In fact, they should have done that from the start, but Naser Al Khelaifi was too confident in continuing to entrust Mbappe in the hope that he would continue to be at PSG with the influx of facilities he was given.
In fact, releasing it now for free is clearly a loss that should be minimized. But indeed this is also quite good for learning so that in the end in the next season when there is a player who has the type and performance like Mbappe, PSG will not make the same mistakes.

Currently several players are starting to be linked with PSG as a replacement for Mbappe but there is still no one who is truly believed to be the successor to PSG's backbone.
I think Osimhen is still a pretty good candidate, but if you really want to look for a player who is a runner and relies on dribbling then the rumors about Rashford are actually not too excessive in my opinion.

Yes, whatever the result of the match, it will not affect the position of PSG and Monaco, because the distance between their points and the others is quite far. PSG's dominance in the French League still cannot be overtaken.

Brest at least has a bigger chance of winning this time because their opponent is Toulouise, which incidentally is not as strong as Nice, LOSC's opponent. So if you want to win, Lile has to try with much harder effort. This really determines them and they will definitely make such an optimal effort.

That will be the most decisive match for Lille and Brest regarding their fate next season. It's true, Lille journey feels more difficult than Brest in terms of the opponents they face, however Toulouse could still be a troublesome team for Brest. I think that among all the matches that will be played in the closing week, the two matches involving Lille and Brest are quite interesting to follow, considering that it is a competition for tickets to the Champions League. However, personally I predict that Lille and Brest will both be able to secure full points, so their ranking will be determined by the difference in goal productivity and number of goals conceded.

Meanwhile, Nice, who had stayed in second place for a long time in the standings, is now must willing to finish outside the Champions League zone, but they are still lucky to finish in the Europa League zone, and Nice overall performance this season is better than last season. Monaco can also be said to be lucky enough to be able to compete again in the Champions League next season, and their performance is also better than last season.

Without Mbappe, PSG have the ability to still dominate Ligue 1, their squad has already been better than other teams in the league. They also have Luis Enrique, a very good coach, to keep the team remain strong and competitive. They only need to make few signings to adjust the team's fluidity without Mbappe, because they won't find anyone who can replace the Mbappe's quality.

Champions League will still be their main target, but they need to strengthen the squad with a more cohesive team. Developing young players should also be their plan, they need to have a strong foundation for the future. Money won't always solve every problem at football, because this sport requires talent and spirit to keep playing at the highest level.

From now on PSG have to count on themselves and try finding a player that could replace Kylian Mbappe so they can keep dominating Ligue 1. For Champions League, they have to build a better squad.. they will regret not winning it this year after all what happened.
Zague is still young and he has to adapt with the team. Dembele in the other hand has to pop up quickly and recover since his mission become heavier in PSG.

Before now, I have compared the position of PSG a d looked at the point gap away from their most closet rival at the second position then I have aswell related it to the number of games remaining before the end of the season a s I mentioned that there are chances that PSG could be endangered if they don't get to buckle up and make sure to broadened the point gap as it's not looking like such that can't be closed if put into consideration.

Now it's gradually looking like it may play out but then there's still a way out. Before now we could excuse PSG in the fact that they were really busy with the champions league and some how it could serve as a distraction to them but then now we have come to terms in the fact that they have just the Ligue 1 trophy to face so all their efforts should be focused in that direction and achieving this trophy for the season after all it's been a regular trophy for them as they have won it more often than any team in the Ligue 1 has ever done over the years.

Usually the Ligue 1 has been one of the boring leagues in Europe in the fact that its one of the most predicted leagues as it's always known that most times PSG eventually gets to win the league title so most persons don't get to find it interesting enough to give attention to something they already know the end from the beginning except probably by next season there will be a change and I doubt if that strategy of Enrique will actually be really effective for PSG.

Ligue 1 only has one match left and so, basically, even though if for example PSG and Monaco lost in the last match, but PSG and Monaco have already locked positions one and two. But even so,  at least competition is still going on for third place because Lille and Brest have the same points because, even though they are in the top four, but about fourthplace has to go through the playoffround to qualify for the Champions League. Therefore, Lille and Brest will put in all their best efforts in the last match later but unfortunately,Lille will have a more difficult opponent than Brest. Because after all, Lille has to play against Nice in their last match,while Brest will play against Toulouse.

