Mbappe has confirmed that this season is his last with PSG and he will leave at the end of the season, but as far as I know mbappe still has the responsibility for him to play with PSG until the end of the season so it seems that Enrique is preparing Mbappe for his last match with PSG when he faces Lyon in the French Cup final,  For now PSG no longer need points in the remaining Ligue 1 matches so it is very natural that Luis Enrique dropped almost all of his reserve players in the match because indeed the game against Nice is no longer a priority for PSG.

At the moment Nice only have a chance to play in the Europa League next season, but after all their failures this season of course playing in Europe will be a great achievement for them, even if Nice can reach the Champions League play-offs, of course I am not sure they can get through it with the performance they are now, this season Nice can end the season ranked 5th and certainly that's not a bad thing with the inconsistency they have had so far in Ligue 1.

Although Mbappe will leave, but in the match against Nice the fact that Mbappe suffered a muscle injury and made Mbappe not included in the squad and also not on the bench. But that doesn't mean that Mbappe has left or no longer respects his contract at PSG because I'm sure that if Mbappe is in a fit situation, of course Mbappe will also be available to play. But about Nice, the truth is that Nice was only able to get a Europa League ticket although indeed, Nice managed to start this season well. But anyway, Nice is still not strong enough to be able to maintain its position in the Champion League zone in the Ligue 1 standings but at least, Nice has been confirmed to play in the Europa League next season.

If we want to be specific on this subject,  then PSG should learn from Real Madrid that know how to blend old players with fresh bloods. Real Madrid have actually integrated some new and unpopular players into their squad, who grew and help the team with their energy. This is the reason Real Madrid is able to maintain their play both in terms of skill and physicality.  Instead of following this synergy, PSG prefer already-made players, perhaps they think that this is still the time big names players football. Maybe they will make this vital adjustment from next season.

They are doing extremely well in the French league although the league is more or less looking like a forest with only one tree. We are yet to see any team that will sincerely challenge PSG. Maybe that will happen in the future.

In the previous season as well, we saw excellent performances from Marseille players. The team was third in the points table. And Marseille players performed very well throughout the season. But we don't see good performance from this team this season. And the eighth place in the points table is the Marseille team.

Marseille can not qualify for the European League. Marseille's defense and attack are both weak. Marseille's main target next season will be to perform well in Ligue 1. If Marseille's players are diligent and give full effort only in Ligue 1 matches then the team has the potential to stay at the top of the Ligue 1 points table. However, it is very difficult to make predictions about the performance of Ligue 1 teams. Except for PSG, every team's performance has been erratic.

Yep, because they will have a lot of free time next season, they should be able to finish in a more decent position next season. With what has happened this season, of course the club will carry out an evaluation after this season is finished, and the lost against Reims is a form of the club no longer being motivated. Even if they win against Reims, nothing will change apart from their better position in the Ligue 1 standings, they cannot easily overtake Nice and return to play in the UECL next season.

We have discussed this many times and no matter how much money PSG spends, it will still be useless in winning the UCL title. We know that this is not an ordinary competition like Ligue One and even if PSG is studded with star players, this will not guarantee them winning it.

The problem here is that PSG must really reorganize everything and not rely on existing star players and it would be better if they could start from academy players or hire an experienced coach and the selection of Luis Enrique is very suitable for this job. It's just that one season is still too short and PSG must give Luis Enrique more time to organize his young players.

After appointing Luis Enrique as main coach, PSG must give him the freedom to choose players according to his wishes. Osimhen is an ideal replacement for Mbappe, but PSG must give Enrique space to choose a midfielder who can regulate the rhythm of the game well. PSG failure so far in the UCL is due to the players not having strong chemistry with each other. Luis Enrique must make the players connect with each other and work together to achieve the team's goals.

PSG must change their transfer policy if they want to win the UCL trophy, so far they have brought in too many quality players at high prices, but have not been able to establish good cooperation between players and coaches. This season PSG failed again in the Champions League, they have also lost one of their best players. Enrique must make players understand each other like Xabi Alonso did with Leverkusen if he wants to win the UCL trophy.

Yes, it was forced this season PSG did not get the chance to win the champions league.
The news that Mbappe will leave PSG has been around since last season, so I am not so surprised by the news that Kulian Mbappe will leave PSG because he hopes to enter Real Madrid, and to be honest in the previous season Real Madrid had prepared a seat for Mbappe, but the price was too expensive, maybe they hadn't prepared for it.

