Diallo must have been very disappointed after the match. His team's efforts were in vain. Metz had to fight for 115 minutes with 10 people. They failed in relegation but gave hope for next year. I hope the players stay in the team. In this case, they may achieve success next year. Saint Etienne deserves great congratulations.

It seems that every year Lens experiences quite a significant decline, where last season they secured a place in the champions league and at the same time they had to go down to the European league, but in the end they returned home early. This season, Lens failed to get a place in these two competitions and they have to participate in the conference league next season.

I think their performance in Ligue One has a big influence on their performance in other competitions so they can't avoid this. Once they lose the thing that makes them good will continue to be the reason for their decline this season. I don't think there will be any changes that will make Lens return to what they were last season and I think they will remain the same as they are now.

Mbappe is just part of the PSG players who often do extraordinary things for the team, but everyone must also remember that Mbappe does not carry PSG alone so the contribution of other players and the PSG coach must also be seen because the team does not only consist of one person. So the achievements of other players at PSG should not be forgotten because Mbappe himself would not have been able to score more goals if there were no other players who passed to him, so praise simply and reasonably without having to exaggerate for just one player.

PSG's most important player was Mbappe and he scored regularly. Leaving such a player out of the squad will reflect on PSG's overall performance. Luis Enrique has tried to stabilize the team without Mbappe this season. Luis Enrique rested Mbappe for several matches and experimented with the team. But PSG are not strong enough without Mbappe. So Mbappe needs a worthy replacement for Luis Enrique. Osimhen or Vlahovic could be better choices as Mbappe's replacement. I think Luis Enrique will want to add one of these two players to the squad.

Most likely Enrique will try to find a replacement for Mbappe. Mbappe is a special player. And no one can fill the absence. Mbappe is a much improved player. He is physically and mentally very skilled, strong and he is a successful player. No other player can fill Mbappe's absence. Change is good at PSG. Even though Mbappe is not at PSG, he pushes his team to play well and do something new.

Metz was almost able to make this match decided by a penalty shootout, but with only 10 players it proved that there was a gap that made their game less balanced and Saint-Étienne finally broke the deadlock
Saint-Étienne only needed two seasons to return to Ligue One after the 2021-2022 season had to be relegated after failing in the relegation playoff through a penalty shootout, maybe it would be like a nightmare for Saint-Étienne if the match against Metz they also had to go through a penalty shootout, but they could be said to be lucky enough to be able to ensure themselves as winners without having to go through a penalty shootout, but whether Saint-Étienne can be like in the 2018-2019 season where they were able to occupy the top four positions is still a question because after that season this club actually had difficulty competing.

It is true that it is impossible for Enrique to randomly bring in players and be able to fill the space in the position left by Mbappe, but in reality Enrique stated that Mbappe is different player and it is difficult to find player who can truly resemble Mbappe.
He is player who is truly great in skill and contribution in every condition, Mbappe can do everything and this is why previously PSG retained Mbappe and many big teams were targeting him, apart from that Mbappe also has winning mentality and doesn't give up easily.
Another great thing about Mbappe is that he can hold the confidence of all PSG players that they are strong enough to win, this is the true spirit of PSG as long as Mbappe is still there.
There are several names such as Osimhen, Rafael Leao and also Marcus Rashford who are very close to buying PSG to fill the void left by Mbappe, but I doubt it will work even though it can be admitted that Serie A has been place where many great players have been created.

I still waiting for developments and seeing how Enrique works to resolve PSG situation of losing its spearhead, maybe he will really be able to get the players he hopes for but not in the near future.

Real Madrid focused on making good signings that would be beneficial for them. I've spot out the reasons why they're always consider the best team in the world, they don't settled for lesser results. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi believe he could use his gigantic offer to pressed down Mbappe in the club but there's absolutely nothing to worry about. Kylian Mbappe craves for this shocking big moves to join Real Madrid. He's quite aware that he's the best player in Paris Saint-Germain but it doesn't mean he should relent because winning is straight.

