Then a richer club came along and bought even bigger stars, so Monaco couldn't compete. It's not even in France.

And Lille's manager and stars also left, so their slide is not a surprise.

Why is anyone shocked or feeling uncomfortable to see their struggles? Smiley

I heard that mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG. Maybe he will go to Madrid after his contract runs out. It is very difficult to unite many good players in one team. Moreover, they have the ego to be the best. Moreover, Pochetino's experience was not as good as that of Tuchel who went to Chelsea. But I know the goal of PSG's management is not only to win the UCL they also profit from the star players by selling their jerseys.

Taking into account that Mbappé has dreamed of being a part of Real Madrid since he was a child, he himself affirmed that it is very difficult to leave PSG, I think that the player must put everything on a balance and must evaluate in which team he has the most probability of success? If he is with a Messi and a Neymar Jr it is a much greater guarantee of winning both the French League and of the true objective that is the UCL.

If Mbappé goes to Real Madrid, he fulfills his dream, he plays alongside his compatriot Benzemá, but he would have restrictions with the team, he knows his team more at PSG than at Real Madrid, and the players at Real Madrid the Fellowship is not one of the qualities that best characterizes them, I think that the player would take on more importance if he stays at PSG, of course it is my way of seeing him just thinking about the style of football that they can offer us.
Here Real Madrid is very evident:

Mbappe, are you coming or not? Real Madrid don't wait for anyone

Quote
But Mbappe must decide whether he is staying at PSG or coming to Real Madrid. Much like Luka Modric and Gareth Bale did back in the day in order to get out of another strong grip that is Tottenham. Real Madrid are not here to wait for anyone.

So far after 9 match-days, Monaco and Lille are in 6th and 8th position in the league respectively. You know, Last season Lille won the league with only 1 point difference from PSG who were in second place.  Even they were very good in the defense only conceded 23 goals in the whole season "in the league on in 38 matches".  But this season's defense has been a problem for them, they have already considered 14 goals in the said 9 matches played. Monaco is playing quite average in my eyes. Hope they can sort out their problems and give a fight to PSG for the title again.

I see that the Lyon vs Monaco game is the most attracting one for me considering the next game weekend. Lyon got two draws in their last two games and they don't have a decent form lately. But Monaco are the opposite of them. They won their last three games in the league and they have started to play like the last season now. Seeing that they don't have too much problem on scoring anymore, this may cause Lyon to have a big difficulty against Monaco. But I'd like to add something also that Monaco couldn't have beaten Lyon away in the Ligue 1 since April 23, 2017. So, I might bet on both teams to score as I believe that they will both score easily.

Well, one thing to take under consideration is that the role of Messi in Barcelona and PSG is different, although he plays in the same position. He has played for Barcelona for years and he knew every player and even Barca knew what an asset he is for them. So he was given the freedom to play like himself and almost however he wanted which is not the case for PSG. Though he will need some time to bond with the players but he has to compete for his position which was never an issue in Barcelona. Maybe give it some time and he will receive more balls from the midfield.
Messi is the leader and has to carry the team in Barcelona. In PSG, he is a star player there but he does not carry anything on his shoulder. Just play together with other team mates and enjoy football, in every moment.
In Barcelona, Messi is a hub of everything, from hope to argument and I understand how disappointed and tired Messi feel in Barcelona. Now in PSG, he just tries to play with his best and in defeat, he won't be a target of every critics.
The bond of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe looks to be improved and they will find each other soon.

Actually, every player needs a bit of time to cope up with a new environment, Even that's true for Messi. In Barcelona, he was like the string that held everything inside and outside Barcelona together. But here his approach and the demand from him from the club is also a bit different. He is a star player over here but NOT the only start player and he won't contribute much outside the field, that's what's different here. I think maybe just give the Messi, Neymar, Mbappe trio a bit more time to build the chemistry between them and things will be eventually okay.

When PSG rejected the $200M offer from Real Madrid and know that they will lose Mbappe with zero transfer fee one year later if they can not convince him to sign a new contract. I believe that PSG were confident that finally they will sign a new contract with Mbappe.

The latest news about that is matched with it. PSG have huge budget and they won't take risk to buy another player to replace Mbappe. Many players with huge transfer price can not play well at new clubs.

I think psg transfer failed and still need mbappe ,whether it will be extended or not is not yet known for sure but for sure mbappe will fight well for UCL "he said" I wish him all the best and success

In a week, PSG are going to play a home match vs Angers. Angers are one of the competitive teams this season considering their results so far. PSG lost their last match shockingly to Rennes by 2-0. But it was obvious that they were going to be helpless in one match. Because their last wins were by close gaps generally. Now they will want to make their fans forget about the loss by defeating Angers. And undoubtedly, I expect them to win.
Angers has never been serious case for PSG like Rennes because Angers history is very one-sided against PSG even they are going good in this season but still they are not going to create any challenge for them.

Rennes situation was completely different as they have history of some good and tough matches and PSG players was playing their third match in eight days, and they were feeling tired on other side Rennes players was much fresher than them but now after having good rest they can perform very good for this match.

The defeat against Rennes may be understandable because PSG played in a fairly busy schedule last week, the defeat did not change their position in the standings, but even so at least it could be an experience for PSG so as not to underestimate other teams, I think even though PSG have a record It's been a pretty good win against angers so far, but PSG should be wary because this season angers was able to surprise by occupying 4th place in the standings with 4 wins, 4 draws and only one defeat, with a fairly consistent performance from angers, of course they could make it difficult for PSG in that match


While I get the point you are making, I would still say that a team of PSG's calibre shouldn't lose 2 - 0 against a mediocre team from ligue 1. It just shouldn't happen. They didn't lose a game thus far, that is true, but honestly speaking most of the other games also were quite close calls. You would expect much more dominance from them, but their problem is that they aren't used to getting pushed for a whole season by their competitors. That usually only happens in the Champions League. That is why they get frequently caught by surprise.

One of the three - Messi, Neymar, Mbappé - is superfluous. One of them has to leave. In this case, Psj will have a balance in the team and Messi will be as usual in his position. And when the enemy attacks, there will be plus one player in defense. Pochettino tries to find a balance, but he fails. And I don't think it will work out. We can expect a couple of such games in the future, when the team will not succeed.
