Nice already have a solid defense that can provide a strong foundation for their ambition to develop, and if Nice can finish in the top 3 in the of the season and earn Champions League qualification, it would indeed open up opportunities to strengthen their attacking aspect, they will earn financial benefit for Nice to build a better plan through transfer market. The need for better striker has become the main issue for Nice.

The prospect of playing in such a prestigious competition is something that can attract top players. This is an advantageous position for Nice to be in. This is indeed the right moment for Nice to build a team with a step-by-step process. They already have a solid defense as the groundwork for further improvements. It depends on themself to capitalizes on the current momentum and to make strategic moves to enhance their attacking prowess, because they have established area maintain and addressed the areas that need improvement.

Paris Saint-Germain, are currently on the right track in the Ligue 1 competition. of their last 8 matches, they swept clean with wins. For several weeks, PSG has been at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. So I think PSG not only has a chance to win a trophy this season, but their probability of retaining the Ligue 1 title is still very high compared to other teams. I am still very confident, so far PSG will be difficult to get rid of in the race for trophies. Even though it goes ups and downs, it can happen in some matches and that's normal for me. So, Enrique will continue to bring PSG to defend its title for the umpteenth time.

As for Nice, gradually their side will be replaced by other teams and the one with the most potential at the moment is Monaco. Monaco is only 2 points different from Nice, we just have to wait until Nice experiences a decline in performance.

Btw, based on my personal point of view and my observations, this time PSG is not aiming for the Champions League Trophy. in fact, we can refer to the players they brought in in the last summer transfer window. what I said, was supported by several football pundits from my country. If PSG wants to remain in the Champions League and is targeting trophies, they will clearly strengthen their team with established and mature players. not young players, whose talents must be developed further.
Regarding Mbappe, even if he leaves according to the rumors reported so far. PSG was able to bring in a potential replacement, in fact PSG had already prepared it last summer. that's why they prefer to bring in young players. Next summer, they can bring in any player PSG wants, but the condition is that the player is also interested in playing for Paris Saint-Germain. especially if we talk about financial health, quite a few great players are attracted by high salaries. well, as long as no club is able to compete with PSG. there should be, or at least, there are several clubs that are slightly below PSG's level in terms of finances. if so, this competition will be more competitive.

Actually, sooner or later PSG will remain in its position because of their dominance with the power of money they have, surely they will still be able to be in the top position because indeed their money power is much greater which can make their dominance maintained. That is a certainty because PSG's situation is different in terms of level no matter how bad they are at the beginning of the season, they will still be at the top for the end of the season.


Talking about Lyon they finally got their win back after a few matches went badly for them.  But this win didn't make any impact for Lyon as they still haven't even moved out of the bottom of the table but at least there is a new hope for them to improve their current spirit.

It's hard to break the dominance of Paris Saint Germain because they have everything that makes them better than the rest. We've always seen that their goal-scoring ability is good every season, and this season is no exception. They are also strong in defense, although now they are not the strongest, but they are still one of the clubs that fall into the category of clubs that have a strong defense.
I also predict the same thing every season, that Paris Saint Germain will always be the main favorite to win the title in every season. Actually there are moments when other clubs can stop the dominance of Paris Saint Germain, but again when they get the opportunity they are the ones who slip and in the end make Paris Saint Germain always the best.


I've said this before, that one of their problems is their lack of goal scoring. Their defense is very solid and it is evident that they have only conceded 6 goals in 15 appearances so far this season. Conversely, they've only scored 16 goals, meaning they're averaging 1.06 goals per game. In my opinion, it is something that cannot lead them to be able to compete strictly for the championship. Because when they do not concede goals, but they cannot create goals, it is a result that makes them unable to win 3 points. Whereas in every match 3 points is something they must get in order to maintain their position and even to improve their position.

