The third one is the French Super Cup title of which PSG won the trophy on January 3rd by beating Toulouse by 2-0.

Monaco also had a really good season by the way. Finishing 9 points behind PSG is nice work done. Ben Yedder has been one of the goal sources for Monaco however he has decided to leave by the end of the season. His contract also ends this summer normally. He scored 16 goals in the league this season so maybe Monaco might be sad to hear about his decision.

He is 33 years old already though. Maybe Monaco would start giving young strikers more chances from now on. Balogun is actually not a bad striker but he needs to be consistent and play at least as good as the previous season.

Moreover, PSG will also lose Mbappe, of course it will be a tough job for PSG to find a replacement immediately, next season of course the competition will be very tight for me PSG always makes mistakes in recruiting players, it is important to look for young players who have the potential to become star players, there are several PSG has to have young players, PSG must have them because if you only rely on experience, those with an average age will usually lose their performance easily. That's why it's important to have several new young players in the main squad to balance the game.

PSG also wants to get the UCL next season, they have to be able to see which players are good and which are not, sometimes they choose star players but don't look at their performance, just look at them often fail even when they have Neymar and Messi it doesn't produce results even though Mbappe also there, let's say the front line is quite good but not productive in winning matches in the UCL, I think PSG have to learn from a lot of their previous experience because they have to be able to reach an important round in the UCL next season, let's say the UCL final, I think Enrique should be able to get players talented for PSG and replaces Mbappe next season.

That's right, Ligue 1 already belongs to them, I mean they really dominate this league with their financial capabilities which are far compared to other teams, so it's natural that when they see them play here it's not more interesting, because we know what their quality is like and We would rather see how they perform in the Champions League, because there they have competitors who are as great or even better than them.
It is something they look forward to every season that they really want to get the Champions League title. But until now they couldn't get it, even when they collected 3 names of star players, they still failed to get it. Paris Saint Germain must be more patient, they can build a foundation first. Maybe it's a method that will take time, but when they build the foundation they will have a solid team for the long term, not like they brought in a star player, because that will last a very short time, and in fact they already feel it now.

There is no certainty about where Mbappe will go to make himself develop, and of course Mbappe is not leaving just to find new experiences for himself, which is most likely because he is frustrated with the Champions Trophy and also the awards that will show that he is one of the great players .

Seeing Mbappe playing with PSG and how he fights for the team he plays for, I wouldn't hesitate if he joined another team, because Mbappe is an easy person to get along with so it's easy to get a place in his new team later, and also quickly understands how to play with a team. which he will play for next season.

We have been saying for years that PSG does not have a rival in the French League. Their main goal should be to become champions in the Champions League. The quality of the league is not very high, we do not watch a match like in the Premier League or Serie A. PSG has a much larger budget and the team's squad is much stronger than other teams.
Were they successful this year? I do not think so. I think they are a team that should have played much better, their job was done against Dortmund

Their level is above the average team in Ligue 1, so their success in becoming champions in the domestic competition is something that is not surprising at all, even before the season started they were predicted to become champions. Here we can see how superior they are when it comes to domestic competitions.

It's a different story when they are in the Champions League, because in the Champions League the strength of all teams is almost the same, so Paris Saint Germain often has difficulty competing in the Champions League, and it has been proven that until now they have not succeeded in becoming champions there because they always fail every season. .

Their target every season is the Champions League, so one way they can make it happen is by bringing star names into the squad. However, up to now, what they have done has not produced any results for them, it could even be said that they tend to fail, because they have experienced several internal problems.