There is a good point about this match. PSG was playing against Nice without their superstar player, Mbappe and not having Mbappe could affect PSG and this team could have a bad performance, especially in the attacking since they were playing without Mbappe.
But the young French player of PSG, Yoram Zague had a perfect performance and he scored the second goal to help this team win the game with a 2-1 result.
Yoram Zague is an 18-year-old player and he is a good talent in PSG.

Yes, we will see changes to the PSG squad next season and we will also no longer see Mbappe in PSG matches. I am also quite curious whether PSG will still perform well in League 1 when Mbappe is no longer in the squad because PSG has always relied on Mbappe on the front lines. and the victory that PSG has achieved so far is because of Mbappe's big contribution to the team. Without this player, who knows what would happen to PSG, but it would be more interesting if in the end PSG had difficulty competing in League 1 because their squad is on par with other clubs and PSG had difficulty achieving next season's domestic title and other clubs will break the dominance of PSG, which has controlled the League 1 title for years.

After having a lot of conversations here, I understand why many people doubt that PSG will have difficulties if they lose a star player like Kylian Mbappe and all of this is because several times since Luis Enrique has tried to introduce other players without Mbappe the results have been very erratic and look inconsistent.
From here, many people doubt PSG next season and PSG should bring in a replacement player to fill Mbappe's vacancy with a player who has almost the same skills as Mbappe even though his skills are not the same, at least they can strengthen PSG's attack line.

Any results will not affect Paris Saint Germain's position, because they have already confirmed being champions this season, so in my opinion they should start looking at the future, or they should prepare themselves for next season. Now they will be left behind by several players, including their mainstay, Kylian Mbappe, who is certain to leave Paris Saint Germain next season.
They have to look for new players who can fill the existing void, or they can regenerate so they can build a solid foundation for their future. Now the choice is in their hands, whether they will recruit star players again or they will regenerate like many teams are doing now. Paris Saint Germain has very good financials, so that will really help them. However, what I regret is that they have not been able to take advantage of what they have now to achieve an even more prestigious achievement.

Against Nice in yesterday match was certainly one of the experiments for Luis Enrique by fielding their reserve squad, for now I think Luis Enrique is no longer targeting victory in each of their remaining games because there is no longer a target to get points, so that is what makes Enrique field their reserve squad in that match,  If PSG still need points then it would be impossible for Enrique to field their reserve squad against Nice and that can be seen from PSG previous matches which are even very rare PSG to field second-tier players even though they faced weak teams before they won the championship trophy this season.

About winning the game, of course, it seems that it is beyond what Enrique expected, because indeed every reserve player will of course try to show their best performance when the coach gives the opportunity to play, because then it will make their chances  to return play in the next match will be open, now Nice dream of playing in the Champions League has disappeared after an inconsistent season journey,  But at least they are still lucky enough to get a place in the Europa League next season.  

it's time for Enrique to waste time after being busy in the UCL match and now Enrique has to continue adding points from each match because it endangers PSG position because Monaco will continue to add points in the remaining matches even though PSG has been guaranteed the League 1 title but if they continue to appear inconsistent it will make lost too many points.
yesterday's match was quite interesting but for me now the competition in league 1 is a little less interesting because in the end it is only PSG who will still get the title and this is also one of Enrique strategies to try not to depend on one of the star players at PSG.

When Mbappé first played for France in the World Cup, he was voted the best emerging star at that World Cup tournament. Basically from there his development started and till now he is one of the best players in the world. Very few players can finish as precisely as Mbappe can. PSG was able to retain the French striker for several seasons only due to money but they are unable to retain the star in exchange for money next season. Mbappe will join Real Madrid's camp at the end of this season, meaning he has already signed a contract with Real Madrid. If Mbappe leaves PSG, of course, PSG will need a replacement with a suitable player, but at the moment, there is no word from the club about whether a star like PSG can replace Mbappe in their club.

