You have stated the facts about PSG and I admit it. Every season all the teams in Ligue 1 continue to try to stop PSG's dominance in winning the title, but this plan is ultimately very difficult because the PSG squad is really good at being consistent with its performance. They are able to maintain their chances of winning the title, even if there are one or two teams that compete closely in the middle of the season.

PSG is good in Ligue 1, that's a fact. However, in essence, PSG really experienced failure in the Champions League, which they have not won until this season. PSG's main focus is of course on winning any title, but the Champions League title is always their main hunting target every season.

Luis Enrique is still looking at the match seriously, but he is trying to make rotations and changes in strategy so that a number of his players can be fit for the match in the Champions League. After all, they were only facing a team that wasn't very strong so Luis Enrique tried several changes to ensure his players didn't have any problems. The draw against Clermont also did not affect PSG's standings so they tried to play more relaxed.

Comparing Ronaldo with Mbappe is completely incorrect because they have different opportunities. Ronaldo has achieved everything at the club he has played for, while Mbappe has not achieved what Ronaldo has achieved. It is difficult for Mbappe to achieve an individual career beyond what Ronaldo has achieved and even though he is moving to Real Madrid next season.

Luis enrique did that on purpose and didn't seem to care about the result of the match against Clermont, he deliberately did it so that his game was not easily read by Barcelona when he was going to compete with him, several players were kept in order to qualify for the semi-finals in the champions league, maybe you can say the goal is to outwit Xavi so as not to be too confident if PSG's last game before meeting them.

But in my opinion Mbappe will find it very difficult to get the Champion league title if he is with the current PSG considering that PSG, although dominating in the French league 1, cannot be compared with other big teams such as the EPL and league league which is much more profitable for Mbappe if he can join and become a striker to make history in his career as a footballer, it will also be very difficult to catch up with his idol Ronaldo.

You know Brest is a team that has been constantly surprising me this season. They are on the second position right now and they are playing pretty consistently.

If I talk about the last match they played against Metz it was an interesting one. Brest looked to be the better team hands-down in this match. But that was expected because they were going up against a team that is right now in the relegation zone. Though Metz is in the relegation zone but you can't ignore them, they scored the first goal within 6 minutes of the match start. A team like Brest trailed after only 6 minutes, in their home ground can you imagine that?

Yes, at the end of the match, they actually made some mistakes defensively and given the chance to their opponent to score two goals that they could have prevented. But they were able to make sure that they got the most important three-point.

So, these 3 points gave them a little advantage against Monaco & Lille. right now they are one point ahead of Monaco which is in the third position. It is going to be a competition between these two as I don't think anyone is going to be a competition for PSG.

To be honest, there are always doubts when I look at Paris Saint Germain, I don't mean to belittle them, but every time they are in the Champions League, I don't think they are fully ready to compete in the Champions League, especially when they rely on certain players, in this case Mbappe. If Mbappe's movement can be stopped by Barcelona, then they won't be able to do much in the game, because Mbappe seems to be the life of Paris Saint Germain's game.
Meanwhile, the opponent they will face is Barcelona, who play more collectively as a team. Even though their chances can be considered equal, these 2 matches will be very difficult, especially if they cannot win the match in their first leg. If they can win, then it will make it a little easier for them, and if they lose or draw it will make it even more difficult for them.
Paris Saint Germain has always placed the Champions League as their main target, but so far they have failed.

a belief when yesterday I was too busy with my work and forgot about a profitable match and when I came home from work with confidence I bet without using predictions to choose Lyon to win with odds that were quite profitable for me and just with confidence I bet in the 30+th minute.
I admit that in the first half Nantes dominated the match and was ahead by 1 score but when I saw the match Lyon was actually just testing the strength of Nantes performance and after that it was proven by my thoughts that in the second half Lyon responded with a landslide score without giving Nantes any mercy.
Lacazette, one of Lyon mainstays, currently managed to score the first score which was able to give a signal to bettors to immediately place bets on Lyon victory.

Lyon current improvement is impressive and worthy of praise after a poor start to the season but the end of the season will see them finishing in the best places.

Against Barcelona in the quarter-finals is not an easy thing for PSG, they know that Barcelona's performance is also quite difficult to predict, even though currently Barcelona's performance is not completely stable but is slowly starting to improve, but if their opponent PSG Barcelona feels a little safe that might be a big obstacle for Barcelona is when the players have to focus on Mbappe's speed and it looks like Barcelona is just having difficulty facing PSG's fast attacking players but Barcelona has a pretty strong defense and might make it difficult for PSG to score goals.
To be honest, these two clubs seem to have equal performance and it is quite difficult to determine who will make it through to the semifinals.
For league 1 dominance, it is clear that PSG will always be first unless there is a club that is able to provide a surprise, such as Leverkusen, which provided a surprise in the Bundesliga in breaking Bayern's dominance.

