A five-point lead is not very safe, especially with the season only having completed half the matches so there are still surprising things that might happen but it's true what you said in Ligue 1 if PSG is already in the lead then it will be difficult for any team to bring them down from the top of the standings because they have more strength than any team in Ligue 1, what can make them fall is when they lose concentration or when they have to divide their focus with other tournaments that are no less important such as the Champions League.
There are four matches in Ligue 1 that they have to play before facing Real Sociedad, and these four matches are quite tough in my opinion, especially when a few days before competing in the Champions League they will face Lillie because in the last two meetings, Lillie was quite troublesome for PSG even though PSG managed to win and draw but they will never take this match easily.
In the Champions League, their journey will never be easy, especially achieving what the club owner hopes for.
PSG on secure top standings position in Ligue 1 because they have 5 points remaining from Nice and seems difficult catch with PSG points, not really difficult for PSG keep their dominance in Ligue 1 although have inconsistent performance but the rival teams performance still not compete yet and they losses many points and failed close their points with PSG. Ligue 1 matches will begin on next months or get postponed more than three weeks later and PSG have getting many days how to get rest before facing Lens on next months.

PSG must improving their performance in Champion League, almost eliminated from group stage although last match get crucial points against Dortmund and success qualify to 16 of round. In Champion League match, PSG will face not really strong team Real Sociedad and seems they will be easily for setting quarter final phase.

Meanwhile, the clubs that were waiting for Mbappe's contract to expire and wanted to buy Mbappe from PSG for free were disappointed. I think Mbappe's decision was wrong, PSG may have offered Mbappe too high a fee.

PSG didn't have the success they wanted. They tried everything to win the Champions League trophy but they failed. Their offensive line is full of quality players, but their defense is not very good and they are always at a disadvantage against big opponents. PSG may have solved the Mbappe problem, but there are still problems in the team defense that need to be solved. It might not be right to put the problem solely on the defense because other players need to help the defense as well.

I wonder what Real Madrid will do about Mbappe's request for a contract extension as they will not want to pay PSG a transfer fee.
I don't know what will happen in the future, but there is too much drama between PSG and Mbappe and of course this is something that is very unfortunate because there will never be certainty and clarity that can be guaranteed.
It just that I believe there is only one team that is close to Mbappe, namely Real Madrid and of course this is the only opportunity for Mbappe to have the UCL title he has wanted for long time.
Besides, what did Mbappe get from PSG? all of this is just an offer that lowers its value and also wastes opportunities and opportunities to be able to have more titles, one of which is the UCL, PSG will never have the opportunity to get the UCL title before they resolve all the problems that occur.

It is possible that in the future, if Real Madrid fails to bring in Mbappe, there will still be Haaland who was previously also interested in Real Madrid, after all, Haaland has much better qualities in terms of playing.
And Haaland also has experience in winning the UCL, he was also one of the best young players last season.

Now let see what will happen to Mbappe and PSG, I sure that kind of drama will actually be detrimental to them, including Mbappe himself.

I think there biggest problem can be nailed down quite simply, it is their defense! Last season they had a much better defense. In terms of the number of goals scored Lorient is still doing ok and they are better than many of the other teams from the lower half of the table, but they have the worst defense in Ligue 1. It's crazy how many games they lose despite scoring goals themselves. They conceded 4 goals against Marseille at home while they scored 2 goals themselves. Or they played 3-3 against Olympique Lyon. They know how to score, but they have problems to defend.

Lorient's defense was not good last season either. In 38 matches they scored 52 goals and conceded 53 goals. However, their defense is even worse this season than in the previous season. They have already admitted 35. If the defense does not improve, the Lorient team will not be able to get out of the relegation zone. I have no complaints about Lorient's attack. If the defense improves, I think their attacking players will be able to perform better.

The Lyon team was in the relegation zone for a long time. They have managed to climb out of the relegation zone by winning their last three matches. Lyon are now 15th in the table with 16 points from 17 matches. Lorient can also stay out of the relegation zone if they can win a few matches in a row.

I never said it was good last season although I disagree with you because you put it as if Lorient was bad, but bad compared to what? It is like calling out any weak team from any league for having a bad defense. They are just small teams with very low budgets, so I prefer to judge a defense in relation to the possibilities a team has. From that point of view Lorient was doing ok last season. Monaco is third in the table and conceded 22 goals. In my opinion that makes their defense pretty bad. But conceding 35 goals in 17 games is too hard for any team to deal with and that is why it is bad. If they kept going at this level, they would end up with almost 80 goals conceded by the end of the season, which would be far worse than last season.

