Sometimes it's possible we pass messages in the wrong words with a different intent as we have people from different countries on this forum and it's possible we all are not original English speakers so it's possible there could be mixups with application of words, phrase and other tenses but getting the intent behind such message is most important.

Mbappes stay in PSG is at this point not very sure because there hasn't been any solid conclusion as it regards if he's staying back after this season or he's leaving and there have been several bids on his movement but he's yet to accept or sign any new deal, although this is from my news gathered few weeks back I don't know if in recent times there have been changes. There have been many circumstances around his movement by the end of the season and I think it will be more clear by the end of the season then we would know if he's staying back at PSG or moving els where.

It's true that Strasbourg didn't perform well, but if we look back at yesterday's match we will realize that Strasbourg was able to apply pressure even though in terms of ball control it was very different from PSG, but just look at how many times Strasbourg tried to attack, kicking the ball towards PSG goal even though it wasn't on target. but that could make it a little difficult for PSG to score a bigger score.
I felt that PSG victory yesterday seemed unsatisfactory. If Mbappe had been unlucky when the Strasbourg goalkeeper made a mistake, maybe the score would have ended in a draw because we'll see after Mbappe scored after that he was no longer able to score, only able to provide 1 assist.

even if won against Strasbourg, I think the performance still needs to be improved because otherwise with a performance like this, it won't be easy to compete in the UCL, while the competition in the UCL is very tough and there is an opportunity for Enrique if he really wants to prove that he can repeat history like when he was coach of Barcelona and won the title to PSG in the UCL to silence the bad criticism about him.

Ok so you were not saying that Mbappe could die anytime soon I guess because you were talking about the uncertainty of whether he will survive or not. I am not sure why you are talking about his health or a deadly disease when there are no news on the internet to be found that he is deadly ill. As far as I know he is in great condition and if he was ill and could die I think it would have long been public news. That's why I was surprised why you are talking about his life soon perhaps coming to an end. But maybe you were talking about his contract at PSG and then used the word "survive"? It is pretty weird though.

That's what I consider, although PSG can guarantee victory but still, it is not easy for PSG to win big against Strasbourg. Yes indeed, it is true that Strasbourg did not play badly in this match because obviously, Strasbourg had a very good effort to be able to provide strong resistance in this match but unfortunately, PSG was still too strong for Strasbourg. But yes, with results like this too then I think, it looks like PSG will get satisfaction when it has 2 goals because ya, in the match against Brest and in this match against Strasbourg also PSG conceded after having 2 goals. Therefore, it is likely that PSG will reduce the intensity of their attacks after having two goals and therefore, PSG still conceded and did not manage to win with a clean sheet.

PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen.

 They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals.
 

That's the point, in Ligue 1 there is no club that is comparable to Paris Saint Germain, they are the only club that has everything, from players, finances and much more.
Yes, the advantages they have cannot be separated from their excellent finances, unlike other clubs. However, if they were in the Champions League, it would be a different story, even in the Chmpions League I see them as an ordinary club that can be compared to the big 4 in domestic competitions in Europe.
They don't know how to use the advantages the brand has, that's the problem. When they have a lot of money, they waste it by buying lots of star players. with what they did, did it bring them a prestigious achievement? not really.

I think Rashford's joining PSG side is depending on whether Mbappe leaves the team as well. Because it is still not clear whether Mbappe will leave or not.

In case Mbappe announces his leaving at the end of the season then PSG would like to find a talented player to fill his place. Rashford is one of the alternatives on paper. But his inconsistent performances over the years might also make PSG officials worried. I'm really curious about how things will go about transfers the most for PSG. 

After Paris Saint Germaine failed to beat Brest at the Parc des Princes last week, I started seeing posts from different people who were already doubting the strength and capability of the reigning French champions in retaining the league title at the end of the season but I had a contrary view.
Paris Saint Germaine is easily the best and strongest team in the French Ligue 1 and the quality of players in the team makes them almost unplayable whenever they're at their best. I don't expect them to possess the kind of intimidating quality players the current have and not win the the league title this season. Yesterday at Strasbourg, the club's top scorer Kylian Mbappe scored a goal while summer signing Marco Asensio scored the other goal to help the visitors beat their host and further extend their lead at the top of the French league standings.

you are wrong, if NICE wins then the difference in points between PSG and NICE is only 5, to shift PSG's position is of course impossible, there are only 14 matches left in the future, time feels very fast, and we will definitely see PSG become league champions 1 again.
In the Champions League, PSG is a pretty tough team. They will face Sociedad in the 1st leg of Real Sociedad. They shouldn't underestimate PSG. They also have to be able to maintain the fitness of their players, don't let them get injured before the UCL leg 1 match starts.

