What PSG is doing is quite reasonable in my opinion, the coach knows that now their priority is the Champions League semifinal match against Dortmund so the coach doesn't want to take risks in a match that is not that important.
A draw will not affect anything for PSG because they remain at the top of the standings.
So the reason for doing some player rotation is quite good I think.

It was very smart of the coach to rest some players, all is part of tactics and good qualities of a great coach. The matches in the Ligue 1 are not that important as that of the champions league semifinals because no one can overtake them in the Ligue 1 now and collect what they’ve already earned this season from the league. Champions League is a competition they’ve been fighting for several years now and till date, they haven’t got to have an experience of how it feels to be a winner of the champions league trophy. PSG are also playing great this season like they did in other seasons, let’s wait and see if they can at least make it to the finals before we talk about them winning the Champions League trophy.

In the French League, they may no longer have any challenges with other clubs. PSG will definitely be champions of the French League again this season. However, what is really interesting is at UCL. Yes, that's right, UCL. "Because PSG actually lost to Dortmund in the first leg of the UCL... PSG failed to optimize the chances they had to beat Dortmund, because I think PSG can do it. but sometimes that's not enough.

So here, it is a very big homework for Enrique to map out how PSG will be in the next second leg. Because that is the only chance they have, there is no other word, other than having to win and be ahead by more than 2 goals to win on aggregate.

Of course, Luis Enrique has the most challenging job this season, especially after successfully bringing PSG through to the semi-finals. PSG lost 1-0 to Dortmund in the first leg, but this defeat did not rule out PSG's possibility of qualifying for the final.

In my opinion, PSG also played well in that match, but they failed to take advantage of their goal opportunities perfectly. Dembele doesn't have good finishing when he has chances, and neither do other players. I also noticed that Kylian Mbappe didn't have much influence on the match, that's because Dortmund really managed to keep his movements tight until the end of the match. There is still a second leg, but PSG has to improve a lot.

I am unsure whether your point of view really makes sense. Coaches like Luis Enrique know what they are doing and he has Mbappe and Dembele and many other great players on his team plus unlimited financial resources. Do you think that this guy has the most challenging job? I don't think that is really the case. I am sure that a lot of other coaches would be fine with taking his job and his salary of course. The worst that can happen is to get kicked out in the Champions League now, but he knew that before.

Mbappe was almost out of the game. That was well done by Dortmund's defense, but PSG isn't a consistent team in terms of the distribution of the players' quality. They have a lot of offensive power, but lack stability from the midfield and in the defense.

I believe that Enrique is very relaxed because the worst that can happen to him is to get fired and cash in a huge pay check.

Even Enrique doesn't care and he is playing other players. I feel like that is a mistake at this point because they still have UCL games they need to care about, so not playing Mbappe could be smart for next season but it could also be a terrible thing to do because he may not feel great about the situation and not play that well during the UCL games as well, which could hurt their chances in the end.

It is natural that any coach would make a decision like that, especially since PSG have also officially won Ligue One this season so they have no other reason to continue winning in the remaining matches. I think anyone betting on PSG in the next match better start being careful because they have no other targets in Ligue One and will only focus on the champions league at the end of the season.

Apart from that, of course Luis Enrique will always keep his players fit for important matches and doesn't want failure in the Champions League competition to haunt them every season. Of course PSG is targeting a place in the final and of course it won't be easy for them to get through amidst the high intensity in the Champions League against other teams from other parts of Europe. What is clear now is that PSG must be able to prove the best for the public in the Paris capital and immediately get rid of their bad record.

I agree, betting on PSG seems like not a good idea anymore and I feel like people should try to avoid that as much as they possibly could. There is really nothing that could be benefiting them at the end, we should probably consider the fact that we are going to see them just not caring about the results and just getting ready for the next season.

Even Enrique doesn't care and he is playing other players. I feel like that is a mistake at this point because they still have UCL games they need to care about, so not playing Mbappe could be smart for next season but it could also be a terrible thing to do because he may not feel great about the situation and not play that well during the UCL games as well, which could hurt their chances in the end.

