It has really been not much difficult for PSG to bring top players for years. But becoming rich is really not enough to become more successful. PSG are still struggling to win the Champions League even for once. The best achievement they have got there so far is to qualify for the finale. Even while they had players like Messi and Neymar right beside Mbappe they still couldn't make it.  Sad

I really don't know the main reason. Maybe they just can't find the right manager for themselves or the problem is bigger than just the manager. Whatever it is they had better find a solution. If they lose Mbappe too I wonder what their future plans will be.

I no longer consider Paris Saint-Germain as potential winners for the UEFA Champions League title because when it was their moment, they screwed things up and end up on the losing side. However it's good to blame PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi for signing potential big names that have no absolute control with the progress of the team, rather they played their personal style of football and lacks the chemistry to push for greater winning. PSG will struggle when their most outstanding player finally exits the door this summer, Kylian Mbappe will leave without a second thought

I agree with you on that  because no matter the kind of good quality and experience players a club will have but if they don't have a good quality and tactical coach that will bring all the good performance in them they will still end up struggling, however like I already mentioned there was a time PSG has the highest squad on the Bundesliga that comprises of both Lionel Messi, Ramos, Mbappe and so many others but they still perform very bad and was actually losing matches consistently, so if perhaps they had a very good coach they would have surely go far and win many champions League. The truth is that PSG Is one of the richest club in this Bundesliga and they have the money to buy any player but what they also need to do is to check if there manager is good enough to lead the club to there destination because with the quality players PSG has wining trophies are not supposed to be too difficult for them.

Mbape wants to leave PSG this season,but he wants to keep a legacy before he goes.PSG are involved in the Champions league this season,they have been winnig their league tittle,but I don't think that is important to them this season,I think the most important thing to them now is the Champions league,and that is what Mbape is fighting for,he wants to leave PSG with that honour that he won the Champioi league for them,but the question is,how can he do that when he doesnt have any capable hand that is ready to support him towards winning that trophy.They  have really done a good job by winning the teams they've won so far,but      then wining the Champions league with be something hard to even immagine.
Mbappe want to leave sweet memorize for PSG's fans by winning Champion League trophy, its become honor for him self and get most respect from PSG fans if possibility for winning the most waiting for trophy have several years ago. For winning Ligue 1 seems not really special yet after every season PSG's fans celebrating the domestic league winner, but when success win UEFA Champion League for the first time become most fantastic and fans will be happy although Mbappe will leave PSG next season.
Its hard than imagine for PSG winning Champion League, but got easily drawing format if can beat Barcelona on quarter final will face the winner between Atletico Madrid or Dortmund are easily opponent team than have to face Manchester City, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich on other batch quarter final.

I understand PSG's mentality. The aim is big names, huge wins. However, relying on a few superstars is risky. Huge risk. Spends a fortune, and no trophies? Disaster. Absolute disaster. Mbappe, a terrific player, shows that Champions League pressure can break anyone.

Believe me, this play is smarter: Create your own talent. Slow, but builds a stronger foundation. You avoid outrageous transfer fees and inflated salaries and get players who compete for the shirt, not just the salary. Mixing one or two major stars with local talent? The mixture is potent. PSG needs competitiveness and sustainability to win. Much smarter than their current plan.

That should be the case and they should be able to learn from Manchester City to build a team not in an instant way by recruiting lots of star players, PSG failed last season when they implemented this.

And I also see that they have not developed or have not been able to achieve achievements on the European stage because PSG does not have fierce domestic competition so this team cannot compare in strength to be able to rise even better.
As we have seen in the last few seasons in League 1, no competitor has put pressure on PSG in the title race.
To manage a team well, the first thing you need is a good manager. PSG managed to hire a good manager last season. A number of players have been sold from PSG after a skilled manager took charge of PSG. Basically the club sold all the players who had problems and were unhappy with their performance. With Neymar sold and Lionel Messi gone, we wondered how a team that didn't do well despite having such a big star would do well with only Mbappe. But at this point we understand that the manager was right in his decision. In addition to dominating Ligue 1, PSG qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League where they exited the Super Sixteen last season with the world's best stars. I expect PSG to do well in the quarter finals but kudos to PSG for the progress they have made with this team.

If you want to do well in a competitive league like the Champions League, you definitely need an experienced coach. I would say that if the coach is not experienced, even if they brings all the star players of the world in the same squad, they will not get the expected good performance.

