PSG played pretty confidently in this match and the player that is going to leave the club at the end of the season, the best player of PSG, mbappe, has scored the only goal of the match. I am starting to think about what will happen to PSG after he leaves.

Anyway, this was the semi-final of the French Cup. And by winning this match PSG is going to play in the final of the French Cup. They will play the match against Lyon. Remember Lyon has not performed very well in this season. Even though they are improving right now, they are still at the middle of the table. So I think it is not going to be a problem for PSG to win the final as well

Based on the odds available at the moment, at least Lens is the favorite to win in this match because of course, the difference in their position in the standings is also a factor that Lens has a better chance of winning. Also, at least Lens is still competing with Nice to be able to finish in fifth position and of course, finishing in fifth position is better because it will get a Europa League ticket. Therefore, because Lens will also play at home, of course Lens will maximize this home match to beat Le Havre. Because after all, in the first meeting this season also Le Havre managed to hold Lens to a draw but yes, because considering about the situation that happened at this moment, then I'm sure Lens will really be able to beat Le Have.

PSG will face Lyon in the French Cup final after victory over Rennes in semifinal round and great chance for Kylian Mbappe for getting treble in this season before leaving PSG after his contract expiring. For French Cup is one step closer to get trophy and seems not difficult for defeating Lyon as opponent team in the final, in domestic league PSG has 12 points remaining from Brest with 7 matches left, just need three winning matches later for securing Ligue 1 tittle.
Just facing problem in Champion League quarter final match, how possibility for PSG can defeat Barcelona and qualifying to semifinal until final round, actually I doubt with PSG will get winning Champion League tittle behind has Manchester City or Real Madrid are favorite team become the winner.

They will play as hosts and they will face teams at the bottom of the table too, so they should be able to win this match. They really need a win because they also need to get 3 points to improve their position, especially with a difference of 1 point from Nice who are above them, which makes it a big opportunity for Lens to improve their position in the standings.

The 2 defeats they received in the previous 2 matches, forced them to shift and are now in 6th position. They must be able to make up for their 2 defeats by winning this match. Moreover, the opportunity came and was quite big, with the opponents they would face no better than them. If they have to fail in this game, then I don't think they can get it.

Coaches must prepare everything so that it can run well, because after all their opportunity to be in the European competition zone is still quite wide open, provided that they cannot lose too many points.

I think Mbappe still has good chances of winning treble this season before leaving PSG next season, from their point in the league they are sure of winning the league trophy and having qualified to the cup finals they have chances of winning the cup match as they have better quality players against their opponent. PSG still has another chance in the Champions League which will be their biggest achievement if they have the opportunity of winning it and having some players who have experienced Champions League matches they are likely going to win the finals if they scale through the quarter finals and semi finals. Mbappe being the player every one will be looking up to since he's playing his last season with PSG, he will perform his best to see his team get all the trophies especially the UCL.

In fact, Lens played quite well in those two matches, but unfortunately their readiness cannot be measured with certainty when they were unable to dominate the match. Losing and winning are normal things in football but this should not be continued and will have a bad impact on the team's performance. Maybe Lens should devise a new strategy when facing an equally strong opponent so that he doesn't always lose.

If we look at Lens' remaining match schedule this season, there are not so many strong teams available, only maybe Marseille and Rennes will be tough opponents for them. Moreover, these two teams are eyeing Lens' place at the moment, so the rest of them must be able to anticipate bad things in the match and not lose so easily to this team. Apart from that, they must maximize their full focus on gaining points from weak teams.

The last two matches has not been good for Lens because they lose the both matches against Lille and also Nice which has made them to drop point but hopefully there next match against Le Havre will be a good advantage for them to improve on there points so I believe there three points is certain for them. Furthermore there upcoming matches may likely boost them up on the table because almost all there remaining matches will be against those clubs that are very close to the bottom of the table, so there is every chance for Lens to improve on the table very soon.

Lens have a great chance to be able to maintain their current position of 6th position in the Ligue 1 standings, because as you said if most likely Lens will be able to win over Le Havre later, because apart from Lens in good enough form in the league , of course Le Havre has not been able to find its best game to date in the league,  le Havre is struggling to stay away from the relegation zone, because currently they are only 1 point away from Lorient who are in the relegation zone, while Lens of course their chances of staying away from Marseille are also wide open because in other matches Marseille will face a difficult match against Lille.

