The competitive level of Ligue 1, which is easy for PSG, makes it difficult for them in the Champions League when they face clubs who play in better and more experienced leagues. Even though PSG has better squad depth than Barcelona, mentally it is true that PSG still loses when under pressure. Mbappe can't do much alone, if the other players don't have the same mentality as him. Still, there is a possibility that they can break predictions and be able to qualify for the semi-finals by beating Barcelona.

If you say mbappe as PSG mainstay in Ligue 1 then I totally agree with you, but expect mbappe to get the Champions League trophy?
Sorry comrade I think it will be very difficult to achieve, we do not doubt the quality of Mbappe as a striker in Ligue 1, but in the Champions League I believe he will lose to players like Lewandowski and Vinicius Junior at the moment, Mbappe does not have a strong mentality when playing in Europe and not only Mbappe but almost all PSG players do not seem to have a winning mentality when playing in the Champions League because their mentality is not tested With fierce competition and also competitive during this time.

I think nobody doubts that PSG will win their first Champions League trophy when there are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe but in fact PSG still fail to win their Champions League trophy, so, what should we expect with Mbappe, when the best players in the world cant to help PSG?
The Champions League draw has been completed and Barcelona will be their opponents in the quarter-finals, so let's see how far Psg this season will go with Mbappe for the last time..?

Well I don't think osimhen is to be compared with mbappe, mbappe is very skillful and intelligent player that every Coach will wish to have as part of his squad , although I'm not saying that osimhen performance is not good, honestly mbappe is way more better than him either,I could imagine how PSG will cope after losing this world class player, because he has been a great impact to the team.

PSG team is in very good form at the moment. PSG did not perform well in the Champions League group stage matches. I would say they were very lucky to qualify for the knockout round. However, PSG played very well in both the Round of 16 matches. PSG team dominated and won both matches against Real Sociedad. PSG's overall gameplay was very good in both these matches.

I don't consider the PSG team to be favorites for the Champions League. However, there is nothing surprising if PSG won the Champions League title this season. The PSG team will play against Barcelona in the quarter finals. Although Barcelona is not a weak team, Barcelona's performance this season is very erratic. Hence, if PSG can perform well, they have a great chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.



The Barcelona vs PSG match will be held on April 9. Luis Enrique has plenty of time to strengthen his squad. To fix the weaknesses of the squad.

Mbappe is a player that PSG can rely on to win the only title that PSG has not been able to achieve is the UCL together with Mbappe, but PSG's current performance is not only good in League 1 but PSG's performance is also good in the UCL. I think Mbappe wants to make an achievement was good in every competition he played with PSG for the last time, it would be great if PSG could win the UCL trophy even though it is very difficult for PSG but nothing is impossible if the team is able to fight hard to achieve maximum results I hope PSG can get through it well in his final season with Mbappe.

In today's opening match, Lyon will be challenged by hosts Toulouse in the 26th week of Ligue One and Lyon should be able to win and steal 3 points in the away match. Previously, Lyon proved their consistency by achieving several wins including beating Nice and fighting against teams below them should not be difficult. I think they will still win even with a narrow score and they have to be careful this time considering that Toulouse is only 2 points away from them.

On the other hand, the bookie gives odds that are not much different and from this we know that the two teams are actually quite even and it will be very difficult for us to guess the result. Statistically the two teams are not much different and this will be a fierce match. But I still believe in the predictions I have said above and it is impossible for Lyon to lose. They still have high self-esteem in a competition that can make their name big and they need full points so they can move up from their current position.

What are your predictions? Is there a possibility that a draw could occur?

well, this is the right statement even though Mbappe leaves PSG, this team will still dominate the league 1 title from the quality of PSG players who have better quality and I wouldn't be surprised if many say PSG won't lose the league 1 title even if they lose Mbappe because large finances can always provide better quality for the team so even if you only rely on existing players you will still get good achievements but will not be able to get a prestigious title.
I also don't agree if Osimhen is at PSG but I'm just very worried that Osimhen career to improve his talent will only stop in league 1 because as we can see PSG will only look strong in league 1 but in the UCL it always fails even though getting lots of great players will not affect whatever.

I also don't think Osimhen is as big player as Mbappe right now. He is one of the most important players for Napoli of course. But we should see Osimhen performing at bigger teams than Napoli first to see what he can do in that situation. If he still continues to be very productive about scoring goals then his quality will be appreciated by many more people. 

When Mbappe joins Real Madrid he will take a big step in his career. This would surely be a big help for him to become one of the legends with many successes. Being able to win only the Ligue 1 title isn't good enough for a player like him. He would make use of bigger titles than this such as the Champions League and so on.

