Mbappe is a very special player. His place will not be easily filled. There will be very few players who can achieve the success he achieved. If Mbappe had left two more seasons earlier, Messi and Neymar would have been more important players. But Mbappé is the key player this season. Mbappe's absence will affect PSG badly, but Enrique is certainly thinking about it. I think he has already chosen the player to replace him.
Even though it is not easy to fill the position left by Mbappe at PSG, Enrique still has to think about this for the sake of his squad next season because PSG will have to fight even harder next season due to not having Mbappe in their squad anymore. But just to compete in Ligue 1, PSG is still the best even though Mbappe is no longer there, but the problem is when PSG plays in other leagues such as Champions, which will make it more difficult for them to compete next season.

Ligue 1 will not lose its popularity but PSG will lose its dominance. I actually think that without Mbappe, other teams will have the opportunity to eliminate PSG's dominance. Yes, PSG is still the #1 favorite for now, but at least they won't be as dominant as they were when they were with Mbappe. We might be able to see where PSG has to fight to win the league championship, unlike this season where PSG really dominated Ligue 1 with a goal difference of +48 goals and collected 76 points, 9 points ahead of Monaco in second place.But apart from that I quite believe that the popularity might decrease although not significantly but people will pay more attention to where the star plays and that league will be the highlight, after all Mbappe is one of the stars of football and he has a lot of fans so it is possible that some viewers switch to watch the match especially at Real Madrid where he has a career today.
Mbappe has been at PSG for a long time and he has given a lot of good service in this long period of time so everyone thinks how will PSG do without him. If Mbappe had left two seasons ago, maybe people wouldn't have talked about it as much because two seasons ago PSG had many other important players including Messi and Neymar, but this season Mbappe is the only important player for PSG. But it is true that he is gone and this fact must be accepted. The club is much more concerned about this than us and they must think carefully and make the right decision about which player they will replace Mbappe in their team. Since this club has a record of spending huge amounts of money in the past, they can certainly spend money this season as well.

I don't believe Mbappe leaving PSG would make them not dominate the French league. They still have so much money more than every other team in the league. They still have to money to sign the best footballers in the world, other Ligue 1 teams don't have that luxury.
Without Mbappe, the coach just needs to build his team around other players. PSG have a good coach in Enrique and he knows how to manage a team.
PSG still have a few signings to make in other to strengthen their team. They need defenders midfielders and also attackers, but the problem with PSG is that they always make the wrong decisions. I don't know how they always seem to neglect their midfield and defence and focus only on attack.
I believe PSG would still win the league comfortably next season, and yeah I also believe without Mbappe, the recognition of the Ligue 1 would reduce a bit.
No, Mbappé leaving Parc des Princes ground is definitely going to reduce the popularity of the whole Ligue 1. After all, he is the best player in the world right now.
But that does not mean PSG is going to suddenly not dominate the Ligue 1 from now on. I don’t think people can even fathom how much money these Arabs and Qatari guys have. Yes, it is true that nobody likes to lose money. But he still definitely has a lot of money. PSG can still buy almost any players that they actually want. But they are doing the right thing and not throwing money at the players. Just like they did with Mbappé. If they did not give him so much special treatment, probably he would have performed better for the club. Now Luis Enrique has come it seems he is actually a good one. Let's see if he is able to bring glory to the PSG team by winning the Champions League.
June 21, 2024, 05:29:27 AM
PSG performance in ligue 1 and the Champions League is of course inversely proportional to today, it should indeed be when they had Neymar, Messi and Mbappe in their previous squad of course it was not difficult for PSG to win the Champions League at that time, but indeed what is PSG problem today is not the depth of their squad but the champion mentality that they do not have at the moment, PSG has always won ligue 1 but the ease of competition in ligue 1 has actually made their mentality in the europa league very weak so far.
This has been quite proven and clearly seen at PSG every season, so that the mentality of the PSG players themselves has never been better honed because they all do not have fierce competition in Ligue 1, which causes them to always be overwhelmed when playing in the Champions League. So that's what PSG officials and coaches should build if they still want to fight in the Champions League until they get a trophy, because without building a strong mentality and skills in controlling the ball it will also be difficult for every PSG player to win a league like the Champions League.

