As I always say in many posts, if in the end Monaco will be able to place its position in 2nd place in Ligue 1. reviewing the two matches that Manaco will play until this season ends, it is possible that Adolf Hutter's team squad should be able to secure  to finish in 2nd place in the Lique 1 table. In this way, they will be safe when heading to the Champions League next season. Speaking of Brest, recently they have not been able to maintain the balance of their team's squad and so Monaco has shifted the ranking they previously occupied.

As for Lille, Paulo Fonseca's squad has the opportunity to shift the ranking that Brest currently occupies. but with the condition, Lille must beat Lyon in tomorrow's match. If that happens, then the position occupied by Brest will be overtaken by Paulo Fonseca's squad. Moreover, Lille will act as the home team when they host Lyon's match tomorrow. Their chance of overthrowing the opposing team is quite big. Well, talking about the Brest team squad, it could be said that Brest has made quite a difference this season. Naturally, they only focus on the two Domestic League competitions. yeah, like Nice at first. However, these two teams are actually mediocre teams. In the end, the ranking they occupy at the end of this season has the potential to be overtaken by the teams below them. it could be that Brest will end up in 4th place in the Ligue 1 table. My prediction for this team is that in the end Brest will only finish in 4th place in the Ligue 1 standings. The potential for being overtaken by Lille is very big, and the difficulty in taking over returned to the standings they had previously occupied.

Yes, Victor Osimhen is a very good choice as a replacement for Mbappe, but the problem is that the current position of the club that has Osimhen is in bad shape and needs a great player like Osimhen.
I am sure that if Osimhen is given freedom from Napoli, PSG will definitely not make a small offer but will offer a large salary to be able to get Osimhen and as a player who is not too old, Osimhen will definitely accept the offer to still get a big salary and look for challenges. new to league 1 scoring in large numbers.
Another problem is that Osimhen is a talented young player and the reason he is at Napoli is that he wants to have a perfect career and get a prestigious title but apparently failed this season and as a young player who has very good quality talent he will definitely not choose PSG.

The reason is that Osimhen will definitely choose a club that can provide prestigious titles such as the Champions League to increase his experience and career, which is what every player who has great talent really wants.
It is difficult to get Osimhen, even though he could offer a large salary, this does not guarantee PSG's future in big competitions.

They can't get anyone RIGHT NOW, because it is not the transfer window, and while some teams has started working on getting players, PSG is a rich club and they shouldn't rush into getting anyone, if they do that then the result wouldn't be that great. I believe that we are going to do something that would be quite strong if you give them enough time, they are going to get a lot of great players, they just need time.

As I always suspect, with that much money, it wouldn't be a problem for them to get the league title, they will be the champions easily without Mbappe as well, they just need to make sure that they are doing better at UCL, which is tough because they are at semi-finals right now, doing better than that without Mbappe would be quite tough, so they will need to focus just on the league.

You make a good point about how Mbappe's exit leaves big shoes to fill. PSG is making a good choice by going after Osimhen. These guy's numbers are crazy, and he looks like he could fit their method. Moving on from Mbappe, on the other hand, is a whole different story. Not only does Mbappe have great stats, but he also has those times that make the difference in a game. Osimhen definitely has the ability to do that. He's not just fast, he's a beast up front. It's normal for there to be a time of getting used to each other, but PSG clearly sees something in the guy

facing Clermont, Monaco must win. It's not just a matter of points earned. but also because their opponents are teams at the bottom of the standings.
Monaco will get tickets for UCL. but let's see how they play in the remaining games this season for them. the opponent was not as weak as Clermont. I hope they can still close this season well.

get tickets for the UCL or not, I think Brest is showing the growth in the quality of their game very well. Just look at Brest while competing in Ligue 1, just this season they are playing very well and can even be a competitor for strong teams.
I think whatever the final results, they should be appreciated. I hope their team survives and plays better next season.

I think the only problem PSG will be having currently has to be with their ability to be able to scout a perfect replace for mabappe because financial they appear very capable and having the ability to be able to afford whosoever they dim fit as a perfect replacement for mbappe by next season when he will be leaving PSG to Madrid. When a good player like mbappe is leaving a team like this, it's usually difficult getting suitable replacement for them almost immediately.

Osimhen would have been a good replacement but then he has said it that he's plans are to play in an English team so his target is mostly around the English side and I doubt if an offer from PSG will be accepted by him but then I usually don't like making comparison for this two players as it's makes me fe like the Messi and Ronaldo comparison of which if when should do a critical check into their performance a.d achievement considering every situations around them,w e will find out that they were just good in their aspects as much as they could and not the fact thst we had to make comparison standards for them.