As for PSG's targets Osimhen and Rashford will be an interesting scramble, I have no doubt about the money problem with PSG they certainly have it and are willing to spend a lot of money on their target players, and I think it's pretty sure that PSG will get it.

Marseille haven’t been at their best this season and yet they were still in the chase for European spot and with the match against Reims, you’ll think Marseille will be getting victory there to boost their chances. Well football happened and they lost the game which thrashed the little hopes they were building of being in an European competition next season.

 Well now they mustbstart afresh and I think doing that, they should be ready to let go of the coach and hire one that can help to rebuild this team again. Nice on the other hand though started the season quite on a high note but things went wrong which I sincerely can’t say what. ⁠Now they’re sure of Europa league spot after the loss to PSG that one is certain for them and it’s a better achievement after not been able to go to the UCL.
 
 Whilst the battle for UCL spot is still on, we can expect a thrilling match in both venues of Brest and Lille as the positive results will decide who goes to the UCL. ⁠Brest will be playing Toulose nd you can already call that a win for Brest as Lille could probably end in a draw with Nice. Well I can’t wait for the final results of these matches and see what it holds for us in this stage of the competition.

PSG should learn from other teams to buy young players who are talented and have the potential to become stars, at least it is more productive because buying players who have experience alone is not necessarily productive and reliable, just like buying Messi and Neymar at that time did not lead PSG to win the UCL. At that time, PSG just wasted money but didn't produce any trophies except Ligue 1, that's why PSG had to be more careful in choosing players who were much younger and experienced because it was important to be able to replace Mbappe because next season the competition was quite tight.

PSG learned from yesterday's failure in the UCL, they weren't really mentally prepared so they weren't very confident and that must be instilled from an early age so that next season they play even better than this season, at least they can reach the UCL final and win the title, but PSG must can find players who are truly productive to be able to compete closely next season both in the domestic league and in European competitions such as the UCL, losing Mbappe will certainly be difficult for PSG to recover but they must immediately find the right replacement.

But there are many rumors circulating that PSG has prepared a contract agreement with Osimhen. When there was news about Mbappe leaving PSG next season, it was reported that PSG had approached Osimhen. I don't know if they are targeting Rashford but I think it makes sense to be Rashford as second choice. But if it's Osimhen then I'm sure he can be a worthy replacement for Mbappe.

PSG is still having difficulty winning the UCL even after the club owner spent a lot of money. I think winning the UCL is the biggest challenge and money can't give you the UCL. PSG must look for chemistry between players, officials, club management and coaches to form a solid squad, and not just how many star players you have.

PSG has incredible finances and talent, yet the Champions League trophy eludes them. Really, its sad. Mbappe, a world-class talent, may require a change of setting to fulfill his greatest potential. Rashford is talented, but can he save PSG? A tough choice. I know how to win, and Mbappe is hard to follow. PSG can afford the best names, but titles require more than star power.

This is about chemistry and creating a winning culture. I've always stressed this. So, if PSG wants Rashford or anyone else, they better make sure it fits the team  Someone who scores goals and improves teammates. Im optimistic, but we'll see. PSG can be fantastic. They must make the appropriate stepe. This club has potential, and I hope they can win the Champions League. Hard work and determination would be rewarded with a huge victory.

there are still 5 matches remaining and everything is not over yet if after yesterday's defeat Nice are still able to consistently get points in every match.
In yesterday's match, Nice could actually still get at least 1 point with a draw, but as you said, if every opportunity that Nice had was wasted, they couldn't produce a score, whereas Nice chances were not just once but more than 3 times and they all failed.
even though this is Nice opportunity to get 3 points because PSG only competed away using second tier players but unfortunately Nice couldn't take advantage of the big opportunity that Nice had in yesterday's match.

after this, if Nice really wants to get a ticket to the UCL playoffs, they must at least be able to secure 3 points in a row or by drawing several times without losing, it can give Nice a boost in getting a UCL playoff ticket.