Yes, if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, maybe he will have a very good future because his career will continue to shine there, but will there be more drama at PSG like last season, but I hope there will be no more problems and what we should discuss is not where? he will leave but who will be able to replace him after Mbappe leaves?
From now on, I haven't heard any definite news about who will replace Mbappe because during my time with PSG I saw that there was no player who had talent like him and whether Enrique will just keep quiet or will he try to hunt down other talented player.
The most important thing that Enrique given responsibility for the performance of the club he coaches and after Mbappe departure has had negative impact, there likely to be an interesting surprise that will occur.

But it was really unexpected because at the start of the season PSG didn't perform very well and at that time only Nice and Monaco dominated the League so PSG seemed to be having difficulty getting up to catch up.
In addition, there were problems between PSG coach Enrique and their mainstay player Mbappe, making every match at the start of the season very difficult to win, especially at that time the dispute between the two meant that Mbappe was not included in the list of players.
And PSG condition, which also lost several core players, also affected their quality and performance at the start of the season.
But now it really great because they managed to recover and Enrique has resolved his dispute with Mbappe which allows this squad to move slowly in trying to catch up, now they have proven it by topping the standings.

To avoid the relegation zone, Lyon not only needs win but also mistakes made by the team above them.
And when Lyon manages to have full points for the matches they win, they can immediately surpass the teams currently above them, such as Clermont and Lorient.
Of course Lyon will not be able to win the next match because Monaco is their opponent, maybe there is chance or opportunity to win but that is if Lyon has luck.
Besides, I sure no one believes that Lyon can beat very strong team like Monaco.

I think Nice has a solid defense. As you said they lack in the attacking aspect. If they are able to secure a place in the top 3 and secure Champions League tickets next season then of course that will make it easier for them to find a good striker. I think this season is the right moment for Nice to develop the club's game and performance little by little.

PSG has a lot of money. They can bring in any player because they can offer fantastic salaries. But I don't think teams with a lot of money can always maintain the consistency of their game. I don't have much hope for other teams being able to defend the title but I really want there to be proper competition in Ligue 1.

I said this from the very beginning that it won't take long for PSG to regain the lead in Ligue 1, now they will only increase this advantage. And I think Enrique will now receive funding to further strengthen the team, so the result will be obvious. Lyon beat Toulouse and will improve their position a little, another victory could allow them to get out of the relegation zones, but their opponents in the coming rounds are not easy...

PSG still have chances of winning the Ligue one this season, they are four points ahead of Nice on the table and that will means Nice will have to win to matches alongside PSG loosing two matches for them to be ahead of PSG which is something I don't think PSG will allow to happen, because they have the goal of winning the trophy again this season.

Although PSG biggest target is to win the champions league but then it's looking like they may not be able to get it so I'm very sure they wouldn't loose out back in the Ligue 1 aswell so they are definitely going all in to winning the league, the only chances of breaking PSG dominance in the league will be after mbappe must have left the team but for now I think even if they have some little set backs winning the Ligue 1 is more like a must to them and they will not loose it to Nice or any other team in the french league this season. Maybe next season or other season other teams in the Ligue 1 will have the opportunity to win the league title but it's definitely not looking like it will happen this season.

Psg made big changes to their squad last season and it took a process for them to come together to become stronger when they faced teams from other leagues in the champions league. In the Champions League, PSG is still struggling to qualify for the round of 16 and their hope is in the last match when they face Dortmund. In the domestic league Psg is very strong but in the champions league they have to work hard because this season Psg are in the most difficult group in the champions league. I think if you compare with Manchester United, maybe PSG is better than them, but still the best are those who are champions.

Luis Enrique must be able to bring PSG to win the last match at home to Dortmund. A difficult job for PSG in the last match considering that Dortmund is the strongest team in Group F for the time being. I think if PSG loses then the chance to qualify for the last 16 will go to Newcastle United or AC Milan. So it would be surprising if PSG couldn't qualify for the round of 16 because they spent a lot of money to buy quality players but couldn't compete in the Champions League.

PSG have won 8 games in a row in the Ligue 1 so far and they haven't been losing for 10 games. These are really impressive statistics but they are the kind of statistics PSG should already have of course. Because there is an insane gap between PSG and the rest of the teams in the league. I don't expect the champion to change this season either.

