The Ligue 1 has become like a toy for PSG I'm afraid. As there is no other team as rich as PSG in the league it is really too difficult to compete hard against them. Lille were an exception in the 2020/21 season and they fought really incredible for the league title. There is Monaco example 4 years before that one too. But since like the 2012/13 season PSG have been in dominance with 9 titles.

As winning the league title is really easy for PSG their ultimate goal is to win a Champions League title for the first time in their history. They have played in the finale the most so far. But can they do this before Mbappe leaves the team? I really have big doubts. 

It's true that last night was the turning point for Nice in achieving victory and they did it against Lens. The score was beyond expectations because this time he was able to score 3 and in contrast to the usual score of only being able to score 1 winning goal. It seems they know that a thin lead will not be able to secure a chance of victory, so they have improved it in the attack sector to make it more productive.

On the other hand, hosts Lens had to stop their winning trend in front of the fans and they failed to overtake Nice in the standings and with this victory put Nice 1 point ahead of Lens. I think the competition in the top 4 will be even more tense considering the difference between several teams is very thin.

Another ongoing match between Brest vs Lille is also a competition for the top 4 where Lille will be quite depressed if they lose this week to Brest and it is possible that next week we will see several teams fighting each other to get that place. The score is still tied at 0-0 in the first half and let's see what happens at the end of the match.

Yesterday it was as I thought.I expected both Nice and Strasbourg to win.Strasbourg scored in the 3rd minute to take an early lead.Nantes equalised with Eray Cömert in the 35th minute but Emegha scored 2 goals in the second half and Strasbourg won the match 3-1.Strasbourg increased their points to 29 after this win while Nantes remained on 25 points.This win was important for Strasbourg.
Lens lost points in a very important match by losing 3-1 against Nice, which they hosted at home.Although Nice started the league well, they had been performing poorly in recent weeks.I expected a reaction in this match and so it happened.They won away against an important opponent and with this win they managed to move one above their opponent.

Indeed Brest has put up a good fight this season to become were they are on the table but the truth is that staying on that position more longer is not certain because the competition on that position is getting stronger and in as much as Brest is on the second position of the table there are still other teams which are more stronger than them, so for now it only takes consistency for them to remain on the second position till the end of the season, I'm not saying that Brest is not on a good shape but what I'm saying is that there are more other teams that could possibly overtake them on the second position. So I wouldn't say they have the upper chance of wining there match against Lille because the last time they meet Lille they lost the match on the home of Lille so the probability of wining Lille on this match is not certain.

Brest have played some bad games this season, but I can say that they put up a good fight. Brest will go into the Lille game with a high level of concentration after their defeat against Lens. PSG have opened up the points difference but there are still nine weeks left in the league. They need to keep things tight. Lille, on the other hand, have problems defending against teams that like to play wide and it wouldn't be a surprise to see a similar display in this match. I think the hosts Brest will come out on top in a tough encounter.

In recent weeks, Montpellier have been taking risks and playing offensive football. This understanding of the game has brought them 7 points in the last 4 weeks. However, I can say that they do not inspire confidence in defense. Their opponents in this match are PSG, who are pressing the game and they have a very difficult task. The hosts Montpellier may not earn points by playing a closed football. But they can surprise if they play an up tempo game. 3 goals or more would be a good choice in this match.

Yes we all have no doubt how PSG which was previously only a small team transformed into a giant team after Nasser Al-Khelafi bought PSG in 2011, and now it seems that there is no season without a title for those who continue to dominate Ligue 1, but honestly for now I don't think Ligue 1 is an example of a league that can be an inspiration for anyone.  Because indeed we do not find any fierce competition in the league, I think for a team like PSG of course it is not difficult to achieve all their targets in the domestic league but not with European competition which has looked very difficult for them so far.

It doesn't have of fierce competition in Ligue 1 certainly will not make PSG have a fighter mentality when they have to play in the Champions League, we can even see for ourselves how Messi and Neymar managed to lead Barcelona to win the Champions League when they were still with Barcelona, and at that time Barcelona was certainly not as rich as PSG but their mentality has been very tested in the league because it competes with Madrid,  Atletico and other strong teams so they have no trouble when they have to face other teams in the Champions League, while PSG even failed to win when Messi, Neymar and Mbappe played together, because indeed their mentality has only been tested with mediocrity clubs such as Rennes, Reims and Toulouse so far so that when meeting with teams from other leagues it is clear their mentality will down,  so that's why PSG can't get the Champions League trophy so far.

Compared to other clubs, I think Lyon is one of the clubs that has shown quite good improvement. They were bad at the start of the season, but after they made a few changes, they were slowly able to find their best game, and that became a new hope for them, because at least they could still provide competition in the middle of the standings. The opportunity for them to continue to improve their position is also still quite open considering that the distance between the teams in points is not too far now and looking at the number of matches available, that is a sufficient number for them to be in an even better ranking.