However, PSG did not lose all points, at least PSG still got 1 point in this match, even though PSG did not get the full point, in fact PSG is still the best club in League 1. I understand PSG's less than optimal performance in League 1 even though it is quite clear in terms of player quality. PSG is superior to Le Havre but in my opinion PSG just wants to keep their players fit so PSG just plays more relaxed in League 1 without having to experience a lot of pressure because they have to prepare for the match against Dortmund in the Champions League. And currently PSG has secured the League 1 trophy so it will make PSG even more enthusiastic to focus on the Champions League to get the title too.

Today PSG will travel to Germany to hold an important match, namely the semifinals of the Champions League, PSG will play with enthusiasm but will also experience great pressure because they will visit Dortmund at home. Dortmund is not a club that can be underestimated PSG, a fellow elite club in the league each club has its advantages and disadvantages so we cannot underestimate any club. Dortmund will try hard in the first leg but PSG will try hard to hold Dortmund to a draw rather than suffer defeat, I can't wait for their match tonight.

Over the weekend a lot of thought PSG will be able to grab the win so as to be crowned Champions of the League. Well surprisingly the match ended in a draw and they were able to just get one point off this fixture. ⁠Well even with the draw then PSG is still seen as the best team in ligue 1 and no other team still looks to be able to challenge them. Well I think the draw isn’t a bad result owing that some key players were kept away because of their UCL fixture this week.

⁠PSG know how important it is for the fans of they’re able to get to final of the ucl and as such they are all out to at least be able to reach that dream/target. In the match against Dortmund it won’t be an easy one especially as Dortmund will also want to get to final too and woth the great comeback against Athletico Madrid, you can imagine what PSG are in for.

The pressure will be so much but I think Enrique is better in tactics and he should be able to use the right tactics to help his team get to the finals. The UCL is Europe’s biggest stage and getting to the semifinals is a big feat and as such, no opponent should be underestimated, so I think PSG will take this imto consideration and go with the right tactics to win the match.

Among the top 5 European leagues that exist today, of course, Ligue 1 is the least competitive league, so it is so easy for PSG to dominate the league without competition from other teams at this time, but unfortunately when PSG looks very strong in Ligue 1 at this time but unfortunately they are actually unable to do the same when in the Champions League competition, and it can be seen from their failure so far in Despite Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in their squad, reportedly many big investors are difficult to invest in other teams in Ligue 1 at the moment, I don't know what happened but it seems that every investor who wants to enter is as complicated to take a team as it was when Marseille wanted to be bought by Arab investors but faillure.

So far I think PSG not only control French football, but we can see how PSG seems to get into French politics and it shows when Macrom (French president) interferes with the issue of Mbappe transfer so far, what you say is true, because indeed we would never see competitive competition in the French league if there were no big investors who wanted to take over other teams in France later.

French president Macrom was involved in extending Mbappe's contract when his contract expired several seasons ago and Macrom had a hand in convincing Mbappe to stay for the next two to three seasons at that time. I think Mbappe have been an icon for Frence national team and France president want to make Ligue 1 more popular by giving some special offer and make Mbappe extended contract last several season later. But in this time seems not easy and Mbappe future have been over with PSG, he has announced will leave PSG in this season and I think France president Macrom can't give any offering to make Mbappe extend contract with PSG.

Actually Ligue 1 is not really competitive behind how drastically significant difference financial condition between PSG and other team participants, I think has much money easily for PSG signing many top players every window transfer opening and other team with difficult financial can't sign top players.

It is an easy league without competition for PSG. This league doesn't look attracting for investors much as well so it looks like PSG will continue to dominate it for long years. But if we see another team having a rich owner in the future then maybe the champion would start changing more often. Tongue

For now it isn't possible unless PSG give it away.

When it comes to Mbappe the reason why he stayed this long is money. Nobody knows the exact conditions of his current contract. It is that big. Grin

But from now on I think he will think of making a change more seriously. Because PSG can't win a Champions League title. For a star like him winning that title is really important, to have a bigger career. Real Madrid is the right place for that in my opinion.

maybe if there are investors who will invest their money, they will definitely not take shares in PSG but will prefer to invest in teams other than PSG which have almost the same performance as PSG to be able to get big results in the future to see the change of League 1 title holders.
like Monaco and Stuttgart, they are strong contenders for PSG if there are large investors who provide large funds to these two teams to get higher quality players who can provide an interesting sensation in League 1.
It is indeed very boring to see the current League 1 which is always boring because there is no strong competition to compete with PSG, whereas at the start of last season I remember Monaco and Brest had very good results but unfortunately they couldn't maintain consistency so they had to lose this opportunity.

and regarding Mbappe, of course a star player with very high quality talent will not possibly risk his youth just for money but will certainly also think about his career and experience in big competitions like the UCL which Mbappe must continue to pursue and one of the biggest opportunities is just join the right team like a team from La Liga like Madrid.

