They still have two steps to go and it feels like it will be much more difficult to get a chance to win the Champions League this season because they have to face other strong teams. Now PSG's task is to prove their abilities when playing in the semifinals because to advance to the final they must be able to beat their opponents first. PSG's advantage is that they can focus on the Champions League because in Ligue 1 they are already in a safe position to fight for the title.

The opportunity for challengers to catch up on the points that PSG has earned is impossible to catch so they can be a little more relaxed and will be much more focused on preparing for the Champions League semifinal match. Luis Enrique's task is to be able to bring PSG to the final because in Ligue 1 they have dominated for quite a long time and management is definitely targeting the Champions League title.

There is a situation that Real Madrid had a hard time against Manchester City. If they perform like this, they can be beaten. If PSG makes it to the final, they will not want to give away the match in the final, at least I do not think they will give away the match as easily as thought.

With the available sources PSG is having one of the strongest team in Ligue 1, but sadly they were not able to have success into Champions League which was dilemma for them but now as things are taking good changes we are having to be positive because mostly peoples are feeling without Mbappé they are nothing, but I have feeling they can achieve better results and this could be good for them as well first time we are having good results from them with having success against Barcelona is the biggest moment and this could be game changer for them as well in the future.

Even Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are favourite but still we can expect match day performance can bring any surprise and PSG can give good farewell to their star player who is now having his last few games in this club.

Are you confident in PSG winning the Champions League this season, it seems you forgot that Bayern München still has a chance to become champion, maybe of course Madrid won't be easy to get goals in the match. Bayern München is too strong if they play at home, maybe with the squad In the past, Madrid had a high possibility that Bayern München could fall, but Madrid's current squad doesn't look strong enough to fight Bayern München's class, but whatever it is, everyone still has a chance or opportunity to win the match later in the first leg of their respective matches, even though PSG doesn't. are in the lead this season but by overthrowing Barcelona in the previous match it is quite a threat to all clubs that are still competing in the Champions League..

Although Real Madrid is a strong candidate in the Champions League this time but at least, it still seems not easy for Real Madrid to get it. Because after all, even though Real Madrid got an opponent Bayern Munich who failed in the domestic league but yes, maybe Bayern Munich will really be able to maximize the chance it has in the Champions League this time. Therefore, I think any result can still happen and maybe, PSG will meet Bayern Munich in the final match later and I think it is still possible. So yes, with considerations like this then I think the winner of the Champions League trophy this season is really very open. I mean, it's not entirely certain that Real Madrid will get it, because teams like PSG or maybe Bayern Munich still have a good chance also at this moment, because their focus right now can also be completely for the match in the Champions League.

It's no surprise that PSG continues to win matches in League 1 because there is no club stronger than PSG in this league. Maybe there could still be a surprise but there is only a small chance because PSG players will not give anyone a chance to score a goal, Goncalo Ramos scored. 2 goals in the first half and those were the last 2 goals that PSG scored because they were very confident that they had locked in victory in the first half with a big score.

PSG has good and solid players even without Mbappè PSG is still able to create lots of goals maybe because Lyon is not a strong enough opponent for PSG the opponent's defense is also quite weak and unable to withstand PSG's very strong attack PSG can win with a big score, PSG's defense too quite strong even though Lyon took a lot of shots in this match but the PSG goalkeeper prevented the ball from entering the goal by making a save, good work for Gianluigi in this match.

Even too many are talking Kylian Mbappé leave is going to have big impact on PSG performance in future but still if we look into long run this is going to be important for them as well because now it's time for them to look beyond him and having new life which can give them better performance and players as well which can bring better success as well because as they keep him for many years and fail to achieve big trophies but it is also positive we have better things in this season which are making positive change.

Right now, new coach is doing good job as he is playing mostly matches without Mbappé which are giving them good results even they are not able to perform as they needed but still things are positive, and we can expect better results in coming season as well which will make improvement, and they will be able to do good in all events which will more important for them.

Monaco has gone to the second position by winning this match against Brest. I believe the defensive line was not doing well enough for Brest in this match. I also have to say the two red cards towards the end of the match that Monaco got could easily have been avoided in my opinion. There was no reason to pick up those two red cards. let’s be honest, it was nothing much from the Brest players. They were taking the freaky quickly while the first red card happened, of course Monaco player did not like it but he did not have to slap the Brest player.

on the second time, it was actually the Brest goalkeeper helping the Monaco player getting up to his feet I believe. I’m not sure if it was the goalkeeper or the defender, but the Monaco player tried to kick him. That was absolutely unnecessary. But anyway, Monaco has played one match less compared to Brest and is currently ahead of them in the second position. Brest is now also going to get pressured from below as well.

