okay I understand what you mean in this case because indeed everyone at PSG has the same task of advancing the group whether it's players or coaches.
But on the other hand, when qualified resources are not accompanied by great management and coaching, everything will be useless. There is when a group of lions are led by dogs then they will become dogs but if a group of dogs are led by lions then their brutality will match the lions. Likewise in this case when the resources and finances owned will not go well if in the end their management cannot do well in contrast to some clubs owned by other Arab investors in different competitions such as Manchester City and even Newcastle have good progress even though this is only the second season the Arab club has poured resources into this club.

PSG is synonymous with some of their stars and until now it is like that but that is not a guarantee because their management is bad so good talent and great opportunities are just wasted.

PSG players don't seem to have any more motivation to win the match and also the team's performance is very bad in all its lines which are not well organized. Indeed, if we look at the squad at PSG they should be better but in fact currently the PSG team's performance is very poor. bad and I think a team that is in a slump that has not won in its last few matches will find it difficult to recover and it is likely that they will continue to play with the same performance.

PSG is a club with abundant financial resources. I see them being wasteful when spending on players, they spend a lot of money, but the quality of the team needs to be commensurate with the value. This season, they lost to weak teams. Their management team seems to care about something other than team performance. They are indirectly pushing PSG to the edge of the abyss. What do you think if PSG loses the Ligue 1 crown this season? The management must do something immediately to save the team.

It's too much for PSG's passionate fans to blame the stars if the team loses. I don't know how to deal with these crazy fans. This is also a factor that puts a lot of pressure on the stars, and they will be ostracized if they make mistakes or do anything that does not help the club.

Sometimes PSG can perform well when there is doubt that they will be able to beat their opponent and vice versa they can be very disappointing even though the team they are facing is the bottom team but they can only play to a draw. It is very doubtful that PSG can win this match, especially considering that they have just experienced a big defeat in the Champions League, but it is still possible for PSG to win because they are still motivated to stick with Monaco, and some of the previous bad results should not affect them at all, predictions I think this will be a match that gives PSG 3 points, they will try to break up the bad results in the previous few matches.

a manager of a team who must build good relationships with players is a must and this is like uniting chemistry between players so that whatever happens or if a manager gives advice or strategies to players it can definitely be well received without any misunderstandings and on the one hand we are talking about the future of PSG which is currently still unresolved, what problems make it difficult for this team to win the UCL title even though it already has very talented players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar still fail to win the title and Mbappe when he has problems with the team this once said that PSG is a breaking team. well, from Mbappe words we can find out a little about the reason why PSG is having difficulty getting titles in big competitions because there are problems that players think about and these are not resolved.
so it all depends on Nasser Al-Khelafi how he will build a harmonious team to get the title he wants.

All in rennes for sure. I hope mbappe fc will be losing against rennes. This match is very hard to predict. rennes is very strong when it was playing at home. I see no point for rennes to lose against mbappe. Beating mbappe fc will be also helping another club to go up again. I hope rennes will able to take three points at home.

A manager who can't build good relationships between players I think is a complete failure as a manager. There is no point in blaming the manager for such a bad situation of the team, the management has some fault with the manager. And the biggest source of discomfort for every PSG player is their rabid supporters. I've never seen my club's fans yelling at their players in the stadium like I've seen from PSG fans. All other players including Messi and Neymar are not excluded. Mbappe did not suffer this bad situation because he is a French star.  

However, I think that any talented player will not come to this club and develop himself every time, instead he will be humiliated and kicked out of the club before he can develop every time.

Metz vs Nice

This season Nice has been change became an strong team because at least until week 7 Nice has been showing very impressive performance by beating some of big teams PSG and Monaco and according to the head to head statistics i can see both teams can beat each other and they were looks equal but if we see the recent performance from them obviously Nice much better than Metz

Nice squad this season was filled by young players but they can able to managed their consistency for each matches and Nice also has strong defense because from 7 matches Nice only conceded 4 goals and for forward lines they will still rely on Terem Moffi and today i feel like Nice will be able to overcomes Metz considering the condition for Metz is not so good and in the last 2 matches Metz was lose and they even failed to scores from those matches and my prediction is Nice will be the winner of this match and the bookmakers provide good odds for Nice @1.71

Metz newly promoted are not doing well so far this season, so this game looks like a sure one for Nice to extend the unbeaten record to another game.
Occupying the top is not easy achieve able, but far from that observing the table you will notice they have moved a point just above PSG and that is a great job from Nice.

