For PSG, Mbappe's departure from the team is a big problem because the team's main tactic is to bring him the ball and watch what he can do. There will be no Mbappe next year and that's why Enrique will need a different tactic. They have a few months left to evaluate the option that will best fill Mbappe's absence. In my opinion, Osimhen and Rashford may be the two best candidates.

Expecting a Champions League trophy with Messi and Neymar is not at all guaranteed because after all, their era has also slowly declined so that at that time even though Messi played at PSG then the results remained poor for PSG's results in the Champions League. Even worse, Mbappe is rumored to be leaving at the end of this season and thus, PSG has completely failed to build a strong team to have good result in the Champions League. Although it is true, that PSG is a team that has good finances but yes, PSG should also be able to build a big and good squad like Real Madrid and Manchester City do. Especially about Manchester City who really have strong finances to build a great team, and the results are really achieved after the long efforts made by Pep Guardiola also there.

If i am not mistaken Metz is promotion team and their target is want to survive at Ligue 1 but their situation were difficult because 6 wins from 26 matches is showing their performance is completely messed up even in my opinion Metz and Clermont most likely will be relegated to Ligue 2 and for Monaco i have been discuss about this before because this season Monaco has interesting statistics because while other teams usually very strong to playing at their home but Monaco was different this because their away matches statistics is more good compared to their statistics at home and so far Monaco only lost twice from away matches and gets 7 wins so although Monaco performance this season is not too consistent but i am sure they can gets easy win from Metz and the bookmakers provide odds @1.64 for Monaco win

I don't think there's anyone who would want to argue with the fact that the reason why Paris Saint Germaine has continued to dominate the French league is because they've been spending more money in assembling more quality players than the other clubs in the French league but I don't think the management of Paris Saint Germaine should be criticized for their decision to always sign quality players to the club. As the years go by, things tend to change from what they used to be and that's what's been happening in football for over the past one decade. In modern day football, every club needs to spend big in signing quality players in other to remain competitive and that's what many of the French clubs have failed to do in recent years. The quality of players in the Paris Saint Germaine team is obviously better than that of their league rivals and that's why they'll continue to dominate the league until when another top club will start to match them in their spending spree

It's hard to see any actual competition for PSG in the Ligue 1 competition. I think PSG is going to dominate the competition and no other club is actually going to come close to them for quite a long time. Unless PSG screws up really badly, I don't see them losing the Ligue 1 title anytime soon. The other way that they could find some competition is if any other club is bought by some rich guy and he starts spending a lot of money for the club. But I don't say that happening because nobody is going to risk their money like that. And if anyone actually wants to buy a club at this moment, they are going to look at English Premier League first, La Liga second, Serie A third.  Ligue 1 comes a lot late in mind. nobody is also going to take a risk going up against PSG.

Financial backing has been allowing PSG to assemble a formidable team with top-quality players that creates a significant gap between them and other clubs in the league. They have the ability to consistently attract high-caliber talent through substantial investments undoubtedly that reinforces PSG's position as the frontrunner in Ligue 1. This financial advantage not only strengthens their squad but also makes it challenging for other teams to compete on a level playing field.

The dominance is just disheartening for fans of other Ligue 1 teams, because it leads to concerns about the competitiveness of the league. They say that their success isn't solely attributed to financial resources, but also effective management, strategic planning, and strong leadership within the club have played crucial roles in their achievements. The fact is that their management and leadership are not the best, it's shown by many occasions experienced by many individuals. The lack of genuine competition for the Ligue 1 title due to PSG's dominance has been raising valid questions about the overall health and competitiveness of the league.

This may not be pleasant, but indeed if we look at the conditions and from those who are quite different, it looks like PSG will win. Because PSG will be quite a troublesome competitor. We don't even know whether PSG will enter the final round or not. But judging from their enthusiasm and the results of previous matches, there is no doubt that PSG will advance to the next round, or in this case the final against Lyon. And, PSG will not want to just let a trophy go, even a French Cup. Because after all, it's just getting more and more interesting in football.

But in fact, it won't be that easy to discuss this with the clubs in it. Because PSG has often experienced difficulties in the Champions League. That's our general opinion, right? So, maybe it won't be easy for them to win the UCL trophy. Even though there is still Mbappe. Remember that even PSG couldn't achieve it when they still had Mbappe and Messi too, right?

PSG dominance in Ligue 1 will not be easily broken by other contestants, it will take luck for other teams to make PSG lose the trophy in the following seasons. Although Luis Enrique will lose Mbappe next season, this will not necessarily mean that other teams can surpass PSG performance, the depth of PSG squad makes it easier for them, besides that, clubs in Ligue 1 do not have financial resources as strong as PSG. This is what makes the gap in Ligue 1 clearly visible, so that the competitive level is not like other top European leagues.

