Totally agree with what you're saying, PSG is like a football powerhouse with a bigger budget getting all those superstar players and a famous coach, surely PSG is going to win the league again and again. Nice might find it hard to compete at that level i mean Nice has no chance to challenge PSG.  but it's interesting that it's gunning for that second spot.

Kylian had already scored 2 in the crazy match between Gibraltar but saved up his best for the last which he struck up to get his hat trick. The hat trick took him to 300 career goal mark at 24, he still has lot of years on his side to score as many as possible. Mbappe has proven to be a very prolific striker and PAG would try their best to keep him but I think he’s keen on leaving for some better challenges

 Real Madrid will be a good option for the youngster and he’ll probably beat the record with a team like Real Madrid, he's fast, a good finisher and is a versatile player that can be used as both striker and winger for Realmadrid and since he's a top player adapting into Realmadrid's style of play won't be difficult for him.

I see it like you @Leviathan.007. Nice looks great in the standings now because they didn't lose a game and have all these draws and eagerly collected point after point, but with so many draws they would not have a chance to challenge PSG. But Nice can't step up their game, they are already playing at their maximum, which is great for them as a small club, but to challenge PSG they would have to have half the number of those draws maximum and win more games and that is too much for them.

I don't think that Nice can even cause any problems for PSG because we know Nice is not a team at the same level as PSG and these two teams are obviously got a much different amount of budget. In fact, Nice didn't buy superstar players as PSG did or they don't have a famous coach like Enrique in their team and this is a good reason for us to say Nice can only race with PSG but at the end of this season, again, PSG is going to win the French League title and Nice can try for the second place of the table.

I think they can, in fact I believe that they can dominate even better, why? Because they played quite amazingly last year with Messi and Neymar, but they were having a lot of missing games and just rely on stars. This summer if you check their transfers you will realize that they got plenty of amazing players, which means that if they remove Mbappe from this team, they would still play better than any other team.

I believe that we are going to end up with a greater return and we are going to see them do better over course of some time, if Mbappe leaves this summer, you will see that next season they are going to be a lot better, because they will not have to rely on Mbappe or play to him all the time and instead they are going to end up playing like a team all together. I hope that they could make sure that they are doing well enough, and that should  be important for them to begin with. I believe that we are going to see them dominate for long time to come.

In theory we can assume that PSG will achieve victory in the opening match of Week 13, Luis Enrique has all the attributes needed to secure the three points in front of their own supporters. Of course PSG cannot afford to lose points in the next match, apart from confirming their position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, this victory will be a good start to competing again in the UCL against Newcastle.

Nice will face Toulouse, I assume Nice will be able to pick up perfect points too. I think if PSG and Monaco share points, then Nice will be at an advantage here. I hope that this fierce competition can continue to consistently occur in the top four of the standings, so that it will be interesting for us to wait for the matches they play.

Mbappe leads the list of top scorers in Ligue 1 by scoring 13 goals, overall in all competitions Mbappe has scored 15 goals in the 15 matches he has played. His goal productivity really helps PSG, I can't imagine what PSG situation would be like if Mbappe really moved.

PSG should not underestimate Monaco even though Monaco's performance has been inconsistent in the last 3 matches. PSG has a good home record following the match against Monaco in the next few days, but once again Monaco could pose a threat to PSG if PSG's defense fails to closely guard Monaco's striker.

Aleksandr Golovin and Wissam Ben Yedder are two players who must be closely guarded in the PSG defense. Both have scored 5 goals each and, however, Takumi Minamino and Folarin Balogun should also be watched out for when they are played. Meanwhile, PSG also seems very ready to take on this match after getting 5 consecutive wins so far. They are very convincing to win, especially because PSG is playing at home.

Actually, I'm not sure what you're saying, Mbappe doesn't seem to be staying for the UCL title with PSG. In fact, if Mbappe ends his contract, he will get a fantastic loyalty bonus. We have been discussing this since Mbappe's statement that this season will be his last. and apparently, this idea is the most realistic and relevant. If I were Enrique, I would refuse to become PSG coach if the club management was targeting the Champions League trophy.

Just imagine, with PSG's current player base, it would be something difficult for Enrique to make happen. I cannot deny that some of their newcomers are young players with potential. however, they will really need time to reach their playing level. and it has been proven that Goncalo Ramos, Kolo Muani, have not been able to show their consistency with PSG. that's why Enrique trusts Mbappe more. and if PSG are truly targeting the UCL trophy, they will bring in established players and not players who need time to develop. That's why Enrique accepted to become PSG's head coach. because PSG's current philosophy has changed. from the mega project trio MNM, now choosing to start from scratch. Even then, most of the players brought in by PSG did not involve the coach. Supposedly, if they target it, the coach plays a very important role. Well, that's something like that in my personal opinion. There is also the case with Madrid, so far Real Madrid has stated on their official website that what is being rumored is not true. but we'll see, the time will come in the next summer window.

