Mbappe has been part of PSG's success for many years. Most of the wins PSG has achieved so far are thanks to Mbappe's hard work who always scores lots of goals, so it's not easy for PSG to forget their star player. Time does go on and PSG shouldn't dwell too much on sadness and must immediately move on, but that doesn't mean forgetting Mbappe's services which have contributed greatly. Mbappe will always be remembered by PSG even though his position has been replaced by another player. No matter how much money PSG spends to recruit good players, I doubt they can get a great player like Mbappe.

If PSG has bought the players they need then they don't need to worry about Mbappe leaving which will cause pain for the club, I know PSG's level in the league is indeed the strongest but that was when Mbappe was there but for next season I think other competitive clubs like the club what you mentioned will make it difficult for PSG in the league, it will be more interesting if they compete with each other in the fight for the title so that League 1 matches will be more interesting because their level will be on par with other competitive leagues.

Indeed. When compared with other leagues such as Serie A, La Liga, Premier League and even the Bundesliga, the French Legaue is a smaller league compared to them. In fact, we know that this can also be seen from how many clubs have qualified for the Champions League so far. And so far, since the UCL was rebranded, only 1 French club has ever won the Champions League (UCL). And that is Marseille.

And so far, PSG is still trying hard enough to make history again, to win the Champions League trophy since Marseille became the one club from France to win UCL. However, even when Mbappe, Messi and Neymar were present, they couldn't do it. And this will be much more difficult now:

And now if we look, only PSG is usually able to further get into a much higher stage during the UCL. But not yet in the final. while other clubs will usually be swept in the early rounds. For this reason, so far, even though PSG is without Mbappe, I think that PSG will still be the nominee in the French League, but its share in the UCL will not be as strong as before.

I would admit though that leaving Mbappe while trying to find other players is never a great thing for any club as Mbappe is on a different level when he is able to show his best game. I do believe that Mbappe will reach the next level at Real Madrid as he is still the superstar on the one hand, but there are a dozen superstars on the other hand. He is one of many. I had the feeling that Mbappe too often felt like he is above all else and then he had games where he was nowhere to be found.

For PSG as a club it is a huge loss because the combination was so amazing for them. Mbappe is a French guy and he is probably the best player in the world at the moment. His global presence is impressive and at the same time he was a guy from home so to say.


The big thing is that slowly but surely the PSG bosses probably believe that it doesn't matter what they do, but they can't win the Champions League. Neymar, Messi and Mbappe, what else can you even do? There isn't much more and I have always been of the opinion that Ligue is not competitive enough. It's hard for players to switch gears when 95% of the games they play is against inferior opponents. But that is something they will never be able to change for the better.

Sure enough, the management and club officials will have no difficulty maintaining PSG reputation in Ligue 1, they will easily continue to dominate thanks to their abundant financial strength. So far, no team has been serious about breaking PSG dominance, even though Enrique fleet is playing badly, they can still win the trophy at the end of the season. The gap between PSG and all Ligue 1 contestants is very visible, even though they have now parted ways with Mbappe.

Mbappe departure will provide space for other players to shine, and it is possible that PSG will recruit other star players in this transfer window. Ligue 1 will still be the Farmers League for the next few seasons, that's how many people believe in PSG. Nasser Al Khelaifi is determined to build a new era without Mbappe, where PSG is not only dominant in Ligue 1, but will be able to win the Champions League trophy one day.

As long as PSG sets a target of winning the Champions League trophy, they will automatically dominate Ligue 1 every season, I think they will be able to realize these ambitions and dreams. For now, Madrid, City and even Bayern still look too tough for PSG, but in the coming seasons, PSG will definitely have the opportunity to have a big say in the Champions League.

It is Ligue 1, it is not the Premier League. PSG should under any and all circumstances still easily win the title. It is too one sided in that league. PSG has got billions backing the team. No other club comes close to that. And it is not like Mbappe leaves an empty space and they play with 10 men only. Someone will fill the gap and they have several top players sitting on the bench most of the time. There is a chance that several other players now thrive and become much better exactly because Mbappe is gone.

But to be honest even like that we don't know what fate PSG has experienced after Mbappe's departure, whether it is really suffering or whether it can still compete and be at the top of the table even without Mbappe, some people may also be too demeaning to other players so that they focus on Mbappe which is the reason why PSG can always be at the top of the table until yesterday, including me.