But I myself wouldn't expect much, because seeing them show improvement is also a good thing. What is more important is that they must be able to maintain what they are showing now, because if they decline again in performance it will relegate them to a position that is no better in the standings. So they must be able to ensure they will be able to maintain their consistency in the game.

PSG is ranked first and they're doing everything to continue staying at the top table this season. They're not jeopardizing their opportunities and nailed the exact targets lined out. I consider the France Ligue One to be inspiring for mediocre teams but not for elite ones. Paris Saint-Germain have nailed the big winnings and they're doing everything to pulled stats against top clubs in the UEFA Champions League competition. That's were they're focusing because lifting the title will become one of the top accomplishments on their ends.

I agree about the Lyon, but one thing is positive as in first 16 games they have only 3 wins and as things were going mostly were prediction they are going to stay in danger zone for the long time, but suddenly we have big change and in last 10 games we have 7 wins from them with 3 loses, and they are improving after every match in last five games they have 4 wins and 1 lost which bring them to the top in performance for the last 5 rounds which is amazing.

With this performance now I am having feeling most chances they will be able to stay into top half of the league table which could be good end for them after staying into relegation zone for the all first half of the season with their defense is still one of the worst with conceding 40 goals into 26 games, and they need to fix this problem which are surely going to hurt them in future as well.

Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid in relationship for the years and during this time Real Madrid having impressive performance as well because they are having few top quality youngsters which are giving their best and having good contribution for the team success so with the entry of the Mbappé things will be stayed at the same level, or we will have problems it's not clear because most of the time we have things never been as we expected so for the real time better update and performance we have to wait for the Kylian Mbappé into team and his chemistry with the other players which are already settled and doing impressive job.

Currently, we have better depth between Vini and Jude Bellingham with few are giving them good support and things are really at the top but as Real Madrid management extended Carlos Ancelotti contract, and now they are waiting for the Mbappé this all will be give all in coming season is this going to be positive, or they are going to be faced something bad.

Of course having Kylian Mbappe is a big advantage because he is a quality player and has good potential at the club, especially at his young age his stamina is still very good if he is at the right club. Being at Real Madrid is also an advantage for Kylian Mbappe in supporting his career and also for his future if he continues to play well at Real Madrid then he will become an asset that Real Madrid is most proud of, just like Karim Benzema and also Cristiano Ronaldo who have been part of Real Madrid's success and I am confident in Mbappe's abilities in the future he will become a star player.

Any player who comes to Real Madrid will definitely be able to adapt quickly, like when Jude Bellingham came to Real Madrid, it didn't take long for him to be able to impress with Real Madrid, this is because the Real Madrid players have high solidarity and are able to work together well which makes club performs optimally in every match they play. If Mbappe is there he will definitely feel the same comfort because as far as I know there is no Real Madrid player who feels uncomfortable there and Mbappe's contribution is very important for Real Madrid to improve its attacks next season.

Lens was doing good and have chance for staying into top four for another season, but this stunning defeat gives them big setback because now chances are alive but not as they were going and Nice bring themselves into better spot for staying into top four which is good comeback from them even they are still needed performance like this in coming matches because usually we have teams are not consistent which create issues for them.

Today we are going to have two big games which are also going to have big impact on League table because Marseille is also doing good in last few matches after having poor season and Brest is also going to host Lille which is also giving their best for the jumping into top four Monaco is already in stable position for having their spot into top four, but we are going to watch good fight between few teams until end of the season because difference of points is not big between them.

This is a very decisive match for both of them, cz their positions will definitely change. And this time, unfortunately Lens was not been able to optimize the opportunities they had. In fact, statistically, they didn't lose. In fact, Lens was more dominating and attacking. Various attacks were attempted to break into Nice's goal. But, it turned out he couldn't. In fact, Nice's counterattack could quickly reverse the position. In this condition, it turns out that Lens is quite difficult. And in the end, Nice were truly able to conquer Lens with great pride.

In football, more goals than the opponent, means victory. whatever the process and how good statistic shows. it's just a matter of the goal created.

