It is very difficult for Paris Saint Germain to win their first trophy in the Champions League, it is something that is not easy and perhaps even requires luck if they want to get their first trophy in the Champions League. They are indeed strong, but their strength only dominates in domestic competitions, while if they are in the Champions League, their strength is not that great to be able to compete with other teams which in my opinion have an even better mentality than Paris Saint Germain.
Moreover, we will have an increasingly stronger Real Madrid next season, they will have Mbappe and that adds to the strength that Real Madrid has. Honestly, I don't expect Paris Saint Germain to be successful next season, even though the opportunity is still open, but when compared to other teams, they don't have a bigger chance than other teams. Unless something big happens to them, like for example they perform very well next season.

The important change that PSG must make next season is the strength to reach the final in the Champions League and also try to get their first Champions League trophy next season. Because if they are only too busy with the Ligue 1 trophy, I think PSG will still be considered an ordinary team and not better than other teams that have won the trophy. Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid could indeed be a very hard blow for PSG, but that is not the only reason for PSG to remain strong with their other players next season.

It doesn't feel like it was just last season that Angers and Auxerre were relegated and next season they will return to Ligue One. Of course they are very happy after succeeding in being ranked at the top during this season in Ligue two. I think it's not entirely their place in the lower competitions and I have noticed that Auxerre has appeared so consistently this season.

Only lasted one season and Metz had to return to Ligue two and that was a very fast process after being in Ligue one this season. Then we will have a new promotion team besides Angers and Auxerre, namely St-Etienne and to be honest I have only heard the name, maybe we will see something different from them and hope they can last longer.

I don't think the Bundesliga is that much better. It is more competitive for sure, but keep in mind that Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga for over a decade of years in a row. That doesn't sound to me as if the Bundesliga is highly competitive.

And before some people now think that Leverkusen will take over, let's wait for another season at least. Probably better to wait for two or three more years to see whether a club is really able to meet Bayern par on par. I doubt it. I hope that it will be like that, but I fear that Bayern Munich is going to win the title next year with a landslide performance compared to all other teams.

The problem is, in the French League, there is no club that can compete with PSG, in any case, there is no club whose characteristics can make a truly extraordinary breakthrough. This is quite different from the Bundesliga, which is also often considered an ordinary and boring league because of the dominance of Bayern Munich. However, within it, there are several clubs that have already competed in other Europa Leagues and have more experience compared to the French League. especially this season, competition there is so tight.

But it's very different in the French League. Indeed, Monaco, Brest, and also Lyle. However, they can't really be compared to PSG, especially LOSC which was abandoned by their coach this season. So, I also believe, even without Mbappe, PSG will still be champions next season. not other underestimate clubs, but looking at how their performance has been so far. Unless there is a club with a coach as great as Xabi who can provide an extraordinary surprise. However, what will be a consideration as to why PSG must continue to find a replacement for Mbappe is that they also still have to compete in the Champions League where the competition is very tight. So, for whatever reason, PSG must fight even harder.

For a player that's been the top scorer in the French Ligue 1 in the past six seasons, I totally understand when people assume that Paris Saint Germaine will struggle to dominate the French league now that Kylian Mbappe have left the club. But after taking a careful analysis of the other clubs in the French league, I came to final conclusion that the reigning French champions will continue to dominate the French league even after the departure of Kylian Mbappe.
The quality of players in the Paris Saint Germaine team is undoubtedly better than that of the players in any other club in the league and I strongly believe that Paris Saint Germaine will definitely make few more significant additions to the squad so I don't expect Luis Enrique to suffer to much keeping the club as the dominant team in the league.

Luis Enrique will have challenge to make PSG stay dominance in Ligue 1. New signings will imply how big the ambition of PSG next season. The departure of Mbappe should be a sign for the team to play a collective effort without a dependence on certain players. Luis Enrique knows how to  build a cohesive unit of a team to make PSG stay as a strong team next season.

Winning trophies will still be a standard for PSG next season. No matter who will come into the team, PSG will still hold a prestige as an ambitious club with high standard. Champions League trophy will still the main target, Luis Enrique will need to prove his capability of Challenging every trophies next season without top star in the team. 