We will see how much influence Mbappe has after leaving PSG, and how PSG can survive and continue to grow without a star player there, maybe it will be much more or indeed like many predictions we make here about the decline of PSG, but what I know is that PSG is quite rich, so they must get other players who have the strength to complement the shortcomings.

This is football and anything can happen. Although Mbappe is an important player, he is not an irreplaceable player for PSG. The Qatari president has the money to transfer a good player. He may be aiming to make transfers that will make Mbappe forgotten. You may see that they buy such a player this summer that everyone will be surprised and Mbappe's departure will be forgotten. There are also competitive teams for League 1 such as Monaco, Marseille and Lyon. With a few teams in better shape, the competition can rise to a higher level. Time will show that

Mbappé is a star boy. The fact that he performs well even at the national team shows his capacity as a strong player. PSG was a monumental blast at a time they had big guys at the team. Aside from Mbappé, they were able to Harbour big names like Messi and Neymar amongst others. If there is one thing I respected PSG, it was for their confidence to take such bold steps in recruiting those big players under one squad.

Having Mbappé in Real Madrid currently is another big deal for the player because I can guarantee him a full squad due to the current squad depth Madrid is controlling. Aside from the name and the reverence of the team, the position he will take at the club is one which will blow him in no time. I won't call Mbappé an oppotunist, rather I will take him from the angle of the struggle he has put to build his career including the talent and decipline.

Kylian Mbappe departure make Ligue 1 not really interested and face difficult looking for TV broadcast want to pay above 500 million euro fees in one season.
I don't think main problem with Ligue 1 not interested after Mbappe departure but also since leaving by Lionel Messi make Ligue 1 has decreasing of viewer, seems Ligue 1 need to make some interested thing to get their traffic more popular by signing another top players and make Ligue 1 not only dominance by PSG but all teams participants must make Ligue 1 more competitive.

Since Mbappe departure and announced to  public leaving PSG, there are not any interested signing of Ligue 1 team make their competition more interested for next season. PSG seems keep waiting moment awhile publishing their first recruitment in this season will make Ligue 1 more excited again after leaving by Mbappe.

Its confusing with Mbappe. For years, this PSG player has scored goals like no other. Since he's gone, they're in trouble.

Maybe two seasons ago it wouldn't have mattered. Many major names were there, including Messi and Neymar. Now, though? The star was Mbappe. Losing him is devastating. Though, that is why we love it. Whats next is unpredictable, exciting, and unknown. Since PSG spends large, it will be interesting to see who they sign to replace Mbappe. Im sure they'll execute well despite their workload.

Maybe, for those who only enjoy matches, Ligue 1 is not too interesting, after all, even though there is Mbappe at PSG, they will basically only watch matches played by PSG. But, for gamblers, I'm sure Ligue 1 will still be interesting to observe because after all, Mbappe's departure will also at least make the competition for the title more interesting. Therefore, for me personally Ligue 1 will remain interesting because it will have a more competitive competition next season, while also observing the developments made by PSG after Mbappe's departure.

Ligue 1 is known to many people as a boring league, so it's normal for people to be interested in this league because they want to see star players perform. So when the star player leaves, they will no longer be very interested in Ligue 1.
We can see how the Saudi Pro League for example, previously not many people were interested in this league, but after they had many star players, this league attracted a lot of attention, and now they are more popular than before. Thus, it cannot be denied that star players can bring popularity to the league so that many people see it.
Now that Mbappe has left, maybe people will be lazy to see how Ligue 1 is going, unless Ligue 1 can be even more competitive. I find it very difficult to expect Ligue 1 to be very competitive, because the other teams here are not at the same level as Paris Saint Germain.

French League 1 is not a very good league, to be honest. Of course, what I am comparing with are the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga. These leagues are behind in terms of competition. Like the Bundesliga, in League 1, the possibility of a single team becoming champion is mentioned at the beginning of each year. PSG is the most known of these teams. Success must come for them now in the UCL, almost everyone is sure that they will win League 1. Big surprises may occur, of course, we all know the Leverkusen example, but if such a situation does not occur, PSG will dominate the league for many years to come.

We all know that Mbappe is an important player in the Paris Saint-Germain squad, he is very reliable when it comes to scoring goals. but now Mbappe has left, so PSG no longer relies on him, either in Ligue 1 or in the Champions League. However, at least PSG remains a strong challenger in Ligue 1 even without Mbappe, it is even possible that PSG will play more competitively because Enrique prioritizes teamwork without depending on one player. We know that this will not be easy for Enrique, especially when his squad is competing in the Champions League. So, because of that, Enrique knows very well what he has to change and do for his squad next season. What is certain is that he will try to do his best even without Mbappe. not only in Ligue 1, but in various competitions that they will play in later. Even though it won't be as easy as we discussed, this is precisely what must be a new start for PSG in the future. because after all, several well-known players, including Mbappe, did not bring PSG to the Champions League.

