At the start of the campaign, PSG performance could not be trusted at all, because Luis Enrique squad lost surprisingly to Newcastle and Milan, and overall PSG was lucky to qualify from Group F to advance to the round of 16. In the round of 16 PSG journey was a little smoother, because they faced Real Sociedad who did not have a balanced strength to provide resistance. Then in the quarter finals PSG was beaten again by Barcelona in the first leg, and PSG luck came again in the second leg, Mbappe and his colleagues managed to turn things around and qualify for the semifinals. Next, PSG will meet Dortmund again, who incidentally were their previous opponents in Group F, which in my opinion, luck will again be on PSG side. So overall PSG is very lucky in the Champions League this season, and has the opportunity to advance to the final later.

PSG winning the league is just inevitable, even They have more chance of the winning due to the losses of their rivals compared to themself winning their games, because of the inconsistencies of their rivals. Mathematically, PSG need only 4 more points to secure the league trophy, but with the allure of Ligue 1, It's safe to say that PSG is already the Ligue 1 Champions.

The battle for Champions League zone and relegation avoidance seem more interesting, the points gap between the competitors are close enough. Monaco, Brest and Lille will have to give their best form for their ambition to play in the Champions League next season. Nantes is still not safe from relegation, Le Havre, and Lorient have still chance to stay in Ligue 1.  

Luis Enrique's only goal now is to do well in the Champions League. And I would also say that PSG's performance is unexpectedly good right now. I have seen this team's performance in the Champions League since the beginning of the season. I don't think PSG performed very well. The team's performance was quite erratic. We have not seen this team perform consistently well. However, we saw a much better performance from PSG in the knockout round of the Champions League. And the team has now managed to qualify for the semi-finals.

PSG will face Dortmund in the semi-finals. The Dortmund team is also not very strong. And the performance of this team is also quite erratic. So PSG win against Dortmund is more likely. PSG look set to qualify for the Champions League final.

Mbappe will not stay with PSG next season. So Mbappe will try his best. There is no doubt that Luis Enrique's match strategy is very good. PSG have the potential to do well in the Champions League if Mbappe and Dembele perform well.

I misunderstood what the author wrote when I first read it, but when I read the whole thing, I understood what he meant, so there is no problem. PSG could not comfortably trouble any team throughout the season. They continued to an unexpectedly good place in the Champions League, and their chances still continue.

They have semi-final matches, becoming champions early in the league will enable them to focus on that side. On the one hand, it is definitely being said that Mbappe will be transferred to Real Madrid at the end of this season. It will be a big loss for PSG if this transfer is certain.

Yes, I believe all PSG is craving for now is lifting the champions league trophy since they have nothing to worry after winning the ligue1 yesterday all thanks to Lyon for making it look so easy, they have got few days to prepare and they have the advantage of having a stronger team and a better squad against them opponent Dortmund.

Regardless of the loss that Monaco suffered in the hands of Lyon yesterday PSG would have found it very easy to still be crowned champions looking at their point difference, it would have taking them 2 to 3 matches before the trophy would be handed over to them  but it's unfortunate that Monaco couldn't defeat Lyon to prolong the celebration of PSG as they are already champions, hoping to see PSG and Mbappe win the big one in front of them which is their biggest expectation so far I wish them success even as they continue in the champions league against Dortmund.

Congratulations to PSG for winning the french league this season, it's actually Worth congratulating them even if it's something we are so used to in the fact thst they always win the Ligue 1 trophy most often and they are now looking like the regular champions of the. Ligue 1 after defending it for over five years in a row it's actually not an easy achievement but then they were able to still get it anyways, even this season wasn't that terrible for them in the Ligue 1.

I can't wait for next season to see how well they will be able to perform and be able to still get to maintain their dominance in the Ligue 1 because they are actually not going to have one of their best players with them again as he will be moving to another team in a different league, i have taught of the fact that they are not going ti be able to probably get to win the league as easily as they did this season because their psychology will not be in a very good form whenever it occurs to them that a key player is absent amongst them a d they just have to probably work with his replacement.

Getting a replacement for mbappe is another thing PSG will have to put into consideration as they get into next season and they must make sure it's someone who can actually get to fit in well enough to be able to help them achieve the kind of results they were getting in his presence so they just have to make sure to maintain some of their good players who has also helped the team get to this point the champions league is now their min focus.

I think this season Enrique has really maintained the quality of the PSG players' performance after qualifying for the semi-finals. Enrique feels very proud and more enthusiastic about being able to continue fighting for the title in the Champions League and even though he has to prioritize the Champions League, Enrique has managed to maintain the appearance of the PSG players so that they don't win. It looks too bad in League 1 and it can be seen that PSG is really different this season, they are more enthusiastic about achieving higher titles in other competitions.
This could be a sign that Enrique's arrival provides a good improvement and even though the results were not satisfactory in League 1, at least it did not embarrass PSG fans because a draw is still a pretty good result compared to losing points which will weigh on the minds of PSG players.