I think on the contrary, it could be that Mbappe's departure allows Paris Saint-Germain to stimulate a game that really promotes teamwork. I mean, without having to rely on one player being the star. as we can see, PSG's games always focus on Mbappe. Now, Mbappe has left Paris. It is time for Enrique to build a new squad to carry out the club's mission and achieve their targets next season. To be honest, I haven't been up to date regarding football developments after the League competition ended. I mean, more precisely, I don't know which player PSG will target as a replacement for Mabppe in the next transfer window. plus, maybe Enrique will be involved in selecting the players he wants. Some of them, in my analysis, Enrique will bring in midfielders and defenders. Moreover, the current PSG squad is not purely the players brought by Luis Enrique. At the very least, PSG remains a tough competitor in Ligue 1. Even without Mbappe, they have the possibility to defend their title with the existing squad. However, due to the team's needs and targets, it seems that PSG will bring in several of the candidates they are targeting. Let's just follow how it develops.

As for PSG in previous seasons, especially when they were still filled with the Trio MNM squad, the problem was not only the coach's. however, from the club itself. I mean, at least PSG should involve the coach to determine the players they want. Moreover, the coach is the implementer who formulates tactics and strategies for the team under his care. PSG's mistake was not giving the coach much space, and giving too much rights to one of their players. Apart from that, the team is not supported by competitive depth in all lines. even though, they have the resources to get the players they are after. Likewise with the coach, if PSG had previously been managed by a coach who had a track record of various achievements. It is possible that they could succeed in the Champions League with a squad that existed in the era of Messi, Neymar, Mbappe. Well, before we discuss it too far to predict it. Better yet, we just monitor the movements made by PSG and Luis Enriqie this summer.

They do have that potential and we are going to end up with something much better. We can't really see how things will get better or anything that will go anything further. We could definitely consider things changing, so if we know what we are doing then we are not going to have trouble with the bets as well.

Like if you bet Real to win every single game they have next season, then we are going to end up with something that will not be all that bad. I am sure they will of course have a loss, not going to have an unbeaten season, but I think it will be very little and betting on them to win could make it a profitable season if you bet on that all season long. It must be something that could be tested, not entirely sure what the result will be in the end.

He even wanted to leave from last season but indeed there was so much drama at PSG that he had to continue to be stuck at PSG and with his contract expiring this month then indeed it was a good opportunity for him to leave but even with his contract almost up PSG is still  making drama where in some media reports it is currently quite busy where PSG expects the club that brings Mbappe's later to be able to pay the bonus that Mbappe must get of 80 million from PSG which of course this is clearly a joke in the end because after all things like this will definitely attract some other drama where this is expected to be long and Mbappe stays at PSG.  But indeed his decision this season seems to be unanimous and PSG should stay but indeed his decision this season seems to have been made .  Clearly becomes a joke in the end because after all things like this will definitely attract some other drama where this is expected to be long and Mbappe stays but indeed his decision this season seems to be unanimous and PSG should not be able to do much with the current conditions because after all with all the efforts that PSG will make at this time it is very deadlocked to keep Mbappe and from now on they have to look for other player options to replace Mbappe's role for next season.

Mbappe actually did not want to leave as much as we think he wanted to. Because if he actually wanted to leave he would have left a lot earlier, right? By the way, he was actually in two minds. He wanted to leave but at the same time, he was getting a lot of money as well. At one point he was actually using the name of Real Madrid to get more money out of PSG. And now that he has a lot of money, he is choosing to go to Real Madrid to win trophies. By the way, Mbappe was also pretty much pressured to stay in PSG as well. If I put myself in his shoes, I would have done the same thing. The amount of money he was offered was unbelievable.

I hope in Real Madrid he will worry about his career a lot more. Because Real Madrid is currently the best club in the world arguably. So they are going to expect that level of performance from Mbappe. Which he is definitely capable of doing by the way.

Metz battled Saint Etienne at home to stay in the league.Considering Metz's performance in the last few weeks, it was difficult for Metz to win this game.We saw that they succeeded.They managed to win the game 2-1 despite leading 2-1 at half time.I think that was the maximum that Metz could do, going into the game with 10 men after Diallo was red carded in the 5th minute.If they could have continued with 10 men, we would be talking about different things now. With Diallo's red card in the 5th minute, I think this was the maximum that Metz could do.If they could have continued with 10 men, we would be talking about different things now.Saint Etienne scored in the last minute of extra time despite finding so many positions and reached the chance of promotion to the league.

Dependence on one player will make a team lose a lot of its strength if that player is gone. So far, Luis Enrique doesn't seem to be too dependent on Kylian Mbappe, especially because the player has reportedly left at the end of the season. Enrique made several rotations and kept Mbappe in several matches, but because of his quality, Mbappe was still able to be in the line-up in big matches such as the Champions League and several Ligue 1 matches.