If Luis Enrique had coached PSG 2 more seasons ago, I think he would have led PSG to the Champions League title. He had talented and experienced players like Messi, Mbappe and Neymar in the squad. PSG's squad this season is not strong enough. Even so, PSG's performance on the Champions League platform is quite good. It is expected that the PSG team can also qualify for the semi-finals. Because Barcelona's performance is somewhat erratic now.

What you are saying is quite true man, the wealth PSG have will be easy for them to buy and target the star players they want, but of course they forget that success of course cannot always be bought with money, for now PSG should evaluate the causes of their failure to win the Champions League trophy so far even when they have three of the best attackers in their previous squad.

When Messi, Neymar and Mbappe were a fearsome trio in Ligue 1 but they weren't able to do much in the Europa League, wasn't there anything wrong with PSG back then?
Even I think it will be difficult for PSG to win the Champions League trophy now when they only rely on Mbappe, especially I think all the speculation that exists against Mbappe at the moment will indirectly affect his performance, we all know that the PSG squad is a luxurious squad and I think the only thing they don't have so far is mentality.  And of course maybe recruiting a coach who is already very experienced like Guardiola and Zidane can be a solution for PSG to improve their mentality in the Champions League later.

actually there is nothing to be surprised about about this because football is a safe business, there is a huge turnover of money in it, Nantes is taking wise steps before their team falls into the brink of relegation, at least they must be able to survive in their current position.  Currently Nantes' points are only a slight difference from those in the relegation zone, if they enter League 2 it will be very difficult to return to League 1.  Hopefully Kombouare can improve the performance of the Nantes squad until this season is over.
Nantes must at least be in the top fifteen positions at the end of the season in order to secure itself in League 1 for next season, because it is true as you said that if Nantes cannot secure itself to return to playing in League 1 next season by reaching the same position. It's better this season, Nantes will have a little difficulty returning to League 1 because in every season there is always more different competition so that might be a quite real obstacle for Nantes.

The mistake in PSG is about not having a balanced team, you haven't learned this yet. Now according to some news, it seems there is another ard fact in PSG about their superstar players Mbappe. We know Mbappe is a great player and he is effective in any team he plays for them, even that's true when we say if Mbappe leaves PSG they will have problems because so far he has been the key player for PSG.
But this is not a good reason to say this player should get this huge amount of money in PSG and we should accept he is just a human and should take a salary like the other players, After the contract they signed in 2022, Mbappe's current income n PSG 6 million euros per month, Which means 72 million euros per month and 36 million euros after the tax he should pay. While the next player on the list is Harry Kane who gets just 2.1 million euros which is much lower than Mbappe.
Maybe this can make some other players in PSG think they are not valuable to the team.

I wonder why you think that Mbappe should receive the same salary as other players? Are there any arguments other than “he is also a human being”? Football is a media business and Mbappe is a much stronger and more recognizable brand than Kane or even Haaland. He is trying to maximize his income and there is nothing wrong with that.
The other day I learned that the (relatively) “beginning” actress Millie Bobby Brown is already worth a billion dollars. Compared to her, Mbappe can be considered a modest man  Grin

If you look at the situation faced by the 5 teams that I have marked, it will be increasingly difficult for us to guess who will secure the top 4 position except for PSG. Here you can see that the difference in points is not that big and considering that currently most of the players are resting due to the international break, they must not be careless and must continue to do intense training with their coaches so that they can achieve important wins in the upcoming matches.

Even though Brest is one of the consistent teams this season, things could change and it is possible that Brest will not be able to maintain its second place. On the other hand, I am quite curious whether Lens will be able to get ahead of several of the teams above them by a margin that is not too big and secure their Champions League place again next season considering that this season they had to be eliminated from the group stage.

This has always been my concern for PSG they don't seem to  look like such a team thst is willing to be patient enough to want to build a team for the scratch and probably get to the point they become so formidable they will be able to be very productive even outside the Ligue 1 but they rather choose to keep focusing on starts with the mind that that's the way to helping them been able to achieve the kind of results they want to get.

If they are willing to build a team using young stars and talents such as the likes of coman and nkunku who were all gotten from their academy, they will be able to get a team thst will give them the kind of results they Desire even if it's going to take sometimes, but in the end it will be worth the wait and it will be even cost effective for them, just like Leverkusen now who's doing so well already and they are getting these results with their own players they did nurtured and not buying stars alone, it's even much better a team is able to build a star and get him to give the team the kind of performance they desire to get and later sell him off at a huge price which will now be another source of income to the team.

