Yes that's right. It's not surprising that PSG won League 1 and it was like celebrating their birthday, every year they celebrate it because they are too dominant in League 1, starting from players and finances. Actually, a league like this is interesting because it is too boring. The same thing also happened in the Bundesliga, only this season Bayern Munich's dominance was broken by Bayer Leverkusen very impressively. I still hope that League 1 next season can be even more competitive so that League 1 will be even more interesting.

One of the reasons Mbappe wants to leave PSG is because he wants to look for challenges and of course wants to seek individual achievements such as the Ballon d'Or. Because if he still stays at PSG, it is impossible for him to get it, he really has to move so he can achieve more individual achievements.

PSG was the most expensive club and nothing surprise when team was totally owning the league like this time. It means that if PSG is consistently using all of its resources. It will be so dumb if PSG will not able to dominate this competition since it's owning everything.
PSG is the only club that has more than 1 billion valuation. The domination from PSG for league one is just getting started. We will see more domination in the upcoming season.

Of course it will be different and we actually can't equate it because every team in every league will always be different in terms of quality of performance and also the support that makes each team develop.
For Ligue 1 itself, I sure that in the long term there will never be another team that can compete with PSG, if there is, maybe only for few season because PSG can always dominate even though they previously failed.
Just look at the table for each season which clearly shows that PSG won the title almost every season and they only stopped after defending it for several seasons.
In addition, PSG is the richest team here and to be able to keep up with this will really be very difficult, if can, it means PSG is in trouble or could be said to have experienced decline in playing quality.

PSG have been crowned champions this season and they have defended the Ligue 1 title for the umpteenth time, for the team this season that is truly amazing is Brest because in one season they have shown significantly improved quality.

The same thing happened where Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga have a club that dominated so long but the shift that occurred in the Bundesliga did not have the opportunity to occur in Ligue 1 this season. Lyon, who in the previous season became a title challenger but this season they were quite slumped even though they could get out of the relegation zone slowly, but when they saw their appearance in the beginning of the season Lyon's performance was so inconsistent.

To pursue the top position of the standings it is not possible to be pursued by any team, but for Brest struggling to finish in second sequence is a better choice so they can play in the Champions League next season. The target finish in the runner -up position is enough because Brest only relies on the power of makeshift in competing.

I really think PSG actually does not care if they lose the Ligue 1 title at this point. The only thing they actually care about is the Champions League title. they will go to any length to actually achieve that. I think that’s what we are watching right now. PSG was actually at all worried about losing the Ligue 1 they could have played the match differently. But the main priority is the Champions League competition. that’s why no matter what, they are always trying to protect the players that will play in the Champions League match and then thinking about the match in Ligue 1.

I think that is right because they are going to win the Ligue 1 anyway. But it doesn’t matter what they do, it is going to hurt for them to win in the Champions League competition because they are never ready to actually play against bigger opponents. How would they be? They have been playing against teams that are less than half-powerful compared to PSG throughout the whole season.

It's too far to compare Ligue 1 which PSG has won again with the competition for the Bundesliga title. Leverkusen in Ligue 1 may lie between Monaco, Lyon, Marseille and Lille. It's just that we haven't had the right time to decide on the title at the end of the season.
It is true that in the 2020/2021 season, Lille was able to break PSG's dominance with a difference of 1 point when Lille confirmed themselves as Ligue 1 champions.
This season I am amazed by two other teams, namely Brest and Lyon. It is still possible for Brest to finish in 2nd place, while Lyon, which had slumped to the bottom, could return to the top 10.

The draw against Le Havre almost thwarted PSG's plans to win Ligue 1, but fortunately for PSG if in another match Monaco suffered worse fate than PSG by getting a defeat from Lyon so it can be ascertained that PSG this season has officially won Ligue 1, so the points you mentioned are no longer PSG need at this time,  The remaining Ligue 1 matches this season still have 3 matches and PSG no longer need to win those games because it no longer affects PSG at this time, besides that I think it is better for PSG to continue to play their reserve players regardless of winning or losing the remaining games in order to secure the main players for the Champions League match this season.

For now PSG have celebrated their championship sooner before the season ends, so PSG from now on can focus their attention on playing in the Champions League and of course Enrique still needs to improve the performance and mentality of his players to be able to face Dortmund in the first leg, if PSG hope luck like in the game against Barcelona of course it is difficult to repeat so I think it is mandatory for PSG to be able to work hard to beat Dortmund Later.

