Lyon performance with Pierre Sage was very fantastic because since he was in charge on December last year Lyon was through an 22 matches in Ligue 1 total under him and from those matches Lyon can gets 16 wins which these results is makes them can able to finish at 6th place on League Table and Lyon has successfully to secured one ticket for Europa League for next season i think this is amazing because at the beginning of season their performance is very poor and i thought Lyon will be relegated because at that time their position at the bottom of League Table

Everything has been change when Lyon was decide to hire Pierre Sage as the replacement of Fabio Grosso because with him Lyon progress is very amazing but the future of Pierre Sage in Lyon is still uncertain because although Lyon president John Textor has been confirmed Pierre Sage still in this team for next season but until now Pierre Sage hasn't received contract extension from Lyon and if Pierre Sage is really stayed in Lyon and extended his contract i am sure Lyon potentially can compete for Champion League spots

My friend, it was such a tense game between Metz and St Etienne in the second leg yesterday. I really admired Metz's determination honestly. Scoring two goals after being shown a red card and keeping their hopes until the last moments of extra time were great things to watch for me.    I believe they could have stayed in the Ligue 1 if it weren't for that red card.

Because they started to play defensively in the second half to take less risks. Anyways, congrats to St Etienne! I don't say they didn't deserve of course. They also made a huge effort there.    It is nice to see them back in the Ligue 1 after two years.

It has been clear since last year that Mbappe will leave Paris. From the moment he said he did not want to extend his contract, he signaled that he would leave the team at the end of the year. Enrique should have thought about this too and thought of a player to replace him by now. Mbappe will no longer be a PSG player and he must be left incomplete. The team will have to pay a lot of transfer fees to fill that gap.

In my opinion, PSG is aimed at the Champions League even more than necessary, sometimes it seems that a great desire to achieve victory in this tournament prevents them from achieving this. Someday this must happen, PSG are a strong enough team and they often come close enough to the final without missing out on quite a bit. It seems to me that this time they should have beaten Dortmund, they played better and created a huge number of chances but could not score, was it bad luck, or did Enrique simply lack a good striker?

By the way, Conte, who will be the new coach of Napoli, does not want to let Kvaratskheli go to PSG, and even agrees to raise his salary. So for PSG it is still unclear who they will strengthen the attack with.

I feel like they do not really need to wait that long, it is not going to be that hard for them to get the win again, they are almost always great, and I feel like we are going to end up with something that will do quite fine.

I am not saying that we are going to end up with them having an easy win, or not even saying that Mbappe won't be missed. I am just saying that the yare a team that almost always does great, so it wouldn't be really that hard for them to do well, which is why I think it's quite important for them to win it again. They have that possibility, we should consider the fact that we are not going to end up with PSG failing to win just because Mbappe is not there, I think they will still be easily the best team.

It's not easy to cope with the absence of such a vital player as kylian mbappe who's presence sometimes ment confidence for the team but then at this point he's exited the team and been able to maintain that confidence that the team usually gets to maintain before now will not be such that will be really easy because they are going to first try adapting with whosever is going to stand In as his replacement and then make sure to get the blend with him.

It's going to be quite a long long season for PSG because they will have a lot to fix, it may even mean getting to doing some trial and error moves to hoping to get the perfect and accurate replacement for the position mbappe did occupied while he was in PSG. I know PSG has the financial power to get almost any player they want but the problem will now be with scouting for such a player and not just getting the player of which currently they are yet to find any of such player who's ability can be likened to that of mbappe who's currently in the transfer window and ready to move to a new club.

Luis Enrique has done the best he can do of which I see that he's still doing so far and will definitely make sure he's able to achieve the much he can achieve with the team even with the absence of mbappe as it's one of the experiences that sharpens the coaching skills, having to deal with situations as this and still getting results off it even with the slim Chance that it proves, you just still have to make sure you are productive amidst any situation.

PSG may be late realizing that after doing so much, there is no point in keeping a player who doesn't want to stay at their club or wants to leave the club every season. That's why this season when Mbappe's contract with Real Madrid was discussed, PSG did not take it too seriously and they did not put any obstacles in Mbappe's contract. With the amount of money that PSG paid Mbappe every season, they could buy a number of quality players who would be loyal to the club and who would be interested in giving the club a lot. 

Luis Enrique may not have felt the need to buy any additional players because Mbappe was there last season, but since he will be leaving this season, Luis Enrique may be able to sign multiple players and have a long-term plan with them.

Winning the Champions League trophy was the main goal for Paris Saint Germain. But even with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in this team, they couldn't do it. I think it's impossible for them to do it next season. They will undoubtedly continue to dominate the French Ligue 1. They still have quality players like Hakimi, Dembele and Vitina. They are the number one favorites for the title in the French Ligue 1. But I can't give them a chance for the Champions League. I don't think they have the squad to do it. But I would like to say that Luis Enrique is doing good things to create a good team there.

I feel that's what PSG should do, not to try to get Mbappe not to leave this team in any way, Mbappe is still relatively young and he has to gain more experience in other leagues and play for other teams, according to reports it seems that Madrid has recruited Mbapee as a striker in Madrid to fill in on the front line to look more productive, it's time for PSG to focus now on finding a replacement for Mbappe, at least a young player who is really productive in terms of scoring goals because that is important for the competition next season.

PSG should be more focused and not only target the domestic league but also other competitions such as the UCL next season, at least until the important round in the UCL final next season or winning the title, PSG must be able to prove that without Mbappe their performance will not decline even in Their domestic league must continue to maintain their dominance, including in Ligue 1 because so far they have never failed to win the title in Ligue 1 and dominate it also in the French Cup. Hopefully PSG can find the right replacement player to be able to compete next season.

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.