However I don't expect much success from PSG when it comes to the Champions League. Because they haven't been able to show the same ambition there. The amount of points they have collected so far is not so many and they might even be out of the tournament in the group stage.

I'm also happy about Lyon's victory this time. The problem is that the Lyon club is very worrying. However, this club doesn't give up. Lyon players continue to show the best they can and try hard to get out of the relegation zone and secure their position in the points table. Interestingly, Lyon's victory this time is only created by one player, namely Lyon striker Lacazette. Lacazette contributed 3 goals to his club and became Lyon's hero this time.
However, unfortunately this victory does not change Lyon's position in the standings. Lyon is still at the bottom of the standings. I hope that with this victory, Lyon will start to gain confidence and can rise to achieve satisfactory results, at least to secure their position in League 1 this season.

Yes, Real Madrid will be a very good place for him to develop his career. Mbappé should seize this opportunity, and he needs Real Madrid. They are strong enough. They don't necessarily have Mbappé. Many names always suit their playing style.
They are waiting for Mbappé to say he wants to go to Santiago Bernabeu. Of course, he cannot have power and receive a high salary like at PSG. Real Madrid is asserting their class.
Mbappé should be wise this time when choosing a place to develop his career. He will open a new chapter to develop his career. Otherwise, he will be ruined like Neymar. Other young players show they can surpass Mbappé in the coming years. If he continues to bury his career at PSG.

Watching PSG beat Nantes, even though Mbappe wasnt playing his best, really made me think. Unquestionably, they won, and Kolo Muani's play stood out. Im not overly impressed, though. Due to their home field advantage and past performance, PSG usually wins these games by a larger spread. Historically, they've had a big advantage over teams like Nantes, right?

The quality of their wins is another issue. Three points is three points, but when you spend a lot of money on stars like Kolo Muani, you kind of expect more, like victories that are more convincing. Although Im happy for PSG's success, I guess I was hoping for a little more style and control, especially at home.

Nice this season is strong in midfield and defense. but that does make their front-line not that strong in terms of goal productivity. this season may be too difficult for Nice. but they are aware of the team's shortcomings, and next season, if Nice can maintain the squad and of course add a good striker in the attack line, Nice will compete better next season.
Nice very rarely wins with a very large number of scores. even when facing weaker teams. so they are quite safe when winning with a small score. and that is good enough for their position in the standings.

I think PSG will still win the league in the next few years. Nice's chances of winning the title from PSG will be very difficult. Look at the goal difference between PSG and the other teams in Ligue 1. It's clear that it's very big. Nice scored very few goals among the top teams in the standings. But they also conceded quite a bit. Are they a team that is as good at defending as the teams in Italy? They are the team with the fewest goals conceded in the league.

so far, PSG success has been with a very talented mainstay player like Mbappe and what you say is true, as long as Mbappe is still at PSG, this team will still dominate League 1 to occupy the top of the standings, but everything will be difficult if Mbappe leaves PSG and that will this will happen next summer and it looks like PSG won't be able to keep the player because of the rules at that time If they dont renew their contract, Mbappe will leave as a free agent.

but there is no need to doubt that PSG finances are very good and it will be very easy to get new players who have talents like Mbappe and in the past they were looking for sticker players like Gancalo Ramos who was rumored to be replacing Mbappe but in fact he could not appear as strong as Mbappe, even this mainstay player is still being the best scoring player on his team at the moment.

and regarding Nice who will try to break PSG dominance, it seems too early and not yet ready to lead in League 1, although there are always surprises, but it will not be possible because in terms of experience, PSG is still much better.

Les Aiglons opportunities to make the difference in Ligue 1 this season are quite small because they are not supported by competent player material so that competition with PSG will be difficult when a number of their players are injured. Now the difference between the points between the two is in the distance of four and although there are still many matches that must be passed do not make it easy for Nice to pursue. Money does play an important role in football because they can do anything to recruit the desired players.