Since that have a good defense, then they will score more and defend more. There should not be a game with more that three goals.
Under 2.5 makes perfect sense.

Ligue 1 is not a big obstacle for PSG because they can slowly restore their best form in Ligue 1 until the end of the competition they are champions. But in the Champions League, PSG is not a consistent team because every season they always fail to win the UCL trophy. Even a major overhaul by buying many star players and changing coaches has not succeeded in bringing them to win the UCL trophy.

In the match against Newcastle United where PSG had to endure their embarrassment because they were beaten by a big score. Certainly the mentality of players like Mbappe will definitely be disturbed by this result because they are a team filled with quality players but in fact they are not strong enough to provide resistance to Newcastle United. Even Luis Enrique couldn't do much because he played the perfect player in that match but still they weren't the strongest when facing an EPL team.

PSG will be visiting Rennes in their league game after being humiliated by a team that haven't tested champions league football for so many years, talking about Newcastle United.
The home based champions PSG are ready to bounce back to winning ways against the host (Rennes), I believe what happened before the champions league game (playing a draw against Clermont Foot) and after the champions league game  (losing 4-1 to Newcastle) would serve as a lesson to all who thought PSG was going to win base on the bookie but played a disappointing game on both occasions, I hope many would avoid them this week.
What are they going to give us this week? A big win against a tesm that they (PSG) are using just a point to gap on the log?
Well to me that encounter is going to be another game for the SAINTS to struggle to win if not, let's expect a draw because as it is nothing good can come from PSG.

PSG can still change their performance in the Champions League this season because they can correct this defeat if they manage to win in the upcoming match. AC Milan and Dortmund also achieved a draw in yesterday's match so PSG is still superior enough to be able to secure 2nd place if in the upcoming match they are able to get 3 points. The crushing defeat to Newcastle United is indeed a valuable lesson for PSG to be able to perform better in the next 4 matches.

If you look at the positions of the 4 teams in Group F, of course AC Milan and PSG still have greater hopes of disturbing Newcastle United in first place in the upcoming match. I admit that PSG is quite depressed after this defeat because they have to really focus on improving their performance if they want to qualify for the next round. Maybe AC Milan is one of the teams that can bury PSG hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 if in the next match AC Milan manages to beat PSG.

You understand the issue at hand here. The change from Ligue 1 to Champions League for PSG is more significant than for other teams to switch from their league games to the Champions League. That is nothing money can buy unless other teams would be improved with a lot of money in Ligue 1 as well, but that is not that likely and would only come into effect in a long time from now I suppose. You gave some nice details how these leagues are different and that is something I haven't so far thought about.


It is not the end yes, but it makes the situation a lot worse for PSG because it was also a crushing defeat, which means that when both teams have the same number of points in the group, it would probably be Newcastle to advance.

Paris Saint-Germain having issues in games, their weaknesses already spotted out by opponents and they used that specific medium to invade Les Parisiens territory and net goals, exactly what Eddie Howe foreseen and use it as advantage against PSG. Their next fixture is Rennes at the Roazhon Park stadium, who wins? However Luis Enrique still working on his squad, he will face Rennes this weekend in Ligue One game, definitely a tough opponent for them but he will mapped out solid tactics to defeat Rennes boss, Bruno Genesio this weekend.

I think that things with Mbappé are Very different for me, he lost the opportunity to play with Real Madrid since the time he Said no , so now he has to play for PSG and it is very possible that he will continue at PSG, he He is already 25 years old and that age is very difficult for Madrid to Accept Him, because he is already considered Old , and things are going to happen the way they want, and what I sense is that they don't want Mbapé Anymore , because Bellingham is a player who is Meeting all the expectations they have or want in Madrid, so in this order of ideas, we cannot use Mbappé as if he were already in Madrid, in fact I see Mbappé as in Liverpool, or in other teams, but I see him further in Madrid, and starting from the fact that Mbappé is a player who is quite strong in spirit, and who is quite Capricious, well I Don't see him there , and if Madrid's new coach it will be Xabi Alonso Well obviously I think he won't want it.

