PSG seemed too strong for Marseille. Playing against 10-men, Marseille wasn't able to capitalize their numerical advantage. They struggled to assert themselves effectively, and credit has to be given to PSG for capitalizing on their opportunities and executing their chances efficiently, when Mbappe wasn't even directly involved in the counter-attacks. Enrique is able to adapt and find alternative strategies to succeed, even without relying on Mbappe. This adaptability is important to have in high-stakes matches where tactical flexibility is needed the most.

Perhaps with an eye on success in the Champions League, Enrique has the vision and plans of the team management by resting Mbappe in some matches in Ligue 1. This implies he has a clear focus on achieving success on Champions League target, while still maintaining consistency in the domestic league. PSG seem to always have the ability to win under challenging circumstances in Ligue 1 and their tactical flexibility in adapting to different game situations aligns with their ambition in Champions League.

It was a rough night for Marseille! PSG managed to secure a victory over Marseille despite being down to 10 men. Marseille seemed completely ineffective. Even with PSG playing with a man less, they managed to win 0-2 at Marseille's home ground. While PSG executed their counter-attacks efficiently, it's hard to consider this win as an impressive in this league.
The game was more solid when Mbappe wasn’t involved in the counter-attack, which was quite brilliant. Mbappe hasn't been completing all the games lately. They are starting to learn how to play without him, and it's proving to be effective for them. Perhaps it's strategic to save big players for important matches. Enrique is doing a fantastic job there, prioritizing winning the Champions League over the domestic league.

Rumors of Mbappe departure from PSG have been growing for a long time and in almost every transfer window his name is always linked with several big European clubs, one of which is Real Madrid. It is believed that Real Madrid is likely to be the next club to sign the French international, and it is even reported that Mbappe is very interested in joining the La Liga giants next season. With Mbappe free transfer status, several clubs that have strong finances also have the opportunity to recruit him, but in this case Real Madrid is at the forefront of the list to get him.

Mbappe left PSG because the club had difficulty winning the Champions League trophy, while Real Madrid could give Mbappe a bigger opportunity to win it. That is the main reason behind Mbappe decision to leave, even though PSG itself is quite capable of providing Mbappe with a large salary and bonuses every season. But currently everything still looks unclear, but many people believe that Mbappe will leave and will not stay at PSG next season.

As far as I know the match was won by PSG when facing PSG, which match do you mean? and in the last five matches PSG 3 draws and two wins, I don't know which match you mean. Even so, PSG has a very large difference in the French league 1, 12 points ahead already declares that they will win the domestic league again this season.

Meanwhile they only need to focus on the UCL quarter-finals against Barcelona, and that is not an easy thing for PSG, considering that Barcelona is very strong and is the favorite team to win in the Champion league, yes Barcelona's situation is not so bad and I think there is also a chance to beat Barcelona, as long as PSG dares to be disciplined and focus on winning, considering Xavi will also definitely skin PSG with his strategy.
Last season with players who have many stars PSG is still quite difficult to get into the final, even though we know that PSG last season mobilized all its resources, but still could not match expectations, this time I do not know what Enrique will do and who will be the hope of the match, maybe it will be focused on Mbappe.

I think that PSG is very good as is even without Mbappe they can still dominate the Ligue 1 in France.The problem is they need Mbappe services if they fancy a chance to win the Champions League title as that is their main objective after dominating for so many years now the Ligue 1,I think they are fully focusing on Champions League and they need players like Mbappe.

Mbappe on the other hand should move to a team permitting him to win that trophy as I doubt he will be happy to just lift the Ligue 1 trophy every season and never be able to win a Champions League trophy,based on this I think he should move out of Paris to a team with better chances to win the Champions League.

Mbappe has yet to announce his future at PSG, as well as his decision on whether he will leave them to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, but with all indications and some important moves the Real Madrid management has made with Mbappe, through good relationships and good communications. I believe the player has already decided to join Spanish champions Real Madrid because he wants to win the Ballon D'or, and if he continues at PSG, he may be ignored.  Furthermore, PSG is not more competitive and will not be able to win the Champions League, however if he moves to Madrid, he may win the Champions League successfully.

PSG knows what they have to do to get a replacement for Mbappe next season, because in general PSG has the money and also has the ability to recruit other players who can balance the strengths in the PSG team next season. And apart from that, PSG will not immediately be left behind or become weak if Mbappe is left behind, because other teams in the French League also do not have players who are greater than Mbappe. So PSG can still be a team that can continue to dominate League 1 every season.

Normally PSG has not had issues with been able to really get a good position in the Ligue 1, they have only had to struggle with the champions league a d that has forever been their biggest night mare to tackle and they usually go all in every season to make sure they are able to secure an opportunity at the Ligue 1 table top so they are most definitely not going to really stress about the Ligue 1 but bother more about the champions league

Luis Enrique like you did mentioned may have his job on the line if he fails to get PSG to the champions league finals at least because they are really anticipating that from PSG this season after they have actually spent some good funds on the team to see thst they get a tangible outcome at the champions league this season but then it's not an easy task because even other teams in the champions league too aren't playing and they are aswell trying to give off their very best and no less to winning the champions league too so like the usual it's a very competitive game actually.

