I think Mbappe has been in his best form this season where he has succeeded in bringing changes to PSG performance, where they have secured two wins so far from the 4 matches they have played. I believe that concentration will not be disturbed in the slightest even though many media continue to talk about the future but the main focus this season is only on PSG. It could even be that he will renew his contract in the winter window because we know he often makes decisions that might surprise some people.

Several star players have left PSG this season but that gap has been repaired by Luis Enrique with the signings he made in the transfer window. Even their new players are starting to be well organized with Luis Enrique playing pattern. I think they are able to go stronger in Ligue 1 this season and PSG is a strong candidate to win the title this season. Monaco will not be strong enough to break PSG dominance in Ligue 1.

There's no need to wait until a decade because it's too long. Even if PSG has been winning the league 1 some years a row can prove that if the league 1 already dominated by PSG.
The valuation of club has said about the truth. PSG was always winning league 1, that's why the club was aiming to winning ucl by buying messi and neymar but it's all failed. PSG is trying even harder in getting UCL trophy caused by all of european clubs will be recognizing the club as the strongest club in the european continent. That's why PSG is now trying so hard to win it. PSG was always winning league 1 easily.
The club aware if PSG needs to aim for the bigger achievement on its club. UCL has become the main target by khelaifi spent a lot of money to buy the various players.
It's main reason why PSG was also buying mbappe and neymar with transfer records.

If I'm not wrong Lens was in second place in the French League table and they had a good performance during the last season, Even Lens had a close race with PSG and there was only one point difference between them so far in this season Lens didn't have a good performance. However It's too soon to talk about them, and we know Lyon is the team they were always at the top of the table but time after Lyon had a bad performance.
    

The quality of players in the Paris Saint Germaine squad is just too big to be compared to the rest of the club's in the French Ligue 1 competition and that's why they've been consecutively winning the league for the past 9 football seasons.
But the management of the French club isn't very much interested in the French league again rather they are very much interested in winning the UEFA Champions League title which has never been won by the club since it was formed.

Yes, at least if he really dreams of being at Real Madrid, he will try to be there next transfer season after his contract is completely finished with PSG. For now, let him focus on PSG first, at least so that PSG can be optimal this season. And that's what professional players are like, they have to continue to contribute optimally even though they already think they want to go to another club. Indeed, PSG itself still really hopes that Mbappe will extend his contract at PSG in the future, but that will really depend on Mbape's own decision. We might hope a lot if Mbappe really goes to Real Madrid, but this cannot be 100% certain, because considering how last season went, where Mbappe was always rumored to be moving to Real Madrid and almost had a done deal. but in fact it still continues at PSG. However, maybe this will be different if Mbappe's contract actually expires and is not extended again.

I wouldn;t say PSG win the title the most times; instead lets say its PSG time to dominate the ligue 1. if you follow european football alot; you will remember Olympique Lyon, who had players like Benzema etc win the league title in France for 7 consecutive years back in the 2000s; Its just PSG time to dominate and they have done so over the past few years

What most teams fail to do is replace their departed players with new talented players that would replace the departures and that's why Lens have been very poor this season with their performance, the departure of Loiz Openda has really affect them this season and since they're facing alot of difficulties in the Ligue 1 currently they may even face worst again Arsenal, PSV and Sevilla in the Group B table of the Champions League competition.
 I think Lyon and Lenz are both sharing similar situations because they both have three loses and one draw the only difference is Lenz gaping them with a one goal difference, I do no expect the performance on both clubs at the beginning of the season because they performed brilliantly especially Lenz that finished second last season with 84 points just one point below the Champions Paris Saint-Germain.

It seems that these two teams will find it difficult to return to their best performance, they started the season campaign with very poor performance. Even when Lens started their first match, they lost to Brest. After that, Lens became increasingly inconsistent, being held to a draw by Rennes, losing with a big score when they visited PSG headquarters, as well as in the match against Monaco. It seems that Franck Haise's touch is no longer as influential as when they played last season.
The departure of Seko Fotana and Lois Openda has had an impact on their performance this season. We'll see, in the next match Lens will play Metz. Whether they are able to win their first match in this competition, it will be interesting for us to wait. Apart from that, the Champions League competition will be held soon, if Lens are unable to restore their performance, they will experience even more problems.

Lyon's condition is not much similar to Lens, they did not get a single win in their 4 matches in this competition. In fact, Lyon has brought in several newcomers, but has been unable to replace the players who have left this summer. The position of these two teams is now in the relegation zone, if they are unable to recover, it will be a problem for these two clubs. In particular, maintaining the back line is an issue that must be prioritized. The reason is, in their four matches, both teams conceded 10 goals. So, let's see how these two coaches are able to improve their team's mentality and performance.

I agree that it is not going to happen, those are just rumors and I sense that maybe that is from the manager of those players  to make their worth go up so that they could end up making a better contract deal with their own teams.