Mbappe farewell at the end of this season with PSG, Ligue 1 titles and also the French Cup, indeed Mbappe did not contribute single goal to PSG victory over Lyon in yesterday final match but at least he is still great player for PSG.
Even though the match almost resulted in draw 2 - 2 because Lyon had chance that really almost scored goal, at least PSG was able to maintain its lead with the 2 goals they had in the first half.
This match showed that Lyon was also able to compete well and there were some quite optimal attacks even though they were really under pressure from PSG game.
Now Mbappe will only be memory for PSG and in the future perhaps they will only be enemies when there is an opportunity for PSG and Real Madrid to meet in other competitions such as the UCL.
Mbappe looks very satisfied with what he has done for PSG in his last season despite several pressures and disagreements between him and Enrique.

The World Cup was of course the perfect stage for him, but in my opinion he was on everyone's radar when he played for Monaco already when they won Ligue 1 against all expectations. It is hard to believe that he hasn't yet won the Ballon d'or, but I think his time will now come when he finally leaves PSG and goes to Real Madrid. That's probably when he will get another chance to win the award. So far he was nominated six times and now that Messi and Ronaldo are gone, his chances increased by a lot. But I doubt that winning Ligue 1 would ever be enough to win the award. He will need more success than that and in a best case scenario he can win the Champions League title. Curious to see who is going to make it this year.

Away from PSG mbappe have played in the world cup for his country and he didn't do any bad there, he was able to actually perform so we'll that he was given an award at the world cup at that was the genesis of his recognition on the global football stade, I believe away from PSG he's still going to perform greatly especially if he's got a very good team mates around him and not those who will be dependent on him.

If he's going to Real Madrid I wouldn't have much doubts about how well he will be able to perform in Madrid because I know the very enabling environment is there for him to be able to really get to manage enough and have a chance at his very best performance. The champions league appears to be his dream trophy that he's yet to lift a d he's hopeful about lifting it so e day and I'm optimistic if he gets to Madrid it won't be long the long awaited dream will come through and he's going to lift the champions league trophy soonest .

Mbappe has made his movement on the basis of his career advancement because it appears mostly like he's not getting enough from PSG to be able to get to achieving that which he dreams off and this aswell includes winning other awards personally as a  player in the champions league a d probably across Europe too, because he's been of a very important and vital role for his team since he's has been at PSG but isn't getting the desired kind of recognition.

Mbappe got his last achievement in PSG and they won the against against Lyon with their superstar player. He played for his team and helped PSG while I was even expecting to see PSG not using this player as a punishment to use the other young players instead of him but they didn't and in the end, Mbappe was holding the trophy in his hands.
He started talking about the time he played for PSG and he said he enjoyed the time when he played in Paris and for his team.
 

True. PSG is way superior when we compare it to the other teams in terms of quality of players and budget, so it is expected to see them winning Ligue 1 title and French Cup. The result of the final game was somehow close even though Lyon has a hard season this year..
Next year, Luis Enrique will certainly make some changes in the team with Kylian Mbappe walking out and no one could substitute him for real..

Luize Enrique did his best for PSG this season, and he has achieved what other coaches used to achieve and also failed to win the Champions League the team and the management want which I think is not his fault because managers that are better than him came and try their luck with a better team than this and failed to win the Champions League; therefore, I think it is a matter of time and PSG will win the Champions League but not anytime soon because they need to restrengthen their squad more.

The attacking line will have to struggle for a while because the team fully relied on Mbappe and his departure will definitely affect the team, but I know if the management can spend money, they will have a good replacement  for Mbappe and will make the team more stronger because they will stop depending on one player.

Paris Saint Germain was undoubtedly the favorite for this cup. But Lyon was not an easy opponent even for them. This season they had the worst start in their history. But with the good transfers they made in the second half of the season, they turned into a good team under the leadership of Piere Sage. They showed one of the most obvious examples of coaching influence. On the other hand, I have nothing to say about Paris Saint Germain's Champions League dream. Even with Messi and Neymar in the team, they couldn't make it. This season they came very close to the final. But they failed again. Every season they get a little bit closer to the final. But Messi, Neymar and Mbappe will no longer be in this team and they will play for other teams.