Enrique can focus on their biggest ambition to win Champions League with the fact that they are leading with a big gap in the league. Their dominance in Ligue Un will allow them to relax a bit in the league games for a while. Their reliance on Mbappe can be just maximize in just Champions League games because, in Ligue Un, they can use the squad depth to secure the league trophy.

Barcelona have no reliance on certain players, but their collective effort could not be at their best if one or two of their regular starter are not available. Their defense is not the best at the moment that make it vulnerable if they have to face the main front line of PSG. Therefore I don't think it would be 50/50 chance for the game, the individuals brilliance give an edge for PSG. The tactics and strategies of the coaches will take a big role on who will win the game. 

Enrique understands how much the Champions League trophy means to them so far, so Enrique will not try to risk their chances of getting the Champions League trophy only for the Ligue 1 championship which is now in their hands, which is why they kept almost all of their main players when facing Clermont in week 28 yesterday, because Enrique is aware that if he drops PSG's main players then maybe they will get into trouble with Player injuries and fatigue that may be obtained by players towards the match against Barcelona in the Champions League is played.

What Enrique has done is of course right because after all the main focus of every season is to win the Champions League, while for Ligue 1 of course there will be no team that is currently really able to break PSG's dominance in winning trophies, what you say is true, currently PSG who rely on Mbappe is certainly no different from Barcelona who rely on Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski on the front line,  currently the chances of both teams to win the game in my opinion are 50/50, because indeed the quality of the two teams is quite balanced and maybe the strategy and tactics of the two coaches will be a winning factor for one of the teams between Barcelona and PSG.

Luis Enrique without doubt was trying to save some of the club's best players for their encounter against Barcelona this week in the UEFA Champions League competition but even with the team ge started the game, beating an average team like Clermont shouldn't be a big deal to Luis Enrique and his men. Paris Saint Germaine even with their reserve team possesses a bigger threat to most teams in the league than Clermont's first VI.
The club's best player Kylian Mbappe will leave the club at the end of the current season but wants to make sure he wins as many trophies as possible which the French league title is definitely one of them. Paris Saint Germaine will face Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League competition this week at Parc des Princes and I expect the home team to get the better of their Spanish counterparts. Luis Enrique''s men must put outside what happened in their game against Clermont to put up their best when they face the Spanish champions

PSG, who will meet Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals, will of course still have the same motivation, namely the motivation to win so they can advance to the semi-finals. However, this will certainly not be easy for PSG, because the Champions League is a league that is very different from any other competition and this is of course recognized by every team that plays there. As for League 1, I think PSG will still remain the same as their dominance forever if the other teams here don't experience significant changes in their performance.

That makes sense, Luis Enrique is saving his squad energy for the Champions League games, which I think is their main priority this season. Their position is safe in Ligue 1, you need to be careful if you want to bet on their matches, because they will not force the best results to strengthen their position at the top of the standings. PSG remaining matches in the future are also fairly easy, because as we can see, no team can beat PSG and put serious pressure on them, unless they have great luck.

Regarding the PSG versus Barcelona match, it will be an even match for both teams, where in my opinion neither team seems to dominate each other more. In terms of depth, PSG squad is more even, but Barcelona has better experience. Like the match between Manchester City versus Real Madrid, the match between PSG versus Barcelona is actually also difficult to predict. However, Luis Enrique presence could be a difference on the pitch, because he understands Barcelona well, which will provide an advantage for PSG.

Brest vs Metz is really predictable because finally Brest can win this match but a bit surprised to see Metz performance because they can scores 3 goals and almost be equalized the scores but luckily Brest can able to managed their performance until the match ended and although it's hard but finally Brest can beat Metz and indeed Brest this season has been change because in Ligue 1 they were very strong even since November last year Brest only lost once and these results too makes them can able to gets runner up place under PSG

Next weekend Brest will playing at Lyon home ground and this is not easy match for Brest because although if we see from head to head statistics Brest is slighly better than Lyon but they shouldn't be underestimate Lyon because the performance of Lyon is really impressive recently and last week they has just win from Nantes and total in all competitions Lyon has through an 10 matches and gets 7 wins and only lost once so for me these records is really impressive and i think certainly Lyon potentially will make Brest get in trouble even there is a chance for Lyon to beat them

Players can have disagreements with their managers, that is not being rude, he just wants to win.
However, that doesn't mean I support Mbappe or fan of him neither, his style of negotiation that is up until the very last moment is a tactic that hurts his team. If he just came out and said that he won't resign, that would have been better for PSG, but he did not and that is why there are all these troubles. Nobody is against him leaving, it's his life and he can decide to do whatever he wants, but at least be upfront about it and not be sneaky.