Monaco is not a side to neglect in this game against PSG. The club is currently in the third position three points less than PSG and they have been putting up a good performance this season. PSG will have to fight hard to win this game because Monaco is also a good attacking side. The only problem with the club is the defense. The club has conceived more goals than all the clubs in the first four positions of the Ligue One table. A win against Monaco will make PSG solidify their hold on the first spot but if it goes the other way Monaco might move to the second position. But this prediction will depend on the outcome of the match between Nice and Toulouse.

my bad..
I was mistaken the statistics, I didn't check the date.
I have edited it.. apologies..

Although PSG is projected to win in the next match against Monaco, but it still seems not easy for PSG to beat Monaco. Although indeed, at this moment PSG has managed to return to the top of the Ligue 1 standings but ya, at least Monaco also still has a good record so far this season for home and away matches. Also, last season when PSG had good dominance in Ligue 1 and was better last season than this season, but the fact is that last season PSG did not manage to beat Monaco. So ya, with such considerations, maybe I will say it is still not easy for PSG to be able to beat Monaco, because Monaco at this moment also still has a performance that is at least good and not bad at all.

Lol, what are you talking about, arimamib. Would you mind reviewing the Ligue 1 standings one more time?
Between PSG and Monaco there is only a gap of 3 points so far in 12 matches. Monaco is in 3rd position while PSG is at the top. Monaco will certainly have to have a good day to win the match against PSG, but it is not impossible.


I'm not sure what's gotten into you that some of the data you mentioned about both teams' statistics is completely different from what's happening this season. PSG has only played 6 home games this season in Ligue 1, PSG won 4 of them while they lost 1 and drew 1. I hope you can revise all the data as soon as possible so that it is not misleading.

PSG is of course still the best this season compared to all the other teams in Ligue 1. They have scored 15 goals in their 6 home games this season "especially for Ligue 1" and they have only conceded 4 goals from that. Monaco are certainly not favorites against PSG following their unconvincing away record this season. Monaco can only win 2 of 6 away matches this season and 3 of them were draws and 1 was lost.

It's one of the biggest dream of PSG to win the UCL but I doubt if that dream would come true this season considering the too many crisis they have faced already which has impacted their performance both in the champions league and the Ligue 1, most recently, since this season began.

Although they didn't start of the season badly but along the line they have been characterized with some inconsistency, although they are experienced with the champions league, it's not a guarantee they would be the champions this season because I feel the competition this season is just too high for them to handle and with the chances of them loosing a key player (mbappe) soon is another set back they will take them some time to fix even if they are hoping to get it fixed by January but it still wouldn't help them bring how the trophy to the french home.

There's nothing like luck on PSG side because only the best team come our infront to win. Paris Saint-Germain have everything under control, they're already the winners of the 2023/2024 Ligue One campaign trophy, there's definitely no competitive team to withstand the pressure from Les Parisiens. Luis Enrique have just discover another chance to top the table, Monaco can not win PSG on Parc des Princes soil, rather it can end up in draw ties. PSG are the best team in Ligue One interms of competitive strength and happen to be one of the successful teams in the France league.

PSG have a much stronger squad and a better recent record. Mbappe is in excellent form and is likely to be the key player for PSG. Monaco will need to have a perfect day to have any chance of winning this match. PSG has won their last five matches against Monaco. PSG is currently in first place in Ligue 1, 3 points ahead of Monaco who is in 3th place.

PSG is playing at home, which is a big advantage. They have consecutive winning streak with a productive front line led by Mbappe. Monaco has inconsistency in their recent games with dropping points in games they were expected to win. Based on these facts, it is clear that PSG is the clear favorite to win this match.

Monaco as well as Lille, Marseille and those teams sometimes disappoint me a lot because basically they are the ones that are most expected to be able to do things well, but when we evaluate what they can achieve, it is not only what one expects, they can start with great vigor , but in the end I think I don't know what's happening, it's like they were afraid or something, the same thing happened last season, these teams did very well, but when it was their turn to play against PSG they performed very badly, and they weren't able to face them properly, that's why PSG with Messi and Ney, Mbapé did everything, however sometimes they hated to play a very good game and that helped them to be able to assume that things could go much better, however I'm one of those who think they can't do it well at all because it's a difficult streak to break, I'm more or less the one who thinks that these teams like Monao can do things better, so it's Preferable to wait for things to flow in the correct sense.