The match in my opinion will still be fierce regardless of the position of the two teams who are currently opposite in the standings, at this time Lens is of course favored to win but they also should not underestimate Le Havre in the match, because currently Le Havre who are fighting away from the relegation zone will of course motivate them to also win against Lens and when both teams continue to chase 3 points it will make The match will be a very fierce match in my opinion.

It is possible that Mbappe will get two, not three, titles. Ligue 1 and Cupe De France. The UCL is not a trophy that Mbappe will get, if he wants to win the UCL, he has to move from PSG.
Before facing one of the four teams in the semifinals, PSG must overcome the challenge against Barcelona. Barcelona is indeed unstable, but in the Champions League facing PSG it is not certain that they will submit to PSG.

During their last match against Marseille, PSG managed to score two goals after one of the key players was eliminated with a red card. This was an indication of PSG's prowess and strength as the strongest team in the French league (and European league as well).
In its semi-final match with Rennes, it is natural to expect that PSG will win with a wide score if we consider that Rennes is not as efficient as Marseille, which lost by two goals, even though PSG completed the match with an incomplete squad. But it was a surprise, as PSG was able to win and qualify, but by one goal and no more. Although PSG's possession of the ball exceeded 70 percent, it was unable to reach Rennes' goal easily.

Mbappe has a chance to finish his career at PSG with a treble. I am not saying that is what he will do, most likely he will finish with a double, but they are not out of UCL yet, so a chance is there. Bayern is having one of their worst years, and City will face Madrid, so one of them will be out, if City wins then they will be tired and if Madrid wins they lack a striker.

So, all things pointing that it is the best year to do it, plus PSG got rid of Messi and Neymar, with their big salaries, and got so many great young players who may contribute even more, at least they are not constantly injured. Once again, this part is important so I am emphasizing it, I am not saying PSG will win UCL, but just saying there is a possibility.

The competition for this is still very fierce even though Lens have lost 2 matches in a row, but their rivals OGC Nice have also not been able to perform optimally in the last few matches so that Lens is only 1 point behind Nice, making it possible for the competition to be very open for both teams.

Lens will face a bottom team in the next match and it shouldn't be difficult for them but their declining performance in the last 2 matches makes this match difficult to predict and makes anything possible happen.
Lens are quite good in terms of strength, the same as last season, only since the start of the season their problem has been their inability to maintain consistency and this has not been able to be fixed until now.

PSG is very good this season but just like you said that they joke over most of their matches and if you watch most of their matches always end with little goal difference and goal margin but what is more important in a match is sealing the win as that is the product of every hard work a team puts in a match. Rennes is a very weak team that can't stand PSG at all that was why PSG gave them a lead in the first half till the final whistle of the match was blown but however, PSG needs to be scoring more goals in their matches at least two goals difference will be good because imagine them struggling to win when their opponents equalizes their goal so that is why winning with high goal difference is important. Lyon can't stand a chance over PSG in the finals of the Coupe de France so all what you're saying is mere assumptions that will not come to reality.

Kylian Mbappe continues in his awesome display for PSG regardless of missing a penalty in the game against Rennes but he was still able to score in the 40th minutes just about 3 minutes after he missed the penalty as he is counting down to his exit from the club by the end of the season and PSG is surely gonna miss him due to his high impact to the team during his stay.

French Ligue is having just one team which is competitive and strong for with things were never been good for the rest of league teams to stay at the solid level because usually teams are having uncertainty and lack of funds which prevent them from having quality players and give their best even in last few seasons we have good performance from the Monaco and Marseille but in this season we are having lack of quality from them as well currently Marseille is struggling for having fourth spot and Monaco is having good chance for staying at the top three.

Consistency is the biggest problem which needs good players but sadly no club after PSG able to secure services of quality players which is surely giving them serious setbacks, and we have only PSG which is leading from the front in this farming league.

The previous two matches without a win made Lens' position even more threatened and they had to fight harder to secure a place in European competition next season. However, this is not an easy matter because there are three teams who want to immediately shift them from that position and Lens this week must really win again and make a good trend before the season ends.