Next season it looks like there will be no significant changes, PSG will appear as usual in leading the standings and winning trophies. Currently PSG is untouchable in leading the standings, it is likely that Luis Enrique squad will lock up the trophy more quickly and sweep all the remaining matches. To be honest, the benchmark for PSG success is the Champions League trophy, which I think this season is their best moment to achieve it, because they still have Mbappe in their squad.

Actually, I don't doubt the quality of the players that Paris Saint Germain has, but the problem is that even though they have quality players, they still can't form a very strong chemistry between the players. Maybe we still remember some of the problems they experienced, from players to players, players to coaches and even players to management, this is clearly something that is not good for a team. Because the chemistry within the squad will greatly influence their performance.

Actually I prefer it when I see them trying new things, I mean they can regenerate the players they have with quality young players, because if they always collect experienced players it might only last 2 or 3 seasons, but when they have young players that could be their future, and for sure it will last a long time. We can see what Real Madrid is doing with its squad, now they have a lot of young players, and they are doing that for the future. That's what I haven't seen from Paris Saint Germain, because they prefer to sign mature players. Actually, that's not wrong either, but they can also try other options.

PSG seems to have no responsibility in Ligue One considering that it is certain that they will win this title for the umpteenth time. It is very difficult to shift their dominance, especially with Middle Eastern ownership so all their desires can be fulfilled. They can always bring in quality players to strengthen the team and that's what other Ligue One teams don't have.

Playing against Barcelona in the Champions League will not be difficult for PSG and I think they are quite the favourites. Meanwhile, Barcelona seems quite unlucky because they have to play PSG in the quarterfinals and maybe they can hope for another opponent before facing PSG. But if Barcelona still has old traditions that they can be proud of, it is possible that PSG will also find it quite difficult to face Barcelona and that is something that must be paid attention to at this time. For betting, I think we will know after the line up comes out first because Luis Enrique often rotates his players and I want to confirm that first.

In this week three teams that are struggling to get away from the relegation zone will face tough matches, so the standings at the bottom may remain the same or not experience significant changes.
Lorient will face Brest one of the best teams this season and it will be difficult for Lorient to beat Brest but it is possible to get one point because with a thin point difference with other teams, one point will be very important later, but Brest's target to remain in second place will make this match very difficult for Lorient to get points.

Nantes will face Nice, a team that had performed well at the beginning of the season but slowly began to struggle to win, and in the first meeting of the season Nantes successfully defeated Nice with a thin score but this time it will certainly be different because Nice as a home team will try to get three points to continue to compete for a place in the champions league next season.

And Metz will face Monaco, a team that is also still targeting to be able to get a ticket in the champion league competition and Metz in the last few meetings had enough trouble to get points from Monaco so that the away team's chances of winning three points are wide open.

Competition at the bottom will remain interesting until the end of the season because the thin point difference will make the standings change until all matches are played, even if Clermont can achieve many wins in the remaining matches this season they could be a team that will continue to play in Ligue 1 next season.

Mbappè is a player from the AS Monaco academy and he has developed into a good player since joining the Monaco league 1 club, even during his season with Monaco Mbappe presented a trophy for Monaco in league 1, making PSG interested in recruiting Mbappè from Monaco and finally PSG was able to have him in in 2017/18, it would actually be quite a shame for Monaco if he kept Mbappè for a long period of time, maybe Monaco could achieve success like PSG and Mbappè could be used as a long-term investment but Monaco only used him for 2 seasons, maybe Monaco didn't know that the player from the academy will become a talented player like now and become a target for the team that will have him.

Every season of course there is a new generation with quite good quality in each team. Well, looking at PSG this season, of course they are still very strong because they have many quality players in their team. They have a midfielder who is quite quality and also has a striker who is sharp enough so they still have a chance to become champions in the Champions League. In the domestic league, PSG might have dominated 80% of possession if they were to become champions this season.

In the Champions League, of course there are many teams with stronger strengths, such as Manchester City and PSG, so a team that will advance to the final requires hard performance and of course that is not an easy thing for every team. Apart from that, the performance of the big teams is certainly stronger this season and even though Manchester City are the defending champions, of course they also need their consistency to become champions this season.

It is undeniable that PSG is one of the strong and rich teams in Ligue 1 today, and it is even difficult for other teams to be able to beat every advantage of PSG in the league, with the financial strength possessed by PSG at this time, of course it is difficult for other teams to be able to match the achievements and records that continue to be made by PSG in Ligue 1,  So far we know how PSG were able to transform into a very strong club and continue to dominate when they were taken over by investors from the Middle East.