Paris Saint-Germain won the Ligue One but they have to prepare themselves for next season because it's going to be an easy one for elite teams. Every club keeps fighting for their subjects and winning becomes priorities. The stats and form of PSG will reduce a bit because Kylian Mbappe is the main pillar for the progress of the club. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique looks bother but there's absolutely nothing to think about, because he will definitely make good signings in the transfer market and not letting his team now, atleast not now that PSG beckon on him.

It is no longer news that Kylian will be leaving to the Spanish club as a free transaction and that means that at this point, you can say that they will be one dominant team. With the move for Kylian, you can understand how Real Madrid really planned this all out and it is really paying for them. With Kylian in the squad, you can say that will be huge boost for Real Madrid because of his strength, pace and how much that will add for their attack line.

 This can only mean more year of dominance for the Spanish club more especially in the UCL where they just won the 15th yesterday. ⁠Now for PSG i think they will be feeling the real heat because at this point they have to now look for a player to fill up for Kylian. Mot just filling up, the player have to be hungry to be able to help achieve what Kylian has achieved for the club and yes they have the financial resources to make this real possible.

 Luis ⁠Enrique is a real tactical genius and of course I’m confident he can be able to build up a great squad at psg if given enough financial strength and confidence to dish out his tactics. For Real Madrid, you can just begin to fear them more because at this point they have grown more fierce especially in the attack line.

Mbapppe wasn't just any key player that left the team such that you can just get to say Enrique is used to key players leaving and he will know what exactly to do when they leave, with mbappe it's really going to be different because usually mbappe acts as a backup for him till he's able to get that perfect replacement for whosoever that key player who left the team is, so now replacing the replacement hits very differently.

Getting used to this is really going to be difficult, even when he tried reducing his play time because he was trying to help his team mate to getting used to playing without him, they couldn't just cope completely and that was why in important games such as the champions league games, he was still bringing in up to play such vital and important games for them so it's actually going to be a bit hard than it used to be, except they get a perfect replacement almost immediately which I don't see really getting to happen because finding such a player is difficult even if they can afford it.

PSG may spend the whole season getting to be able to get the perfect replacement for mbappe because he's got the team placing a good level of dependence on him in a very long while which isn't something they can just drop at once. I know this is a chance for many good players to get to be able to showing how much they can be of importance to the team in that they are now having an opportunity that needs to be utilized due to the absence of mbappe.

After Enrique found out that backing up Mbappe had random results, Enrique actually had another choice or opinion to tell the PSG president that the club needed at least a slightly reliable striker and didn't need to have a star striker like Mbappe who was very expensive and difficult to get. who is on par with Mbappe.
This random result is proof that if there is a striker player who is a little more reliable, the results will definitely be a little different and a little easier to predict because PSG has relied too much on strikers for so long, so they have to have at least a pure striker player like Victor Osimhen who could possibly become the last option even though it seems unreasonable at the moment but that could all change with a bigger offer.

It is not certain who will be the new player to replace Mbappe but what is certain is that PSG needs a new player to replace Mbappe who has left this club or else the results in the coming season will experience a slight decline in performance making it difficult for them to maintain first position in the table points.

Enrique is a terrific coach. But PSG? They want results yesterday, not tomorrow. Enrique's got his work cut out. In place of Mbappe? A tall order. Kids are superstars, generational talents. However, PSG's issues transcend beyond one individual. Culture transformation and winning attitude are needed. That distinguishes good teams from great ones. Enrique can stabilize and provide tactical expertise. Can he form a squad from these superstars?

Dont call him PSG's savior yet. This squad has many flaws, and removing the coach is just the beginning. They need a complete makeover. The voyage will be rocky till then. I know how to win.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi certainly cannot be blamed for PSG's failure to retain Mbappe at this time, as the owner of the club of course he realizes that Mbappe is the mainstay of the team so far so that indeed he will continue to try to keep his mainstay in various ways, previously Nasser Al-Khelaifi managed to convince mbappe to stay at PSG but of course now mbappe desire to leave is so great that mbappe rejects all offers Contract renewal, when Nasser Al-Khelaifi tried to keep Mbappe but you still blame him, then what if Mbappe left two seasons ago, wouldn't you also blame Nasser Al-Khelaifi for his inability to keep Mbappe in the squad?