Regarding Kylian Mbappe's replacement at PSG, the club probably won't be too worried about it not only because this club has fantastic financial resources but also because the competition in Ligue 1 is not as tight as in the English Premier League or Laliga will make it easier because players with a playing level below Mbappe will still appear brilliant here, what this means is that a strong team has great dominance.

However, I don't agree that Victor Osimhen is at the same level as Mbappe, this Nigerian player still has to develop himself further, as proven this season he can't do much at Napoli, but if he is Mbappe's replacement, he will adapt quickly at PSG, and will become the club's new star, especially if he has a reliable midfielder who can provide good passes for him to score goals.

Kylian Mbappe is a star player and it is not easy for PSG to buy players who have the same level as Mbappe unless PSG recruits one of the players you mentioned above, they are also star players in their respective leagues but to buy them from that club is not easy because they are at a big club that is more promising than PSG. The only one that PSG can reach to get one of these strikers is Victor Oshimen from Napoli as long as PSG can meet the conditions from the club to recruit this player because Napoli is not a big club like Manchester City and Real Madrid so it is not difficult enough for PSG to buy the player.

If PSG doesn't buy a player who is equal to Mbappe, I'm not sure PSG can still defend the title in League 1 because in my opinion it is the Mbappe factor that makes PSG appear strong in League 1. When Mbappe not yet at PSG and was still in Monaco PSG had difficulty competing in League 1 and Monaco won the title while Mbappe was still there, therefore PSG bought Mbappe from Monaco and the impact was always to win the League 1 title because we know Mbappe's role is what is very important. If PSG aims to be at a level below Mbappe, I think PSG will have difficulty competing in League 1 and also the Champions League in next season.

Mbappe has been with PSG's squad for a long time. And Mbappe is the most important player in PSG's squad. The PSG team is very dependent on Mbappe. So if Mbappe is not with the squad, the effect is seen in PSG's overall performance. Luis Enrique is trying to stabilize PSG's performance without Mbappe. But so far he has not succeeded. Hopefully he will be able to gradually stabilize the team without Mbappe.

Luis Enrique needs to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. And since PSG management has a lot of money, and PSG management is not stingy with spending money, I guess Luis Enrique can add the player of his choice to the squad as Mbappe's replacement. Personally I think we won't see much of a decline in PSG's performance next season without Mbappe.

Without a doubt, it will be a bit of a blow for PSG to be left without Mbappé because the games with him were easier, with Luis Enrique things can get more complicated, he has the habit of only looking for young players and if he manages to do things like him He wants to have a very renewed and quite strong team in PSG, Luis Enrique really likes to form his teams with players without experience and that is something he always likes to experiment with , that is something he did with the Spanish team and the truth is that The result was not very satisfactory because even Japan eliminated them, and it was for that reason that the young players without experience greatly affect the team's performance, and the fact that their star is leaving, because Mbappé is a star, so this It can generate many inconsistencies in the Team.

The thing is, what players can he bring in that have that quality? Until now the most outstanding have always been Haaland, Messi, CR7, the rest I don't see that there are others who are good at it, for me the star players, unless they go all out for Haaland, and I find that very difficult, Because if Madrid is looking for him I think the Norwegian will leave or will prefer to go to Madrid rather than go to a French team, things can look like this, I know they have a lot of money, but who can they hire? young talents, in the under 20 that can be seen in Brazil, Argentina, it is the only one that I can see, the rest I don't see anywhere else.

PSG has many things that can improve, and that can Happen at any time, they have a new coach, and so far I see that he has a lot of character, which I like, that is the only thing that team was missing, according to everything that has been revealed, he lacked the help of a coach who could make himself felt.

'Magnificent, super!' - France boss Didier Deschamps happy to see Kylian Mbappe benched by PSG boss Luis Enrique

This is very curious on the part of Deschamps, something that almost no one expected.

Yes indeed, basically PSG has very good finances so of course, we will be able to assume that PSG will be easy to bring in talented players. But unfortunately, the reality is that to build a team to be strong and good it still requires good management too, so that all the factors can be built and improved properly. Because after all, the proof, even though PSG has the finances, but PSG also always fails in the Champion League and that proves, that PSG still needs a big change. So yes, maybe next season PSG will be even better because Mbappe left and that doesn't make PSG dependent on just one player. Although indeed, I also realize that any result can happen next season even without Mbappe, but I personally still believe that to get good results in Ligue 1, then it looks like PSG is still able to do it.

PSG is a team that has quite large finances when compared to its rivals in Ligue1, so PSG could be targeting new, talented players to replace Mbappe who will go to another team. Although if we talk about the quality of each player, it will certainly be very different because it is very difficult to find talented players with the same quality as the players who have left. In Ligue1 PSG will still be a strong team even without Mbappe because here their opponents are not that much stronger than PSG, but what will be a problem for PSG is when they have to play in the UCL next season.

