It is not surprising for PSG to still be able to defend their title and even though they experienced bad results at the start of the season, they managed to complete their mission until the end of the season. Ligue One will remain a farmers' league as long as PSG continues to dominate and that will remain the case for the next few years. Mbappe should accept a new challenge outside France because it would be a shame if he continued to be in a team that won the domestic league title too easily.

Real Madrid will be a suitable home for Mbappe in the competition for other prestigious titles as well as individual awards such as the Ballon D'or which he will definitely be able to win easily. For years in France, it was like breakfast that he could always enjoy, but often he had to try new breakfast menus that were more challenging when competing with strong teams and other great players.

Xabi Alonso is new to Ligue One? I think it's still too early but I also hope it will be there later because it's very boring to see PSG have no competitors who can threaten them every season.

When I first saw your post I thought PSG won against Le Havre and I saw the result wrong. But you were talking about the Ligue 1 title, okay. 

Yeah PSG were already too comfortable in the league for a long time which is the same scenario we see nearly every season. This is killing the competitiveness of the league though but there is really nothing we can do about it. PSG is rich and it is easy for them to win this title over and over again. Even though they actually have horrible stats like 10 draws considering their superiority, they can still become the champions without any problem. This is what makes this league boring. 

Last weekend in the French Ligue 1, Paris Saint Germaine were able to win the French Ligue 1 title which was their 12th time in the club's history and the 8th time they've won in the the last 10 seasons making them the most successful French team of the the last decade. They've dominated the league since their new owners Qatar Sports Investments QSI took over the ownership of the club since 2011 and that's because their new owners have been signing a lot of quality players in to the team to help them dominate the entire league for this long period of time.
I don't think Paris Saint Germaine's dominance of the French league is ending anytime soon because the French champions is the most star studded among the other teams in the league and will still be very much active in the transfer window in the summer. The club's major problem at the moment isn't about dominating the French league but to extend their dominance to Europe.

I think most of us will say the same thing, that Ligue 1 is a competition where only one team runs so that the competition is monotonous because there is no competition which makes us more interested in watching Ligue 1. Practically Paris Saint Germain is the only team that are very strong here, so they can easily win the title every season. Even when they are not serious about their matches, they can still become champions. Don't misunderstand when I say they are not serious, because we can see when they were held to a draw by Le Havre this week.

One way we can see the league running competitively is by seeing other teams improve their performance. Maybe they can get big investors to be interested in them and help them financially, so they can do what Paris Saint Ermain can do. Because the difference in their levels is too great in my opinion, there must be something that can make them more enthusiastic so that they can raise their level, at least not much different from Paris Siant Germain.

Congratulations for PSG because without working too hard they can able to being an the champion of this season although recently PSG only can playing draw from Le Havre but it won't have any affect to their position on League Table even with the loses from Monaco PSG has 11 points above to Monaco and with only 3 matches remaining they points cannot be pursuing again and indeed this result is predictable because since the beginning of season PSG have no decent opponents for race title so this makes PSG always be comfortable to placing first place until today

On the other hand i think Lyon was fantastic because they can able to beat Monaco and now they have 44 points from 31 matches and Lyon currently only have 2 points below to Lens and if Lyon can win in the next 3 matches i think potentially they can taking over Lens position and finish at 6th place which mean automatically playing at Conference League but for Monaco this loses indeed don't have any affect to their position on second place but their position is still not fully secured so Monaco have to bounce back immediatelly and gets the winning results from the next matches but Monaco next week will gets easy opponent Clermont

Congratulations to PSG on another win in Ligue 1. However, I hope that in the future there will be a team capable of competing with them. PSG is considered the favorite every season because of their dominance and high level of play. But the French championship is a one-team championship, so it is very boring to watch.

Yes Warren Zaire-Emery got contract extension until 2029 but looking at how he played for PSG for two seasons it actually not that impressive and what he gave for PSG doesn't look that competitive even though he is one of the main players.
Previously PSG also had several star players who were obviously paid quite lot of money but there were no titles outside of Ligue 1 that they could get, now PSG is just surviving with what they have.
Contract extension for Warren Zaire-Emery can be said to be good news because PSG does not need to spend large amounts of money on purchase options and with this extension PSG can have investment assets in young players.
In the future maybe he will become great player and really be valuable asset for PSG but this is not easy and Enrique has to work hard to achieve all that.

What is still question and something that is quite anticipated in the PSG squad is actually who Mbappe replacement will be next season, we see that Mbappe will leave and PSG will definitely look for replacement.
Mbappe replacement in the future will be very influential and can be an assessment of PSG performance because without Mbappe they are not really strong team like in recent seasons.