PSG 2-1  Strasbourg

it was definitely a very funny game in my opinion, both teams wasted a lot of opportunities, but PSG completely dominated that game, mbappe missed the penalty and the way the Strasbourg fans celebrated when mbappe missed the penalty was very funny, I regret it Being a PSG fan, I couldn't contain myself and started laughing at that situation. After PSG missed the penalty, they kept the pressure on against Strasbourg and another very funny moment in the game came, I'm talking about this:



 

it was a serious mistake that the Strasbourg goalkeeper made and mbappe was at the right moment and scored a goal that put PSG in front, it is not the first time that mbappe has scored a goal like that, it seems that he is very lucky to be in the right moments and make the most of these opportunities. With the advantage, PSG continued to put pressure on Strasbourg's defense and managed to score the second goal, which Asensio scored. In my opinion, Asensio made a good choice when going to PSG, but Strasbourg managed to score a goal and were very close to scoring the equalizer, which showed some slight weakness in PSG's defense

It's true that PSG's goalkeeper, Donnarumma, did very well in that game, he managed to save PSG. but I still see PSG being a weak team if they want to win the European champions league, the transfer window was open and I didn't see PSG having made any big signings, I don't know what the PSG coach and management are thinking, maybe they have gave up on the European Champions League and will only focus on fighting to get where they can in the European Champions League and focus on Ligue 1. That could be it, because this squad can't win European competitions

A points gap is increasingly forming on the Ligue 1 standings, for now Nice is already 9 points adrift of PSG. There is a possibility that Nice will draw against Brest tomorrow, if that happens then PSG will be lucky without having to fight too hard. It cannot be denied that in Ligue 1 PSG can be very relaxed enjoying the competition, there is no serious pressure from their competitors at the domestic level. Mbappe will continue to increase his goal tally as the season progresses, even though speculation about his future continues to be discussed. Luis Enrique was calm enough to coach his team in his first season, what is difficult for him is competing in the Champions League.

For PSG they now have 10 more matches left, and I think they can secure points in the remaining matches and win the trophy again. Now PSG has collected 47 points from 20 matches, if they can finish the remaining matches smoothly, they can get an additional 30 points in the future. It is true that it is too early to say everything about their chances, but that is the reality of the competition so far in Ligue 1, all of which is very favorable for PSG.

PSG should be keep consistent performance if they're keen on winning major titles. Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty in the early minutes of the the game, though all hope was not lost because Paris Saint-Germain mount more pressure on their opponents, the score but it was a slime chance for them after Strasbourg struggle to equalized but got denied by the formidable defendlines drawn by Luis Enrique men. This is not the time for PSG to give reason or believe for their opponents, they're keen on winning the Ligue One title, nonstopping from achieving their ultimate goals this season.

I think the information is wrong here and PSG was able to score the second goal in the 49th minute of the second half and what would happen if PSG didn't score that goal? of course the result will be a draw. PSG only scored one goal in the first half and were lucky they were still able to increase their score in the early minutes of the second half. But indeed Strasbourg had time to reduce the deficit in the 68th minute and there was a chance to hold on to the draw. PSG certainly tried their best to add a third goal, but it looks like Strasbourg didn't want to concede again and they improved their defense in the second half.

Apart from all that, Kylian Mbappe remains the foundation of goals for PSG and through his brace in this match he can provide an additional 3 points for PSG and again widen the gap from Nice. So far Kylian Mbappe has scored 20 goals in Ligue 1 and makes it very difficult for other players to catch him to win the golden boot award this season.

I agree that PSG will beat Strasbourg, but I don't think it will be easy. Strasbourg's unbeaten streak and ability to draw PSG will not be underestimated. Strasbourg has held their own in these matches, and their form suggests they'll fight.