I still don't believe Lorient will continue to slump in the relegation zone and the previous heavy defeat against Brest continues to worsen their position. Lorient can only collect 12 points in 2023 and from 17 matches they have 2 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats. This is in contrast to the quality of their performance last season, which managed to appear quite consistent and finish in the top 10 of the standings. I don't know whether they can survive this season or not. It is clear that competition will continue to increase to be free from the relegation zone. However, it is clear that Lorient must be able to recover and be able to emulate what Lyon has done by successfully getting out of the relegation zone since the start of this season.
I didn't expect Lorient to be in the relegation zone this season. We saw quite a good performance from Lorient in the previous season as well. But from the beginning of this season, their performance started to decline. Out of 17 matches, the team won only two matches. And yet their performance is very erratic. The poor performance of the defenders is the reason why Lorient is in such a bad situation. Lorient conceded 35 goals in 17 matches. But there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play 19 matches and Lorient still has a chance to come out of the relegation zone. If Lorient can tighten up their defense then I think the team can get out of the relegation zone. Because their attack is not weak.

I am also surprised by Lorient's poor performance this season. Even though they didn't perform well last season, at least they were able to reach the top 10 in the league. They ended last season with 15 wins. That is still very good when compared to this season, which has only won 2 wins from 17 matches. I agree with you that what Lorient must focus on this season is how to keep them safe from the relegation zone. Lyon has started to show good performance and is out of the relegation zone. I hope a good end to the season for Lorient too.

It's not even surprising me by seeing that if brest was the opponent from lorient in the previous match. It means if lorient has no chance to win against it. Im only saying it caused by brest was fully dominating the match without giving lorient chance to do counter attack.
Lorient is only making 3 goal attempts and squandering all the chances for nothing. Lorient and Clermont are essentially similar in terms of their performance, and it is highly likely that both of these clubs will face relegation due to the lack of improvements.
Either of them has made good improvement. This is really bad for them to be relegated soon.

Passing week 17, Paris Saint Germain can be at the top of the standings comfortably, being 5 points above Nice, the club closest to them. with a 5-point advantage in Ligue 1 it will be very difficult to catch up, especially those who have that advantage are Paris Saint Germain who are the strongest club in Ligue 1.
I think they will be able to continue to be comfortable there. Their focus is on the Champions League, because in the last few seasons the Champions League has been their main goal. But in Ligue 1 itself for them it is easy, because there is no club that can really rival them at this time.  Nice, who were good at the start of the season, have in fact declined and are now below them.

The Nice team was able to continue their excellent performance for a long time. But I was sure they couldn't compete with PSG. The main reason for this is the weakness of Nice's attack. Nice team is still second in the table only because of their strong defense. In 17 matches, Nice's players managed to score only 19 goals.

For this year's Ligue 1 title, I consider PSG's main opponent to be Monaco. This group is quite strong. Even then, Monaco is 7 points behind PSG. It seems that PSG can easily win the title this season. PSG boys played well in every match. PSG had a great 3-0 win against Metz.

Because after all, basically PSG really doesn't want to let Mbappe leave because after all, with PSG continuing to make great efforts to maintain Mbappe by increasing salaries and other bonuses. So clearly, with this factor also being proof, that PSG will never be willing to let Mbappe leave for another team.

I think at the moment Madrid's top priority is to buy defenders. Alaba's injury will be very long, maybe next season he will only be in the strengthening stage. So the best alternative is to buy a central defender.
While Mbappe may not be a top priority because the price will definitely be expensive. In addition, it is possible that Madrid will comply with FFP. So they probably won't spend expensive players.

Lyon have positive result match in this week with three points result against Nantes success got three consecutives matches, started from defeated Toulouse, AS Monaco and Nantes make Lyon out from relegation zone right now with two points remaining from Toulouse as the latest team playoff relegation standings. Its good started for Lyon success get three winning match in a row and they will focus on upcoming match will defend their winning trend against Le Havre? Right now, Lyon take focus how to make many points left from relegation playoff standings teams without have pressure must be raise to Europe League standings spot. Less possibility with many points remaining from spot of Europe League standings I think Lyon have consistent improving their performance.
Lyon has recovered massively after so many series of poor performances; they have now won three matches in a row which has helped the team to go out of the relegation zone, I am happy for them because they deserve to be in the mid table and not in the bottom of the table.
Lacazette after recovering from injury is now picking form and will help the team to move up because he was the goal scorer in their last match; and with the effort almost all the players have putting in the team I believe they will win more matches to at least try qualifying for either Europa League or Conference League.

