Of course when a team lose it’s key players for years, you will sure expect a decline in their football style. And you can already predict PSG suffering to extent in the UCL especially as Kylian Mbappe’s departure is imminent. I also just confirmed that some other great players will be leaving. ⁠The likes of Hakimi whom his contract expires at the end of the season, is set to leave the club as he doesn’t want to renew, and I feel this kind of player leaving will further weaken the squad more.

 Well psg have the finance and i think they should better do some good signings else they will be suffering a lot this season and might even struggle in the league too. The loss of Mbappe should be a lesson on why clubs shouldn’t create a stule where they depend solely on one player for the team’s success.

 Now I think it’s time for PSG to rebuild again and get players in almost every position, not just players but quality players that are ready to give their all. I think. Enrique is a great coach and can offer a lot so he cm be trusted to handle this rebuilding phase. They need to act fast before other clubs sign the good and better players out and they’re left behind

Left one promotion ticket for Ligue 1 next season after Auxerre and Anger automatically promoting by finish on 1st and 2nd place now left opportunity between St-Étienne vs Rodez will fight one ticket and face the 16th standings Ligue 1 teams Metz for securing promotion ticket. Actually its difference way of promotion for Ligue 1 than other competition usually three bottom standings team will relegate and two direct promotion ticket and one left will take by team under 3rd standings position trough playoff round match.

Tomorrow St-Étienne vs Rodez and the winner in this match will face Metz to get one promotion ticket to Ligue 1, are there any potential next season Ligue 1 have three promotion team if possibility for the winner between St-Étienne vs Rodez defeat Metz or only two promotion team with Metz will defend their Ligue 1 position for next season.

Indeed Ligue 1 promotion system is very different compared to other league because the top 2 place at Ligue 2 will be automatically promotion and the teams from 4th place and 5th place will fight each other for semifinal play off stages and the winner of this match will facing the team from 3rd place which this season that place was belongs to St Etienne and about Rodez they still hard struggling to fight for last ticket of promotion team but indeed they have good chances to promote and yesterday Rodez dramatically can beat Paris FC with penalty shootout and i think they are very impressive considering Rodez status at that match is not the favourite

About Rodez indeed Zidane is the investor of this club and several years ago Zidane was save this club from bankruptcy and now their financial conditions is gradually better and fight for promotion ticket and tomorrow Rodez will facing St Etienne and the winner of this match will facing the team from 16th place of Ligue 1 which this season Metz who finished in that position and about the match between St Etienne vs Rodez i think Rodez have good chances to be the winner of this match considering Rodez is very impressive and in the last 7 matches in Ligue 2 Rodez only lost once and from head to head statistics too Rodez is still unbeated from St Etienne in the last 5 meetings

Losing Mbappe from the PSG squad will of course leave Enrique with few options for their front line next season, Currently, Enrique continues to say that without Mbappe of course their squad would still be very strong to compete in the championship, what Enrique said is true because without Mbappe in PSG in the future, PSG will still be able to compete in the domestic league, but in the Champions League next season of course that will be very doubtful, so far with Mbappe in the squad, PSG still failed to win the Champions League even though Mbappe is their mainstay player also has the status of the club top scorer and also Ligue 1, of course we can imagine what would happen to PSG if next season they only competed with the current squad without Mbappe.

Like it or not, of course it is mandatory for Enrique and the PSG owner to immediately find another player who can become a star and also a mainstay for PSG next season, in my opinion, with the amount of money that PSG currently have, of course it is not difficult for them to buy new players,but, it seems like it will be difficult for them to get a forward player who is truly of high quality and will make PSG able to compete for the Champions League trophy in future, Previously there were rumors that Osimhen would be Mbappe replacement, but it seems like the news is starting to fade, or maybe there are other players,PSG targeting him as Mbappe successor next season?

Even though PSG will lose Mbappe, I don't think it will have a significant impact on PSG in League 1, they will still dominate League 1 next season. It's just that losing Mbappe will have a big impact when competing in the UCL league later, but according to news circulating PSG will not remain silent about losing Mbappe, they will immediately replace Mbappe's position with another player. It would be better for PSG to learn from other elite teams by starting to build a foundation, because so far PSG has been strong because it immediately doesn't believe in the process, maybe by losing Mbappe this is the best thing for PSG so that it doesn't depend on just one player.

Building a foundation is very important in every team so that regeneration can occur, so far we only know that PSG is a team that is very rich and can easily buy players they like even though in the end their ambition to win the UCL trophy always fails. Because even though there are many star players without a solid squad, it is impossible to win the UCL trophy. Losing Ramos, Neymar, Messi and now Mbappe is of course a big blow for PSG. The team will undergo a major transition and will need time to rebuild its strength. I think Enrique's task next season is to build a solid squad and not just rely on one star player.

Luis Enrique knew from the start of this season that he would no longer have his best player Mbappe with the squad next season. And so he wants to stabilize the PSG team without Mbappe.   Despite Mbappe being fit, we saw Luis Enrique resting Mbappe. And allowed other players to perform in Mbappe's place. Luis Enrique has experimented with the PSG squad this season.