If PSG ends up not been able to win the champions league I wouldn't want to blame it on the Coach as many would want to do because it's not solely his fault as PSG once had a time where they had all the big names and a very tough team yet they were still unable to win the trophy and that wasn't blamed on the coach, now they have a bit lesser quality than then only a very normal expectations should be on them.

Marseille 0 - 2 PSG

This was a game that before the game started I thought it would be a very balanced game on the field, that's why I chose to bet on the draw or psg because that way I would be safer in my bet, I didn't imagine that the game would be completely dominated for psg, even playing with just 10 players psg still completely dominated the game, psg had greater goal opportunities and psg scored 2 goals. This shows that PSG doesn't have an opponent in Ligue 1 and that's because the other teams in Ligue 1 haven't invested much in their squad, they haven't made an effort to make their teams earn more money to buy good players, it seems to me that in a way Many teams have accommodated themselves to the current scenario in which they are



The PSG player didn't need to exaggerate, if it had been in a European Champions League game, PSG could have lost. In the European Champions League, mistakes like these are fatal. I hope the PSG coach draws attention to his players so that they avoid this type of thing in the European Champions League games, now one thing that has made me think these days is the fact that PSG is doing very well in the table, we just need to look at the table:



PSG only had 1 defeat and it seems to me that they are much better than last season, this makes me think of the words of the PSG coach:

So far, Mbappe has not publicly announced whether he will go to Real Madrid or stay at PSG, I suppose he is still analyzing how far this new PSG can go, because with a new coach it is very clear that PSG is very stable and can achieve win the European Champions League this or next season. so mbappe is probably thinking about his high salary, the fact that he is playing in his country and in the best club and if the team is strong in the European champions league, then he would have no reason to leave the team, he is thinking like that and the coach has purposely replaced mbappe so that he can see from the outside how well the team can play even without him on the field

Sometimes things like this often happen and Marseille was quite careless in conceding these two goals. From the start PSG played quite hard and it was seen that many of their players were getting cards. Moreover, losing one player should allow Marseille to explore more in terms of attack, but again PSG will not let that happen even if they are under pressure as the visiting team.

Whether you like it or not, it is the coach's decision and I think Mbappe has to accept it resignedly. Luis Enrique knows that Mbappe is an important player so this decision must be taken regardless of whether the player will be disappointed or annoyed. I think it is more realistic to save his energy for another fierce match and besides, Mbappe doesn't need to worry about PSG who will clearly be able to win the Ligue One title every season.

Their defeat against Marseille some time ago did not have a big impact on them, because they still lead by 12 points from the club which is in 2nd place in the standings. It makes sense when you say that this Ligue 1 season has ended because it is very difficult to catch Paris Saint Germain with the 12 point lead they have.

It looks like they will focus more on the Champions League, where every season they always set high targets when they are in the Champions League. This season they also have a good chance of being in the semifinals after they will face Barcelona. Indeed, Barcelona will also be a difficult opponent for them, but with the situation they are currently experiencing, it slightly opens up their chances of winning this match. Although I personally still have big doubts about them. Their biggest dream is to become champions in the Champions League, which until now they have not been able to achieve, and this season they are trying again.

PSG's location is intriguing. They're one of the major financial powers.  Losing Mbappe hurts, but they'll recover. The Yamal rumors and insane price tag show they're playing the long game. I know money doesnt buy trophies, but it opens doors, right?

I understand Mbappe leaving. Superstar kid craves attention. We cant fault his ambition. Yamal, its speculation for now. That would be impressive if PSG did that. Its a power move, not just a Mbappe replacement. Proof they're constantly competitive.

The season is already over for PSG in the Ligue 1. They are obviously the champions in this season as well. 

Now they will look ahead, especially at the Champions League. This season is really important for Luis Enrique at the same time. If he doesn't manage to achieve the Champions League title then his future would be uncertain here. Because winning the Ligue 1 title is an easy work for PSG already. PSG chairman is looking for a manager who can finally bring the Champions League trophy home. For now I'm not thinking like they will be the one to win the title there.