These two were playing in an entirely different leagues and they were both able to achieve the much they could with their teams in their separate leagues so I think it's fair to say they are both good in their ways except for some aspects where one gets to be above the other and it's very normal because they can never be equal by every standard of comparison as they are both totally two different personalities.

I think with the remaining games Monaco will go to the Champions League next season. They have 61 points and are 6 points away from Lille who are in 4th position. However, Monaco only has 2 matches left while Lille has 3 matches remaining. MOnaco on paper only needs 4 more points to lock their position to get a ticket to the Champions League.

Well, there is Brest who is in 3rd position, actually the interesting competition will be shown by Brest and Lille, because they are only 2 points apart now, but Lille still has 1 more match than Brest. Who can clean up the victory, then they will be able to secure a place in the Champions League. Both Brest and Lille still have opportunities open to go to the Champions League. It's just that they have to be consistent in winning. Let's see who will represent Ligue 1 in the Champions League next season. Maybe there will be 4 clubs there, if one of them can compete in the play-off round.

As we have now two rounds left in this season, we have two teams are almost relegated and one spot is having challenging situation but it is favouring Le Havre which is currently at the 15th spot and this 3-1 win give them boost for the staying into league for the next season as well even still things are not easy but next round match while Le Havre will visit Nice and Metz will visit Strasbourg these matches will be give clear shape about these two teams.

Le Harve done good job in first half of the season having troubling time in second half just because of this now they are having troubling time even most chances they could be able to survive but still things are looking for the better performance in last two games of the season which will give them one more season here in this Ligue 1.

Monaco who lost to Lyon last week can bounce back in this week match with a fairly convincing victory from the relegation team, the victory over Clermont Foot certainly makes Monaco chances to play in the Champions League next season wide open after Brest drew with Nantes today, Monaco struggle this season is of course quite tough after previously they were far from the Champions League zone but slowly they were able to rise and even Successfully eliminated Brest from second place after a long time they defended, for now of course Monaco only need to win one more of the remaining two games they have to be able to secure a Champions League ticket next season.

I think Brest this season has been a surprising club and also sad in my opinion, honestly I was very surprised to see Brest throughout the season being PSG competitor at the top level, and even Brest was able to maintain their position in second place for quite a long time, but it is quite sad to see Brest current position which is even starting to threaten to be able to get a ticket to the Champions League next season,  In fact, I see maybe Brest will get out of the top 4 if later Lille and Nice can win all their remaining match.

Second place in the French league 1 standings and a ticket to the champions league next season certainly belongs to Monaco with a very good current performance, it is certain that they get the final result against Clermont yesterday helped him get closer and they certainly only need to continue.

Clermont last season was in 8th place in the standings but today is in a position that makes it definitely relegated, a very bad decline while Brest is the opposite and surprised many people this season, they have improved significantly, while Lille is quite stable and they should be able to get a champions league ticket next season because it can be considered an improvement for those who last year only got a Europa conference league ticket.

Monaco are getting close to securing a ticket for the Champions League group stage. This win was really important for that. I don't expect them to lose their spot on the remaining two game weeks. The last one to join directly is still doubtful though. Brest and Lille are in a really close competition. Lille has a good chance to take the third position now after the draw Brest got yesterday.

Brest are actually one of the surprising teams of the season. They have come a really long way so far. Even if they drop down to the 4th position I hope they make it to the Champions League anyway. All this effort shouldn't be in vain.     Their remaining games are against Toulouse and Reims. I think both of them are winnable.

PSG always has enough money to bring in any star player, but the obstacle is whether or not a star player wants to be on a team like PSG. Because the French League is not as competitive as other leagues, the team does not develop better because what PSG often faces are very weak opponents. However, for Osimhen, he could also be quite suitable as a replacement for Mbappe even though the levels of these two players are very different. And apart from the replacement players that PSG must look for, the PSG coach himself must also have more extraordinary tactics so that PSG can continue to progress perfectly in the Champions League next season as they did this season.

PSG play good game and all players were right now target, but sadly they were not lucky enough to have any goal which is the best thing happen for the Borussia Dortmund in this game because from the start of the game PSG were doing good job, and they were controlling all but sadly their luck was not with them in this game, and they have to face defeat but still things are not bad for them even we can't give the best prediction because we all know soccer is funny game, and we can have any upset in any game like we have against Barcelona with PSG lost at home and then won in Barcelona so here anything can happen even mostly are predicting PSG can win and go through for the title race into final but still its not easy job.