Mbappe has been with PSG's squad for a long time. And Mbappe is PSG's regular scorer. This is why Mbappe's departure will definitely have an impact on PSG's overall performance. There is no denying it. Last season Luis Enrique experimented a lot with the PSG squad, keeping Mbappe on the bench. PSG's performance was stable without Mbappe. However, PSG's overall performance was not strong.
Luis Enrique is an experienced coach which is why he started preparing the squad without Mbappe from the previous season. He will surely find a suitable strategy to keep PSG's performance stable. But I look forward to seeing which player Luis Enrique will add to his squad as Mbappe's replacement.

Of course, PSG is still expected to be the team that will dominate Ligue 1 next season. Goal productivity may be a little different when they no longer have Mbappe, but considering there are still several other productive strikers, you can still expect them to dominate. Even if PSG can no longer dominate, it will be good for other teams so the title competition will be very difficult. But in my opinion, PSG will not be very different.
Luis Enrique definitely has several options to find the best center forward to replace Mbappe next season. Randal Kolo Muani might be good for that position, while Goncalo Ramos is also good. I don't see much to think of as anything negative from PSG, they'll be fine I think.
Losing Mbappe will actually not have too big an effect on PSG, because indeed without Mbappe, PSG is still relatively very strong compared to other teams that are currently competing in Ligue 1, maybe PSG goal productivity will be slightly reduced in Ligue 1 but PSG can prevent this from happening if indeed PSG can get other strikers who do have a very high scoring instinct like Mbappe so far, indeed currently in the PSG squad they still have Goncalo Ramos and also Kolo Muani, both players are actually good players and can be expected by Luis Enrique but both of them have often appeared inconsistent so far so it is natural that in every match they lose competition with Mbappe.Luis Enrique definitely has several options to find the best center forward to replace Mbappe next season. Randal Kolo Muani might be good for that position, while Goncalo Ramos is also good. I don't see much to think of as anything negative from PSG, they'll be fine I think.
For next season, it is not wrong to expect goncalo ramos and kolo muani as PSG strikers, especially since the two players were quite sharp strikers at their previous clubs, but even so I hope Enrique does not take risks by not bringing in other players next season, because I still think PSG still needs a squad depth that is quite qualified and good to be able to compete, especially in the Champions League later.

There are still many players who can fill the void left by Mbappe, but the question is whether these players can do their job well or not? I think this is a question that almost everyone has when looking at the Paris Sait Germain front line that Mbappe has now left behind. This is because the expectations for the players who fill that position will be very high, because they will see Mbappe as a comparison. Although personally I don't really like comparing, some people do.Luis Enrique is expected to be able to do his job well, especially when implementing strategies on the front lines or he must be smart if he wants to bring in new players. The reason is that this position is a very vulnerable position, because it is directly related to their goal productivity. The reason is that if they have difficulty scoring goals, then they are in big trouble.
Without Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint Germaine, I know it'll affect their performance however, I'm of the opinion that they'll still continue to dominate French football because even in the absence of Mbappe, Paris Saint Germaine team is the the strongest team in the French league.
It is time for PSG to have to make big changes in each line to get strong performance with the right players and not only prioritize the attack line, because if PSG can strengthen the midfield, PSG will also become a more consistent club.
With a formidable midfielder, PSG's performance can be a little better because the contribution of midfielder is needed to be able to provide assistance from attack lines and defense lines.
PSG must be accustomed to appearing without star players to be recognized as the strongest club in League 1 without star players but with very reliable players.
Enrique is very confident that the next season he can give the best in accordance with his promise to maintain the dominance of the League 1 title.
June 20, 2024, 11:36:34 PM
It's one thing for Paris Saint Germaine to sign a world class attacker that'll serve as Kylian Mbappe's replacement at the club but absolutely a different thing for the person to become as effective as Kylian Mbappe have been at the club over the years. I don't think it'll be possible for the club to get a player that can be as prolific as Kylian Mbappe or have the same impact he used to have in the Paris Saint Germaine team. For the past six seasons, Kylian Mbappe haven't just finished as Paris Saint Germaine top scorer but also have been the top scorer in the French league in that same duration so getting a player that will register those same numbers of goals per season will not be possible for Paris Saint Germaine.
A good world-class striker will think long before accepting PSG's offer because PSG is not the best club in Europe and always has difficulty competing with top clubs that compete in the Champions League, so a world-class striker will also think that his future is only good in the domestic league because PSG has become ruler of League 1 for many years.Moreover, it is not an easy thing for PSG to recruit a world-class striker because as far as I know it is quite difficult to find a good striker who has almost the same performance as Mbappe, so it is possible that PSG will recruit a striker who is probably still below Mbappe. At least that way all the players can help each other provide the best strategy.