It's very dissapoint to see Marseille performance because they were lost from Reims which on the paper this match should be easy for them and with this loses i am highly doubt Marseille will be finish at top 6 considering yesterday they were failed to cut their gap points with Lyon and Lens and apparently Marseille next season will not playing at European Competitions because for top 6 Lyon and Lens will compete to finish on that place and because Marseille will not extended Jean-Louis Gasset contract i think Marseille should be look for new manager who can able to bringing this team to performing well again next season

In the other hand the loses from PSG makes Nice chances to finish at top 4 is compeletely closed because currently they have 4 points below to Lille and with only 1 matches remaining then impossible for them to taking over 4th place from Lile but at least Nice can playing again at Europa League after absense for 4 years however the last spot of Champion League is really interesting because Brest and Lille has same points so seems the teams who will be finish at 4th place will be determined next week but if we see based on the schedules Brest is relatively easy because they only will faced Toulouse but for Lille they have hard match because Lille have to fight against Nice

If there is any confirmed news on this matter, here is the news that Mbappe has not extended his contract with the club until 2025. PSG will never let a player like Mbappe leave the club as a free agent member. As long as Mbappe had a contract with the club, Mbappe was responsible to the club, that is, Mbappe was obliged to listen to any decision of the club. Between the two terms, Mbappe signed a contract extension until 2025 and then decided to leave the club while still under contract with PSG. Only PSG why no club will release a player like Mbappe as a free agent member.

Currently Nice's competition to reach at least the Champions League playoffs has ended after being defeated by PSG, initially Nice who hoped to get 3 points in the match of course had to be disappointed because it was predicted that PSG would no longer be motivated to win in the match, before the game started I also thought if Nice would be able to easily get 3 points in the match because indeed PSG fielded almost all of its reserve squad,  But Nice who fielded almost all of their main players actually failed to win and now the Europa League position is the most realistic end for them next season, Nice who were actually able to impress in the match wasted too many chances to score so that indeed PSG narrow 2-1 victory became the end of Nice struggle in week 33 of the season.

PSG have ended the season as Ligue 1 champions and they have actually officially parted ways with Mbappe after being knocked out of the Champions League this season, so I think in the one remaining game of PSG this season in the league maybe they will no longer field Mbappe to play, and Enrique will prioritize giving reserve players or young squad flight hours at this time,  There is one final PSG have to play against Lyon in the French Cup and it looks like we will see Mbappe in  PSG shirt for the last time this season.

It is over for Nice when it comes to their Champions League chance. I was expecting the PSG game to be difficult even though PSG announced their championship. But at least Nice guaranteed the Europa League title qualification. If they were a more productive team I would expect a bigger success from them. Because the season actually started really well for them.  

By the way we didn't see Mbappe in this game. As these are his last days at PSG I would expect him to take part in the remaining games. I wonder whether he didn't want it or Luis Enrique didn't want to.  

Mbappe's departure will of course have a big impact on PSG's performance, especially on the front lines because in the last few seasons PSG has been quite dependent on Mbappe's performance and it cannot be denied that Mbappe's contribution to PSG is very large and now PSG is certain to be quite difficult to find. replacement for Mbappe.
However, if you look at it from another perspective, Mbappe's departure will be quite good for PSG and also for Mbappe.
PSG can build this team evenly without relying on just a few players and Mbappe can make his football career more developed by joining another top European team and Mbappe can also win many titles if he joins the right team.

Ligue 1 is a very specific championship, I don’t see teams showing consistent performance from season to season, except for PSG. The fact is that few of them are so worried about preserving their team, they are more concerned about selling players that other clubs are interested in for as much as possible, for them it’s just business. But PSG have completely different goals, they want to win the Champions League. By the way, Monaco could be the team that could break the dominance of PSG, but they have the same model, they perceive their club as a business that brings them very good profits and that suits them.

Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of this season, the right decision for Mbappe to look for a new challenge and also the opportunity to win the prestigious Champions League, with Mbappe's departure of course PSG will look for a replacement to start next season with new players, considering that PSG also currently wants to win the Champion title Champion to make himself the best in Europe, if we look at Francis they have tasted all those titles.

Currently PSG is of course looking for a replacement for Mbappe, considering that he will leave at the end of this season, PSG must look for a player who is equal to him, many names have appeared in the media at the moment, including Vinicius Junior, but there is no accurate information published in the media at this time, Here I think PSG will consider many players to be able to realize their dream of winning the Champion title, Luis Enrique also wants to bring the Champion title to Paris and they have to consider players who suit Luis Enrique's game.