If he wants money of course he can go to the Arab league to get more money, he is still young so he needs flying hours and lots of experience by playing in other leagues, I see that he will not continue to develop like we have seen so far in Ligue 1 is completely dominated by PSG, therefore there is no big challenge for Mbappe to be there, he needs new experience playing in Laliga with Real Madrid, of course this will allow him to feel his abilities and at the same time be able to chase the UCL trophy with Madrid in the following season.

I don't know whether PSG will survive and qualify for the UCL final this season and beat Dortmund in the semi-finals, if they succeed, of course this will be the best result that PSG has obtained so far while Mbappe has been at PSG, he hasn't really been able to bring PSG to the final. let alone winning it, it is certain that this will be fought to the last point. PSG will try to play as hard as possible to reach the final and meet Madrid who might be their opponent in the UCL final, I hope PSG will win the UCL title this season of course this will be The sweetest dream for Mbappe and PSG if they succeed in winning the UCL title this season.

PSG dominates Ligue 1 every season, winning trophies with ease. They're the wealthiest team in the league, outspending everyone else. If the league was more competitive, I might be impressed. But with PSG's financial advantage, it's not surprising they win consistently. It's basically become turn into a one-team league.
By the way, it's puzzling why someone like Mbappe wouldn't want to prove himself in a more challenging league. Maybe that's why he's rumored to be joining Real Madrid next season?

The funniest of all is they had prepared to celebrate after the match. They were so confident on winning it that they had benched Mbappe and Ramos, maybe they wanted to rest them for champions league. And so desperate to win that they brought them in after being 2-1 down. The resulting points don't matter much for PSG, it's only that their champagne need to wait in the freezer. The 1 point could be life saving for Le Havre as they struggle to stay on the Ligue 1.

I was not expecting at all to see PSG lose points against Le Havre. Compared to a team like Le Havre, PSG has much better and more expensive players also they are playing in the Champions League and they are in the first place in the table. That's why I was predicting seeing them to win this match but sadly I was not right this time,
Le Havre was lucky this time because of getting this one point against a team like PSG. However, I think PSG was trying to save the potential for the next game they have against Dortmund in the Champions League. Otherwise, they could have a much better performance in this match.

Including me I was shocked to see how inconsistent PSG is on that match because with the excellent performance of PSG on this French league nobody would have believe that they will draw the match against Le Havre and funny enough among all the matches Le Havre has played this is actually the match I have seen them on fire by playing very well and making sure they try all possible best to either win or they draw the match.

Actually with the performance of Le Havre they almost win the match if not that PSG managed to show them that they are also good when it comes to performance however Le Havre score the first goal on the 19 minutes of the first half and PSG later equalize on the 29 minutes and it was not up to 12 minutes Le Havre had already scored another goal making it 2:1 against PSG and they give a penalty against PSG and after scoring the penalty they began to lead PSG 3:1 on the 61 minutes and by that time most people were convinced that PSG is going to lose the match but they later managed to equalize before the end of the game.

So far the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 may have little in common where one team dominates the league too much, in the Bundesliga we see Dortmund being Munich's main competitor so far even though it has not been able to thwart Munich's championship chances due to Dortmund's frequent selling of star players, and in Ligue 1 of course we have Monaco which is like Dortmund so far, Yes, maybe we think the Bundesliga started to change after Leverkusen got up, but I think it's not difference also like in Ligue 1 when a few seasons ago Lille could become champions and break the dominance that has been held by PSG for more than 10 seasons.

When a team like Munich and PSG dominate the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 so far, it is certainly surprising if suddenly there is another underdog team that can actually break their dominance so far, but believe me if the shock will only last one season and in the next season the surprise team will again be a mediocre team that will only struggle at the bottom and middle of the standings.