The draw obtained by PSG against Le Havre was really embarrassing, PSG's reserve players should have been able to take advantage of the game to win and win Ligue 1 this season, I thought that by fielding reserve players, PSG would be able to win easily against Le Havre who were in the relegation zone, but it turned out that I was wrong because Le Havre played better than PSG,  PSG almost had to postpone their championship celebrations this season if Monaco won from Lyon, but now PSG had to thank Lyon because  Lyon victory allowed PSG to celebrate today's championship after Lyon beat Monaco with a score of 3-2.
 
In 3 days we will see the first leg of the semi-final between Dortmund and PSG played, although both teams had poor results in the league this week, but I think it will not have too much effect on their performance in the Champions League later, PSG and Dortmund will of course field the their best squad in the match will be because indeed both for now are only focused on Champions League matches while the league of course they will only play half-heartedly, because of the different situations of the two teams in the league at the moment.

Don't be too surprised by the results of the PSG vs Le Havre match, because a team that is weaker than Le Havre even held PSG to a draw twice this season namely Clermont and another weak team that managed to hold PSG to a draw is Lorient, and you can see how PSG this season achieved 10x the results draw, maybe PSG underestimated their opponents because they were just a team that was in the relegation zone, but this draw did not prevent PSG from confirming the Ligue 1 title before the match against Dortmund because Lyon managed to beat Monaco so that PSG's points could no longer be chased by their competitors.

Will a draw from Le Havre make PSG a doubtful team in the match against Dortmund? I think not because you can see that even though PSG will be away team in the first match, they have odds that are not much different from Dortmund and their opponents have just lost badly to their rivals in the Bundesliga, so overall PSG can be said to be better than Dortmund, but that's true it's not a guarantee that PSG will win.

Well, actually, they can do that, as long as they intend to do it. Now if they only recruit star players, then they will have strength for at most 3 seasons in my opinion, and after that they have to go back to looking for other star players to replace their old players or whose contracts have expired or choose to leave the team like Mbappe. Meanwhile, if they build a foundation from the ground up or regenerate, they will gain strength that can last longer.
Indeed, it takes time, and actually they can do 2 different things at the same time. We can see what Real Madrid is doing, they are not immediately replacing all their players with young players for regeneration, but they are doing it slowly. And we can see what they can show now, with the many young players they have, they can reach the semifinals of the Champions League, and they also managed to become champions in La Liga. You don't have to be proud when you follow the method used by other teams, as long as it has a positive impact.

Congratulations on winning the French league this season, PSG. Enrique did an excellent job assisting PSG in defending its trophy. King MBAPPE has won the French League three times in a row now. I believe it is time for Mbappe to leave the club and join another to pursue a new challenge. I am confident that mbappe can do it.
Having said that, he appears to have an easy time in the French league. It's time for Mbappe to face a more difficult challenge, such as moving to Real Madrid. This will allow him to improve his performance even more than before. Mbappe is doing extremely well this season.

I hope he goes to the real Madrid. It's unbelievable how Monaco draws against its opponent. It helps PSG win the French League trophy even earlier than I expected. PSG did it again.
There is no doubt that this is the PSG league. Paris Saint German has consistently won the competition at any time. I am confident that this league will have the same fate as the Bundesliga. There must be someone like Xabi Alonso who can end PSG's dominance.

Once again PSG won the domestic league title for the umpteenth time and if I'm not mistaken this is the 12th trophy that PSG has won in League One, for more than a decade PSG has continuously won titles and it looks like it will continue like that if there is no competition. competitive between other clubs. Bayer Leverkusen became the differentiating club that broke the dominance of Bayern Munich, which for many years won the Bundesliga. I thought Nice was initially also able to break PSG's dominance in League One but it turned out that Nice still couldn't match PSG's performance.

It's really boring to watch matches in League One because in my opinion it's less interesting and not as competitive as other leagues. PSG's victory in winning the title has become commonplace and is no longer an extraordinary achievement for PSG. An extraordinary achievement for PSG is if it can Winning the UCL title this season would be an achievement that would certainly surprise everyone.

The burden of winning the Ligue 1 title no longer matters to PSG because they have confirmed themselves. Now Luis Enrique's focus is facing Dortmund and I don't think there will be an easy way for PSG to qualify for the final. Dortmund is also a strong team that is difficult to predict and they also have quality players, so PSG cannot assume that this match will be much easier to face. Going through several phases to reach the semifinals is not an easy thing and I am sure Dortmund will try to play more coordinated.

PSG's chances of qualifying do look bigger and Luis Enrique must really take advantage of this condition. Because the competition in Ligue 1 has finished and they have ensured that the title will not be achieved by other teams. If this season PSG cannot take advantage of the opportunity, in the future it will be much more difficult for them to reach the semifinals or final in the Champions League.