Borussia Dortmund which is now going to face fourth time PSG in this season with now having 1 win 1 lost and 1 draw but sadly in last three meetings which they play here in Paris they never won with even never score any goal which is going against them and having good advantage for the PSG to win and go for the final.

His reputation as one man army is undeniable with his performance is also at the top for his club and national team he is fully committed player who can bring changes in any game with this all now we have to accept time is changing, and he wants to do something big for his career so he is now leaving with who is coming to replace him it's not confirmed with can they play like this after him, it's also another question which is looking for the replies.

In current season, we are having their best performance under Luis Enrique which is impressive even still long way to go for the double but if they are able then surely this could be historic moment, and we can expect change of mind from Kylian Mbappé It's not sure.

Now many are talking about his possible replacement with we are having few good players but who is coming here in Paris it's not sure but mostly are expecting we are going to have Victor Osimhen or Dušan Vlahović with both are young and have quality to compete but still it could be not easy to have performance like Kylian Mbappé.

PSG was able to do that when they faced Barcelona previously with an aggregate that PSG could surpass, in the second leg match PSG actually gave Barcelona a surprise, I think Dortmund also knows that and they will play carefully when facing PSG in the second leg match later because PSG It could be difficult for Dortmund because they are playing in front of all their supporters in France, Mbappe and his friends will definitely learn from their failure in the previous first leg match where they found it very difficult to score a goal against Dortmund.

PSG should be able to overcome this and get rid of Dortmund in the second leg. If they fail, of course their efforts will be in vain. They have already reached the semi-finals and Dortmund must fail. I think PSG really has to play more seriously and Enrique will definitely change all his tactics. and strategy to get a win against Dortmund in the second leg, I also hope that PSG can meet Madrid in the UCL final because in my opinion it's better than seeing Munich and Dortmund in the UCL final as two teams from Germany who have managed to survive until now. this and fight to reach the final.

I personally still place bets on teams or other matches in Ligue 1 but unfortunately, sometimes I forget to place bets due to busy work in the real life. Like the match between Monaco v Clermont yesterday and I had realized beforehand and was going to place a bet the next day but unfortunately, I was so busy that I forgot. But yes, congrats to you for winning the bet but indeed, Lens basically has a good performance and head to head record as well compared to Lorient. Therefore, it is certainly a victory target that must be obtained by Lens in the home match against Lorient, because Lorient at this moment is also in the relegation zone and Lorient also seems to have been confirmed to be relegated.

PSG needs to find someone to replace Mbappe RIGHT NOW. As for Osimhen, I see what you mean. His strength and speed could help close some of the gap. I've seen him play. But Mbappe is a whole other level. You cant just buy that Champions League magic. When you're wearing the PSG shirt, you have to be ready to take on the world. Trust me, it takes a certain type of player.

Losing and winning is normal in football, but when a team has everything it needs to win but still loses, of course there is something that the team must improve, in the first leg of course PSG were able to dominate the game but if you look at it in terms of attack and defense, isn't Dortmund still better?  PSG's dependence on Mbappe has of course been known by Dortmund so they know what Dortmund must do to kill PSG's attack, the 1-0 defeat to Dortmund certainly still gives hope for PSG to avenge the defeat in the second leg later but I think Dortmund has also prepared a strategy to be able to anticipate this happening in the second leg later.

Against a team that is only focused on the Champions League and also no longer has hope in the league is certainly not an easy thing, because after all Dortmund will give all their abilities in the match to maintain its victory, even though PSG only lost 1 goal on aggregate but I am quite sure if PSG will find it difficult to equalize the score let alone beat Dortmund in the second leg match later.

Clermont which was having stable position in 2022 to 2023 now this season was terrible which bring them down to bottom, and now they are going to live into Ligue 2 for the next season having the worst performance even with their last season performance things were looking much better and mostly were expecting they will do good performance and try to stay in middle of the league table but nothing positive happen to them, and now they are out of the Ligue 1.

Few weeks back when they have draw against PSG in Paris this was looking it's going to be good for them, but they are not able to stay at the positive way and fail to win games which give them boost now after this defeat against Monaco they are having nothing here even now it's not chance for them to have 16th spot which helps them for having playoffs to stay here for next season.

I think PSG's defeat in the first leg is a natural thing and doesn't need to be taken too seriously because they can respond in the second leg later and in terms of play in the first leg we can see that PSG is a little better than Dortmund so there is a big possibility that PSG will be able to win. turning things around in the second leg because they are playing at their own home.

Nothing is impossible, everything is still possible to happen.
I think the possibility of PSG being able to advance to the final is very big now and whoever they will face in the final I don't think it really matters and the possibility of winning the title is still there.