PSG management is very rich. They have a lot of money. So next season Luis Enrique will be able to add the players he wants to the squad. I don't think PSG management will have any hesitation in spending money to buy players.   Luis Enrique will surely build a squad capable of performing well in the Champions League next season. However, we still do not know anything about which player Luis Enrique will add to the squad as Mbappe's replacement.

Yes, PSG no longer has a star player at their club for next season (Mbappe) but PSG also has players with good quality, although they are not as good as Mbappe, who has made a big contribution to the club so far, but time goes on and of course PSG has thought about this. Previously, when Mbappe had left the club, they had to accept that decision because players would definitely try new things by changing teams, especially with Mbappe's talent, he certainly didn't want to stay at PSG any longer and waste opportunities.

Yes, I think PSG will start new talent by developing young players from the PSG academy to hone them into great players because it's useless for PSG to buy star players at high prices, they still can't achieve their dream title, so instead of wasting money, it's better to take advantage of the existing ecosystem.

Losing Mbappe means PSG has to look for a replacement to be able to start next season with new players, but if you look at Luis Enrique, he is a coach who likes to play with talented young players, PSG also has many good academics. ,will Luis Enrique run next season trusting his young players? that could happen.

However, if you look at Nasser Al-Khelaifi, he certainly wants good and experienced star players, because he really wants his team to win the Champions League, therefore there will definitely be a replacement for Mbappe next season. Currently, many names of Mbappe replacement players have emerged, one of which is Rafael Leo with his good performance with Ac Milan, I think this is the right choice to replace the vacant position at PSG.

Not only for PSG, but this is also a loss for Ligue One because they lost a star player who has made the league busy all this time. We might also not be as enthusiastic as before with Mbappe not being there because he will move to another league with his new club.

I don't think PSG will build a foundation from scratch because they have been preparing it since last season, but the results are far from perfect. With the squad built by Luis Enrique they will still be able to dominate Ligue One but for big competitions like the Champions League it will still take longer. But I believe they can do better as long as nothing changes in the next 2 years. The thing that needs to be considered is how they build a proportional squad and this is a tough job for PSG.

Next season PSG will lost Mbappe, who has been their mainstay all this time,Losing Mbappe will actually have no effect on PSG chances of winning Ligue 1 next season because currently there are no teams in Ligue 1 who are capable enough to compete with PSG so far, PSG certainly has dominated Ligue 1 since the ownership of the club was taken over by Nasser Al Kheilaffi, competing in Ligue 1 certainly won't be difficult for PSG, but that's not the case with the Champions League, the Champions League is the only trophy that PSG hasn't been able to achieve so far, so I I think they would be happier if they could get the Champions League trophy for the first time rather than winning Ligue 1 in a row.

Next season, PSG will definitely spend a lot of money to find a worthy replacement player to replace Mbappe on the front line and I think they will dare to spend a lot of money if they find a player who is truly worthy to replace Mbappe on the front line, apart from focusing on the front line, it is true that PSG should also improve their squad to be even better, especially the defense sector which in my opinion is not yet capable enough to prevent attacks from other European teams in the Champions League, in fact, PSG poor defense this season can be seen as their goal being conceded is actually worse than with Nice currently in 5th place in the Ligue 1 standings.

Two more stages for Rodez to be promoted to Ligue 1 and I'm sure they can face St Etienne to reach the final. But after that the competition will be much more difficult because they will face Metz if they make it to the final. Rodez must take full advantage of this opportunity because they are a few steps away from promotion, but if this doesn't happen then they will compete again next season.

Maybe each competition has different rules and for me it's not an exaggeration because they should know that. If they really want to get promotion tickets using the standings route then they have to finish in first, second and third place.

currently PSG is in a difficult situation when it comes to finding a replacement player for Mbappe with the same quality of performance and that is not an easy thing because as before they have the desire to bring in Osimhen which may be difficult to bring in this player when Osimhen wants to get a prestigious title and prefers the team which has a big reputation in big leagues like UCL and PSG is not the right team for him.
and I also thought there were other players who had very good performances like Guirassy who had almost the same talent as Mbappe and PSG could try to make an offer to him even though it would also be a little difficult.
but it won't be easy for PSG to bring in quality players like the two players I mentioned and on the one hand we all know that PSG has very good finances to bring in these players easily but in the long term for me it won't be a good future for them, PSG only hopes for expensive players.

as previously speculated, now is the time for PSG to try one season to bring in talented young players and try to develop the talents of these young players into long term players who can make a good contribution in the long term and this kind of strategy is also used by any popular team to creating young players and using long term contracts.