But most of PSG's performance so far is because of Mbappe's big contribution. If this player is no longer at the club, I think PSG will be on par with other clubs in League 1. So that competition between League 1 clubs will be even more exciting and we will see how difficult it is for PSG to compete with clubs without Mbappe. Many say PSG will still dominate League 1, but I still doubt that.

So far, every time PSG wins, Mbappe has been successful in scoring goals, even though it not an overall win, at least the dominance given by Mbappe performance is very visible and significant.
Monaco, Brest and LOSC should be able to take advantage of this opportunity next season, it will be easier for them to beat PSG and try to have truly equal competition.
But looking at all of them, I tend to see Monaco and LOSC as team that will make things difficult for PSG next season.

PSG is the best team in the Ligue1 no doubt and the presence of Mbappe in the team helped the PSG team to dominate the league throughout his stay in the club but now that he is no more the player of PSG, don't you think it will affect the performance of PSG in terms of maintaining the superiority of them dominating the league since they experienced a lot of poor performance last season despite winning the league, Mbappe was with the team last season but they recorded a lot of bad results from small clubs in the league so on this note, I think they can't enjoy dominance this season rather they will win the league with sweat if they will really win the league next season since they are yet to have a replacement for Mbappe but coming to the champions league competition,the team is not closer to the favourite for next season because they have no hit player that will push them the way Mbappe carried the team and it will be difficult for them to get to the round of 8 come next season. The coach will do a good work but he needs to bring in a better replacement for Mbappe otherwise his team will find it difficult to win any trophy next season.
Only Lionel Messi has been able to carry a team to the extent that the team becomes totally useless without him. Mbappe was PSG's best man. He was the best player in the team and he's already a PSG legend but he was not the only player in the team. His job is to score goals and those goals were provided for him by others, unlike Messi who had to create and score goals out of nothing.
Mbappe is to PSG what Ronaldo was to Real Madrid, another great piece of the team and that piece happens to be the best player in the team. If that piece is taken out, the team's performance will drop but with proper collective strength, the team will recover.
A mistake people make is looking for a replacement for a player. Some players are just too good that they cannot be replaced. Imagine Barcelona trying to replace Messi, it's impossible, but they can build their team in a way that the whole team would be solid, instead of relying on one man.
This is exactly what PSG needs to do. Get good midfielders and defenders, get good goal scorers in attack and winger that can score and create goals and they'll be good. There's no point trying to replace Mbappe.
June 20, 2024, 04:48:55 PM
It should be so that Paris Saint Germain will not have too much difficulty returning to dominating the league, because they are the best team with a luxurious squad compared to other teams, so for me there is no reason for them not to dominate the league. In my opinion, Mbappe's departure cannot be a reason for them to lose their dominance in the league.
However, if we talk about the Champions League, then I agree that they will have difficulties as usual. With Mbappe in the squad they are still having difficulties, in fact they once had 3 star players at once and it didn't have any impact on them. Now they have to realize that star players alone are not enough to bring them success in the Champions League, so they have to have a winning mentality too, and that must be owned by the team as a whole, not just by individuals or just a few players.
Having any problem with the french Ligue 1 is something PSG doesn't really get to bother about as they have a way around the Ligue one almost a lil the time and know how well to make sure they are able to still maintain their form and their position, they have the advantage of a very good team depth, one that happens to be the best you can find across the French league. The challenge may not really come from the Ligue 1 but they may still have some difficulties because the honest truth is that the team does not have their very for as they once had before now.However, if we talk about the Champions League, then I agree that they will have difficulties as usual.

PSG is in a position where they aren't really going to be bad but they aren't going to be even perfect aswell, in the champions league, they will struggle at some point, it will be really interesting and funny aswell if they get to play against Madrid which will inturn means having mbappe playing against them, and the very interesting part will be with mbappe winning a d scoring a goal against PSG, I can't wait to have such an experience, lol, I feel the season is going to be filled with interesting moments especially with PSG and their star player who just left the team.