Kylian Mbappe over the years have been arguably the most important player in the Paris Saint Germaine squad and that's why I'm not surprised that the club was very reluctant to let him leave the club but the player who refused to sign a contract extension with the club obviously wants to leave the club and go to another big club that'll help him actualize his football dreams as a footballer. Of of those dreams is to win the UEFA Champions League trophy as a player and because of the fact that Real Madrid is the most successful club in the competition coupled with the fact that Real Madrid also have a quality squad that'll help him actualize him dreams, the French international is very keen ij joining Real Madrid after the end of the current season.
Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez have never hidden his admiration for Kylian Mbappe as he's always wanted to sign him before now and now that the player is ready to leave Paris Saint Germaine, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Fiorentino Perez from signing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid

In the French Soccer League today, Lens vs Nice two team match, Nice team won the match by scoring 3 goals. Lens team lost today's match due to the poor performance of Lens team players. Lens team could not score any goals before halftime. However, they scored 1 goal in 76 minutes. The game  Before the start I thought this match might be a draw but Lens team played very well for which Lens team won the match by 3 goals.

In the last five games, Nice has been unable to win a single as they have lost four and drew one of their last five games and this is actually an exhibition of weakness on their side, this night they seem to be managing to put up what looks like a good result against their opponent in the fixture they are playing tonight as they are already leading by a goal ahead which if they are able to hold till the end they will be winning this game.

The interesting part has to be in the fact that despite all this poor results so far, they have been able to still maintain their fourth position to still stay amongst the top four team which could possibly secure a champions league ticket by next season, Nice actually started this season so we'll they were at the second position at some point and was considered one of the best team in the Ligue 1 this season but then currently it seems the lost some of their form and are gradually trying to get back their form again but they are yet to get it completely.

It's pass the sixtieth minutes of the game and Nice is already leading by two goals so most likely this could be a winning game for them if they are able to really get to hold on to their goals without conceding UpTo two goals before the end of the game again. They will have to . make sure they keep their attack active while protecting their defense so they can get another goals before the end of the match while not conceding any.

Real Madrid team is one of the biggest team in the world right now and the number of young stars they have in the team is one of the most interesting things about the club and with the presence of Mbappe who will certainly play the role of a striker in the team there is going to be a perfect position for Vinicous Junior, Jude Bellingham who has been scoring from a free role position will have a good striker who will be doing the scoring if he doesn't score so i think Mbappe will definitely fit in the pattern of the club easily because he is a very talented player and with the quality of manger in the Madrid team there's no way Mbappe won't find things very easy under the management of Carlo Ancelotti.

After getting bad results in the last 5 matches they finished, Nice finally had the opportunity to win the match against Lens.  farioli used a good strategy in this match, he used a 4-3-3 strategy where he prioritized a thick defense, apart from that moffi also played well even though there were several opportunities that didn't become goals, this second half will definitely be very tough, lens really need full points in this match to continue to climb the rankings.

Mbappe seems to be plotted as a center forward, if Ancelotti uses Vinicius and Rodrygo in one lineup. Such experiments are very easy for Ancelotti, he is very experienced in placing players in different positions from the original. What is clear is that Mbappe was brought in with the aim of being able to replace the role left by Benzema, it seems he is quite ideal in that position.

Speculation about Mbappe future is still ongoing, and so far there has been no official statement. Recently, it was also rumored that Hakimi would leave PSG to move to Madrid, I believe this could make PSG weaker in competing in the Champions League. Enrique must look for suitable players if both players leave in one transfer window.

Overall, PSG bargaining value in Ligue 1 remains the same although Mbappe leaves, they are still quite easy to win the domestic trophy every season. But things could be different in the Champions League, PSG will have difficulty competing with elite teams if they don't recruit players close to Mbappe quality. Enrique looks like he will reshuffle his main squad next season.

Kylian who has been on the mouth of media outlets as news about his transfer is a major source of revenue more especially for media outlets. No one knew where he’ll be headed especially after not giving in to Madrid since over 2 seasons. He’s had a dream of playing for the Los Blancos side but let’s just say he wasn’t ready to offer his services to the club. His services to the club was greatly needed and I think right now, he’s now ready to offer his services and I think his move to the Spanish club will be able to help him attain some individual accolades for himself.

 Kylian is one kind of player who plays an entertaining football but yet doesn’t fail to deliver anytime he’s called up on to do so. And for the spanish side who’re in need of a good striker, I think Kylian will be a perfect fit for that position and it’ll be a laudable experience seeing him in the white shirt. For Real Madrid fans, this news is one very big news that they dearly appreciates and can’t wait to see the French captain play and offer his services to the club. I also know and believe the players at Real Madrid are ready to welcome the striker and work with him to achieve greAtly for the club.

 PSG who are at the losing ends are all out already to get a replacement for him and I wish they’ll be able to go easy on the process of getting the replacement as Kylian replacement might not be at his level right now and will need the right tutorship to get to that A level. This is one big factor PSG should consider as they will be saving lots of money signing a less cheaper player with grwat potentials. I wish Mbappe luck in his new career path as he should also learn to himble himself in the Spanish club and I also wish PSG luck to in their search for a replacement.