The absence of significant resistance from other teams in Ligue 1 certainly makes it very easy for PSG to get every domestic trophy they are competing for at the moment in France, and if there are no significant changes to the finances of other teams in  ligue 1  in the next few seasons of course we will continue to see how PSG will continue to dominate the French league very easily and without any resistance from other teams in the league,  But of all the advantages that exist today, it has a big impact on PSG's performance in European competitions which actually become a weak team and difficult to compete with other teams tightly because their habit of competing with weak teams in the league makes their mentality also weak in European competitions so far.

PSG is a favourite club for the French league 1 trophy because they have won the league so many times, so perhaps there performance and there current state on this league is actually expected and they are very lucky because they don't have much of a serious competitors on this season that's why they have gone this far in terms of there point, also looking at there current players and performance is obvious that there is opportunity of PSG wining the league again next season because looking at other clubs on the league there performance is not strong enough against PSG.

The French Ligue 1 is always in the bag for Paris Saint Germain. We know that the first goal for them is the Champions League. But I don't think they can do with only Mbappe what they couldn't do with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the team. Maybe they can beat Barcelona in this round. Because Barcelona are far from their old glory days. But they will have to face stronger opponents in the next rounds. On the other hand, they are in a very comfortable position in the league, so I think they might lose some surprise points. I think we should be careful when betting.

This has been my perception too about PSG, for me I think it's about time we no longer see them as a big team for winning the Ligue 1 they should go and be a better team in other big leagues such as the champions league since they don't get to fall low enough to go to the Europa they should express some dominance in the champions league just like they usually do I'm the Ligue 1 then they will be seen as big.

Across Europe, they are been regarded as a big side probably because of their dominance in the Ligue 1 but I think it will make more sense if we get to see same in the champions league because they are never too big for.rhw champions league and it's prestigious nature makes it such that any team who gets to win the champions league is held at a very high esteem because it's considered the league of all the champions across Europe and it's only a big team thst can be able to really get to win the trophy and be seen as the champions and I know if PSG gets to win the champions league thy be more respected much more than when they won the Ligue 1.

Winning the Ligue 1 is now looking too regular and almost everyone has gotten used to that fact and that's why it's very possible they will win the Ligue 1 and yet most persons wouldn't see a big deal off it but if they ever happen to win the champions league, it will be widely celebrated even if they lost the Ligue 1 and won the champions league it wouldn't be considered like they lost the Ligue 1 because what they win is much bigger.

It is certain that they will become champions this season, because no team can catch them, although there is still a chance, but in my opinion it is something that is impossible to happen. Paris Saint Germain is very tough when they are in Ligue 1, there is no team that is at the same level as them, that is what makes it easy for them to dominate the league every season. This season they are comfortably at the top of the standings without any pressure weighing them down.

Their main goal every season is the Champions League, but they always fail there. This season they are in the quarter-finals and will face a team from La Liga, Barcelona. In terms of performance, they actually don't have a very significant difference, but again, when we talk about the Champions League, we will definitely be talking about the mentality that is really needed. and in terms of mentality I see Barcelona is still better than Paris Saint Germain. It is difficult to predict who will win in this match, because according to the two teams the odds are not much different.

I was really hyped when they had a trio like that. I thought they would win the Champions League at least once. But unfortunately...

It isn't impossible to build a strong squad honestly. You know there is always a new generation with very skilled players. The chairman should make his transfers according to that from now on. Look at teams like Real Madrid and Manchester City for example. They are really successful about bringing such players and building their future with them. If PSG don't keep up with them they would continue to look at the Champions League trophy from far away.  

Paris Saint Germaine if we all can remember didn't have a good start to the season in the French Ligue 1 but had to improve their performances as the season went on to overtake the teams that were ahead of them in the league table. The club's players resilience and determination to grow and improve under their current manager Luis Enrique is the reason why I think they might just shock the footballing world by winning the UEFA Champions League title that they've never won before in the history of the club.
The reason why Paris Saint Germaine is dominating the French league is simply because they have the best set of quality players in the league but they've failed to also extend their dominance to the UEFA Champions League competition. Luis Enrique before he was appointed as the club manager of Paris Saint Germaine already knows that the club's main reason of hiring him is to help them win the UCL and as a manager who had won the competition before with Barcelona, I think he's very capable of helping them achieve their aim. Paris Saint Germaine might not just be considered as the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League title this season but I strongly believe that they have all it takes to win at the end of the season