PSG is a very rich club. And they never skimp on spending money. Moreover, PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. Luis Enrique will certainly take whatever steps are necessary to strengthen his squad. And Luis Enrique will get all financial support from PSG management. So I believe Luis Enrique will be able to keep the performance of PSG team stable in the next season as well. And PSG will dominate Ligue 1.

Difficulties are bound to occur but to use this as an excuse for their poor play would be ridiculous because, regardless, Mbappe isn't coming back and they'll have to start over with a readjustment.
This is a step that can be positive even though the loss is very pronounced but precisely with Mbappe leaving PSG it will indirectly make the club the same as the others where no one is privileged in terms of players in contrast to when Mbappe was in the squad because it is like the player is much greater than the club itself.
So with the loss of Mbappe indirectly players now have the same portion and no one is differentiated in terms of profit. This can be a good start but their performance must be supported by good cooperation because it is a way to show that PSG will be fine even without Mbappe in it.
Although it is a situation that must be difficult but still it must be done at this time.

I agree with you. We all know Mbappe was the most important player in PSG's squad. There is no doubt that Mbappe was PSG's leading scorer. But I don't think PSG can dominate Ligue 1 without Mbappe. Without Mbappe, it may be difficult for PSG to perform well in the Champions League. However, it will not be difficult for PSG to dominate the league.
PSG is a very rich club. And they never skimp on spending money. Moreover, PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. Luis Enrique will certainly take whatever steps are necessary to strengthen his squad. And Luis Enrique will get all financial support from PSG management. So I believe Luis Enrique will be able to keep the performance of PSG team stable in the next season as well. And PSG will dominate Ligue 1.
In terms of scoring goals it may be true that the he left of Mbappe will affect the number of goals that PSG will produce each season, but in order to dominate Ligue 1, I don't think it will affect the presence or absence of Mbappe There are still several other players that Luis Enrique can rely on and maybe they will also look for a replacement after Mabppe left for Real Madrid.PSG is a very rich club. And they never skimp on spending money. Moreover, PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. Luis Enrique will certainly take whatever steps are necessary to strengthen his squad. And Luis Enrique will get all financial support from PSG management. So I believe Luis Enrique will be able to keep the performance of PSG team stable in the next season as well. And PSG will dominate Ligue 1.
This financial support is what makes most people not think that PSG's dominance will be taken over by another team because they can still find a replacement to fill the void left by Mbbape. Moreover, Luis Enrique is also quite an experienced coach so these two aspects will be added value for PSG to continue dominating Ligue 1.
Most of the team of Ligue 1 are weaker than PSG. PSG's squad is very strong. Even without Mbappe, PSG's squad is strong. However, Mbappe was the most important player in PSG's squad.
Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach. This is why I believe PSG team will be able to perform well without Mbappe. PSG has a lot of money. So Luis Enrique will be able to strengthen the squad by adding players of his choice. PSG boss Nassr Al Khelaifi will certainly spare no expense in preparing the big fund. PSG will win the Ligue 1 title next season as well. But I am worried about whether PSG can perform well in the Champions League.

Since being taken over by Nasser al-Khelaifi in 2012, PSG has been able to dominate ligue 1 and I am quite sure that in the next few seasons PSG will still dominate ligue 1 as long as there is no team that is able to match the finances owned by PSG today, losing mbappe is of course a very big loss for PSG, but this will not make PSG lose their dominance in Ligue 1 later, currently we do not find any team other than PSG that does have a quality squad, so it is certain that next season Enrique and PSG will continue their positive trend in Ligue 1.However, if we talk about the Champions League, then I agree that they will have difficulties as usual.

PSG performance in ligue 1 and the Champions League is of course inversely proportional to today, it should indeed be when they had Neymar, Messi and Mbappe in their previous squad of course it was not difficult for PSG to win the Champions League at that time, but indeed what is PSG problem today is not the depth of their squad but the champion mentality that they do not have at the moment, PSG has always won ligue 1 but the ease of competition in ligue 1 has actually made their mentality in the europa league very weak so far.