Unfortunately, PSG's loss to Brest indicates they can get too comfortable. With Dembele out, they'll be extra careful not to repeat that mistake. It's a hit, but PSG's attack depth should help them. Still, I want a closer match than most. You might want to reconsider betting on a PSG landslide win.

In today's match of Strasbourg vs PSG team in French Soccer League, I enjoyed a tough match between two teams. However, if Strasbourg team played well in the first half of the game, it seems that Strasbourg team could have drawn the match. Strasbourg team made many efforts to draw today's match.  Couldn't. PSG team won the match by scoring 2 goals in today's match. PSG team played well in the first half of the game but PSG team couldn't score any goals after halftime.

Nice will have to win three matches to be in the same point as PSG and they will also hope that the latter will lose all three matches. From all indications, this is not possible because no team is close to PSG class in Ligue One. PSG deserved the victory against Strasbourg and they were able to take their chances and had an early two-goal lead by Mbappe and Asensio. Strasbourg showed some prospect to come back to the game when Bakwa's game reduced the goal tally but the defence of PSG was too strong to crack. The race for the Champions League slot is still open with Brest, Monaco, LOSC and Reims still having the opportunity to still get the second and third slots. I keep remembering last season when Lens slightly lost the League One title by just one point and they are currently sitting in eighth position, what a missed opportunity.

You are right that it is not easy for PSG to beat Strasbourg, at least that is what can be seen in the match statistics because even though PSG managed to control more than 60% of ball possession, the attempts they produced were not as many as Strasbourg and also from these attempts the home team was more on target to threaten PSG's goal but unfortunately they are not very good at finishing and PSG is much better because they have a world-class striker who is productive to continue scoring goals in many matches, and the 2-1 win over Strasbourg makes them continue to lead the standings, and the point difference with Nice is possible it will be less if Nice can beat Brest in tomorrow's match, even though that is not enough to replace PSG's position at the top of the standings because the point difference is already quite large and PSG is once again champion of Ligue 1 as a certainty for this season.

If Nice wins, they will maintain a 6-point gap from PSG. If Nice loses, Brest will get second place replacing Nice because they are superior on goal difference. This match is a decisive match to maintain their position in the Champions League next season. Because I don't think anyone can replace PSG in first place. So this match is important for Nice and Brest because whichever team loses, their position will be threatened by Monaco and Lille who are also pursuing their target of reaching the Champions League next season.

Yes, as you said, PSG will definitely get 3 more points in this match because it is true that PSG went home by stealing 3 points from Strasbourgh. There is no doubt that in this match PSG will win even though Strasbough was able to create a goal opportunity in the 68th minute. But that goal it didn't mean anything for PSG because PSG continued to maintain a tight defense so that Strasbourgh couldn't equalize even though they took many shots at PSG's goal but only 1 was converted into a goal.

Currently PSG has collected 47 points with a 9 point advantage over Nice but Nice still has 1 match remaining that has not been played, and tomorrow Nice will face Brest who are currently in good condition after managing to hold PSG to a draw but both clubs are in the rankings. 2 and 3 I think this will be a match that is quite difficult to predict. If Nice loses, it is very likely that the standings table will change and the fight for the title with PSG will become increasingly difficult to achieve.

At first it seemed very funny to me to see PSG's mainstay player being easily read by the Strasbourg goalkeeper and failing to get a score and if we look at it actually there were a lot of opportunities that were wasted by PSG players like Kolo Muani who got 2x opportunities in front of the Strasbourg goal but didn't shoot. was able to hit the target and Mbappe also had several opportunities but only 1 score was on target.
A narrow win for PSG was actually not safe because it could have ended in a draw but unfortunately Strasbourg were unlucky when they were in front of the goal. PSG was not focused so they were unable to shoot the ball on target and were only able to produce 1 score even though Strasbourg also had lots of opportunities.

For Strasbourg, it might be possible to split the score to end the match in a draw if the opportunity is not wasted and the main mistake is the goalkeeper, such as not being well, holding the ball for too long in the penalty box without realizing that there are PSG players nearby and it is clear that the goalkeeper Strasbourg is out of focus.
If only the Strasbourg goalkeeper hadn't made a mistake, I'm sure it would have ended in a draw and luckily the PSG players still had a good enough performance to maintain their position.
