A terrible start by Lyon... I got caught by surprise about it honestly. Because you would remember the way they made a comeback previously. Being stuck in the relegation zone for many weeks but still finishing in a Europa League spot.

This was a great recovery and promising for next season too. But now this 3-0 loss against Rennes stayed way below my expectations. Sad

I know it is was just the first game but it shouldn't have been this bad anyway.

I hope at least they don't make a similar start with last season. I really want to see them fighting for a Champions League spot. I have missed the old Lyon.

To be honest, I was also quite surprised by the big defeat Lyon got and although Lyon was not able to win, but it was a must for Lyon to be able to end the match with a draw, or at least lose with a narrow score. But anyway, what happened was Lyon lost 3-0 and were completely unable to score, despite the fact that Lyon had one penalty too but Georges Mikautadze as the executor also failed to score from the penalty kick.

At least, Lyon should be able to start this season well like the comeback they did in the second half of last season to finish in the top zone of the table. The bad thing is, the next match Lyon will play away and the opponent faced is also not easy, because Lyon will play against Monaco. But at least, if I'm not mistaken that Lyon's rise last season was also often obtained about good result in away matches. So yes, it seems still possible for Lyon to be able to provide good resistance also for the next match against Monaco, who knows.

Just like you, I miss the old Lyon too, years ago they had much better teas and they were in the first place of the French Leageu like PSG. But they lost their power and even in the last season, Lyon was about to get relegated because of the bad results they got however they had a better performance after the new year but it seems they couldn't have a good start in this season with their coach Sage while Sage was not bad in Lyon.

The fact that Lyon is the fourth biggest club in the league with a loss start and not that great last season shows that they are not really managed that properly and there is something wrong with the team. Maybe the players don't like each other or something?

I do not know what's the reason but it looks like they are a great football club with a great football culture from the fans, and they have players that worth something. If they are fourth in valuation, there is no reason why they should finish the league outside of the top four, they are capable of that and have the talent level to do it as well, for some reason they are just not doing it, and that causes some issues for them. I think we need to see this as something that could be considered better and bigger. We need to of course do something bigger and profitable, which will not be all that complicated, we just need to see this as Lyon failing to do as well as they should and they need to fix that asap.

There are some forgotten concerns where Lens won after defeating Angers with a narrow score of 0-1 and this made Lens' first away win this season. Even against a weak team like Angers, it still feels difficult for Lens and I hope they don't continue to be in trouble like in this match. Because Lens won with the only goal in the 28th minute but since the remaining minutes were still very long, the most worrying thing was conceding a goal and thwarting their victory and they should have been able to widen the winning margin by scoring another goal.

Judging from their playing style, Lens really needs a lot of improvement. Starting the season against a promoted team, they were only able to score 1 goal. Not many attacks were able to threaten the opponent's goal. There are still many shortcomings that must be evaluated and fixed by w.still, otherwise Lens will have difficulty facing big teams in the future. Last season, Lens finished in 7th place, after previously being able to finish in 2nd place in the final standings. This indicates that Lens' performance has decreased drastically.

At the beginning of this season I had speculation that there were several clubs that would try to compete and prevent PSG from winning the title again.
-Marseille

It is not in vain that Marseille spent a fairly large amount of money for a middle club like them in this transfer market.
It is recorded that they spent Expenditure funds of: €84.50m
While their own income so far from selling players is: €76.00m

Not only that, in the French League, Marseille is now the top 3 Overall market value in Ligue 1. Check this picture:

Source: Overall market value change Ligue 1

Marseille has made many changes to its squad this season including making de zerbi as coach, apart from that, Marseille ambition to be able to compete with PSG requires them to spend a lot of money to recruit new players, after losing Aubameyang and several of its main players last season, Marseille continues to be active in the transfers market in fact they are continuing to try to bring in several other players at the moment, so it would not be surprising if Marseille is the third teams who has spent a lot of money so far even though in fact it will have the potential to make their finances unstable in the future, in my opinion what Marseille is doing at the moment is a good thing, but in my opinion they need to be able to control their spending and not try to follow what PSG is doing because their finances are very different.

PSG has dominated the league for so long and I hope that what Marseille is doing now can provide competition and also strong resistance to break PSG dominance this season, so that I think that way Marseille will not waste the money they have spent so far In the transfer market, Ligue 1 has now started and it is very important for Marseille to be able to maintain their consistency in the league until the end of the season.

