Initially, no one thought that the result would end badly like yesterday's match when Mbappe scored early, everyone would believe that PSG would get a good result with a score of 3-1 and beat Toulouse.
but it turned out to be really surprising, the prediction that was discussed was actually the opposite, the result was 3-1 for PSG defeat and this was really very sad, whereas several times PSG had good opportunities, but for me, PSG playing pattern was a little slower than usual, not too fast, and if PSG performance ss before, you can definitely score bigger.
this is my hatred of betting on top teams who are guaranteed the title and are competing with teams from below the standings, always giving unreasonable surprises and even though the result is a loss, PSG will still not change its position because the point difference between Monaco and PSG is so far that defeat is not possible changed PSG position.

It doesn't seem like this is because they lost enthusiasm after failing in the UCL, but indeed PSG is a little different from usually always being aggressive, but in yesterday's match PSG was a little less aggressive.

It should be like that, but who knows what it will be like, at the end of the season because PSG have won the Ligue 1 title, it is also possible that they will play more relaxedly, but today PSG will meet Nice, which is much stronger team than Metz.
I believe Mbappe will play well and show his goodbyes by making big contribution at the end of the season with PSG, but what makes me doubtful is that several times Mbappe also appeared not so significantly and several times he played not according to expectations.
We see what happens with these two matches and if PSG can win them with Mbappe scoring goals in both matches then it clearly warm farewell because after that they won't be together again in the future.

What was interesting was not against Metz but today against Nice, it was not easy and Nice could make it difficult for PSG to win considering that Nice has put pressure on top team several times when they met them.

I agree with you that it is the right choice for him to leave, because he should leave the Francis League for a more competitive league, because Mbappe is a talented player, he should find a place where he will shine even brighter than he is now.

If that happens then Mbappe will go to Real Madrid, a step forward for him to take himself further than now, and be able to compete for trophies, of course the Champions League, and awards for himself.
It would be a good thing if he managed to go to Real Madrid, we know that Real Madrid is a strong and great club, so it wouldn't be wrong if he left PSG and went to Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappe also said goodbye to PSG fans last weekend, when PSG lost 1-3 to Toulouse, the video circulating also stated that he would leave at the end of this season, this was a good decision for him to look for a club that could compete in the Champions League.

However, there are no rumors that are very accurate regarding where Kylian Mbappe will move, the media has linked his name with Real Madrid a lot but there has been no internal discussion between the two, but seeing that Florentino Pérez really wants to bring him there, Real Madrid, so this will definitely happen Florentino Pérez is also building a talented young team at Real Madrid.

That will be a tough task for Luis Enrique and facing next season they must try to get out of Mbappe's shadow. Looking for a replacement is a step that must be taken so that it does not have a big impact on the team in facing the competition next season.

PSG could make a big offer to Mbappe or try to increase his salary even more, but this step will not have a big effect on the club. What PSG needs to do now is try to improve and look for players who really have a clear vision to make PSG become a club to be reckoned with in Europe. The domestic league has made their name difficult to catch and the task they need to do is to conquer the Champions League as the prestige of a big club.

It is not difficult for PSG to find a replacement for Mabppe because the availability of a budget can smooth their steps. But what needs to be studied is about the players you want to buy because they need the right replacement, not just a big name with a big contract offer. If PSG chooses the wrong player then it is feared that next season will not have any impact so that the presence of this player will not have an impact.

Hemm, it's probably and this will be gonna set like this. Mbappe will go to Real Madrid.
Although We heard Ancelotti's statement regarding Mbappe, he didn't want to comment on that, right now he just wants to focus on the club, on Real Madrid, this is a big club and they will soon have a UCL final. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Real Madrid management is ready for Mbappe's arrival. Yes, we just have to wait for his official announcement at Real Madrid. because right now. Mbappe really wants to fight for Real Madrid, especially after PSG was eliminated from the UCL.

PSG seems to have lost their focus and motivation since being eliminated from UCL. However, fortunately the difference in points between PSG and other clubs is high enough that it will not affect his position. It's just that if it continues to happen again, it won't be good for the club's performance results. They lost to a small club and only drew too. So in the next match it will be against Nice and Metz must win it all.

This match between PSG and Toulouse was very important for PSG and losing this match was not good for some players in this team and especially for Mbappe. Because PSG was playing at Parc des Princes for the last time in this season and Mbappe was playing in this stadium for the last time but even in the last game he had, he couldn't win the game and ended with a 3-1 result against a team like Toulouse.
However, Mbappe scored one goal in this match but it was not enough to save PSG in this match.