Not too concerned about the team invested in by Zidane or anyone else because after all, the team's achievements and performance remains the main thing that people will judge. Also, about Rodez winagainst Paris FC I think it was natural result because after all, Paris FC also played in Ligue 2 and Paris FC also only finished in fifth position below Rodez who finished in fourth position. So yes,the victory of Rodez v Paris FC I think is nothing special but indeed, about the next match Rodez will play against St Etienne who are also bothteams playing in Ligue 2. But indeed, St Etienne is a team tha tfinished in thirdposition and thus, it will likely be difficult for Rodez to be able to beat St Etienne later but indeed, ofcourse Rodez still has a chance to win too.

Even though most of the players are now very comfortable with the team they are currently playing for, PSG itself will also try to monitor the market in order to find a player who is worthy enough to replace Mbappe. Although this will certainly be quite difficult for PSG because now the best players on other teams won't just want to move if they are comfortable enough with the team they are currently in. But PSG's task is to search even though the conditions are not easy enough for them.

Wasn't Rodez a team in which Zinedine Zidane has invested? Now it looks like they are trying to promote to the Ligue 1 through playoff stage.     They beat Paris FC by 3-2 first and have reached the semi finals. Now they have a matchup against St Etienne. If they clear this stage successfully as well then their opponent in the finale is going to be Metz.

I didn't know that the 4th and 5th finishing team in the Ligue 2 had to play 3 matchups in total before reaching the Ligue 1. Isn't it too much? For example in the Championship in England, there are only 2 stages: semi finals and finale.

PSG will suffer next season most especially in champion league, psg have already lost Mbape because we all know that Mbape is not going to play for PSG next season, psg will also lost some players because there are some players that will be out of contract and they don’t want to renew their contract, I also heard about Hakimi the defensive right back of psg that he will not renew his contract and he will leave the team, PSG is going to lose many players this season and the team need to do something about it, I know that PSG can get a better players to fix the problem of the team but it will be different from when Mbape is in the team, PSG still have a lot to do because losing a player that always help them will be very difficult for them to be in a good position.

This is why it is not good for a team to depend on a player, PSG really depend on Mbape that is why even when he wants to leave the team the president of the team is not happy about it, the leaving of Mbape also lead to the hate from the president because they didn’t even give him a good celebration before leaving, Mbape and his brother will leave PSG at the end of the season, according the the rumours is that Ethan Mbape will not longer be in the team after His brother leave the team.

The season has ended and next season Paris Saint Germain will certainly not have the players they have always relied on, they will have to lose Mbappe because they decided to leave Paris Saint Germain and look for an even bigger challenge. I want to see what they will do next, who other star players they will bring in, because right now I think these players are comfortable with their respective teams.

Are they going to build the foundation from the ground up? I mean they will carry out regeneration by promoting a lot of talented young players, or they will continue to chase star players by spending a lot of money. I hope management doesn't take the wrong step in making decisions, because the fact is that even though they have many star players, they haven't been able to get something that allows them to achieve something in competitions that are bigger than the domestic league, like the Champions League for example.

Yes, Lyon is not just an ordinary team in LIgue 1, but in the last few seasons they have experienced a decline so that they can only compete in the middle of the table. Previously they were a team that could provide quite tight competition at the top but recently they couldn't do all that because they experienced something that ultimately made them have to fight to achieve victory after victory.
I hope they can quickly find their best form again, because after all they are one of the big teams here. I think they can do it, as long as they get off to a good start. They have to find out what caused them to experience a decline like this, and if they succeed in finding it, I think they will slowly be able to find their identity again.

Lyon is one of the most famous football teams in France. This club once dominated French football with 7 consecutive championships from 2001 to 2008. However, in recent years, Lyon's position gradually declined when PSG received strong investment from Arab owners. For a team that hasn't won the French championship in more than a decade, and hasn't even been able to get into the top 2 in the last four seasons. The rise of PSG and Monaco has taken away their dominant position. Another leading reason is that Lyon has sold young stars to gain immediate profits. After selling off their potential young stars, they became down.

Currently, Lyon has completely transformed under the leadership of coach Pierre Sage. He brought Lyon from the relegation group to its current position. If Lyon wants to regain the position that belongs to them, they should appreciate the good players they have.

Lyon is not an ordinary club in the French League 1, perhaps because of Lyon's poor performance this season, many people who have not followed League 1 for a long time think that Lyon is a mediocre club who is lucky because they managed to survive the relegation zone, even though in fact Lyon is a big club. League 1 always competes with top clubs in League 1, but this season Lyon experienced a decline which caused them to have difficulty competing with top clubs in League 1, but as time goes by, Lyon is starting to return to its best version and now it will compete with clubs again. top flight and managed to finish in a better ranking, at least he is in the top 6 and will play in the group stage of the Europa League next season.

I also didn't expect Lyon to be able to recover quickly in the second half of the season even though they were already quite far behind and most people thought Lyon would be relegated but it turns out that many people's statements were wrong. Lyon is not a weak club that easily gives up even though they are quite far behind, their enthusiasm and determination to get up made them perform amazingly and achieved many wins so that they managed to finish in the top 6 and against PSG in the French Cup final will be a crucial match for both of them.