PSG is not like it was in the previous season, it is very weak, the other French teams must take advantage of this effort to beat them without shit, they are not good, they have everything so that they can do them and pass them over , the most Decisive player they have is Mbappé Before there was Mbappé, Ney and Messi, now they are much more fragile, the other teams must take advantage of this moment to integrate better so they can fight for that Ligue 1 title because that is what it is about, we are the same people who are always seeing that teams can make a difference and I see that everyone is capable of doing it well and Better , because I have always said, they can make a difference, it is not difficult, it is just another team, or they can stop again at first and then The advantage they had is behind them, all French teams are tough, they become Strong , this is what they should always take advantage of. It is now one of the best leagues there is,  But it is time for a Good rival to emerge for PSG.


Given this, I think that Monaco still has a good chance of winning, everyone talks about PSG as if it were the best team in the world and of course they are Good, and they only have M bappé who is very good but still, I see this team as very weak Compared to last season, they were with Messi and Neymar, but from one moment to the next the Sheikh lost all the jokes that he stayed with Mbappé, and that's because he didn't want to put him in the silver lining to Madrid, this This is what many can see at the time they wanted him, now Madrid is aiming for a much clearer objective like Haaland, there are many possibilities that he will leave, but with respect to Mbappé he is the only one who is showing his face for PSG In the event that they injure him, how will they do it? PSG should be a more integral team where they can function even more without the star , although as things stand I think that Monaco itself knows what I'm saying much better and can take advantage of it if they want to, so that's all they can do in this case.

Now when they go to another type of case, where is it Estimated that PSG can win ? Yes , it can do it because it is a team that still maintains many of its players who are not stars, but they can make a difference. In the event that a player is missing, he can be replaced, but I return to the same case, if the PSG is injured by Mbappé, there is nothing left to do, they have to make miracles so that they can fill that gap, and it is presumed that in the next season Mbappé will no longer be there because he will remain a free agent, and that is because he will be a In fact , for this same Reason, for this Same reason, I believe that anything can happen in Soccer , Anything can happen in the Towns, there is nothing that can accurately predict what can happen, we don't know what the consequences are. codinones that Monaco has for now, which I am very sure they will not let themselves Win , this is what we can see that could Happen.


‘It’s something I don’t want to talk about’ – Kylian Mbappé remains tight-lipped on his future




Source: https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/its-something-i-dont-want-to-talk-about-kylian-mbappe-remains-tight-lipped-on-his-future/

I respect Monaco, but playing against PSG at home should not end in a head-to-head match, also not almost like it. I think that PSG will have plenty more chances than Monaco and most likely it will be Mbappe who decides the game. Every opponent from the Ligue 1 needs some luck and one of their best days of the year to win something in Paris. Since PSG players are fully aware of the importance of the next few weeks, it would be unexpected if they now show some signs of bad concentration.

That is PSG biggest challenge at the moment, winning the UCL trophy will make Mbappe stay. Enrique is required to be able to realize the ambitions carried by the team, while Mbappe is still with them at the moment. But for many people, this is very difficult to achieve, considering that many great players have joined the PSG club but they have not been able to win the UCL title. Madrid will not stop before their target is achieved, Perez is a person who has many ways to realize his ambition to recruit Mbappe.

PSG won the UCL, Mbappe moved, Madrid recruited another ideal striker besides Mbappe, everything is still very open to happening in the future. I think even if PSG win the UCL this season, Mbappe will still leave the club, in another context I don't think he should go to Madrid. One more thing, I'm not sure PSG will make a loss regarding Mbappe move, however they will find a solution so that the club makes a profit from the transfer.

Rather than urging the President over compelling the French Captain over a long stay with the club, you should do better than that, ensure they get the very best scouts and search for a long term potential striker that will dominate all of Europe and European Competition. That'll would be better thing to do, than to waste so much energy trying to convince a player that wouldn't want to stay a year further with the club. You should go see what happens when a player has already decided to move on.

It's not about following the same path followed by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, believe me you don't know the limitations that comes with following a great man's shoe's and footsteps.
You'll want to do better than he did and that will take all of your effort trying to beat records and stuff. A piece of advice for Kylian Mbappe is that he should move outta his comfort zone. He's spent quality time in that French League.

Have good reputation and performance  quite promising, if Mbappe does not renew his contract with PSG it will be a quite crucial loss not only for PSG but for Ligue 1 as well. He scored many goals for PSG and reached more than 300 goals in his professional career show us how to best talented from Mbappe but if PSG can reach agreement deal for extending his contract will be bad news.

Regarding with many rumor he was close with Real Madrid, but we can't forget when last several season with Mbappe contract almost expiry but reach agreement deal in the last deadline day. In my opinion, have one way how to make Mbappe extend his contract with PSG by winning Champion League tittle, its will make easy how to reach with contract extend although Madrid will not quit for signing him but if win Champion League will change Mbappe's decision to leaves PSG next season after his contract expiring.