Luckily, Lens will not face difficult opponents this week and they will face a bottom team, namely Le Havre. This should not be a serious obstacle for Lens to be able to score 3 points and at the same time widen the point difference between the three teams below them. I hope to see Lens can do that and it would be a great achievement if they could get another ticket to the Champions League rather than other European competitions.

Kylian is one key player at this psg side and you can’t just deny how much of importance he’s got to this PSG side. He’s one very major player and his goal contributions most times have been the deal for PSG this season and other seasons. PSG are already winners of the league and you can see how hard he’s worked and contributed immensely to their league success this season as the numbers can speak for itself. In the league the club is cruising so high and they seem unstoppable but yet still they haven’t been able to achieve their main goal which is to win the UCL.

 ⁠The have made quite some  great signings but still find it difficult in getting UCL success and now they’re about to lose the only key player they’ve got left and you now begin to imagine how they’ll be able to cope and achieve their UCL hopes. Well if the club will be able to quickly get a very good replacement fr Kylian then I think they’ll try to do well because without that I don’t think there’s anyway they can be a force to reckon with.

 Yes they hace good players but the ucl is one competition that doesn’t just require good players but also outstanding players that have stood the thirst of time. Well I just wish they’ll be ready for their new phase next season because sincerely playing without Kylian won’t be an easy one.

From the history indeed yes Marseille can be considered as big teams in Ligue 1 and before this season they even regularly can able to playing at Champion league and finish at runner up place several times just like they did on season 2021/2022 and i have to says in the last several season Marseille can able to compete with PSG for race title but indeed this season is very different because when the management hire Genarro Gattuso as the replacement of Marcelino who sacked at the beginning of season they did a big mistakes because under Gattuso Marseille performance is compeletely messed up

Jean-Louis Gasset also cannot bringing significant progress for Marseille performance because recently Marseille has suffering 2 losing streak at Ligue 1 and the latest is they were lost from PSG and i know Marseille still playing at Europa League but their chances to gets the trophy from that competition is very small and probably they will be eliminated by Benfica and i think Marseille should be forget their target to achieve champion league zone because with only 7 matches remaining and 10 points below to Monaco i think their chances to finish at top 3 is very thin

It is difficult indeed for Marseille after their 3 consecutive wins in the last 2 weeks, they actually have to swallow another defeat that is not too desirable considering their current position they have to try to be in the standings better but with the performance they are showing at the moment I think it is clearly a little disturbing for Marseille especially they should currently be able to try more because the Champions League slot for Ligue 1 has increased by 1 at this time.

But it is a little difficult with their current conditions where consistency is always a problem for them and their targets seem to be branched because they are still in the Europa League, making them even bother to determine which goal they should take.

Currently, the Europa League for Marseille is quite surprising because they managed to pass through several phases and are currently in the quarter-finals but indeed this is still a risk considering that for the Europa League at this time there are still several other leading clubs such as Liverpool, Milan and Leverkusen who are still one of the favorite clubs.

Since Mbappe will not be with the club next season, the manager must find a replacement as well as how the team performs without his presence. There is no doubt that Mbappe is the best player and one of the most reliable players in PSG, but when a player leaves his club and signs a contract with a new club, the former club will not wait for their best player, but instead, the player will hire a good player. If Mbappe is sure to leave the club next season, PSG will surely recruit a young and talented player like him. Until they can recruit a player like Mbappe to the club, they will have to perform with their former team, so they may already be checking which player would do well to replace Mbappe.

Marseille was one of the best clubs in French Ligue 1 with usually we have PSG, Marseille and Monaco at the top but in this season we have big setbacks for them with Lyon stay in relegation zone and now having spot into middle of the league table and Marseille which was doing good again having three matches losing streak with now in next game they are going to play against Lille which is currently at the fourth spot and want to secure their place for the fourth spot having good performance can give them bad result which will be surely going to be worst for the Marseille because in case of lost they could be also lost their chance for ending at the fourth spot in this season.

We are having serious decline in quality and consistency in all top Ligue 1 clubs which is matter of concern for them with French soccer federation also needs to do something for the improvement in quality and performance because this is surely going to have problem for them as well in the future.