I am very curious whether this is a sign that PSG will win the champions league title because the PSG coach and players are able to apply tactics to more consistently maintain performance in each match and it has been confirmed that after PSG was truly successful in beating Dortmund, this means PSG's chances in the round the final was also very big.

PSG ruling Ligue 1 is insane. Eight titles in ten years...that's a dynasty. And it is quite boring seeing them succeed, especially with the world-class players they've got. It's a testament to what QSI has built. It would be way more exciting to see some serious competition in the league. Underdogs pushing PSG, making every game unpredictable...that's the kind of drama we crave. PSG's real challenge is to take that dominance to the Champions League though. That's the ultimate test. And hey, we all want them to win it big on that stage. But for Ligue 1 fans, a little more suspense, a few more surprises...that's what would make this league even more amazing

The best and fastest way to break PSG dominance in Ligue 1 is with the presence of investors, who acquire one of the clubs and build a squad made of good players. So this will directly increase the competitive level of Ligue 1, unlike this season where PSG is running alone at the top of the standings. Even though Mbappe will leave them in the future, I don't think PSG dominance will be shaken, because the financial strength they have can easily recruit new players.

On the other hand, it is difficult for other Ligue 1 contestants to find momentum like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, where they can break Bayern dominance with an impressive record, but do not spend a lot of money to build squad depth. Momentum like that is quite difficult to happen, and indeed the process does not happen quickly but takes time. Automatically, if Ligue 1 does not have the club we mean, PSG will continue to dominate every season.

However, we hope that teams like Monaco, Marseille, Lyon and other contestants next season can improve their performance by utilizing their potential, so that they can compete with PSG for the trophy. Which ultimately makes it interesting for us to follow their matches every week, and it no longer looks boring.

It is not surprising for PSG to still be able to defend their title and even though they experienced bad results at the start of the season, they managed to complete their mission until the end of the season. Ligue One will remain a farmers' league as long as PSG continues to dominate and that will remain the case for the next few years. Mbappe should accept a new challenge outside France because it would be a shame if he continued to be in a team that won the domestic league title too easily.

Real Madrid will be a suitable home for Mbappe in the competition for other prestigious titles as well as individual awards such as the Ballon D'or which he will definitely be able to win easily. For years in France, it was like breakfast that he could always enjoy, but often he had to try new breakfast menus that were more challenging when competing with strong teams and other great players.

Xabi Alonso is new to Ligue One? I think it's still too early but I also hope it will be there later because it's very boring to see PSG have no competitors who can threaten them every season.

When I first saw your post I thought PSG won against Le Havre and I saw the result wrong. But you were talking about the Ligue 1 title, okay. 

Yeah PSG were already too comfortable in the league for a long time which is the same scenario we see nearly every season. This is killing the competitiveness of the league though but there is really nothing we can do about it. PSG is rich and it is easy for them to win this title over and over again. Even though they actually have horrible stats like 10 draws considering their superiority, they can still become the champions without any problem. This is what makes this league boring. 

Last weekend in the French Ligue 1, Paris Saint Germaine were able to win the French Ligue 1 title which was their 12th time in the club's history and the 8th time they've won in the the last 10 seasons making them the most successful French team of the the last decade. They've dominated the league since their new owners Qatar Sports Investments QSI took over the ownership of the club since 2011 and that's because their new owners have been signing a lot of quality players in to the team to help them dominate the entire league for this long period of time.
I don't think Paris Saint Germaine's dominance of the French league is ending anytime soon because the French champions is the most star studded among the other teams in the league and will still be very much active in the transfer window in the summer. The club's major problem at the moment isn't about dominating the French league but to extend their dominance to Europe.

I think most of us will say the same thing, that Ligue 1 is a competition where only one team runs so that the competition is monotonous because there is no competition which makes us more interested in watching Ligue 1. Practically Paris Saint Germain is the only team that are very strong here, so they can easily win the title every season. Even when they are not serious about their matches, they can still become champions. Don't misunderstand when I say they are not serious, because we can see when they were held to a draw by Le Havre this week.

One way we can see the league running competitively is by seeing other teams improve their performance. Maybe they can get big investors to be interested in them and help them financially, so they can do what Paris Saint Ermain can do. Because the difference in their levels is too great in my opinion, there must be something that can make them more enthusiastic so that they can raise their level, at least not much different from Paris Siant Germain.