Competition will always arise with several clubs at the bottom who are able to dominate but in the end they fail to compete due to several factors that occur. If in the previous season there was Monaco in Ligue 1 as a title challenger to PSG, but they could not resist every time a club planned to buy the players they had, thus affecting Monaco's performance in terms of title competition. The opposite happened with Dortmund and exactly the same with Monaco so they failed to compete with Bayern Munich.

Now there is Leverkusen who have succeeded in breaking Bayern Munich's dominance, but unfortunately in Ligue 1 this did not happen. If the challenger club does not change its vision in selling players then I think it will be difficult for them to break the dominance of their opponents who continue to be dominant. So the competition in this competition is not as interesting as in some other leagues because we already know who will dominate and come out as champions.

PSG failing to win Le Havre shouldn't come to you as a surprise because they were at a point that require strategy to navigate through. Understanding that they had already won the French League 1 even though there were still some matches remaining, their main focus was the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund so they had to save their best for that match. On the other hand, Le Havre are also fighting to stay out of relegation so they had to give the match some seriousness that made then took the lead from first half.

PSG were indeed lucky to have gotten a draw because when the match was 1:3 against them and into the 2nd half, everyone thought they had already lost the match. They were able to get 2 goals and made the match a draw and that is something commendable.

⁠Lyon are in top performance especially after the great show they had against Monaco were they were able to get the victory, you wouldn’t want to write them off anytime soon . Well luckily for Marseille they were able to get the Victory over Lens and were able to get all 3 points to at least plant them in a good position to be good for an European spot.

Lyon is having a great second half of the season after being in bottom of the standings for majority of the first half of the season. Beating Monaco is a testament that they are still a big club in Ligue 1. Having a poor season doesn't dispute the fact that they are a capable team to compete in Ligue 1. They need to keep this mentality for next season with some improvements to face next season.

Beating Lens is proving that Lyon has been back to winning mentality. Their improvement in this second half of the season is a big effort shown by the players and the manager. They need to make sure next season they won't repeat what they have experienced this season. This season has provided them a valuable lesson about what and how to improve their performance in various circumstances.

Congratulations to PSG on another win in Ligue 1. However, I hope that in the future there will be a team capable of competing with them. PSG is considered the favorite every season because of their dominance and high level of play. But the French championship is a one-team championship, so it is very boring to watch.

I think most of us will say the same thing, that Ligue 1 is a competition where only one team runs so that the competition is monotonous because there is no competition which makes us more interested in watching Ligue 1. Practically Paris Saint Germain is the only team that are very strong here, so they can easily win the title every season. Even when they are not serious about their matches, they can still become champions. Don't misunderstand when I say they are not serious, because we can see when they were held to a draw by Le Havre this week.

One way we can see the league running competitively is by seeing other teams improve their performance. Maybe they can get big investors to be interested in them and help them financially, so they can do what Paris Saint Ermain can do. Because the difference in their levels is too great in my opinion, there must be something that can make them more enthusiastic so that they can raise their level, at least not much different from Paris Siant Germain.

I was not expecting at all to see PSG lose points against Le Havre. Compared to a team like Le Havre, PSG has much better and more expensive players also they are playing in the Champions League and they are in the first place in the table. That's why I was predicting seeing them to win this match but sadly I was not right this time,
Le Havre was lucky this time because of getting this one point against a team like PSG. However, I think PSG was trying to save the potential for the next game they have against Dortmund in the Champions League. Otherwise, they could have a much better performance in this match.

The draw that Paris Saint Germaine were able to get in their game against Le Havre on Saturday was enough for them to be crowned champions of France but what really caught my attention was how the game was played out. The away team took the lead in the 19th minute of the game but Paris Saint Germaine equalized 10 minutes later but just before the half time mark, Le Havre took the lead again before adding their third goal in the second half. Paris Saint Germaine had to fight from two goals down to equalize in the dying minutes of the game. Such result o don't think is good for a club like Paris Saint Germaine who will play a big game in the UEFA Champions League tomorrow.
Luis Enrique is one manager that I know understands how the UCL works having won it with Barcelona in 2015 so I expect him to have a deep conversation with his men before the game tomorrow at Borussia Dortmund. Because of my love for Kylian Mbappe, I'll want to see Paris Saint Germaine win that particular tie