PSG's strong ambition to win the Champions League title will be the main priority in the Champions League because PSG will be more focused on the Champions League to beat Dortmund. PSG has locked the League 1 title early because Monaco's defeat to Lyon made PSG win the title quickly so PSG no longer needs to bother dividing its focus on the domestic league and also the Champions League. It only needs to focus on the Champions League to be able to qualify for the final and win the title he had been dreaming of all this time. But this is not easy for PSG because they will face one of the best clubs in the Champions League, whether it is Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

The second time this season Monaco was beaten by Lyon, when Lyon was still in the relegation zone Monaco couldn't beat Lyon even playing at home, especially now where Lyon has experienced quite good improvement so Monaco is not a club that can make things difficult for him. At first I thought Lyon would win because of luck, but because of this second meeting, I believe that Lyon actually has a good strategy when facing fellow top clubs and Lyon deserves this victory, the fight for 2nd place is still a fierce competition between Monaco, Brest and Lille, we'll see who ends up who will occupy the runner up position at the end of the season.

Every time a new season begins, congratulations should be given to PSG because they will continue to be winners in the Ligue 1 race because no team has been able to compete with PSG in the title race like Bayern Munich has experienced this season in the Bundesliga. PSG success in securing the title sooner than expected is very beneficial for them, PSG can shift all their focus to UCL who will face Dortmund.
Being in the UCL semifinals is a good achievement for PSG who previously failed in the last 16. Luis Enrique will try to take advantage of this moment to reach the final and get them closer to the trophy. Enrique's effect might be able to influence PSG in the UCL because he has experience with Barcelona, he knows what must be done to maintain his team chances of winning a title that has never been won before.

In any case, PSG will still have difficulty becoming champions of the Champions League because they have to face one of the strong candidates, namely Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, in the final. So in my opinion PSG needs great luck to be able to win the Champions League trophy this season, but that is not impossible in football. Luis Enrique presence as manager might bring them luck, because he has previous experience with Barcelona. It is clear that this is the best opportunity for PSG to realize their ambition, considering that Mbappe is still by their side, which I think next season this player will leave, and they will have even more difficulties. Let's see how lucky PSG is this season, it is possible that they will be eliminated by Dortmund in the semifinals.

Warren Zaïre-Emery contract extension was well deserved for all the contributions he's made at the club this season the France international before this season wasn't a known figure in Paris Saint Germaine but after a glittering season where he recorded more success than he's ever achieved with Paris Saint Germaine, he's now a familiar name among fans of the club. Investing in young players is the best way to secure a club's future and Paris Saint Germaine as we all know aren't good in that rather, they prefer signing players that are already known globally but this time, they decided to do otherwise. If they can continue investing on young players like Warren Zaïre-Emery in the future, the club will not have to break the bank to sign big name players in fews years from now

Winning Champions League will be their ultimate goal and it might have a huge impact on PSG future. Since the team was declared champion thanks to the failure of Monaco away in front of Lyon by 3 goals to 2, then its concentration on winning Champions League star will be better.
Otherwise poor Monaco made a huge mistake letting Lyon win against them since Lille are now just three points away from them.

It's not a secret that Champions League is the main target for PSG, not only this season, but every season since they have spent big amount of money to sign great players. PSG is a young club founded in 1970 that means they dont have rich history. Aiming Champions League is one way for them to create a big history for a Ligue 1 club, because Ligue 1 have only one club that have won Champions League, which is Marseille.

This season is another opportunity for them to write their history. They have big chance to reach the Champions League final, because they seem to be favorite to win the match against Borussia Dortmund. Enrique will push his effort to their best limit to achieve this big dream, and this is the objective reason PSG signed him as the manager.

Today recorded so many games in the Ligue 1 and the most fascinating results i saw today was that of Brest, this is a ream that's see as a weak or fairly average team so getting such victory in such margin actually caught my attention because i would doubt at the beginning of the game that they will be able to achieve that much from this match but then to my surprise rhsy achieved a result they haven't gotten before from this season.

Nice and Marseille also had brilliant results too which i consider a good victory for their position and they are all scaling up their points making it much more closer to the top of the table and been able to maintain a position amongst the top four this season of which I'm optimistic that the gap between the top team and than my not be That much as PSG has not been winning all of their games in recent times and it's causing their points to drop while the others seem to be closing the gap gradually but then I'm sure PSG will definitely make sure to win the Ligue 1.

The champions league has seem to be the major distraction for PSG this season but then if considered, it will be seen as a good distraction for them because I'd they eventually succeed in the champions league a s are able to get the trophy or get to finish at the second position, it will be a fair and good one, they have actually gotten to the finals of the champions league before but getting there again will be a good one for them.