Yesterday in the French Ligue 1, Paris Saint Germaine continued with their very impressive performance against in the league against Marseille in a game that I personally thought they'll struggle to win. When Lucas Beraldo was shown the red card in the 40th minute of the game, I predicted that the home team is going to capitalize on that and win the game but little did I know that Marseille were too weak to utilize that opportunity. Second half goals from Vitinha and Goncalo Ramos was okay for the 10 man Paris Saint Germaine to claim all three points from the game but there's another talking point in the game that I'll want to point out to and that's Kylian Mbappe's reaction when he was substituted off in the 65th minute of the game because to him, it wasn't fair for the club manager to take him out if the game when the team were leading by just one goal with ten men.
Paris Saint Germaine manager Luis Enrique in recent games especially domestic games have developed the habit of taking the French man off in games that he was  would easily expected to play full 90 minutes and if he doesn't stop to do that, Kylian Mbappe might not just be giving his best to the club again till when he leaves after the end of the current season

0 - 2 was the final result of PSG victory over Marseille and this victory was truly surprising because in the 40th minute PSG received 1 red card and had to lose 1 defender, this was clearly problem for PSG but they were still able to win.
After only playing with 10 players, PSG were still able to create opportunities and score goals in the 53rd and 85th minutes, they were also able to maintain their lead with Marseille not having goal in return.
PSG defense is still very good and it can be seen that the midfield players are very competitive in helping the defense and attack lines, this shows that PSG still has quite good performance and quality.

Hahaha we have to get used to it because Enrique wants to prove and make PSG less dependent on Mbappe, after all he needs Mbappe to prepare for the UCL match and this is the right decision in my opinion.

Mbappe looks like he will leave PSG because according to rumors he will look for a new challenge in his next career, which means he will leave Psg at the end of this season. Maybe Mbappe will look for a new challenge in the Premier League or LaLiga in the coming season, but for now we don't know for sure which team will be Mbappe next destination. It could be that Real Madrid will be Mbappe next goal because his target is of course the UCL Trophy and he has hopes of achieving it if he joins Real Madrid.

Regarding salary, of course he has a large salary that he received at PSG and if his new team is unable to provide a larger salary, Mbappe will probably refuse their offer. Mbappe is still young and the team that manages to recruit him can definitely make him a long-term project.

PS G is actually the richest team in France and aswell one of the richest across Europe so it almost very possible for them to get any players they wish to get provided the player is willing to move and the team aswell wants to seem him off then PSG will place a price on them and buy them immediately but that still doesn't guarantee victory for them or the ability to be able to win other league title by the end of the season.

It's clear that mbappe isn't leaving PSG on the basis that their pay isn't enough or not upto his expectations but rather he wants to explore another levels in his career and that alone has been the drive for him not wanting to stay back at PSG and continue taking high salary with only a few trophies to his name as that isn't helping his career well enough as he might have wanted,at some point in ones career, the person's achievement becomes paramount for them such that they just want to attain more heights not because of the pay alone but for the sake of their career.

I don't think yamal will leave Barcelona for Madrid although it's still very possible but there's yet an opportunity or an official statement in that regards about him leaving the team yet so I somehow doubt if he will be leaving there any soon, I'm aware Madrid has got what it takes to get him out of there to join them but until an official statement of his move is made I think he still stays back at Barcelona.

Yeah that's exactly my point because Paris Saint Germain has grown so strong that the few coming season is very secured for them because like I already mentioned there is no club that can challenge them in terms of performance but however they need to work on the team the more because there targets shouldn't only be on the French league but also on other major League like champions League and for them to be successful on those leagues they will make sure they have more quality players because if mbappe is regarded as the best player on the Paris Saint Germain is obvious that there would be a negative impacts in terms of performance on Paris Saint Germainthere on there other major League, so the club management seriously need to work on the team a bit.

Yes Lille won their match and were able to move up to 3rd while they wait to see what Moanco plays. Games like this always come with a lot of press and you can imagine what Monaco players were going into with a match of that nature.

 ⁠Though Monaco will be away to a relegation team but still you can’t say much as relegation teams are always giving the big boys headache in one way or the other. Well Lile sure did their assignment well and for that reason the were able to get the 3 points and get into the UCL spot. The both teams are sought of equal and based on performance they were both on same par in that match and that made the match quite interesting and fun to watch.

 ⁠Well Monaco has won their match and have gone back to their 3rd place and this is now making the competition for the UCL and Uel fierce as the teams are all on close points and we have few matches to go. The UCL post can still be contested by Monaco, Lile and Nice.

 ⁠The top of the league and 2nd place doesn’t seem to be under much challenge as these other teams prove to be safely secured. The 3rd and 4th spot will still be contested on by the other 3 teams and we just wish the best man luck in the remaining fixtures.

The final score is 2-0 in favor of PSG. At one point I actually thought that PSG might actually lose the match. Because you know, in the 40th minute of the match they had to face a sending off. After that PSG became pretty defensive. And I have to say they have done really well defensively.

Another thing is the goalkeeper has also done well for PSG. I've seen the match the opponent did create a lot of chances, to prevent them a bunch of PSG players were considered yellow cards even the goalkeeper Gianluigi got a yellow card lol. But they were unable to create any real good chances in the end. They were making a lot of crosses but those balls were not won by any of their players. PSG was winning the aerial battle. I thought this was a good chance for Marseille to get three points and compete for the 5th position. But they were unable to defend properly. And that was the downfall for them.