Well, they started awful last season as well, they have some issues but nothing all that crazy, its something that we can assume that Lyon will be able to actually recover better this time because they look like they have a better squad and they remember how they did alright and all they had to just remember what they are doing. We need to just focus on how to get better results by working towards having something better, it is going to be a tough deal if we are not going to see them win, because they really need that.

I do not really know what caused them to start being this bad, normally they were the best team in all of France before this PSG take over happened, what made them this bad is beyond me. Rennes isn't really a terrible team neither, so losing to them is fine and its only just one game, not like they have a bunch of game so far, they just end up doing something that will not be all that complicated, we need to focus on getting better results in the future.

Not many people thought Lyon would start the Ligue 1 season with such a poor performance. In fact, Lyon's decline also partly reflects the problems that many other French clubs are facing. Marseille, Monaco, and Lille have all had poor results in recent seasons. Ligue 1 television rights prices have not increased, leading to financial difficulties for clubs participating in the league. The pandemic crisis and falling TV rights revenues have led to Lyon's decline.
In addition, Lyon's transfer management capacity is weak, reflected in the departure of key players such as Houssem Aouar and Moussa Dembele. And Lyon is always impatient with their coach. The defeat to Rennes partly proves that.

Not only Lyon is declining, but even the current champion PSG I see that happening to them. If French clubs continue to play poorly in Europe, they risk no longer being one of the top five leagues on the old continent. Ligue 1 could be dethroned by two leagues from Portugal and the Netherlands.

In addition, Monaco who was appointed as the host also did not waste the support of fans at home and they sent home another promoted team, St Etienne, without bringing home any points. But unfortunately here Monaco is not like usual who can always score a lot of goals and I think they should have been able to do that. The same thing I feel like Lens and maybe Monaco should be able to take advantage of the opportunities available to be converted into more goals.

Well, maybe the adaptation will continue in the new season and hope that the top teams can always win with convincing results.

It's very obvious that PSG are once again going to dominate the french ligue1 as usual, they kicked off their campaign for the season with an excellent win sending a clear message to all their counterparts in the league. Coach Luis Enrique has numerous high profile of players at his disposal at PSG this season and will look forward to taking advantage of all that to see that his team wins the title and perhaps break the deadlock in the champions League, however the expectations are high in the city of paris and just maybe they could get it right this season, though it's looking like they are already getting over with departure of kylian Mbappé.

With the departure of Kylian Mbappe from the Parc des Princes stadium, I thought it would affects Les Parisiens performance but it turns out to be reversed. Luis Enrique taking proper stands with PSG as they're excellently having good records on opening Ligue One matchday. Paris Saint-Germain have no competitor that would stop them this season because they're ready to take on any opposition with good amount of positive energy.

PSG won an extraordinary victory after preseason or losing Mbappe and Enrique proved that they still have to work hard even though their megastar players have left the team, I'm sure Enrique will work hard to rack his brains for PSG but the easy victory they achieved in the first round does not mean they have solved all this easily, Le Harve is not a club that has good potential to block them PSG does not have many ways and players who can be relied on to make a surprise and they have played so many matches in preseason also the fact that they mostly failed, and vice versa with PSG even though they lost their megastar but they still have many names there and Enrique is the bearer or main actor of the victory. At this time it is not yet clear how the impact they feel after losing Mbappe but that will happen when they will play in the Champions League or in the French League 1 they will meet Marseille of course there will be seen how they work under very deep pressure and they have not got a good winger to replace Mbappe, and I also think that PSG will be down in some of their big matches in the French League 1 which will make them lose important points and most likely this season they will have difficulty defending the French League 1 title.

Yes I was also a little surprised by Lyon's defeat in this match I thought they were getting better after having an extraordinary season towards the end of the season they were able to rise and perform impressively and ended up finishing in the top 6 even though initially I thought Lyon would be relegated last season but it turned out my prediction was wrong because they still have a lot of time to improve their performance, likewise this season Lyon still has a lot of matches so we don't need to worry about it usually at the beginning of the match it is difficult to predict.
Their coach Pierre Sage will definitely immediately fix what is wrong with this club because last season since this coach was appointed in January he was immediately able to give his best ability in coaching a club that was experiencing a drastic decline.