Ligue 1 is now a little more fought, they no longer See PSG as a very Strong Team , they see it as achievable, that it can break the Hegemony they have , so in this order of ideas, the Mbappé effect is no longer like before, he no longer has anything , for me there are better players today, for example Haaland is one of the best players in the world, although things with this in world futbol are still Going on Messi and CR7 , Everything will be able To see the potential if Norway goes end to the world cup with his Star player and can join the competition against these legends if and only if Messi accepts to be the other player, in this order of Ideas it could Be said that in Ligue 1 it is no Longer like before, and I think that I have heard many complain , because they no Longer see the same fury, the same emotion, and well, when we Start watching world Fútbol while Messi and CR7 are active, they will not let any more players shine, I think this is something that It will Always manifest itself , the other Players have no Life Until Now , well at least For me.


Well, personally, I don't have much faith in PSG, even though they have a very good team and a Mbappé who can always save them, I think that things can still go in another direction, as they are, I think that until the last day table of Ligue 1 because they can beat him, because that is something they have to do because it is no longer the same PSG, neither Messi nor Ney is there anymore, who are the ones who can help this team a lot or those who helped this team team to be much bigger, they are already realizing that Mbappé is not the star player that everyone laughed at, now things with Luis Enrique in charge are not that he is doing well, things can get worse, if they do nothing Well, they will continue to lose, for me they have to change everything, from player to coach, if the Sheikh does nothing, things will get out of hand, for me these things are like that, of course it is my speculation, what I think, Normally I can be wrong, but I would prefer to change Luis Enrique, I didn't like how he acted with the Spanish team in Qatar.

PSG star admits truth about why they got hammered by Newcastle United

Honestly, things have to be the way they are, there is no reason to feel bad because they lost against Newcastle, so far they are a team that needs to improve a lot, more has to be done to win. That's fútbol.

I have no confidence in psg's performance.  I am very disappointed with the  performance of this team. The performance  of this team in Ligue 1 is very erratic . At the same time  the team conceded a humiliating 4-1 defeat against the likes of Newcastle in the last match of the Champions  league. PSG's strikers as well as their defenders' performances were very poor.

Rennes have a  very good record in home matches against psg. The team is unbeaten in their last 5 home matches against  PSG. Rennes won four of those matches  and drew one match. Considering the statistics, the Rennes team can  be said to be the  favorite in this match. However  PSG's  performance has been erratic. They have a strong squad. And so it is not possible  to give any prediction about psg's match for sure. But the match will be very competitive.

So far they're among the 2 teams that are still unbeaten in the Ligue 1 and i believe Nice would far this season based on their current performance and even ranked above PSG, i think PSG are not very serious and might continue to drop points if they don't work together as a team to start getting better results in their next matches, maybe this season they might lose their dominance in the league and we might see another team in the Ligue 1 title.

 Well nice are performing better than Metz and i don't think they'll end their unbeaten run against them even if they're playing away from home, Nice are going to dominate the game and score about 2 goals or more in the match.

The last game of this week is going to be Rennes - PSG. Of course PSG are favoured by bookmakers clearly. However there is an interesting head-to-head game history between these teams. I mean the games in Rennes' home.    Rennes haven't lost to them home since 2018 and won a few games as well.

While PSG are this much in trouble they don't convince me at all about winning this game either. Rennes have similar statistics with PSG in the league so far. I think they will motivate themselves very much to get some points. I would rather bet on Rennes' double chance here.

PSG's crushing defeat against Newcastle, a newcomer to the UCL, certainly hit PSG hard. Indeed, this is the worst result in UCL this season, defeated seriously in the group phase. Although this is not the end because there are still several chances later to be still qualified to the group, but this match will be always memorable as a disappointing match. For some reason, PSG often cannot be optimal in the Champions League. Even though they had football superstars there last season, they haven't been able to perform optimally in the Champions League. that's right, PSG may have a lot of things, but not UCL.

Although Nice is unbeaten in Ligue 1 until match 7 of this season. But still they haven't shown good enough progress in their performance this season because in 7 matches they only won 3 wins which made them rank in the top 4 and they are only 1 point ahead of PSG who are in 5th place.

But even so, I also agree with your opinion that Nice started this season with a better record than last season. So there is a big chance for them to stay on the winning track to take first place in this week's match.

In this week's match Nice will travel to the Saint Symphorien stadium to face Metz in the 8th match of the season. On paper, Nice are the favorites to win this match because they have been quite consistent in maintaining their performance this season.