Wrong, ligue one doesn't have xabi alonso. Leverkusen was nothng without xabi alonso. Leverkusen has been using almost the same squad like last season but it's kind different when xavi came to the club. He changed the gameplay of leverkusen being more structured than the previous season.
It likes a magic came from xabi alonso. Leverkusen was an ordinary club without xabi alonso. That stats is good enough consider enrique is still in the process to rebuild the team. Even xabi took almost to season to bring leverkusen win the trophy.
Enrique took less than a season to rebuild the club.


The regulation has prevented big investors to come. This is pretty much the same like when bayern munich owned the league for more than 1 decade. That's crazy but this is the reality.
I often think about when ligue one to have other major investors come to buy the mid table club on ligue one. The winner for the next season will still remain the same. That's true if this league less of competitive.

What Ligue One has as a trouble is that they do not have a Bayer Leverkusen at the moment, they had one a few years ago with Lille who win it over PSG, but no team like that anymore. PSG doesn't end up winning every game, only 70 points in 31 games, which is 2.25 average points per game, and that is not good at all, any team that does better than that would be able to win the league, well in that case I am sure that PSG would have played better too but at least a team would be competing with PSG.

But looking at the league, every team is playing with a terrible under 2 points per game averages, even the second ranked team, so that is why PSG doesn't care about the league. Basically PSG has no other team competition, they are the only one that keeps winning their games.

Four more points is quite easy for PSG to get, because they can be obtained by winning once and drawing again in the upcoming matches for PSG. Apart from that, no rival team has been able to stop PSG's dominance in Ligue1 because PSG's rivals' abilities are still quite low and Monaco's defeat at home to Lyon also provides quite accurate evidence that PSG has succeeded in distancing itself from its rivals for now. But on the one hand, I also enjoy the fight for second and third place this season in Ligue1 because Lille, Brest and Monaco will continue to compete for that position this season.

About Brest, it can be assumed they are just a mediocre team because after all, from the previous seasons the reality is that Brest more often finished in the middle of the standings and even approached the relegation zone. But yes, who thinks Brest will really succeed this season because Brest also still has a chance to be able to play in the Champion League next season or just play in the Europa League. But at least, because at the beginning of this season it was not Brest who got the attention, but about Nice who at the beginning of the season was at the top of the standings. But anyway, in the end Nice failed to be able to finish to get a Champions League ticket next season but what was a big surprise was also about Lyon. Because after all, about Lyon, whose first half of the season only struggled in the relegation zone but entered the second half of the season Lyon really managed to improve its position in the Ligue 1 standings.

But indeed, what becomes interesting is also about Marseille in this season because Marseille is very bad for away matches but in fact, Marseille is very good for home matches until Marseille also managed to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals this season which will play against Atalanta. Therefore, I really did not waste a good chance about Marseille in yesterday match against Lens, although only a narrow win with 2-1, but Marseille really managed to get good results for home matches throughout this season.

At the start of the campaign, PSG performance could not be trusted at all, because Luis Enrique squad lost surprisingly to Newcastle and Milan, and overall PSG was lucky to qualify from Group F to advance to the round of 16. In the round of 16 PSG journey was a little smoother, because they faced Real Sociedad who did not have a balanced strength to provide resistance. Then in the quarter finals PSG was beaten again by Barcelona in the first leg, and PSG luck came again in the second leg, Mbappe and his colleagues managed to turn things around and qualify for the semifinals. Next, PSG will meet Dortmund again, who incidentally were their previous opponents in Group F, which in my opinion, luck will again be on PSG side. So overall PSG is very lucky in the Champions League this season, and has the opportunity to advance to the final later.

PSG winning the league is just inevitable, even They have more chance of the winning due to the losses of their rivals compared to themself winning their games, because of the inconsistencies of their rivals. Mathematically, PSG need only 4 more points to secure the league trophy, but with the allure of Ligue 1, It's safe to say that PSG is already the Ligue 1 Champions.

The battle for Champions League zone and relegation avoidance seem more interesting, the points gap between the competitors are close enough. Monaco, Brest and Lille will have to give their best form for their ambition to play in the Champions League next season. Nantes is still not safe from relegation, Le Havre, and Lorient have still chance to stay in Ligue 1.  

Luis Enrique's only goal now is to do well in the Champions League. And I would also say that PSG's performance is unexpectedly good right now. I have seen this team's performance in the Champions League since the beginning of the season. I don't think PSG performed very well. The team's performance was quite erratic. We have not seen this team perform consistently well. However, we saw a much better performance from PSG in the knockout round of the Champions League. And the team has now managed to qualify for the semi-finals.

PSG will face Dortmund in the semi-finals. The Dortmund team is also not very strong. And the performance of this team is also quite erratic. So PSG win against Dortmund is more likely. PSG look set to qualify for the Champions League final.

Mbappe will not stay with PSG next season. So Mbappe will try his best. There is no doubt that Luis Enrique's match strategy is very good. PSG have the potential to do well in the Champions League if Mbappe and Dembele perform well.