Specially regarding Mbappe, I feel like his manager goes "look how much Mbappe wants Real Madrid and how much Real Madrid wants him, unless you pay him world record breaking amount, he will leave" and the negotiations go like that and seems like he could be doing that again. He is not going to sign until the last second to make the team offer the absolute best and then accept that and stay at PSG without a doubt, that feels like the most possible thing and should be possible on the long run.

Monaco is at the top of the points table with maximum 10 points. PSG is in the second position of the points table with 8 points after losing four points in 4 matches. Clubs in Ligue 1 apart from PSG have a chance to win the league title this season as PSG have no significant stars apart from Mbappe this season. PSG has already lost four points in the first four matches, if it continues to lose points in the following matches, then it will be difficult for PSG to be between number one and five in the points table. To do well, PSG must defend points. If they lose points in regular matches then they cannot recover those points later.

Lens and Lyon are in a bad zone, they have not been able to taste victory in four matches, both of them started the season very badly. Moreover, Lens this team incredibly consistent last season. But in the transfer market this summer they lost important players, so their performance declined after the departure of several key players. Meanwhile, Lyon actually had a chance to get three points in the match against Nice, but unfortunately the striker Alexandre Lacazette can't play in that match, if he plays there is a possibility Lyon can score in that match and maybe can win. Both teams currently have poor defensive, they have conceded 10 goals so far.

I can't imagine seeing Lens at the bottom of the table after four games played. I may say that Lens is really weak currently, or is it because they face big clubs like PSG and Monaco? If that were the case, let's see what Lens will play in their next match against Metz. Maybe they will be able to win the game, but if they aren't, I will say Lens will face a lot of challenges this season because this is just the beginning of the season, where different competitions have yet to start and they are playing is poorly compared to when other competitions start, where loads will be on their players, like the Champions League. I can't say much, but this poor start may not favor team.

If the PSG team wins the Ligue 1 title consecutively in the next 10 seasons. Even so, I won't call this team good until they can perform well in places like the Champions League. The team has been trying to do well in the Champions League for the past couple of seasons but nothing is improving. What do you think about this?

PSG win the title most of the time because barely no team could stop losing easy games when PSG waste many points. We are 4 rounds from the start of the season, PSG already lost 4 points while Lens and Lyon are sitting in the last places, Nice and Rennes around the middle of the table, Marseille got 2 draws like PSG and Monaco already got a draw vs Nantes..

This is because the PSG team has better players than the other teams in Ligue1, but this only benefits PSG in Ligue1 because in other leagues such as UCL PSG was still not so lucky until last season. And it is hoped that PSG can provide a better performance this season in the UCL with a greater level of consistency even though PSG faced difficult opponents in the group stage this time in the UCL. Meanwhile, it is still very possible that PSG will get the Ligue1 trophy this season, although I hope that another team will be able to get it this season.

Actually I don't really have a problem with the fans' anger towards their club but indeed for some fans of PSG it seems like people who are lacking in maturity (some not all).
An example of last season where they stormed Neymar's residence which of course this would be very funny because the fans themselves did something that was actually quite ridiculous so in this case when Neymar left and linked the defeat because of the loss of Neymar and Messi in this squad would be very funny if you see the behavior of some fans who are like childish.

I expect something good from the fan reaction when next season for example Mbappe decides to leave PSG

Real Madrid is a great team and any player has an interest in joining this team but the fact about players like Mbappe and Haaland is these players can't leave their teams easily because we know Haaland is still under contract with his team and he can't leave his team easily, in the other hand, Mbappe is interested to join Real Madrid and leave PSG but they will do anything in PSG to keep in in the team because we know even Enrique is counting on Mbappe, there is even the chance for Mbappe to extend his contract with PSG.  

Currently, the Ligue 1 competition can still be said to be competitive. after all, the competition has only been running for 4 weeks. We will soon find out more, at least the league has been running for half the season. We will see which team will be the most consistent when playing match after match. However, Paris Saint-Germain has a bigger chance than other teams. The probability that they have to continue to dominate this league still seems too strong in the competition to win the trophy.

As for Monaco, we'll see how far they can show their consistency. Moreover, currently Monaco has brought in Balogun from Arsenal. we will see, can they break PSG's dominance, it's worth waiting for.
Marseille, this team has always been a strong competitor for the French league giants. However, in the 4 matches they played the results were not very satisfactory. The same goes for Aubameyang, he hasn't shown his abilities so far. One thing I'm not sure about with Marseille is that Marcelino tends to always use a 4-4-2 system.
This system already seems outdated in the current era of football. and yes, as I said, we also agree, PSG's dominance in the race for trophies will be difficult for rival teams to break. Even without Messi and Neymar, Luis Enrique still has a competitive squad, especially in this competition.

The behavior of PSG fans towards their players is always fierce. When PSG signs a new player, the fans will welcome him to PSG, but after a few days, PSG fans will start making bad noise about him. When Neymar and Messi joined PSC as new players the fans were very interested in them but within a few seasons the fans started to show their true colors. How can a player perform well if a club's own supporters are against a player? With Messi and Neymar gone, their headache may begin with another player. No player will stay at the club if the players don't get the respect they deserve from the fans.