If Real Madrid makes it to the final then PSG's chances of winning the UCL are almost close to 0. I'm not underestimating PSG but we all agree that Madrid's performance this season is very impressive. They are a very adaptive team and can change match tactics every minute. Real Madrid is also known as the king of comebacks and therefore PSG must be careful. PSG must go all out and give all their best abilities in the final match. Mbappe can make a difference therefore I think he should get opportunities as often as possible. I'm interested to see Mbappe vs Rudiger.

Now matches in Ligue 1 is not problem for them because they are having enough lead which can give them title and things are interesting with their main focus is Champions League semifinal which is going to play against Borussia Dortmund even their season is right now target with achieving spot in last four and having title mean they are on target with their new coach Luis Enrique and with this performance and consistency they can achieve better results in coming season as well because we have co incidence with Mbappé is having last season and Luis Enrique is having first and things are going well under control they are on target, and they can manage things in coming season even Mbappé is leaving.

Mostly peoples are saying we have no chance for the win in Champions League, but this all is personal view with Barcelona game was also difficult, but they achieve this and still they can do things like these in coming matches as well which will give them better chance of win, but they needed to be positive for this all.

 Honestly how a striker who plays in an uncompetitive league can be better than a striker who plays in the most competitive league at the moment?
I don't think we can compare Mbappe and Haaland at different levels when they play in different leagues at the moment, I think the experience of playing in some of the tight competitions that Haaland has gone through has made him a sharp striker, We can see how Haaland performed when he played at Dortmund as well as now when he plays in the Premier League, while Mbappe he only played in Ligue 1, and I think if later Osimhen replaces Mbappe at PSG then Osimhen will be very better than Mbappe because indeed PSG does not have opponents who can indeed make it difficult for them in Ligue 1, PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 would make it easier for Mbappe to score as many goals as possible and obviously make a name for himself in Ligue 1, but would Mbappe be able to do that if he were to play in the Premier League?
Of course not...!!

The game of football is a collective game and no one best player can be the best without the support of one team, so when you say Mbappe doesn't need his teammates when it comes to scoring goals of course it looks like a joke to me . If indeed mbappe can score goals without needing help from other players, of course it is better for PSG at this time will only play mbappe alone  because it can be guaranteed to win with mbappe's ability to score goals as happened in the shaolin soccer movie.

It seems unfair to compare Mbappe with Osimhen and Haaland because the competition in League 1 is very different from the competition in Serie A and EPL.
logically if you say maybe Osimhen and Haaland can't have skills like Mbappe, of course Mbappe won't be as reliable as Osimhen if he's in series A and also Mbappe won't be as reliable as Haaland if he's in the EPL, this is fair enough for me.
IMO, if Haaland or Osimhen could join PSG they would definitely have the same achievements as Mbappe because these two top players have often overcome tough obstacles in series A and also in the EPL whereas comparing league 1, series A and EPL it is definitely league 1 easier than the other two leagues I mentioned.
so it is very easy for Osimhen and Haaland if they can compete in League 1 to be able to score big scores like Mbappe because the competition is easier in League 1.

when Mbappe leaves PSG it might slightly affect the strength of his performance to win the title in the UCL but to get the League 1 title it seems there is no need to worry because PSG will continue to dominate League 1.

There's no striker who're in the same level to Mbappe, even Haaland and Osimhen are behind Mbappe. Both Haaland and Osimhen without support from teammates will not able to score, but Mbappe without teammates is still able to score, he can do alone.

If Mbappe leave PSG, PSG won't be same and it's impossible for them to win Champions League.

With Mbappe leaving the club next season, the manager must consider alternatives. Although the manager is thinking of alternatives now, as long as Mbappe is at the club, it is natural that the manager will try to make maximum use of Mbappe. If PSG can do well in the Champions League this season with Mbappe in attendance, their investment will finally pay off. In case Mbappe leaves the club, the manager is planning to replace him with another player. Mbappe is a very important player in the team but Mbappe cannot do well without the help of the other 10. Mbappe is dependent on all the other players in the team, but if Mbappe leaves the club alone and the team can replace him with a good player, PSG's performance should not be too bad.

