PSG have a good record and believe they will be stronger after replacing this player but I don't see any truth in this, if all these players help each other, it will become stronger. But I doubt for him not to win the title because he is too strong and high performing to not win the title. But they can certainly get to the end of it. PSG will face Bayern Munich in their next match in which they will face a sure defeat. They will have to work hard to compete against Bayern Munich.
Why you had to state it that it's going to be a sure defeat for PSG is what I don't want to agree with last week before the international break, we saw how big teams lost to smaller team and here we are talking about above average teams going against each other, and anticipated draw wouldn't be a bad taught after all but assuming a sure win for one of the team could be an anticipated disappointment as it may turn out differently. Their domestic league isn't looking like a problem to them except the champions League which they still can do well before it ends.

The difference between the premier league and french league is too big, there aren't many clubs that can challenge for the title in the french league and that's why PSG are always winning even when they're not playing at their best.
You're right, the difference is very high. EPL, look, how high their competition is up to 6th position and there are many top big clubs in the league. It means that every time there is UCL, there are several clubs that are always feared. While in the French Ligue, there is only PSG that is that strong, there has not been a balanced match in this Ligue 1. Even Marseille and Monaco, they still can't hold PSG to that level. PSG still dominates Ligue 1.Another bad news from LYON, and also quite bad news for this top 5 Ligue 1 club. And, this club finally entered Ligue 2.
"Lyon Heavily Sanctioned Amid Severe Debt Crisis"
Actually this has been quite a while, but this time everything is very clear. While LYON is fighting to be in 5th position and higher to enter the UCL. But all this is over, yes it's over for Lyon in Ligue 1.

In addition, the teams in the French League are not like the teams in the English Premier League (EPL), many clubs compete to become champions, sometimes small teams are able to beat big teams. Currently PSG is six points ahead of Monaco which means PSG will win the League One trophy again this season, although the season is still long, but Monaco will have difficulty catching up with the six-point gap. Unless Monaco is six points ahead, maybe they have the spirit in every match so as not to lose points.
The difference between the premier league and french league is too big, there aren't many clubs that can challenge for the title in the french league and that's why PSG are always winning even when they're not playing at their best. They sold their best player and some other good players that were in the team yet they're still leading the french league with 6 points and 23 goals difference. Monaco can't keep up with PSG but if this was to be the premier league, you'll see other big 6 teams chasing the league with the top team which is Manchester city. PSG in the French league is unbeaten this season and they might go unbeaten too as I don't see any team winning them.

In last season, we have impressive Brest in top 3 spots which allow them for having spot into Champions League where currently they are undefeated, but things are not well for them in Ligue 1 as they have 6 defeats from their 11 games which put them into middle of the league table in this season they have problems in attack as in last 5 games they have 7 points and their attack is making things worst for them.
In this game against Montpellier they lost badly with this was second win for bottom side which is having no impact on their spot, but surely this is huge setback for the Brest which is trying to make things better for remaining part of this season even their chances are not good enough for having spot into top four again if they keep playing like this for again without improving their quality and bringing good attacking strategy.
I would guess that when a team does better than expected, mainly that is almost always temporary and not that consistent. We have seen so many teams, from so many leagues, that does well for a season and in the end they end up with nothing at all and I believe that we are going to end up with something not so profitable for most of the time.In this game against Montpellier they lost badly with this was second win for bottom side which is having no impact on their spot, but surely this is huge setback for the Brest which is trying to make things better for remaining part of this season even their chances are not good enough for having spot into top four again if they keep playing like this for again without improving their quality and bringing good attacking strategy.
I believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just making sure that we are not seeing this team get terrible. Because there are cases where these teams not only go from great to mediocre, but actually get to terrible level. Like literally relegation level and I do not think that it would be wise to do something like that, they should try to do a bit decently at least, that's where the money is. If they keep playing terribly then they are not going to get anything good, and that makes no sense, they could use this UCL money and the future to make themselves a consistently better team if they use their cards right.
There have been a lot of teams in recent history who have become terrible and being actually really good. We even have seen a lot of teams face that problem when they had a change of Manager. Even teams like Manchester United which had a really good history. And now it looks like history is the only thing they can talk about because the present is not good for them. And actually, I will say that it is very hard to say what will happen at what point.
In the last season, they have finished in the third position. The season before that they have finished in the 14th position if I am not wrong. And now in this season, they are in the closed position. It has been quite a roller coaster for them. I wish they will be able to improve their performance quickly.

Why getting worried over spilled milk. Mbappe is gone for good and it's high time PSG faces reality and look for how they can get a good replacement for Mbappe, so that they can strengthen the club with the players that they have for the continuity of winning the title always, and also focus on how they can win UCL some dsy.
What you suggest is actually quite right because PSG does not need to think about Mbappe anymore for this season because PSG only needs to think about how to live this season as well as possible and must be willing to take advantage of the transfer market at the beginning of next year to target some of the best players they want. Because PSG only finds it difficult to get the UCL trophy, while for the trophy in Ligue 1 I think PSG can still fight quite relaxed in terms of getting it because in Ligue 1 only PSG has more strength so PSG is still able to get the trophy here.Now that all their star players have left, it is getting harder to compete in the Champions League. Even so, they are still quite superior to League 1, and are predicted to be able to win the League 1 trophy easily without any obstacles, considering that they do not have any worthy competitors.
So in my opinion, Enrique's current goal is not to focus on chasing the UCL trophy but to focus on building the foundation first so that one day they can compete with other teams in the Champions League. It was proven in yesterday's transfer market, they did not buy star players, they did not even shop for players like Enrique who wanted to utilize academy players.

