Then see the valuation between PSG and brest. It will also explain us if the result against brest was a bad result for a team with very big calibre like PSG. im just speaking based on the fact that PSG was not also dominating the game. Brest was playing equally against PSG even though it's consistently defending instead of attacking but it was also making its way to get draw against a club with the biggest valuation in the french league. There's noting wrong with it but i think that if this is a bad result that shall not be repeated by PSG again. It was embarassing result for PSG caused by we do know that how consistent this club was still dominating the league one.
Nice is being even closer now and it seems like that the club has been trying so hard to perform consistently, nice sticks to the PSG now and the gap is still quite big. It was so annoying to see the draw between PSG and brest. Many people were losing their bet.
I can't even accept that result caused by i almost make it. it's a disaster performance from PSG. The club can't keep to play the football like that. It's terrible to watch. PSG was leading but it was also failing to get three points.
I would like to give PSG very low score for the performance of this game.

You are definitely right about Brest playing very well. Brest's playing style could even make a team like PSG with many superstar players to stop and while PSG fans were expecting to see PSG winning this match but they couldn't do that. Brest scored the second goal in the game to get one point from this match however this will not make a change in the French league for PSG and they are still in the first place of the league with a gap they have with Nice.

The match seemed quite an unexpected turn of events. PSG, initially the clear favorite, took an early 2-0 lead. The situation made it seemed like the game was heading for a comfortable victory for them. However, Brest's commendable performance in the second half, scoring two goals and securing a draw, defied expectations. While the draw may not significantly impact PSG's current standing, maintaining a comfortable 6-point lead, it's a satisfying outcome for Brest.

This result allows them to hold onto the third-place position, and it keeps their hopes alive for a spot in the Champions League next season. The unpredictability of football always adds excitement, and Brest's resilience in the match showcases the competitiveness of the league. It will be interesting to see how the top four competition continue to perform in the upcoming fixtures and how this result shapes the dynamics of the league table in the long run.

Brest played quite well in that match. Initially PSG was really the favorite. Especially after they were able to lead the match 2-0. I thought the score would be 3-0 or 4-0 at the end of the game. But my prediction was wrong. Brest was able to score 2 goals in the second half and PSG was unable to score additional goals so the score ended in a draw. For PSG, this result will not affect their ranking because they are still 6 points ahead. But this is a satisfying result for Brest because at least they were able to maintain third place and have hopes of playing in the Champions League next season.

Reports have it that Paris Saint Germaine management wants to sign AC Milan player Rafael Leao during the summer transfer window but they're still uncertain about the move because they aren't sure if the forward player Kylian Mbappe is going to leave the club at the end of the current season or not. Rafael Leao is one of the best players of AC Milan but the Portuguese have been limited by injuries that he's suffered lately but I believe that he's surely gonna come back to his best again.

Talking about the possibility of Kylian Mbappe staying at Paris Saint Germaine beyond the current season, I don't think it's ever gonna be possible because as we all know, the France national team captain is yet to sign a contract extension with the club and for him to do that, it simply means he's gonna leave the club at the end of the season. It's been reported severally on the media that Kylian Mbappe's next destination will be at Santiago Bernabeu the home of Spanish giants Real Madrid. Should Mbappe leave, signing Rafael Leao I think will be a very good move for PSG

The red card obtained by Barcola in the additional minutes of the second half did not affect the course of the match because PSG had won first with two goals. Brest played better entering the second half and they carried out a measured attack until it managed to equalize. PSG is quite disadvantaged because besides one player gets a red card so they cannot play in three matches later, they also lose two points at home even though this is an opportunity for PSG to get full points.

The loss of Barcola will not affect PSG's performance because they actually have a number of substitute players in that position. PSG will face a match that is not too difficult to live because Strasbourg is only able to rank ten of the standings so that their strength is far more inconsistent than Brest and PSG will definitely be much easier to get full points.

A balanced team is very much needed and important than having a team filled with so called star players and there's no balance or even chemistry amongst the player such that on the field of play they have no good rhythm in their style of play because they are all stars and would want to shine in their various ways.

PSG would have been more focused on getting the team in a better shape than parking stars to the UCL, I know that will in a way frightened other teams but after they have seen how you performed even with the squad of good players, they are definitely going to understand that you do not have the strength to really cause the kind of damage they did think you were capable of so they will just end up challenging you because they are aware that the team has only got big names, a good build up will get PSG better prepared for subsequent season, they need a coach who has got the kind of Xabi Alonso's mindset

At least, the factor of playing away may also make us hesitate to choose Lens even though we are basically quite sure that Lens will win. But also, considering Lens position in the standings and not entirely good results for away matches, then it can change the initial choice that has been determined. But yes, basically Toulouse also does not have good results so far this season also for home matches and not only that, the fact is that Lens also has a very good dominance of victory based on head to head records against Toulouse. With such notes and considerations, it still seems feasible and a definite result for Lens to get three points in this match which Lens won with a score of 0-2.