Congratulations for PSG because without working too hard they can able to being an the champion of this season although recently PSG only can playing draw from Le Havre but it won't have any affect to their position on League Table even with the loses from Monaco PSG has 11 points above to Monaco and with only 3 matches remaining they points cannot be pursuing again and indeed this result is predictable because since the beginning of season PSG have no decent opponents for race title so this makes PSG always be comfortable to placing first place until today

On the other hand i think Lyon was fantastic because they can able to beat Monaco and now they have 44 points from 31 matches and Lyon currently only have 2 points below to Lens and if Lyon can win in the next 3 matches i think potentially they can taking over Lens position and finish at 6th place which mean automatically playing at Conference League but for Monaco this loses indeed don't have any affect to their position on second place but their position is still not fully secured so Monaco have to bounce back immediatelly and gets the winning results from the next matches but Monaco next week will gets easy opponent Clermont

Congratulations to PSG on another win in Ligue 1. However, I hope that in the future there will be a team capable of competing with them. PSG is considered the favorite every season because of their dominance and high level of play. But the French championship is a one-team championship, so it is very boring to watch.

Yes Warren Zaire-Emery got contract extension until 2029 but looking at how he played for PSG for two seasons it actually not that impressive and what he gave for PSG doesn't look that competitive even though he is one of the main players.
Previously PSG also had several star players who were obviously paid quite lot of money but there were no titles outside of Ligue 1 that they could get, now PSG is just surviving with what they have.
Contract extension for Warren Zaire-Emery can be said to be good news because PSG does not need to spend large amounts of money on purchase options and with this extension PSG can have investment assets in young players.
In the future maybe he will become great player and really be valuable asset for PSG but this is not easy and Enrique has to work hard to achieve all that.

What is still question and something that is quite anticipated in the PSG squad is actually who Mbappe replacement will be next season, we see that Mbappe will leave and PSG will definitely look for replacement.
Mbappe replacement in the future will be very influential and can be an assessment of PSG performance because without Mbappe they are not really strong team like in recent seasons.

The draw obtained by PSG against Le Havre was really embarrassing, PSG's reserve players should have been able to take advantage of the game to win and win Ligue 1 this season, I thought that by fielding reserve players, PSG would be able to win easily against Le Havre who were in the relegation zone, but it turned out that I was wrong because Le Havre played better than PSG,  PSG almost had to postpone their championship celebrations this season if Monaco won from Lyon, but now PSG had to thank Lyon because  Lyon victory allowed PSG to celebrate today's championship after Lyon beat Monaco with a score of 3-2.
 
In 3 days we will see the first leg of the semi-final between Dortmund and PSG played, although both teams had poor results in the league this week, but I think it will not have too much effect on their performance in the Champions League later, PSG and Dortmund will of course field the their best squad in the match will be because indeed both for now are only focused on Champions League matches while the league of course they will only play half-heartedly, because of the different situations of the two teams in the league at the moment.

Don't be too surprised by the results of the PSG vs Le Havre match, because a team that is weaker than Le Havre even held PSG to a draw twice this season namely Clermont and another weak team that managed to hold PSG to a draw is Lorient, and you can see how PSG this season achieved 10x the results draw, maybe PSG underestimated their opponents because they were just a team that was in the relegation zone, but this draw did not prevent PSG from confirming the Ligue 1 title before the match against Dortmund because Lyon managed to beat Monaco so that PSG's points could no longer be chased by their competitors.

Will a draw from Le Havre make PSG a doubtful team in the match against Dortmund? I think not because you can see that even though PSG will be away team in the first match, they have odds that are not much different from Dortmund and their opponents have just lost badly to their rivals in the Bundesliga, so overall PSG can be said to be better than Dortmund, but that's true it's not a guarantee that PSG will win.

Well, actually, they can do that, as long as they intend to do it. Now if they only recruit star players, then they will have strength for at most 3 seasons in my opinion, and after that they have to go back to looking for other star players to replace their old players or whose contracts have expired or choose to leave the team like Mbappe. Meanwhile, if they build a foundation from the ground up or regenerate, they will gain strength that can last longer.
Indeed, it takes time, and actually they can do 2 different things at the same time. We can see what Real Madrid is doing, they are not immediately replacing all their players with young players for regeneration, but they are doing it slowly. And we can see what they can show now, with the many young players they have, they can reach the semifinals of the Champions League, and they also managed to become champions in La Liga. You don't have to be proud when you follow the method used by other teams, as long as it has a positive impact.

Congratulations on winning the French league this season, PSG. Enrique did an excellent job assisting PSG in defending its trophy. King MBAPPE has won the French League three times in a row now. I believe it is time for Mbappe to leave the club and join another to pursue a new challenge. I am confident that mbappe can do it.
Having said that, he appears to have an easy time in the French league. It's time for Mbappe to face a more difficult challenge, such as moving to Real Madrid. This will allow him to improve his performance even more than before. Mbappe is doing extremely well this season.

I hope he goes to the real Madrid. It's unbelievable how Monaco draws against its opponent. It helps PSG win the French League trophy even earlier than I expected. PSG did it again.
There is no doubt that this is the PSG league. Paris Saint German has consistently won the competition at any time. I am confident that this league will have the same fate as the Bundesliga. There must be someone like Xabi Alonso who can end PSG's dominance.