In the end, we are going to end up with Mbappe leaving, and all these locker room drama that PSG has will be gone, so there is no need to keep worrying about what Mbappe did or does anymore, it is ending very soon.

The match was quite fierce and had to be colored by the 2 winning cards won by each club. Monaco succeeded in winning after they were able to score the only goal in this match which they created in the 24th minute. Both clubs actually created a lot of opportunities, but there was only 1 goal in this match, it looks like they were trading attacks which made the game interesting. .

This result allows Monaco to maintain their position in 3rd place in the standings and has a difference of 3 points from the club below them, LOSC. Meanwhile for Rennes, this defeat meant they were unable to improve their position in the standings and had to be stuck in 9th place in the standings. And also this defeat was their second defeat in a row in the last 2 matches they played. The competition for Champions League spots is still quite interesting and that can change at any time, especially if clubs receive a lot of negative results.

Monaco's match against Rennes was marked by red cards for each team and even though they had difficulty dealing with pressure from Rennes, Monaco managed to maintain a narrow 1-0 lead until the match was over. To be honest, I didn't expect that both teams played quite hard in this match, but here Monaco must secure full points if they don't want their place in the top four to be replaced by another team.

On the other hand, Rennes, who appeared very determined, also wanted to secure points so they could get closer to Lens, but unfortunately they failed to do so even though they were behind at first. Statistically, both teams have a fairly balanced record, it's just that Monaco was a little lucky this time. In the next match, Rennes must win again because Lyon has started to trail them after successfully beating Nantes this week.

Paris Saint-Germain is only one step away from retaining the Ligue 1 title, 10 points ahead of the team below with 6 matches remaining, it seems that it will be difficult for any team to stop it. at the very least, Enrique succeeded in bringing his team to defend the title for Paris Saint-Germain. Now, Enrique just needs to strengthen his team and prepare for their match in the Champions League against Barcelona.

As for Mbappe, before he actually leaves Paris Saint-Germain, he still has the task of bringing the club, its team and its supporters to achieve what the club hopes for. even though it will be difficult in the Champions League, Enrique and his team will try and do their best for their squad. the mission to overthrow Barcelona is not easy, even though Barcelona is currently unstable. but what is certain is that Mbappe and his colleagues will do their job well to achieve maximum results. well, let's just follow how Paris Saint-Germain plays the match. For Ligue 1, PSG is a team whose dominance is difficult to break.

PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is truly enormous. No other team is able to pose a threat to them. This is not the same as Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Even though they are able to maintain a distance of 16 points from second place and have an unbeaten record this season, their dominance can still be measured and achieved by other teams. No one thinks Leverkusen is a team with a player capacity that other teams cannot beat. You all know what that means. I personally think Leverkusen can still be beaten, but I never thought another team could beat PSG in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

Yes, I also think that even though Mbappe will no longer play at PSG next season, he is definitely motivated to win the Champions League. At least Mbappe will continue to give the best for PSG.

PSG, has created a particular dominance in the Ligue 1 such that they don't even have to be bothered about been threatened by other teams in the league because they not only established their dominance but has also have a better depth and strength than most other teams in their league, the strength of other teams are usually really weak and so they don't even try to challenge because they don't have what it takes to contend PSG.

PSG will most definitely continue to establish this dominance because they have got the consistency that has helped them get to the point where they are presently, the champions league is PSG's most desired league they have want to win over the years and that has been their most targeted league and most of their transfer and preparations they do is to that effect because they always believe they will get to qualify for the champions league almost every season. Of PSG is able to get to the finals of the champions league this season i think for them they have even achieved a whole lot.

The Ligue 1 is something PSH almost have little to no challenge winning most times every season and so it's very crucial for them to win the champions league as that will give them more satisfaction and even their coach will be more fulfilled if he's able to win the champions league for PSG and then even the management of PSG will be very confidence in him than they have every been.

Even though they lost, I think Metz's game did not disappoint in this match, because they put up very fierce resistance to Brest, whose quality actually has a very big difference in performance. Metz was able to score first, but it wasn't long before Brest responded by scoring an equalizer. With the quality that Brest has, they were able to turn the situation around to a score of 4-1. However, Metz didn't just give up and they tried to respond and managed to score 2 goals. But unfortunately the goal was not enough to get them points.

This result means that Brest managed to maintain their position in the standings and are still in second place. Meanwhile, for Metz, this result was bad for them because they were unable to get any closer to their position in the safe zone.

Once again, Metz's game in this match did not disappoint, although in the end they had to get a disappointing result because they were unable to get 1 point in Week 28.