I misunderstood what the author wrote when I first read it, but when I read the whole thing, I understood what he meant, so there is no problem. PSG could not comfortably trouble any team throughout the season. They continued to an unexpectedly good place in the Champions League, and their chances still continue.

They have semi-final matches, becoming champions early in the league will enable them to focus on that side. On the one hand, it is definitely being said that Mbappe will be transferred to Real Madrid at the end of this season. It will be a big loss for PSG if this transfer is certain.

Yes, I believe all PSG is craving for now is lifting the champions league trophy since they have nothing to worry after winning the ligue1 yesterday all thanks to Lyon for making it look so easy, they have got few days to prepare and they have the advantage of having a stronger team and a better squad against them opponent Dortmund.

Regardless of the loss that Monaco suffered in the hands of Lyon yesterday PSG would have found it very easy to still be crowned champions looking at their point difference, it would have taking them 2 to 3 matches before the trophy would be handed over to them  but it's unfortunate that Monaco couldn't defeat Lyon to prolong the celebration of PSG as they are already champions, hoping to see PSG and Mbappe win the big one in front of them which is their biggest expectation so far I wish them success even as they continue in the champions league against Dortmund.

Congratulations to PSG for winning the french league this season, it's actually Worth congratulating them even if it's something we are so used to in the fact thst they always win the Ligue 1 trophy most often and they are now looking like the regular champions of the. Ligue 1 after defending it for over five years in a row it's actually not an easy achievement but then they were able to still get it anyways, even this season wasn't that terrible for them in the Ligue 1.

I can't wait for next season to see how well they will be able to perform and be able to still get to maintain their dominance in the Ligue 1 because they are actually not going to have one of their best players with them again as he will be moving to another team in a different league, i have taught of the fact that they are not going ti be able to probably get to win the league as easily as they did this season because their psychology will not be in a very good form whenever it occurs to them that a key player is absent amongst them a d they just have to probably work with his replacement.

Getting a replacement for mbappe is another thing PSG will have to put into consideration as they get into next season and they must make sure it's someone who can actually get to fit in well enough to be able to help them achieve the kind of results they were getting in his presence so they just have to make sure to maintain some of their good players who has also helped the team get to this point the champions league is now their min focus.

I think this season Enrique has really maintained the quality of the PSG players' performance after qualifying for the semi-finals. Enrique feels very proud and more enthusiastic about being able to continue fighting for the title in the Champions League and even though he has to prioritize the Champions League, Enrique has managed to maintain the appearance of the PSG players so that they don't win. It looks too bad in League 1 and it can be seen that PSG is really different this season, they are more enthusiastic about achieving higher titles in other competitions.
This could be a sign that Enrique's arrival provides a good improvement and even though the results were not satisfactory in League 1, at least it did not embarrass PSG fans because a draw is still a pretty good result compared to losing points which will weigh on the minds of PSG players.

I am very curious whether this is a sign that PSG will win the champions league title because the PSG coach and players are able to apply tactics to more consistently maintain performance in each match and it has been confirmed that after PSG was truly successful in beating Dortmund, this means PSG's chances in the round the final was also very big.

PSG ruling Ligue 1 is insane. Eight titles in ten years...that's a dynasty. And it is quite boring seeing them succeed, especially with the world-class players they've got. It's a testament to what QSI has built. It would be way more exciting to see some serious competition in the league. Underdogs pushing PSG, making every game unpredictable...that's the kind of drama we crave. PSG's real challenge is to take that dominance to the Champions League though. That's the ultimate test. And hey, we all want them to win it big on that stage. But for Ligue 1 fans, a little more suspense, a few more surprises...that's what would make this league even more amazing

The best and fastest way to break PSG dominance in Ligue 1 is with the presence of investors, who acquire one of the clubs and build a squad made of good players. So this will directly increase the competitive level of Ligue 1, unlike this season where PSG is running alone at the top of the standings. Even though Mbappe will leave them in the future, I don't think PSG dominance will be shaken, because the financial strength they have can easily recruit new players.

On the other hand, it is difficult for other Ligue 1 contestants to find momentum like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, where they can break Bayern dominance with an impressive record, but do not spend a lot of money to build squad depth. Momentum like that is quite difficult to happen, and indeed the process does not happen quickly but takes time. Automatically, if Ligue 1 does not have the club we mean, PSG will continue to dominate every season.

However, we hope that teams like Monaco, Marseille, Lyon and other contestants next season can improve their performance by utilizing their potential, so that they can compete with PSG for the trophy. Which ultimately makes it interesting for us to follow their matches every week, and it no longer looks boring.