Mbappe as been played well for psg and given psg a very good game and infact psg also improved because of Mbappe and if eventually he leaves there is no way that they won't feel his impact. The speed the attack the person that will be taking Mbappe's place has to be good. Also have speed. They might not rely on only Mbappe but they will still miss him and playing with him they will actually feel it.

Sure they will start looking for Mbappes replacement so that they will start breeding the player if he would be able to even play better than Mbappe. So that his absence won't affect there performance that much. And I hope is going to Madrid his legit then his talent will be well utilized there and there might be a good chance of winning the Champions League. Kolo Muani, Gonçalo Ramos are excellent players but also need to work on there selfes the more.

Ligue 1 is unlikely to be more competitive. PSG is a very rich club. And PSG are ready to spend big to strengthen their squad. Even if Mbappe leaves the squad, PSG will spend money and prepare big funds to strengthen their squad in the future. On the other hand, all the other teams in Ligue 1 are not rich enough. Even if money is available, these teams are not willing to spend huge amounts to strengthen the squad. So PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is unlikely to diminish. Also now PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. Enrique will certainly take the necessary steps to strengthen the PSG team's performance.

PSG still seemed determined to win and they did that when they visited Nice's headquarters by securing an additional 3 points from that match. Even though they are playing without Mbappe, this is not a problem for PSG and they have to start getting used to this so they don't become dependent on the French star.

Apart from that, Nice, which I initially favored to win, failed to add to their points collection, but at least their position to play in the European league is locked considering that Lens only has one game left so Nice's points will not be overtaken.

That's why many predict that PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 unless there are other teams that also have star players with market values that are not that different. The value of all PSG players is still very large and that shows the quality of a player. I'm not saying that will be a fixed reference but with such a big difference in market value it is certainly difficult for other teams to compete with PSG. I just hope Ligue 1 becomes more competitive but it doesn't look like that's going to happen at the moment.

The truth is that Kylian Mbappe have easily been the best player at Paris Saint Germaine since he was signed to the club and has helped them win almost every trophy they were supposed to win except the UEFA Champions League title. Mbappe on several occasions have single-handedly decided the result of Paris Saint Germaine matches and that's why a lot of people are of the opinion that France international is the one that's been carrying the entire club on his shoulders for a very long time now. Some people believe that Paris Saint Germaine will definitely struggle next season since Kylian Mbappe will leave the club at the end of the season.
Considering the quality of players at the club, I strongly believe that Paris Saint Germaine will continue to dominate the French league and every other domestic competition they'll be playing in come next season but my worry is that since they failed to win the UEFA Champions League competition when Kylian Mbappe was still at the club, it's now more difficult to win the trophy without his presence at the club. Paris Saint Germaine will sign high profile players in the summer in other to replace Mbappe but I don't think they'll get a player that'll easily become as influential as Mbappe is to the team this summer.

Ligue 1 for season 2023/24 almost over with one match left, still interested with top fourth standings position behind Lille and Brest have the same points with both teams need to secure three points each other for the last match to get Champion League spot without qualifier round. Currently Brest on the 4th standings has the same points with Lille, if last match winning against Toulouse and Lille being draw or loss against Nice make Brest will settle third standings position and make Lille have to play on qualifier round of Champion League.

Left one spot for relegation playoff round, Lorient remaining three points behind Metz but too difficult because have many difference goals although possibility on last match Metz fail getting three points.

Yes, that's the truth. More than a decade has passed since Qatar's QSI group took ownership, PSG spent nearly 2 billion USD but still cannot win the Champions League. PSG still cannot touch the Champions League title once. They won one and lost four of the five semi-finals in this period, the most recent being two matches against Dortmund - the team is only ranked fifth in the Bundesliga with a limited budget. PSG has yet to win the Champions League, despite participating in Europe's highest tournament 14 times. What is worth mentioning is the 2021/2022 season, with expensive stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar, who are very good but still fail.

Personally, I don't believe Luis Enrique will win the Champions League for PSG. I'm still looking forward to another coach who can help PSG win the championship. Why doesn't PSG spend a lot of money to convince young talent Xabi Alonso? At this time, Mpappe's departure will also cause the team to seriously decline. PSG needs to immediately find a player capable of replacing Kylian Mbappe.