The league is about wrapping up and now we’ve got teams all chasing up for a spot in the UCL next season. In some leagues, we’ve still got huge battles going down for who takes the league. The competition for going to the UCL is always one fun time as when clubs are tied with close points, the competition between them gets interesting and the pressure can either help the team or destroy their hopes by making them lose points. The UCL is one competition that so many want a participation because of how high players hold this competition.This is Europe’s most elite competition and most players consider a club playing in such competition as top priority before giving in to signing for the club. The funds also that comes for participating in this competition is also needed by most clubs too, as we know how essential funds are to building a club.

After all these said, we focus on the French League and shift our focus to those who want to go to the UCL. We already know Psg to win this league as they’re points clear off Brest who sits 2nd. The main competition is for the other 2 spots which we’ve got about 3-4 teams all in contention. This is the kind of competition we want to see and we wish it could be extended to competing for the league title. Currently we’ve Brest and Monaco in 2nd and 3rd respectively and closest competition happens to be Lens and Lile. Many would want to see Brest and Monaco already grabbing tickets but for me I feel the fight isn’t over yet. Yes I said so especially as we saw brest losing out to Lile over the weekend.

 Loss of points like this can put Brest under massive pressure and they can be overtaken by Lens or Lile. Monaco too aren’t fully safe as they must try to be at optimum performance to be able to get a spot next season. The clubs must know that any point lost now will be jeopardizing their hopes of UCL football next season. I would want to see Lile and Monaco join PSG as French representatives as the UCL is one competition that requires expertise and these clubs have the expertise to at least put up a performance in the UCL as compared to Brest or Lens.

If you think Monaco can win easily against Lorient, then you might be wrong. There is no team that should be underestimated in Ligue 1 even though some of them look weak based on their team's performance. Lorient have won 3 of their last 5 matches and that is a sign that they are not worth underestimating even though Monaco is better.

Of course Monaco could take over second place in the standings if Brest dropped points against Lille. Brest and Lille both failed to win in their last matches, but this match will be very difficult to predict considering that both of them hope to get full points to secure the Champions League zone. Brest is clearly under pressure, of course because they don't want to lose two matches in a row.

I think for domestic competitions like the French Cup, PSG will look very dominant, there are no big worries even though in the previous few matches they were unstable. If faced with the pressure of the Champions League, it is possible that Enrique will not see the French Cup as a serious competition, even though they can win it by fielding second-tier players. Enrique will of course focus more on the Champions League and Ligue 1.

All the players in the PSG squad can shine if Mbappe leaves the club, because Mbappe prestige and influence on the team is an obstacle for other players to shine. That doesn't mean Mbappe has to leave, but that is the only way for other players to shine, because they cannot surpass Mbappe skill and performance.

I predict PSG will qualify for the final, and will potentially face Lyon there. It can be said that PSG will add to their trophy collection again, because Rennes and Lyon do not have the strength to overthrow PSG, they need a miracle to beat the Ligue 1 giants.

I agree with you because English league is very difficult that people can hardly know the exact club that could possibly win the trophy because almost all the teams are equal in terms of there performance, for instance Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are currently on the competition of whom will become the champion of the league but with there performances you can only predict but can never be certain on the particular team that will win the league but in this French league, from day one of the league we can easily be able to identify the best suitable club for the trophy which is PSG.

Against Nice so far it has not been a difficult game for PSG and even without Mbappe playing in that game I think PSG will win, but even so still Mbappe in that the match can be the difference and with the quality he has it does not take long time for PSG to be able to score in that game, With a 3-1 victory over Nice it makes PSG now closer to their 15th French Cup trophy this season, while PSG this season still has the opportunity to win three trophies,because in addition has advancing the semifinals of the French Cup, PSG also managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and of course the Ligue 1 trophy which is now in their grasp.

At the moment PSG will only play one more game before they go to the final and against Rennes who do not seem to be a strong enough team for PSG in the semi-finals, I personally am quite sure if PSG will be able to overcome Rennes easily and will wait for Lyon in the final later and maybe the final match will be an exciting match but in terms of quality possessed by PSG of course they are most likely to beat Lyon and enter the trophy trophy France to their closet this season.

It's no surprise that Kylian Mbappe has guided PSG to the French Cup semifinals once again. He's always reliable. It looks like PSG could add a few more trophies to their collection this season. The only concern is their inconsistent performance. So, there's a worry that they might face a shock defeat against Rennes in the French Cup semifinals on April 3.

Mbappe's potential exit from PSG could pave the way for Ramos to step up and make his mark.