Well I can't say less, for me LUIS Enrique, unlike you, he needs to mature a lot in terms of the choice of his players, but I noticed it in Qatar, when he took almost the entire Barcelona squad and left out exceptional players of Madrid, or that at one time they played for Real Madrid, and this is something that should be done to us, it is not right and should not be allowed, things with Barcelona should be very different from what a coach can do, so starting from From there he did not moderate his attitude, because he left players who I know had done a lot, in fact he threw an entire nation for his stubbornness, so on that side I don't like the style that Luis Enrique has, it's something because it doesn't suit me and I don't see much of a future if he still thinks like that, that's why I say, he needs to get up early, and those who corroborate this know that I'm telling things as they are, at PSG he has no other choice, he has to take That team advanced with or without Mbappé, it is a fact.

So given these facts, for me he really needs some things , Among them Seeing the players for their potential and not for the Friendship or tastes they have, what if Sergio Ramos is still playing? He would never have Entered the team because he was there , what Would he have done? Maybe since he is, they would have fired him so he could do his job, or maybe he would have put Sergio Ramos to polish the bench, so this type of coach is extremely imposing in his style of play and Management and they are not Able to see the mistakes they make, it is only their Arrogance that is brought to light so that they can do things like this, I don't know what the Sheikh would say to them, or what agreements they agreed with him, but I am sure of one thing , if Mbappé They left him very helpless, I don't think he will resist what they are coming to him.




On the other hand, on a personal level I have always said that this team is one of the best in Ligue 1 but only in LIgue 1, because the other teams do make a difference, but when PSG reaches the UCL they have achieved nothing If they didn't achieve anything having Messi and Neymar with Mbapé, now how are they doing with supposedly Mbappé out? I don't think so, also one of the options that Luis Enrieque has is to go to Barcelona, and that would be a big shame because PSG doesn't want to let him go, in fact they released a statement on Twitter that they are not going to let him go, that It is impossible, I say that things like this can be decisive when trying to make them better, this team has a lot of future, but without stars the other teams in Ligue 1 can dethrone them and easily, everything is in them achieving it themselves and believe in doing it.

Personally, I have always said that in Ligue 1 it will not seem like a boring system to me, because it will no longer be a PSG that dominates, and in part it is very good, because this team can make a difference, so in this order of ideas lasc ocsa Podemos be difficult, and I could think that another team could make the difference, I can't deny that I like that tie, and in part it's very nice that all the teams in Ligue 1 believed it, because that's the only way they'll go up a level. Furthermore, I have noticed something with the other teams that they play with fear of PSG and that is something that bothers me, it is as if they have a lot of respect for it, because then in the UCL no team respects a PSG, not even in its best moment They respected PSG with MESSI and his combo, so now that the other teams in Ligue 1 have everything to win, they must be smarter, I don't know, but I think that others should see these things and do things better.

In this match, Lens was able to win the match without a goal in return. In the first half, Da Costa was able to take advantage of El Aynaoui's pass and scored the opening goal for Lens against Toulouse. Halfway through the second half, Andy Diouf was able to shoot a powerful shot in the 55th minute which was quite cool in the area outside the penalty box. The player's hard shot was unable to be blocked by the Toulouse defenders and neither was Toulouse goalkeeper Guillauma Restes. During the match, in the first half Lens dominated 54% ball possession, 9 total shots, 3 on target and 1 big chance.
In the second half, Toulouse played more aggressively to equalize. In fact, Toulouse controlled 61% of ball possession, 11 total shots, three big chances, 1 shot hit the goal post and they wasted one penalty opportunity. In the end, Lens won this match with a score of 0-2. Technically, there is not much difference between these two teams.

But unfortunately, Toulouse was unable to capitalize on the momentum against Lens who were playing at home. However, it is normal for the home team to lose, the fact is that Toulouse really underperformed. They were only able to win three matches out of 19 matches, 8 draws and 8 defeats.
Meanwhile, Lens was able to end their bad streak of three matches in various competitions without winning. In this match, Lens was able to maximize its match by getting full points. now, Lens has the same 29 points as Maseille who is ranked 7th in the standings. In the next match, Lens will visit Landang Nantes. The victory over Toulouse must be a motivation to achieve positive results in the next match.

In today match, PSG failed to get full points because they had to accept draw by Brest, which is the team in 3rd place in the standings, and this is one of the bad match results for PSG.
The reason is that PSG had to lose an attacking player in the final minutes of extra time because the referee was given red card.
With this red card, Bradley Barcola had to miss several future matches.

In the 20th round, PSG will face Strasbourg, which is a middle team in the Ligue 1 standings and in this match, Strasbourg has home game advantage so it will be possible to put pressure on PSG.
In this match, it is certain that Bradley Barcola, who is one of PSG main players, is absent and of course PSG will only use reserve players to fill the void on the front line.
I wanted to see how PSG fared in defeat and this was quite an interesting match.