In fact, I am still quite sure without being strengthened by Mbappe PSG still has a considerable opportunity to win the Ligue 1 title because they have a number of other players who are no less great than Mbappe. It's hard to beat PSG's dominance for the next few seasons because they have everything and other teams are not as strong PSG as they are at Ligue1.

Well, I cannot deny that the work that Luis Enrique has done has been great. On a personal level, I would say that the way the Spaniard has handled it has been great. You might think that whenever it comes to doing something better, a good strategy is there. I can't say what makes him excellent, nothing to do with how he took Spain to the World Cup, which he did in a way that I didn't like, because he left players who in Spain are very good, in their clubs, they are excellent, just because they were from the Madrid didn't put them in, he hasn't matured that yet, so that gives me a lot to think that as a coach he should forget about those silly rivalries, because now a team has to choose the best of the best, and he preferred pure young players without experience, so that meant that they did not do very well in the world cup, which seems bad to me because in a world cup things must be different, so from what I have seen I think that those things matured, because in PSG they are not doing it evil.

Now if we look for things as they are, we should be aware that Luis Enrique himself is doing everything possible to look for the best for PSG, there are many variants, what I think is that at the moment he is looking for the Ideal team without Mbappé, because it is a reality that the player Mbappé is going to leave, that is something that we all know, in any case he will not be there, for that reason we have to see all the variants, if this season PSG is not the same as the season last season, I think the next season will be worse without the player, and although it is a game of 11 people, he makes the difference because the things that are part of the game always happen at Mbappé's feet, and if he doesn't score a goal, at least one He has good assistance, that is the direction the player is taking so far, of course it is a shame for PSG that a player like him is leaving, but he doesn't want to be there and that is difficult.


I don't know if I'm asking too much, but I would really like things to happen in Marseille's favor, but always and make sure that from now on they become a very strong team, worthy of making life impossible for Marseille in Ligue 1. to PSG, therefore I have a lot of hope for this, because firstly PSG is not as strong as last season, they can do things very well, PSG has a Mbappé who is doing a lot, I cannot deny that Luis Enruique He does it very well, the scheme he is using now is giving him very good results, of course, they still have Mbappé, but I think that next season they will no longer be spending it with him, because yes or yes, the player will leave. Will the cpsas be as good as now without the player? Who knows, I think it's tough for them, and this is what the other teams should see, it's not the same anymore, the PSG that was scary with its tough players like Messi, like Mbappé and Neymar, can no longer do it well , and the truth is they did not take the opportunity to win a UCL.

At the moment they are the leaders in Ligue 1, there is no doubt, although PSG's start was somewhat flawed, but a team has to emerge, one that can stop this team, so far I see Marseille very well, But I think they can do much better, so in this order of ideas Marseille put all their energy to face a PSG that has completely dominated this league with fewer stars ? These things are what other teams have to see, Lille is also one of the teams that can do things better, but since last season there were so many teams that showed good discipline that in the end they gave in, that is Something that did not give me any pleasure, the one that maintained the level somewhat until the end was Marseille, I would like a team from France that could measure up to these teams as good as PSG.

Lorient predicted XI v Marseille: Bamba Dieng set to start against former side, Tiémoué Bakayoko out

Lorient is not a hard opponent for them because this team had poor performance and they only can able to get 1 win from 12 matches so this result is according people prediction that Marseille can able to win without any trouble and indeed i can see it that Marseille performance was gradually better now because after this result currently Marseille gets 3 wins in a row in Ligue 1 and their position currently at 5th place and they have 4 difference points below to Lille the team in the 4th place

On the other hand apparently Lyon hasn't give up want to survive in Ligue 1 that yesterday they got 2nd winning this season by win against Toulouse and Lacazette has make a hattrick on that match and now Lyon has 10 points however relegation zone also more interesting now because the difference points between the team in that zone is not so far but Lyon will get hard opponent next weekend because they will fight against strong team Monaco