I also don't understand why people are still discussing Mbappe's times at PSG. He has left, end of story. 
PSG doesn't need him to win titles. They can still continue to dominate the Ligue 1 very easily. When it comes to the Champions League, they can still be competitive for the title. It all depends on how strong you are as a team. One man can't save the day for you all the time. There is no such kind of a mentality in modern football.
It also funny me when I see any discussion about him, maybe the discussion do start whenever PSG lost or draw a game in the Champions League because he used to be the main man in their squad that do give them confidence in the Champions league back then.PSG doesn't need him to win titles.

The team really misses him because they have to start building a strong team work after he left, and it will affect them in some games even though the league 1 is still in their control, but their dominance has reduced because they do drop some points they are not supposed to have dropped. Monaco is another team that has improved, therefore PSG need to be very careful this season because Monaco can be a tough title contenders with them.

They actually had a good teamwork at the beginning of the season but they can't reflect that onto the Champions League yet. It is a pretty bad start and their next game is against Bayern Munich away. 
Gradually, the players will get used to each other and their team work will start working for them in the Champions League. However, this season’s Champions League is not for them because I don’t think they will go far in the Champions league this season.

There are three promoted teams this season in Ligue 1 and in fact, only Auxerre has managed to be in the middle of the table. As for the other two teams, Angers and St Etienne have the same points tally of 10, and they are currently in the bottom zone of the table. But indeed, about Auxerre who basically won the Ligue 2 trophy last season, still managed to have a good performance in competing in Ligue 1 this season, despite their status as a promotion team. But, so far Auxerre only has a good winning record at home, while for away matches that Auxerre still often loses away from home. But yes, at least as a promotion team then of course, with the success of Auxerre in the middle of the standings it is also still a good result for them, at least it will stay in Ligue 1 and not be relegated again.

Bayern Munich, who are in 17th place in the standings, must maintain their position to be able to advance to the play-off round, because a defeat or draw in this match could make Bayern Munich drop to the bottom of the standings and out of the play-off zone.
Likewise with PSG, who are currently in 25th place in the standings, from the four matches that have been played, PSG have only been able to achieve one win, one draw and the rest have experienced defeat. They have only been able to collect 4 points for the time being. And that puts PSG in the relegation zone. So this match against Bayern Munich is very important to continue the hope of advancing to the next round.

One of the reasons PSG is able to stay firmly at the top of the Ligue 1 standings from season to season is because no team in Ligue 1 is able to have stable and consistent performance throughout the season. So, even though sometimes at the beginning of the season there are other teams that are able to be at the top of the standings, but over time that team will also lose its consistency. Thus, PSG will always succeed in being able to return to the top of the standings. Although indeed, at least when Mbappe left at that time, at least made me curious at first, whether PSG would still remain solid at the top of the standings or maybe fail. But yes, the fact is that PSG still managed to get the Ligue 1 trophy again this season even without Mbappe.
True. Indeed, PSG is a good club but they are actually not that strong, this can be seen if they play in European competitions. But they can dominate League One because their competitors are not consistent and in terms of squad they are not comparable to PSG. That is why even though PSG lost star players, they still dominate League One because they have built a foundation from several years ago.In addition, the teams in the French League are not like the teams in the English Premier League (EPL), many clubs compete to become champions, sometimes small teams are able to beat big teams. Currently PSG is six points ahead of Monaco which means PSG will win the League One trophy again this season, although the season is still long, but Monaco will have difficulty catching up with the six-point gap. Unless Monaco is six points ahead, maybe they have the spirit in every match so as not to lose points.

Mbappe is an incredible player with incredible talent that PSG have ever found, but it's time for PSG to forget about him at the moment, what we expected before may not have seen happening in Madrid yet, but over time of course Mbappe will find his way in Madrid once he can adapt, his potential and ability are undoubted and we can see how he has proven himself as one of the best players in the world with his very significant contribution at PSG previously, I think we can't equate a team like Madrid with PSG which has been dependent on one previous player in every match, so inevitably every player has to support Mbappe in their attacking line, in contrast with Madrid who actually has several quality attacker and can give strong competition for Mbappe at this time, So it is quite natural that his first season in Madrid did not live up to the expectations expected by many people today.
What is certain is that the competition in League 1 and La Liga is very different so that at PSG he can appear like a professional star player with a high number of scores.Unfortunately this is not just about Mbappe's replacement or also not about how PSG is currently performing. But the most important thing is that PSG must learn to produce new talents from the young players they have and try to produce reliable players from a younger age.
In that way, PSG can continue to dominate League 1 because they have a good way of managing players. And I think now is the time to forget about Mbappe in League 1 and it would be better to focus on building a stable performance without relying on certain players.