The Ligue 1 has always been the only place where PSGs dominance has been felt the most, they can possibly become a better team outside this small league where it seems their prowess is the most if only they are willing to probably risk a whole season to fixing the team and getting the team to produce the desired results and subsequent they would have a reliable team they can actually depend on the getting the kind of results they wanted all along.
The shortcuts made by PSG certainly make them a strong team in a very short time, and certainly it is not difficult for them to continue to be able to get many star players with the power of money they currently have, but of course PSG must be prepared for risks that are also detrimental to their finances if if the star players they buy now are not able to meet the expectations charged in achieving the championship target,  For now, what PSG is doing I don't think is entirely wrong, because will be difficult for a team to develop only by relying on the talents of academy players, yes maybe at least PSG must also be brave to orbit their young players into the current main squad in order to at least reduce their expenses.

Leverkusen in the Bundesliga are currently able to surprise many people with their achievements, but I think using Leverkusen as an example to compare PSG is certainly not realistic guys, because we all know how long it took Leverkusen to make history like now, and I think PSG will not want to wait that long to be able to make their team strong not only in Ligue 1 but of course the big teams of the Europa League so far become their benchmark for development.

PSG's mistake was always with their coach, it is not permissible that when they had 3 great stars and they did not win the UCL, Ligue 1 yes, that was obvious, but they had to demonstrate the level was in the UCL, so the mistake of the Sheikh as such was to allow himself to be talked over, prioemsesas and everything on the part of the coach, a sheikh who had everything and did not know what he had was lacking much more decision, because he did not know how to take advantage of the leadership of a team, I would have done everything possible to I tried to get Zidane, or one of the best at that time , but he wasn't able to do it, so that's like investing in something that you don't follow up on again, the sheikh really failed, now with Mbappé it only meant a lot, but It's not enough, sometimes the sheikh was very complacent with that player, and a player cannot be trusted by the club, those mistakes were the ones that never made PSG win, now they have a chance in the UCL that we are experiencing, let's see if things change.


The mistake in PSG is about not having a balanced team, you haven't learned this yet. Now according to some news, it seems there is another ard fact in PSG about their superstar players Mbappe.

I think PSG has learned their lesson the hard way. The club has spent so much money on expensive top-class player to win the Champions League but all their efforts have been fruitless. It seems they are smarter now and it has affected the recruitment pattern. They are no longer interested in signing big names this is why we have not had any reports of targeting big players besides the rumours of signing some players to replace the departing Klyrian Mbappé. They have also disposed of many players which is costing them much. Just like Real Madrid PSG is now interested in grooming younger players because they are cheaper, loyal and can easily blend with the team.

Did you know that I don't think there is anything wrong with Mbappe's current relationship with PSG? They didn't realise that a star player shouldn't play for just one team, and Mbappe deserves all that he is doing. PSG always believes that money is everything, but they also don't realise that money can never buy happiness or a person's career. Mbappe deserves to win a lot of trophies, and since he is still young, he should win them all. I don't think he could play as well at 27 years old.

Yes, as you said, PSG has learned a lesson and deserves more. PSG is one of the teams that spends a lot of money on players in order to secure their signing. I recall that when PSG wanted to sign a player, no team could match their offer because they paid a lot of money for the player. I also think that PSG will learn how to acquire players and develop them into better players as a result of the MBP issue. Real Madrid is the best team that consistently understands how to acquire players and develop them into valuable players, even if they intend to sell them.

In this season there is no team that is able to provide competition to PSG in the race for the title, we see Monaco and Brest where they are not very consistent which makes PSG steps to win the title very easy. Psg currently sits quite safely at the top of the standings and they don't have any strong rivals at all this season and looking at the remaining matches in this season it looks like PSG will easily win the title.

I think whoever coaches PSG will certainly be able to win the title because they have quite strong strength compared to other teams. Monaco and Brest are only aiming for a place to qualify for the Champions League this season, therefore Ligue 1 is not at all competitive unlike the Premier League or LaLiga.

