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.

You are right about Lyons form, before now they have been a not just a strong team but a top team that has been always making sure to maintain a spot in the title race in previous seasons but then they gradually seem to loose their form, although it's normal to loose form with Bigg team, but staying too long in that form isn't ideal as it becomes a problem both to the team and the management aswell as the fans.

ThIs season was a tough one for the Lyon team, they literally struggled to be able to escape relegation but it's actually a good one in the fact that they were able to finish at a good position on the table, it was actually very interesting that they did made sure they at some point git back on their feet and started getting pass their phase where they did had the whole struggle somehow it felt unusual they were able to still finish far a way from relegation even after been just a few points away, just like every other big team both in other leagues there will always be times as this.

The ability of the team to be able to quickly get pass such stage is what keeps them really different and strong enough to be separated from the other top teams that have gone through this stage and probably weren't able to survive it this way we'll enough but I believe next season Lyon will get back on their feet, already they had shown signs of improvement and have already were able to finish at a fair position.

This season is of course in contrast to the previous season where Lyon this season looked quite weak, even at the start of the season Lyon felt the bitterness of sitting at the bottom of the standings. But their performance improved even more in the second half of the season where they managed to get out of the relegation zone and closed the season in 6th position.
Of course Lyon is one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1 because they often close the season in the best ranking but of course they are not very consistent in each season which makes their progress difficult to predict in each season.

Lyon success in the second half of the season cannot be separated from the neat role of Sage who was able to provide better tactics in Lyon game. Previously grosso was quite a failure but sage brought quite a good change in its performance in the second half. Well, what Sage did reminds me of Xabi Alonso who brought Leverkusen out of the relegation zone in his first season with Leverkusen. So whether in Sage second season with Lyon he succeeds in becoming champion, we'll just have to wait and see next season.

Maybe if you have followed the French League since a long time you can understand Lyon is not a normal and weak team but they were one of the strongest teams in this league and they were usually racing with the top team in the French League while during this season they had bad time they were even close to get relegated because they lost the game against the team we could never predict them to lose.
But in the second half of the season, they made progress, and they got improved a lot. Now they are in sixth place in the league.

The progress of Monaco under Adi Hütter is very impressive because within 1 season Adi Hütter can able to bringing Monaco to finish at runner up place and automatically they will playing at Champion League again and actually finish at Champion League zone is Monaco main target in the last 5 season but they always be fail to achieve this target and this also causes why Monaco have to changing the manager several times and after 5 years absense to playing on that competition finally this season Adi Hütter can realized this target

Just like i said before Monaco last appearance on Champion League was happened on season 2019 but at that time their performance is very poor because Monaco only able to finish at the bottom of Group Standing and for next season Monaco have to do better in this competition and although it's hard i think they should be hard struggling to advances to the knock out stages however the news has been appears today that Monaco main striker Wissam Ben Yedder contract will be expired this summer and i think Monaco should be give him contract extension because this season Wissam Ben Yedder is Monaco top scorer and from 34 matches in Ligue 1 Ben Yedder can scores 16 goals and help Monaco reach to runner up place

I think the performance and results obtained by PSG this season are still not impressive enough because after all, if the consideration is only about qualifying for the semifinals of the Champions League. After all, in reality, in the 2020/2021 season, PSG also managed to qualify for the semifinals and lost by Manchester City, and I think that is still a normal result.  But this season,even though PSG qualified for the semifinals of the Champions League, but in reality PSG lost by the underdog team, because PSG and Dortmund I think PSG still has betterquality but PSG still lost by Dortmund. In that result, PSG this season still does not have impressive or phenomenal results as you said, because PSG also only managed to win the Ligue 1 trophy this season,  and that is very normal for PSG who only managed to dominate Ligue 1.

I quite agree with your current thinking, it is undeniable that PSG are a very rich team and it is very easy for them to get whoever they want, but of course PSG should also start thinking about building a team for long-term prospects by at least orbiting and also looking for young talents that they can rely on in the future,  If they want to prioritize for young players in their squad of course they will not be able to instantly get the results they want, but I think it will be a bright prospect in integrating and also increasing the cohesiveness of their team in the future, actually what Leverkusen did is certainly enviable for PSG later because all the achievements achieved by Leverkusen this season are none other than the results of their courage Continue to entrust many Academy players to their main squad so far.

Despite the importance of mbappe so far at PSG, of course PSG must be able their to continue to move forward even though they have to lose their mainstay players next season, for now PSG of course have to find a replacement for mbappe in the competition next season and of course they have to find players who are indeed better than mbappe, next season of course to compete in UCL,  PSG must immediately revamp their squad and of course bringing in some players needed on every line may be able to help them next season to compete for the Champions League trophy they have always dreamed.