Paris Saint Germain is too strong in Ligue 1, so I can't see any comparisons that can be made with other teams in Ligue 1. Not to underestimate the teams in Ligue 1, but we can see for ourselves what the differences are like. In terms of finance, Paris Saint Germain is very strong, in terms of player composition Paris Saint Germain also has good players, they even once had a very luxurious player composition. It will be a different story when we see them in the Champions League because there are many teams like them. And even when they have a luxurious squad, they also can't get what they want all this time, which is to become champions in the Champions League.
Except if a Saudi or Qatari-based company decides to invest in any other French League club, PSG might keep dominating. I mentioned these Middle Eastern countries because they have the guts to spend money on clubs without considering how to recover the investment. I also assume that the reason why investors are not putting more money into the Ligue One might be because of their limited Champions League slots. Before now only two teams qualified directly to the group stage while the third-placed club will go through a preliminary round and then a play-off to qualify for the group stage. But with the increased slots to three and the fourth engaging in playoff, we might see more investors in the future.

Monaco's two consecutive defeats have widened the gap on PSG, but a 3-1 win over Strasbourg has restored their confidence to return to the top. The international break will give them time to refine their game plan. Hopefully, after the international break, AS Monaco can return to their best form to be able to reclaim the top spot.
And the distance is now 6 points, Monaco decline is really unexpected in getting two defeats but do you believe Monaco will be able to improve the situation again by occupying the top position in the standings?If PSG still continue to perform consistently and get victory after victory every week then I think even though Monaco performs impressively it is still impossible to surpass PSG, only luck can help Monaco, maybe expecting PSG to get series of defeats will be the only chance that can help Monaco.
Yes, let's say Monaco is back on track after they lost twice against Nice and Angers. proven, Manaco performed well again in UCL defeating Bologna, and defeating Strasbourg with a score of 1-3. against Brest, on paper Monaco should be able to get full points. although, in football there are often surprises. moreover, Balogun seems to still have to be absent in some of his matches. after that Manaco will face Benfica, and that won't be easy. against Marseille then Arsenal in UCL. their upcoming matches won't be easy, the teams they face have a chance to defeat AS Manaco. but let's assume Manaco is able to overcome it, that means the match against PSG will be a crucial match. if they want to compete tightly for the top of the Lique 1 standings, that means Manaco must sweep all their matches until they meet PSG in week 16. or, at least PSG must slip in some of their matches. thus, Manaco has the opportunity to reduce the points difference between them. unfortunately, it won't be easy. I doubt Manaco will be able to overtake the ranking occupied by PSG, but we will see how these teams go through each match, especially for Ligue 1.

Currently at PSG it doesn't feel like getting a replacement for mbappe is primary as they are even doing well in their domestic league except for champions League which we all know and been a dream for them all this years but I still don't find that as a reason to think there's a crucial need, literally they have got some good players helping the team do well alongside the coach only that they don't have a natural striker like mbappe just yet which we cannot be expecting they get someone exactly like him actually but with time they will get back some form of stability especially at the UCL but for their domestic league, they are still doing great.PSG management is rich. They have a lot of money. And if they want, they can spend a lot of money and add experienced players to their squad. But I think now PSG management is planning for the long term. PSG has given the responsibility of forming a stable squad to an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. And Luis Enrique is working towards this goal.
Luis Enrique has formed a squad with young players. There are few experienced players in the squad. However, if these young players of PSG are a little experienced, they will be able to perform better in the future. PSG's performance on the Champions League platform is still irregular. However, PSG's players are able to perform well in Ligue 1. Coach Luis Enrique is probably not thinking about replacing Mbappe yet.

Well, we all know that the quality of PSG players compared to players on other teams in league 1, PSG is much better. But the problem is that it only applies to league 1. I mean when PSG has quality players, but those players are very easy to contribute to getting the title or dominating league 1. While in the UCL, PSG is still very far from being able to pursue the title because it requires several experienced players and needs the right coach to be able to bring PSG to a higher level.

On paper it should be like that, Monaco can easily win over Brest. However, all of that is just an advantage on paper that cannot guarantee 100% that they will be able to win easily like that. What determines it is their own game on the field. They must show their best to be able to win this match. In addition, Brest also did not come to lose, they will also definitely try their best to be able to get points from this match, at least they are targeting 1 point for them to take home in this match. Although Brest is not in a good condition because they suffered a series of previous defeats, they will also definitely try hard.
In football, there is nothing certain but we also have to look realistically and it cannot be denied that Monaco has a very large percentage to be able to win the match against Brest and they are also better than them in everything so it is only natural that Monaco has a large percentage to win the match.So far we can see that Brest's performance has been very poor since the beginning of the season and even they are now in 12th place with only being able to collect 13 points while Monaco started this season very well, they are now at the top and ready to compete for the title so I think the match between the two teams will not be fierce because of the significant difference in quality and if there is no big surprise then Monaco will be able to win this match easily.