But until now everyone has only seen how he is doing so well at PSG, not at other teams. So it will be quite curious for some people who like him to see how Mbappe will develop in a team like Real Madrid if that really happens to him in the future. But in terms of his choice, I have absolutely no doubts about next season because apart from him still thinking about his own career, he is also thinking about getting a prestigious trophy like the Champions League which he has never won at PSG so far.

All the trophies Luis Enrique won this season with Paris Saint Germaine have been won by the club on several occasions in recent years so winning them without doubt was a good start to his spell at the club but it didn't give the club fans any new feeling. The club's management have invested hugely in the past years to make sure that the club goes on to win the UEFA Champions League title and that's the fans expectations when Luis Enrique was announced as the club manager.
Luis Enrique having won the treble with Barcelona which includes the UEFA Champions League title in 2015, have all the needed experience to help the club achieve their ultimate dream of winning the UCL. In his first season at the club, he reached the UCL quarter final so I think he'll likely do better next season

Luis Enrique's performance in his first season in Ligue 1 with PSG should deserve high appreciation. Luis Enrique won the Ligue 1 title and reached the semifinals of the Champions League in his first season. Of course it is not easy to achieve perfection in the first season, many coaches fail and this is not something that is unacceptable.

PSG failed in the semifinals of the Champions League this season because Dortmund was able to give their best in defense, but PSG have tried even though I think they are very unlucky. PSG can make a better effort next season even though Mbappe has left, it is not an obstacle why PSG cannot move forward. Kylian Mbappe's departure was prepared, but finding a better player than him was not easy.

Winning all the trophies other than Champions League is not something impressive for PSG. All those trophies are expected to win by PSG with quality of the their squad. The Champions League trophy will always the main target to bring a good impression of their achievement. However, What Enrique has done deserves to given the credit, it's still not easy to win all the trophies despite having the best squad in Ligue 1.

Prestige is a high standard for PSG due to their spending prowess to get top talents into the team. The departure of Mbappe will affect their attacking line, but I think Enrique has the ability to adjust his tactics to make their attacks stay dangerous without Mbappe. Signing a new forward won't be a difficult task for PSG, but they have to find a right player that suits the tactical adjustment planned by Enrique.  

They don't judge football that way, changes and upgrades can also have an impact with how you okay in your team don't get me wrong. Right now I can agree but in the future, we can see a total different squad who can beat them back to back in a season. I believe As Monaco also did years before as they also went on to win the league one Competition.

Lyon fought Paris Saint Germans yesterday but they couldn't hold them down to get a point out of that game yesterday.

Those early goals from Ousman Dembele and Fabian Ruiz also helped them as they took that game with so much intensity, having those two goals was enough to settle and keep possession.
It should be a goodbye for Kylian Mbappe as he was able to be the highest goal scorer in league one and also winning two trophies this season.

Luis Enrique has won just the League 1 Competition and also the one they won yesterday making two, which is the third please?

What you say is true that Lyon will not be able to beat PSG in domestic competitions even though Lyon has performed well recently and was able to save themselves from the relegation zone and managed to finish in 6th position but still Lyon will not be able to be better than PSG and in In their match today, PSG managed to beat Lyon with a score of 2:1 and managed to win the French Cup and was a final farewell gift for Mbappe, who will soon leave the club. This match was his last match with PSG.

Luis Enrique has won 3 trophies this season with PSG, which is a good achievement, but it still feels like it's not enough for PSG if they haven't won the prestigious UCL title that PSG really wants. Hopefully PSG will continue to fight to win that title and won't give up easily even though Mbappe has nothing at the club will dampen the mentality of their players who have quality players.

PSG squad is actually pretty good. Not only have they not performed well enough this year, they have been inconsistent. They were defeated and eliminated because they could not achieve stability. They had a successful performance in the UCL, but they could not fully achieve the goal because the main goal for them was the championship. I think the only point they achieved was the League 1 championship. It is now much harder for them to win the UCL because they will have lost their strongest weapon next year