So Enrique's next job won't be easy of course, because of that Enrique will try hard to bring PSG to remain consistent even though it's only in Lique 1. How their journey will be at the start of the season, that's what's interesting because we can't be sure of anything before they play their match. Moreover, so far PSG has not yet decided on a candidate to replace Mbappe. It is possible that PSG will bring in several newcomers who have talents who can perform well, whether they are midfielders, defenders or even especially for sticker positions. Well, it's no less interesting even though it seems like the French League doesn't have a strong appeal due to the departure of PSG's star players.

I agree with you that Mbappe definitely needs to lower his ego. Mbappe got a lot of facilities at PSG. And almost all of Mbappe's expectations and wishes were fulfilled by the PSG management. But Real Madrid will not do that we are sure. Mbappe needs to lower his ego. At the same time he has to try to adapt himself to the players of Real Madrid. Almost every player in Real Madrid's squad, apart from Mbappe, has been with Madrid for a long time. So Mbappe will have to work hard.

There is no doubt that Mbappe is very talented. Mbappe also has the ability to score a lot of goals. But if Mbappe cannot adapt himself to the players of Madrid then he will not be able to succeed with Madrid.

I agree with the people who think Mbappe's departure will decrease the interest in the Ligue 1 more as of next season. Because this league is already not one of the most attracting ones you know. 

But at least watching some superstar players like Mbappe has kept the league more alive. But now there is going to be a quality decrease for sure. I don't know how they can attract real interest in this league either. Investors are preferring leagues such as the Premier League for investment the most. I don't feel like this will change in the near future. Nothing comes to my mind to change this in France for now unless they make changes in taxation law.

That is the talent right there, dude started to play the team without Mbappe even while Mbappe was there, and he took Mbappe out of games so frequently, it's basically a way of telling the team that they do not need Mbappe, and seems like it worked very well.

I think next season when they actually have a missing superstar, they are going to still be fine because Luiz Enrique is such a good manager that he instilled that notion on their minds even before Mbappe left. They will of course spend some good chunk of money to get some new players as well, they always do that so it wouldn't be a shock if they do it again, it would be quite good result in the end. It's hard to replace Mbappe, but it would not be impossible to get some good players.

Paris Saint Germain even took the risk of sending people they did not want in the team to prevent Mbappe from leaving. That's why Mbappe's ego was a little inflated, but the team he came to is Real Madrid. Even Cristiano Ronaldo did not stay in that team. We can say that Mbappe may experience similar situations. Kylian Mbappe is a very good player. He will definitely be useful to Madrid, but he needs to reduce his ego a little.

No matter how special a player is, of course his position will be easily replaced by other players later, players of the same class as Messi and Ronaldo can currently be replaced by other players, especially Mbappe whose quality is far below Messi and Ronaldo in my opinion, Mbappe has been a very talented player and of course we admit that,  but we also don't forget that Mbappe's success so far is also inseparable from his status as a PSG player, previously Mbappe was an ordinary player when he was in Monaco and two loans from Monaco to PSG at that time did not show Mbappe's good performance because he was covered by Cavani's prestige as PSG's main striker, but after Cavani left, of course Mbappe was able to show his talent at PSG after getting one main place and supported by other PSG star players for him to score goals during this time, so I think,  if he was still in Monaco of course I doubts if Mbappe will be able to become what it is today.

Leaving and coming a player at a club is of course commonplace, so I think PSG will not be too sad with losing Mbappe at this time, because indeed with the finances that PSG has, of course it is not difficult for PSG to get a replacement for Mbappe later, so indeed we just have to wait and see, if other players will replace Mbappe position in the PSG squad next season.

Well, I hope so. The thing is that one can speculate all these things for the simple fact that when he was at PSG he had a rather childish attitude in many ways, and somewhat capricious regarding everything he did, even with players. I still remember when he made a list that he didn't want certain players to be on and he took them out, among them Neymar Jr., that is a very exclusionary thing when that news came out, but it was very badly done, so based on those things that he did one speculates. I hope that the player has matured and behaves at the level of the Club As I said before, this club is very big.