I think not only this season but even every season that has passed we have not seen any competition happening in Ligue 1 so far, since PSG transformed into a wealthy club after being taken over by a Middle Eastern company of course no other team can compete with PSG currently in the domestic league, Winning almost 30 trophies in just 13 years after the change of ownership certainly makes PSG under Nasser Al-Khelaifi a very successful team in France, yes I think when a team continues to dominate in the league there will be a phase where saturation occurs and makes their dominance broken even if it is only one season as it is happening in the Bundesliga now.

Yes I slightly not agree with what you said, if PSG with a squad like now of course it will be easy to train, but I think it will not be that easy because no matter how great a team is, of course it needs a great coach to plan strategies and can also make players more structured with the pattern of play,  In addition, I think experienced coaches will find it easier to manage players who deserve a starting place in the line-up.

There is nothing wrong if indeed a big club like PSG expects something more especially when spending a lot of money to make their squad better then it is not wrong to expect better results especially in big competitions because their purpose of investing is for that.
But we need to realize that things like the big league Champions League are not as easy as imagined because even if a big club like PSG in ligue 1 it will look the same when compared to several other clubs in the Champions League because in the end this is not just one 2 big clubs but almost the average club in the Champions League is a big club so no matter how hard PSG tries to make their squad as luxurious as anything in the end it will be comparable to several other big clubs that make the player factor alone not enough to make a club triumph in the Champions League.

There must be several other factors that support the situation to be better like the coach factor and it could be that experience also determines a mentality because in the end when the benchmark is only the player alone until whenever the Champions League cannot be overtaken by PSG.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with that, but in my opinion PSG has too big ambitions to force the players to continue to use a lot of energy and always maximize their performance to get what the PSG owner wants.
I just remember some of the previous problems and of course I know that players like Mbappe must also be forced to stay at PSG and in the end they will lose even though previously they had always defended them with all their efforts, but it was all done to get a prestigious title.
Maybe this is what I mean that the player's mental experience is also very important but the presence of Neymar and Messi at that time should have provided a big opportunity but it turned out the results were the same as before and indeed all of this does not depend on the coach or players but the PSG owner and PSG management who should slowly building PSG to be more consistent in CL competitions without having to force the players.
It is a natural thing when a club owner who gives a large amount of money to a club then he is sure to provide the best results including in the trophy problem because after all, every investor wants progress in the development of the money they invest but when talking about demanding I don't think there is any coercion that really requires the players to be too large.
If there was an imposition I don't think PSG would be like today and the fact that they are in the round of 16 in 2 consecutive seasons does not make Nasser Al Khaelaifi upset because he understands that the situation in coaching is not very good and he already knows that so he does not give grandiose targets especially during the era of Poche and Galtier but for now where Enrique is there and the changes made in terms of the squad, of course this raises a new hope especially now that they have been able to get out of the round of 16 curse.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the president and have been incharge for a longer time than expected, he's doing good and nailing projects for the club. Paris Saint-Germain becomes elite when no other oppositions is able to nailed them. They've been having crucial moments settling their winnings, its important for them to continue dominating France Ligue One because any season they failed to win, that's more illustrative to giving other elite and mediocre clubs hopes to challenge for the title. Winning is evidence of an elite team doing incredible better and magnificent in performance.

Brest is one team that has really surprised me in the Ligue 1 this season and so I have tried to look at their performance and how they managed to get to the second position displacing Nice and the rest of the other tea.s who has been looking more promising to get to the top of the table but then currently their form isn't looking like such that can help them get to the second position on that table as at this time.

The top position actually belongs to PSG as at this time and its not an arguable one because they are already over nine points away from Brest who happens to be at the second position on the table who are trying to get to the top but getting to the top will means they will have to win almost four straight matches and PSG will aswell lose same number of games too which this almost not possible because PSG isn't going to allow such set back befall them not at this time of the season when they are almost close to the trophy and I'm sure they wouldn't want that which happened to them the other time where they were close to winning and they lost the trophy to happen to them again.