He has become an icon and a man of need at PSG so his departure seems to have had a huge impact on PSG. It's the same as Messi and Ronaldo when they both left Spain. Player departures have become commonplace in the football industry. We just need to readjust. There will be another new name who is ready to become iconic in the team. Just look at Madrid, they have also got 1 great new player.

PSG should be able to imitating Madrid's management to continue to dominate in Ligue 1. They have also qualified for the UCL semifinals this season, they must maximize for the championship because Mbaape is still in the team. Enrique had to make the most of Mbaape when he was still at PSG.

The news of Luis Enrique and Thomas Tuchel leaving PSG and Bayern Munich respectively sounds odd to me. Although the case of Tuchel has been made official by the club management while Enrique's departure is still a rumour. These two coaches have performed absolutely well and shouldn't be allowed to leave their clubs. I wonder about the quality of coaches that will be in the market who are better than these coaches, maybe someone might say Zinedine Zidane. If these two clubs get to the finals, I am sure these clubs will consider giving them everything they need to make them stay. Regarding the case of Mbappé, PSG will have to play without him next season because the French star has already made up his mind to leave.


PSG has enough financial backup to get some of the best attackers in the world. Mbappé might be a very special player but he is not irreplaceable. With time the club will get used to his absence and other players will take responsibility. I also assume that there are players that are overshadowed by Mbappe, some of them will discover their abilities when he leaves.

PSG completely owned Lyon in the previous game and it's obvious that how PSG was able beating destroying lyong with huge margin. As you can see, PSG was doing well in the previous game and many of its attackers were scoring at the time which is also helping them all to boost their performance . PSG forced Lyon to end its winning streak, worsening the situation. PSG is very close to clinching the league 1 title. The club only needs three games remaining in order to secure the title this season. As long as PSG can win three more matches, PSG will be able to secure the title for the season. PSG now leads by 11 points over the second-place team and it's also saving club's position caused by the gap is too big for its competitor to achieve it. So, PSG still has a chance to win the trophy even earlier. I am confident that PSG will make it happen very soon.


These are the remaining matches owned by PSG.



PSG is gonna have ez fixtures as on its upcomin game. Im not even doubting that the potential owned by PSG. Things have been going so well for PSG

The victory over Brest on away match, success make AS Monaco returning back to 2nd standings position and has great chance for finish at UEFA Champion League spot standings in this season. Currently, AS Monaco has three points remaining awhile from Brest and still has one match left to get more bigger opportunity to secure one place for participating in Champion League next season, AS Monaco has 5 matches left but upcoming two matches later against Lille and Lyon seems little difficult will get three points or not because too close and most competitive for  getting top fourth place behind Nice outside from top fourth has chance to get one champion league spot place.

Denis Zakaria and Takumi Minamino performing well scoring goal and helped AS Monaco to reach the 2nd place position, left five matches later and if can keep with top perform bigger chance for Monaco return to participant in Champion League for next season.

Monaco managed to steal 3 points from Brest and this result made Monaco succeed in shifting Brest to second place in the standings. Even though previously Brest was the favorite to win, especially since they were the hosts, even as the visiting team, Monaco were not afraid in the slightest and they still tried to take points. If you look at the statistics, it's actually not much different and maybe Brest's only advantage is their ball possession.

Monaco's goal was opened towards the end of the first half through Zakaria and also the second goal was scored at the start of the second half through Minamino. Even though this match was quite fierce, Monaco losing two players due to red cards in the last minute will not change the result they got in this match. In addition, Monaco must be careful because when their goal has been achieved, they cannot be careless in committing fouls and that will be very detrimental.

So, this is what is interesting about the financial fair play system, which provides convenience and opportunity for any team to be able to create equality of performance by bringing in players who can be considered the best players.
Moreover, this can also help each team to get players without any difficulties in terms of negotiating prices because player monopoly when this happens can be detrimental to many parties and those who have it get the biggest profits.
It just that PSG, with its huge financial resources, can use it to bring in the world best players.
Some of the best players have had their respective teams with quite long contracts and they are still being retained because their contribution is very important, what makes things difficult for PSG is not about money but about success in convincing the team or player for the transfer.

Several names have been kept by PSG for purchase options at the end of the season, but there is no clear and guaranteed certainty whether they will actually be part of PSG or not.
What is clear is that PSG must prepare everything carefully because preparation for next season is very important.