I think PSG will have a disaster and as is known, Le Havre had made it difficult for them before PSG beat them with a score of 1-4. This is the first win for PSG and also the first away game they have won this season. In fact, they played quite well but the adjustment after Mbappe left was very clear here.

Luckily Luis Enrique moved quickly to change the composition of his players and the results were seen at the end of the second half when Dembele and Barcola came on the ball flowed more. Don't forget the two players also scored their first goals in this victory and I think PSG don't need to worry about what happens next as long as they have players who can be relied on in the midst of difficulties. For now, PSG are at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

In the first match of Ligue 1, PSG secured a huge victory by a margin of 4-1. However, PSG's opponents were relatively weak. The Le Havre team was weak. Even so, a 4-1 win is certainly commendable. PSG players have performed well. And from this it can be assumed that the PSG team is moving in the right direction with the help of Luis Enrique.

PSG had 76% ball possession in this match and dominated the match. PSG's defenders did not allow Le Havre's players to create any strong attacking opportunities. Le Havre players managed to make only 5 shots in the entire match. Ramos, Asensio, Vitibha and Lee Kang, Dembele and Barcola all performed very well.

Le Havre football team lose the match badly. That team could do only one goal in this match. Paris Saint-Germain football team did 4 goals in this match. That match was organized in Stade Océane stadium and we saw one sided match and Paris Saint-Germain was totally dominant in this match. Lee did first goal in this match and made match interesting and after that Dembélé did easy goal . At that time,Paris Saint-Germain team was very close to win. Barcola did third goal for the team in the 86 minutes of the match and PSG team did not stop and continue this and we saw last goal by Kolo Muani and did goal by penalty and he did at 90 minutes of the match.

Because with the strength that PSG currently has when they manage to win in a match in Ligue 1, it will seem ordinary considering the difference in their level of strength is still very different so that no matter how good their performance is, it will not get too much appreciation and praise when they do it in Ligue 1.

It will be a different story if this happens in the Champions League especially when they can outperform some big clubs who are subscribed to the current champions then it can be an extraordinary thing even Enrique can be said to be able to change the philosophy that PSG has by not relying on their star players at high prices to get optimal results.
Consciously or not until now PSG is still required to do that and if in the end in the Champions League they don't do well then it could be that any form of good performance in Ligue 1 will not be considered a big achievement for Enrique and PSG.

I have always said that PSG is a waste of time for top players and top coaches. The only reason I understand that top guys go there is the money. It is not as bad as Saudi Arabia of course, but if a player like Mbappe wants to play on the highest competitive level, PSG is not an option. What's the chance that he could have ever won a ballon D'or there? It was close to zero unless they pulled off a miracle and won the Champions League, but that wasn't to be expected.

But it was a bit of a surprise that he didn't win the La Liga game with Real Madrid today. I guess even Mbappe is just a human being who needs some time to get accustomed to the new environment.

Moreover, what is sought after when in a competition that is actually not too big (when compared to the EPL and La Liga) if not money Cheesy

Especially for some old players just like PSG did when bringing Messi and Sergio Ramos before because indeed money is always an attraction apart from competition for trophies. Especially for some players like Messi and Sergio who have received great achievements, the end of their careers is definitely the money they are looking for.

As for Mbappe, who is still very young, it is clear that this will not be forced to last long because after all there is still a lot he can achieve in other clubs, especially in Madrid where he currently lives. Indeed, the first match he could not give maximum results but of course we must realize this is only the beginning of the season and he is still in adaptation so we only need to wait for time for Mbappe to make his best contribution in Madrid just like he always gave for PSG.

Dominating Ligue 1 is not a difficult task for PSG. The strongest squad in Ligue 1 is PSG. Also, PSG is the richest club in Ligue 1. PSG's squad this season is a bit weaker compared to previous seasons. However, PSG's squad still has plenty of talented players. More importantly, PSG have an experienced coach. With the help of Luis Enrique, the PSG team is slowly getting stronger.

PSG are expected to battle it out for the title this season with possibly Lille, Marseille and Monaco. So I am looking forward to watching the PSG vs Lille match. If PSG can dominate and win against Lille, then I'd say Ligue 1 PSG will dominate this season. PSG will play against Montpellier in the next match. PSG will easily get 3 points in this match as well.