Personally, I think Enrique can. PSG's draw with Brest wasnt the best of their season, but its not the worst. Enrique's resilience at PSG and Barcelona and Spain speak volumes. He's used to pressure and criticism, and history shows he can turn things around. The man has always overcome obstacles and come out stronger.

PSG has a few matches before Real Sociedad in the Champions League, and Im sure Enrique will use them to improve the team. I think PSG will recover from the draw with Enrique in charge. They dominated Ligue 1 and will be in peak shape for the Champions League with a few tweaks. Trusting Enrique to steer the ship through stormy waters is key.

Yes, I really agree with you that PSG seemed to underestimate Stade Brest when it was approaching final minutes of the second half and at that time it was really visible that PSG really underestimated Stade brest and with the spirit of Brest they saw so much enthusiasm to get into the defense when PSG played relaxed in The final minute started with score scored by Mahdi Camara who very easily got into the PSG defense line and scored after that Mathias Pereira who came on in the second half had a bit of good fitness and was able to score 1 score and finally PSG let it all happen, dividing the score with a draw.
With this performance, I declare that Stade Brest is truly a strong challenger at this time after Nice consistently lost and will definitely be runners up in League 1.

For now, PSG is still quite comfortable with being at the top of the standings because they have quite a large distance between points. So the draw clearly will not affect PSG's fight for the title in Ligue 1, but PSG's task this season is still not much different from the previous season, namely trying to perform optimally in the UCL. Because in Ligue1 PSG has proven to be strong and can continue to have the Ligue1 trophy as long as PSG is not so down.

Neymar and Messi are not a benchmark for PSG to become champions because in the end when they were at PSG even when talking about the Champions League their chances remained poor and even 2 seasons had to be eliminated in the round of 16 with expensive players like Neymar and Messi.
This is not about the player's problem but the problem of the club itself.
The situation of PSG is not very good in every season makes their condition remain the same in the end.

2 Seasons of hiring coaches who don't have much experience in the Champions League makes their situation remain unchanged and this season when looking at the condition of the players (apart from Mbappe) in the end we know PSG wants to change their perspective on players and wants to try to maximize with a slightly different coach.
Enrique is not a coach with any real experience when looking at his track record as he was only helped by his time at Barcelona but this could be a positive change when looking at what he has done for the PSG squad.

In a game many including bookmakers had predicted that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna easily win, Brest came from two goals down to draw against the reigning French Ligue 1 champions and that has made many to come up with the opinion that Nice might just overtake current French league leaders Paris Saint Germaine and probably win the league at the end of the season.

As far as the French Ligue 1 is concerned, there's no team in the league that can measure with Paris Saint Germaine in terms of quality of players and that's why I don't even consider any of them to be competitive enough to stop the French champions from retaining the league title at the end of the current season. Paris Saint Germaine biggest issue id you ask me is to have a good campaign in the UEFA Champions League competition that'll probably see them reach the final of the competition this season and that I think will be very difficult but with the presence of their current manager Luis Enrique who's won the competition before with Barcelona, PSG I think has all it takes to not just reach the final but to also win it

Toulouse vs Lens was the only match that didn't end in a draw last night and unfortunately it was this match that I missed in betting. Actually, we can already guess who the winner will be and here, even though Lens come as the visiting team, they can be relied on to win. The results as we can see Lens won with a score of 0-2 from Toulouse.

Actually, I was quite worried if the result was a draw like the previous match, but I didn't expect Lens to break expectations and steal points in this away match. An additional 3 points keeps Lens from moving in 8th position but now they have the same points as Marseille and this week the competition will certainly be much more exciting.

Maybe you had this feeling because you saw many superstars like Neymar and Messi in PSG during the last season but that's never enough to have many expensive and superstar players in your team to get good results especially when we are talking about a tournament like the Champions League and other teams got even better player but also a more balanced team.

Sure! it won't fall from the top of the standings because previously it had a 5 point gap from Nice while Nice is not a threat to PSG whose performance is stronger and for me a draw is better.
I watched the match but it seemed like the PSG players, especially the defenders, were a bit tired so they lost concentration and were unable to block the Brest players so they conceded.
Mbappe, who is PSG's mainstay player, was unable to do anything because he received a yellow card so he couldn't perform optimally, rather than forcing himself to appear tough and causing disaster with a red card.
I consider this a surprise but the most important thing is that it does not affect PSG's position.

It looks like I overestimated PSG or their motivation, but this game turned out to be quite even, although at some point it seemed that Brest would fall apart:

Shots - 10:9
Shots on target – 4:6
Corners – 7:0

Nothing terrible happened (if you don’t take into account those who added PSG’s victory to multi-bets to increase the overall odds or simply bet on PSG’s victory with or without a handicap) and PSG continues to lead with a comfortable 6-point lead. Thanks to this draw, Brest retained their place in the top 3 and will continue to fight for a spot in the Champions League.