Kylian Mbappe's departure to another team will certainly provide additional work for the coach. It is difficult to find a replacement who is as productive as Mbappe for PSG, but I am sure Enrique has a good plan for next season even though Mbappe has been declared out.

Mbappe's transfer saga is officially over now.

As per the latest announcement from real madrid. Mbappe has been announcing as a new player.

Since the previous season, Mbappe has wanted to leave PSG, but now he was thinking about the World Cup. i have ever read his latest interview that explains why mbappe was snubbing real madrid's offers before. Mbappe was willing to compete at the World Cup, therefore he decided to stay till the end of his contract in order to make his movement much easier than before. He is free to ponder about the euro 2024 now. Now, Mbappe plays at Real Madrid which is the best club in the world.

Such skill has to be with the correct team, like Real Madrid. Not that PSG is a horrible team; rather, Enrique's team didn't get to properly utilize him. As Ancellotti will be teaching Mbappe, I'm looking for further progress from him.

The outcome of Mbappe's dispute with PSG is still unclear.

A few seasons ago, PSG had Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Di Maria, Sergio Ramos in the squad and there were also other good players and yet they didn't win the European Champions League and easily let Di Maria and messi, even seeing that those were players who could make a good impact on the team, who with a good coach could win the European champions league, but the PSG management didn't know how to manage the team well, they couldn't let all those good players leave and they shouldn't having hired coaches without a great track record of achievements in the European champions league

If a team wants to win the European Champions League, then that team must hire a coach who has a lot of experience and has many titles in the European Champions League. Currently, PSG does not have a squad to win the European Champions League and I highly doubt that the current coach will be able to put together a squad capable of winning the European Champions League and with Mbapp's departure, everything has become more difficult for PSG, even for them to have Good performance in Ligue 1 next season will be very difficult without Mbappe and I believe that one of the reasons for Mbape's departure is the disaster that has been PSG's management.

There is not the slightest doubt about PSG that they will continue to dominate Ligue 1 as usual, even though they have lost one of their superstars, namely Mbappe. Luis Enrique will of course try to rebuild the squad by recruiting new players, who can increase their chances of winning the dream trophy, namely the Champions League. If PSG is lucky to win the Champions League trophy next season, then Mbappe will have the same fate as Ibrahimovich. However, joining Real Madrid is still the dream of most players at the moment, and Mbappe will reportedly soon be introduced as their new player.

In my opinion, Luis Enrique will one day be able to present the Champions League trophy to PSG, in his first season PSG did not perform badly, sooner or later PSG will be lucky. Mbappe is a big player at PSG, almost the entire season PSG was distracted by speculation about his future, next season Luis Enrique and his team will be more focused. Nasser Al Khelaifi has hinted that PSG is ready to start a new era without Mbappe, but I'm very curious who they will recruit as Mbappe replacement.

PSG will remain strong in Ligue1 and it is possible that PSG next season will be even more different and get what they have been dreaming of when there is no longer Mbappe in their squad . I am also sure that Enrique will find players who are quite suitable for the PSG team to fill the void left by Mbappe and the possibility of changes in PSG's performance could also be quite clear because if the arrival of new players to PSG could be quite suitable for Enrique's coaching. Of course this is a gift for PSG in terms of becoming stronger because PSG will still try to get the UCL trophy next season.

Kylian Mbappe have been an integral part of Paris Saint Germaine's success in the French league as well as in all the competitions they've played in over the years so it's absolutely understandable that many people believes the club will suffer now that he's left the club. Paris Saint Germaine as we all know is one club that's always active in the transfer market and you don't expect them not to sign a world class attacker that'll definitely serve as Kylian Mbappe's replacement.
There's been several speculations about Paris Saint Germaine's possible options to replace Kylian Mbappe at the club and I'm pretty sure that they'll definitely get one of those big names. But wether the French champions signs s new player or not, the truth is that Paris Saint Germaine will definitely continue to dominate French football with their current squad

Losing Mbappe shouldn’t be a thing to worry about because they will still easily dominate the Ligue 1 with the available players but the Champions League is something they can’t compete for at the moment. It looks as if they are cursed from winning the champions league because despite having Messi, Neymar and Mbappe they were still unable to win it. The only solution i see for them in winning the Champions league is for them to sign a coach that will reshape the team in a way that they would stand out and be able to compete properly, like signing Guardiola will not be a bad idea, that’s the only way i see them winning the champions league.

They need to sign a world class striker and a winger (LW) in my opinion to be able to balance everything well if Mbappe leaves.