But still, if considering their initial results then I would say that Marseille and Rennes get better results than PSG. Indeed, Rennes only won 3-0 but anyway, the fact is that the opposing team faced by Rennes is also not easy team and great again, Rennes managed to win big with clean sheets. Thus,I think PSG is still in the process of getting used to playing without Mbappe because after all, PSG also needs time until the 85th minute to be able to make three goals when the opponent has lost concentration.

Although indeed, I admit that PSG always has a good chance in Ligue 1 but, that does not mean PSG will easily get the Ligue 1 trophy. Because after all, ofcourse, other teams also have great efforts to be the best, and they also will not allow PSG to dominate. Thus, I believe it will still be a difficult job for PSG this season in Ligue 1 and also in other competitions.

Regarding PSG and their player Gonçalo Ramos, it seems there is some bad news about the station of this 23-year-old player. In the game against Le Havre, Ramos got injured hard and he couldn't continue the game, he left the field in the first half. But it seems Ramos is going to be out for a longer time.
He left Benfica to PSG for 90 million euros.
Ramos was the alternative player of PSG to fill the place of Mbappe in this team and now he is going to be up for three months.

PSG continued to dominate Ligue 1 without Mbappe and this big win shows their strength in Ligue 1. Goncalo Ramos made some impression in World Cup 2022 but now, 2 years after that tournament, he did not grow up well. In the summer, he did not have good performances for Portugal in Euro 2024. With a departure of Mbappe as a free player to Real Madrid, Goncalo Ramos is expected to partially carry that important role and can be one of main goal sources for PSG. This injury is bad for him and PSG but with two latest seasons, it seems Goncalo Ramos won't be able to grow up to a higher level.

They are able to do this but a biggest task for them in this summer will be Champions League, go far and win it will be a most ambitious and important task for them in this season.

Indeed, they destroyed Le Havre 4-1, but don't get overly thrilled. Le Havre equalised, and PSG appeared wobbly for a short period. That is not a good indicator. Mbappe's absence is really evident. Their onslaught loses edge without his continual threat. They scored three more at last, although it was scrazy rather than overpowering

For the Champions League, this presents major questions. Le Havre turned up a flaw. Ramos is hurt; Mbappe's MIA; and now PSG seems weak. Ligue 1 could be a stroll, but Europe is another animal entirely. They are in peril if they cannot locate a consistent goal-scorer. Luis Enrique must solve this quickly; otherwise, PSG's aspirations for the Champions League would be dashed

PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 even without Mbappe in their squad, PSG has absolutely no dependence on Mbappe in the domestic league because they are the strongest club there. Other players took turns scoring goals for their team's victory, a 4-1 victory when destroying Le Havre proved that PSG were still able to dominate the match.

PSG always struggles when competing in the Champions League, even though they are still strengthened by Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they are unable to make PSG win the UCL trophy. Now that all three players have left the club, the concerns for PSG will grow and they will struggle even more to compete in the UCL.

PSG steamrolling over Le Havre. Sure, its a win, but it doesnt exactly prove you're ready for the Masters. PSG lacks a very outstanding team. They certainly have talents. Still, Ligue 1 has grown as their particular playground. Its fantastic for their trophy cabinet, but it doesnt get them ready for the Champions League, the actual prize. And the true difficulty lies there. They've got a history of choking on the big stage, and losing Messi, Neymar, and now Mbappe? That is the same as removing the engines from a Ferrari. Though it still looks great, it wont win any races.

Thus, indeed, they can rule Ligue 1 all they desire. They are simply a huge fish in a tiny pond until they show they can hang with the big lads in Europe.

PSG has only been about one player for a few seasons. Mbappe is their biggest player and they have always performed better when he was around. Honestly, I think they might face problems winning their title again this season. They will have a tough time keeping up with some of the good teams in the Ligue 1. I believe PSG will be struggling to win the league this season and might not even win the league at the end. Enrique is a good coach so he might turn things around.

PSG will struggle to win Ligue 1 title indeed but they remain one of the best teams in this league since their opponents are weak or fluctuating much. It only needs a good team facing them to lose the title like what happened when Lille won it few seasons before and exactly like big Bayern Munich lost Bundesliga title when Bayer Leverkusen popped up and played well.
The first round of Ligue 1 was interesting with large victories by PSG, Marseille and Rennes.