Kylian Mbappe will be a free agent by the end of this season, precisely by June 1, 2024. There was no contract extension by PSG or anything like that as far as I know.
The only talks right now are a 5 years deal with Real Madrid with a good salary, maybe the highest one for the club. This was reported by Marca, so I assume it is true since it is very close to Real Madrid.

Mbappe would have left PSG to join Real Madrid in the previous season but he was expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent. Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid as a free agent would have made complete sense but PSG did not take the matter lightly and discussed their finances directly with Mbappe and negotiated a contract extension with Mbappe until 2025. 

Since the contract was extended until 2025, Mbappe either has to stay at PSG until 2025 or pay the club a certain amount and then leave the club. Mbappe has agreed to PSG's second condition and is set to join Real Madrid next season after paying the club a certain amount of his transfer fee.

No Real Madrid wants him no matter what because he would be the perfect fit for the team. They played Bellingham as a false "everything". But if they can now get a striker like Mbappe, Bellingham could drop a little bit towards the midfield and still have all the freedom in the world. He would be the perfect player for Real Madrid's game plan. You can see that Bellingham started insanely well with striking qualities, but then his scoring stats dropped significantly and it can't be the solution to depend on a player who is usually not supposed to play as a pure striker. Now think about the situation when Mbappe goes to Madrid. The team would be very close to perfection in terms of the player consistency from offense to defense.

You are right, PSG have succeeded in retaining Kylian Mbappe before, but they must be willing to see him leave next season even though so far he has not announced his new club publicly. Kylian Mbappe is an important player at PSG and he has managed to gain a big name while playing as a striker for PSG. It is clear that Mbappe's departure is a difficult task for Luis Enrique, but he will soon find a suitable replacement for next season.

PSG's strength and dominance in Ligue 1 will not be seriously threatened even if Kylian Mbappe leaves next season. Zlatan Ibrahimović, Edinson Cavani, Ángel Di María, Neymar, Messi and several others have helped the club to success, but the club still managed to dominate Ligue 1 after they were all leave.

But it looks like Lyon will still only be able to finish in seventh place even though indeed, in the last match Lyon will also play at home against Strasbourg but also, Lens will also play at home against Montpellier. Thus, I think Lyon and Lens will have an equally good chance of winning. But indeed, if for example Lyon loses and then Marseille wins, then Marseille will overtake Lyon because after all, although Marseille plays away but the opponent Marseille faces is Le Havre. But indeed, Marseille is also not good when playing away this season so maybe, Marseille will also get difficulties to beat Le Havre later. But at least, I personally still believe in Lyon because after all, Lyon has really managed to improve its performance and quality even though the season is coming to an end.

The defeat to Atlanta certainly made them this season eliminated from the Europa League, but they also have to quickly rise in the league to be able to regain a place in European competition next season and try their luck again to win the European competition trophy, so far Marseille is not the favorite team in the Europa League but in fact they are able to continue to advance to the semifinals this season,  Just like you, I also think if now Marseille must refocus on the league to be able to win two victories in the remaining games, Marseille's performance which is indeed slightly better this season certainly allows them to be able to end the season in the European competition zone, currently Marseille only has a difference of 3 points from Lens in the last zone of European competition so indeed with two games left it is certainly possible for Marseille to get one place.

But I think the three teams will probably be determined by goal difference for who deserves to be at the lowest level of European competition next season, if Marseille, Lyon and Lens win all games of course all three will have the same points which is 53, so inevitably besides having to win of course Marseille must be able to improve their goal difference in the remaining two match later.

I do not think that he is ungrateful? From what I have seen so far he has said nothing but good things and thanked him for his services. Plus, lets not act as if Mbappe did this for the goodness of his heart, he got paid more than anyone in the world outside of Saudi Arabia. That dude left nearly 80 million euro on the table by not extending his contract as well, so that means it was nearly 80 million a year, sure PSG did fine when he was there, but in exchange of 80 million a year (amount of money they do not earn even when they win the league and the cup) so what was expected of him was UCL for that money.

Because only then the team would be in profit, otherwise why would they be fine with paying 80 million euro to a player who would just make a loss for them? They thanked him, and send him on his way, they can win the league without paying him a ton of money.

Enrique is one coach that will be cery important to this psg side and they shouldn’t be worried that Mbappe will be leaving if the coach will be able to continue without him. Well as it stands, Enrique is known to already be scouting players that will replace Kylian and from what you’ll see, he’s not checking for the big names rather the young ones who are willing to win trophies. This os what’s important in the building phase of PSG, getting young lads who are willing to win a thing or two and then that will be able to do the magic.