If they really recovered from the bad situation they had before, Lyon could still have a good chance to get in the good form and save the team from the danger zone because there was a high chance for Lyon to lose the French League 1 because of the points they lost.
Lyon lost the game against teams while we were expecting Lyon to win the game.
However, I think just having good performance in some games is not a good reason and we should wait to see if they can continue or not.

Nice dont have capacity of what what Lille had when they won the league, because the probability of the club maintaining good performances is low. This implies that Nice, like other random mediocre clubs, may struggle to sustain a competitive form against PSG. The central focus on PSG's exceptional form throughout the season with the managerial prowess of Luis Enrique reinforces the idea that they are a class apart.

The perception that PSG dominating in Ligue 1 is unparalleled that makes Nice and other clubs being downplayed threats. This means any team will difficult to stand out as a real contender for the league title. PSG is just an undisputed frontrunner in Ligue 1 with barely no threat to have. Enrique ensures his team does not hold back, even when they face average clubs, and that PSG consistently capitalizes on their chances.
Nice or Monaco, of course they are not as strong as PSG this season so there is no open door for other teams to win the title in the hands of PSG. In Week 17 of Ligue 1 this season, all the teams ranked in the top 4 were able to secure the matches they played by winning so there was no change in their position this week. PSG won today match with a score of 3-1 and Mbappe recorded two goals in today match.

PSG is 5 points ahead of the Nice team and 7 points ahead of Monaco. The distance of 5 points may not be too far but I think Nice will find it difficult to reduce the gap because PSG has returned to winning ways and it is difficult to expect them to lose in the upcoming match. The second half of my season there will be no changes that occur in ligue 1 because psg will definitely continue to be at the top because luis enrique is increasingly finding the best form in formulating better strategies and is able to improve mbappe performance again of course that is a good record in closing This year.

Yeah Lyon has been of there best performance lately especially the few matches they have played recently they have made quite a good performance, I actually like there performance over Nantes especially when they were issued the red card but they were able to maintain and defend there goal but although I think they are very lucky that they got the red card on there  84 minutes when the match was closed to the ending because if they had received the red card during there early minutes of the match Nantes would have surely use the opportunity to outperform them and win the match.

Nice is a contender for the Ligue One title but that doesn't portrayed any threat, they're just enlisted as any othe random mediocre club in Ligue One this season. It's almost the end of the year and there's strong probability of these clubs keeping to stellar performance. There's no club that can stand in the same ring to challenge Paris Saint Germain for the league title this season. It's really tough for these clubs to stand out to face energy with PSG who's on fire this season. Luis Enrique always makes sure he's team doesn't hold back when they face average clubs and they always make good use of their chance.

Those 9 points were vital to say the least for Olympique Lyon and it is interesting so see how many of these teams that struggled early in the beginning of the season did make changes happen and are now back into business. For Olympique Lyon the way is still very long until they can consider themselves safe, but they pull through and get closer to the first half of the Ligue 1 teams? So far there isn't much to play for for them, but Ajax Amsterdam in the Eredivisie has also connected with the top again after this disastrous start.

During this match, Metz got nearly no chance and they had no control in the game especially in the second half when Mbappe scored two goals for PSG.
I think in the second half Enrique understood how they have to score goals and that's why PSG could win the game with a 3-1 result.
However, beating a team like Metz is not something very important for PSG.

Metz is in 14th position in the standings while PSG is at the top in terms of player quality composition, Metz is far behind PSG, so from the start it was impossible for Metz to win against PSG. The thing I like about the strategy used by Enrique is that he lets Mbappe be the sole attacker, this makes Mbappe more free to score goals. Mbappe is getting stronger at the top of the top scorers with a total of goals so far reaching 18 and second place is Ben Yedder (Monaco)

What we hoped for them finally happened, they got back up and won. Automatically, three consecutive wins lifted their position from the bottom of the standings, a place they absolutely cannot visit again in the following weeks. The realistic target is to stay away from the degradation zone, hopefully these three matches are a sign that they have created a turning point in their performance.

The players self confidence has increased, this needs to be maintained as capital in the next match against Le Havre. I think Lyon should still make a move in the January transfer window, in an effort to add depth to the squad and give them some good options in player rotation. Returning to the beginning, if the match against La Havre is won, Lyon will move up to mid table.