If PSG even loose their next game, they wouldn't even have much to loose because they will still be at the top of the table and still, without any team been able to displace them from their position at the top but then they still have to make sure to maintain the gap so they don't have to be pressured from the Ligue 1 while they still have the champion's league to still play aswell, they still remains the favorite for the Ligue 1 this season.
I have talking about this several times that this season PSG have no decent opponent for race title this because there was no other teams who can playing consistent equal to PSG and at the beginning of season Nice was appears with attempts to break the domination of PSG but unfortunately this team was lost their consistency Nice performance even is not getting better and during 2024 from January until this month Nice only able to gets 2 win and this situation makes Nice position have to out from top 4 but this situation was utilized with very well by Brest because they now can taking over second place from Nice

Since promote to Ligue 1 on season 2019/2020 Brest can able to survive at Ligue 1 and actually Brest almost be relegated last season because in the last 10 matches at the beginning of season Brest only get 1 win and this make Brest have to sacked their previous manager Michel Der Zakarian and apparently Brest has choose the right manager because Eric Roy can save them from degradation and this season Brest can fight for European competitions spots against big teams in Ligue 1 just like Monaco and Lille which so far this is their best achievement during their participant at Ligue 1 and but their position still not fully secured because Monaco and Lille can possibly to taking over their position so let see it later whether Brest can able to managed their consistency or not until end of this season

This has always been my concern for PSG they don't seem to  look like such a team thst is willing to be patient enough to want to build a team for the scratch and probably get to the point they become so formidable they will be able to be very productive even outside the Ligue 1 but they rather choose to keep focusing on starts with the mind that that's the way to helping them been able to achieve the kind of results they want to get.

If they are willing to build a team using young stars and talents such as the likes of coman and nkunku who were all gotten from their academy, they will be able to get a team thst will give them the kind of results they Desire even if it's going to take sometimes, but in the end it will be worth the wait and it will be even cost effective for them, just like Leverkusen now who's doing so well already and they are getting these results with their own players they did nurtured and not buying stars alone, it's even much better a team is able to build a star and get him to give the team the kind of performance they desire to get and later sell him off at a huge price which will now be another source of income to the team.

The Ligue 1 has always been the only place where PSGs dominance has been felt the most, they can possibly become a better team outside this small league where it seems their prowess is the most if only they are willing to probably risk a whole season to fixing the team and getting the team to produce the desired results and subsequent they would have a reliable team they can actually depend on the getting the kind of results they wanted all along.
The shortcuts made by PSG certainly make them a strong team in a very short time, and certainly it is not difficult for them to continue to be able to get many star players with the power of money they currently have, but of course PSG must be prepared for risks that are also detrimental to their finances if if the star players they buy now are not able to meet the expectations charged in achieving the championship target,  For now, what PSG is doing I don't think is entirely wrong, because will be difficult for a team to develop only by relying on the talents of academy players, yes maybe at least PSG must also be brave to orbit their young players into the current main squad in order to at least reduce their expenses.

Leverkusen in the Bundesliga are currently able to surprise many people with their achievements, but I think using Leverkusen as an example to compare PSG is certainly not realistic guys, because we all know how long it took Leverkusen to make history like now, and I think PSG will not want to wait that long to be able to make their team strong not only in Ligue 1 but of course the big teams of the Europa League so far become their benchmark for development.
I understand PSG's mentality. The aim is big names, huge wins. However, relying on a few superstars is risky. Huge risk. Spends a fortune, and no trophies? Disaster. Absolute disaster. Mbappe, a terrific player, shows that Champions League pressure can break anyone.

Believe me, this play is smarter: Create your own talent. Slow, but builds a stronger foundation. You avoid outrageous transfer fees and inflated salaries and get players who compete for the shirt, not just the salary. Mixing one or two major stars with local talent? The mixture is potent. PSG needs competitiveness and sustainability to win. Much smarter than their current plan.


For a team like PSG, the first goal is to have bigger names and better players no matter what it costs for them and how expensive this can be for PSG to buy better players and coaches they just try to get the best options they have ever had. For example, in the past, PSG had players like Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe at the same time for their team which can be a dream for any team.
Now it seems they are more balanced with Enrqiue and this time PSG has changed a bit because they prefer to fewer superstar players and instead they will have better teamwork, maybe this strategy can help them to get improve and get better results than before. In the Champions League, they always have the target to get some achievements there and they fail, now this season I feel this PSG can have much more chance than before.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi is the president and have been incharge for a longer time than expected, he's doing good and nailing projects for the club. Paris Saint-Germain becomes elite when no other oppositions is able to nailed them. They've been having crucial moments settling their winnings, its important for them to continue dominating France Ligue One because any season they failed to win, that's more illustrative to giving other elite and mediocre clubs hopes to challenge for the title. Winning is evidence of an elite team doing incredible better and magnificent in performance.