 Though Mbappe will be going for free and the club might not be benefiting from his departure, I think this doesn’t mean the club won’t be able to do much after his departure because they’re financially buoyant to do a whole lot after he’s left. So i think they cue in to Enrique’s philosophy and be able to build up from there as it will be able to help them in their Chase for European title. ⁠Enrique has been able to succeed with a young squad at Barca and with that in mind, you think he won’t be able to do well at PSG.

 I think they should let him get two or three signings to the club and trust me with a good and consistent performance then they should be cruising to European success in no time. ⁠Mbappe decision to leave is understandable and applaudable as he’s a footballer and needs to achieve greater heights and I think his new club will be ready to welcome him. This is a good time for PSG to rebuild again and even better and I think with Enrique in charge they will do great things.

After failing to advance to the European League final, this did not make Marseille continue to feel sad and they recovered by winning at home with a score of 3-1 when they hosted Lorient. This is a good result as Marseille is still very eager to return to European competition next season.

Currently the difference between Marseille and Lyon and Lens is only 3 points and with 2 matches remaining, I think Marseille still has a chance to do that. Even though it is not a place in the European league, the conference league is still quite worth fighting for for these three teams. Marseille must be more compact and start prioritizing complete teamwork and this is very important for them in welcoming the next season.

Though if Lyon had been more consistent before as they are now they would have actually secure a good position on their table instead of the 7 position they are now but although it was actually good seeing how improved they have become on this previous matches because for their last three matches they have actually obtain 9 points inclusive of their match against Clermont, indeed I really commend on their efforts lately but the problem for them now is that they did not realized themselves more earlier before now because they actually have one match left.

However their only possibility of becoming the 6 position is only if Lens will lose their next match against Montpelier which on a normal sense is not possible because it is obvious that Montpelier is still struggling to manage if they can advance more on the league table but things has not been actually working on their favour and now considering their remaining match they may likely not going to put any pressure because it will not change anything for them even if they managed to win.

There is no point in keeping a player with everything PSG is doing, if the player really intends to leave the club. Moreover, Mbappe's contract ends on 30 June 2024. As you said, the coming and going of players is a common thing in football. Likewise with coaches, or people who are members of club management. So, Mbappe has indeed made up his mind. Moreover, he also wants his dreams to come true. Maybe the choice with Madrid can lead him to the ambition he has always dreamed of. well, I agree with you. Now the task of the PSG sporting director and Enrique is to find an ideal replacement, or reorganize the front line of the PSG squad. after all, they have several players who are capable of developing. Maybe this season, players like Gancalo, Kolo Muani and several other young players haven't really shined. Maybe, next season they will play more established than this season. Or it could also be that PSG brings in the ideal newcomer according to the team's needs.
and I'm quite sure, Enrique will bring in several names that he is targeting for several lines. Paris Saint-Germain might be able to develop further without having to focus on star players of Mbappe's caliber, I mean they can play collectively prioritizing tactics, strategy and teamwork. So, Enrique's task in the transfer market this summer is to bring in the ideal players according to the team's needs. However, at least for Lique 1 PSG is still strong enough for the challenging teams, Enrique's job next season is for the Champions League.

Just like i said before Mbappe has made a lot drama in PSG and this make PSG owner has been upset to his behaviour and because recently Mbappe has made official statement that he will leave PSG with free transfer status then it's time for PSG to move on and indeed it's really hard to find the replacement of Mbappe because admitted or not Mbappe is one of the best players in the world that France currently has but for next season i still believe PSG can performing better even it without Mbappe at Ligue 1 and Champion League and PSG has money and they can bought the player they wants as the replacement of Mbappe and recently PSG has been linked to several names such as Victor Osimhen, Rafael Leao, Marcus Rashford and Liverpool player Luis Diaz and looking forward to see which players will PSG buying as a replacement for Mbappe later

Clermont no longer has the enthusiasm to get up because they feel that they are already quite far behind, even though the clubs above them have also experienced defeats, which means that Clermont is not alone in fighting to get out of the relegation zone and still has the opportunity to improve its performance, but it seems like Clermont has given up. to get these important points, even if the opponent he faces, fellow lower-class club Clermont, does not have the spirit to rise, the season is over for Clermont, even though he still has 1 match left, but that will not be able to save him from the relegation zone, Lorient and Metz still have 1 a match to fight for, let's see which of them will survive the relegation zone later.