I think, only you have been blaming the owner of a team that is very royal and dare to spend a lot of money to keep the squad intact , losing Mbappe will certainly make PSG's attack dull next season, but I think with the financial strength that PSG have now of course they will try to bring in other players who are as good as mbappe and make PSG again have a reliable striker.

Luis Enrique has taken on many such challenges before and knows what to do when a key player leaves the team. Mbappe is certainly a good player and has contributed enough for the club so there is no reason to think that the club's performance will stop if he leaves. Since they have good financial support, they can definitely buy quality players for this money. In a few games of the season that just ended, we saw Luis Enrique deliberately benching Mbappe and giving all the other players a chance to try and figure out how their team would perform without Mbappe. The performance of the team has not been very random so if he adds some new players to the club then the performance of the club will be better than before.

It is official now, after Angers and Auxerre already passed to Ligue 1, it is the time of St-Etienne to get the third bid and follow them after defeating Metz on aggregate.
The first play-offs game ended 2 - 1 in favour of St-Etienne then in the second leg, the legal time ended 2 - 1 for Metz this time so they had to play extra time in which St-Etienne successfully scored a goal and avoided playing penalties.
Metz played with 10 players since the first five minutes of the game, yet they stranded until almost the end of the second extra time. Metz followed Lorient and Clermont Foot to Ligue 2.

Perhaps more precisely, it will be very difficult to get a player like Kylian Mbappe back, because his abilities are above average for other players which can be the difference when he is on the field. Now it is certain that they will no longer be together with Mbappe, so Paris Saint Germain must prepare for all of that. They are actually very capable even without Mbappe, it's just that their dependence has been a bad stigma against them, bad in the sense that they might have difficulties if they don't have Mbappe.

In Ligue 1, I am sure they will continue to dominate this league, because no other team that I can see can match their strength. so they will continue to dominate the league, although I also hope that something surprising will happen, where other teams can perform well and can compete closely with Paris Saint Germain, or even they will break the dominance of Paris Saint Germain.

Currently according to the news circulating, of course, after winning the Champions League, Madrid will soon complete all agreements between the two, so that Madrid can immediately introduce Mbappe to the public as their new player for next season in the near future, speculation about Mbappe future is of course now starting to meet a bright spot, although previously Mbappe was often linked with Madrid but both still hide the agreement So far, Madrid will get Mbappe on a free transfer and of course it is very beneficial for those who do get star players without spending money.

Mbappe from the beginning of the season has confirmed he will leave PSG but so far PSG have not moved at all to find players who can replace Mbappe in their front line, Mbappe has a very important role in the squad and of course it will be very difficult to get a player who does have the same quality as Mbappe at the moment,  But I think every star player of course will not be great without the support of his teammates and so will Mbappe in my opinion, so maybe Enrique will also be able to create a new star at PSG next season by maximizing the collective game.

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. One of Enrique's most notable strengths is - he is very nice and fair, efficient in managing PSG's players.

In the first leg St Etienne can really play well, because St Etienne also has good dominance and managed to beat Metz in the first leg. But in this second leg, at least St Etienne will also play away and thus, I personally doubt St Etienne will be able to maintain the victory or maybe Metz will manage to turn things around. Because after all, these two teams are competing to be able to play in Ligue 1 next season and they are basically mediocre teams, so it is difficult to make a choice in the bet that I will make. Because anyway, even though St Etienne plays in Ligue 2 too but obviously, that St Etienne is also not a new team to playing in Ligue 1. Therefore, ofcourse, any result is still possible to happen, because of course they also have big ambitions to play in Ligue 1 next season.

Currently, there is not a single player who can replace him and even if there is, he is a player who cannot be separated from his club. It will be very difficult if PSG plays without Mbappe starting next season so they don't have many options available. It's possible that if PSG was the team that had always been his home for winning prestigious titles, perhaps he would never have left France.

Mbappe has been wanting the missing pieces for years and if he stays at PSG he will be increasingly left behind by other great players. So his decision to leave PSG was the right one and maybe his competition with other great players in his new team will make it take a little time for him to become the most highlighted player. Luis Enrique is an experienced coach and I believe he can do his best for PSG even without Mbappe.
