I don't see the possibility of PSG team winning any league other than League One. Because this team could not prove their ability even once in other leagues. I think if Ligue 1 had strong teams like other leagues then PSG team wouldn't do well there either.
It's true. LMAO

PSG never had a chance to win european competition when there were many skilled teams competing in EPL. PSG was going back again in the bad form now. I don't know how long required by the club to build the chemistry.
The chance for PSG to win UCL is almost zero. The current squad was just even more terrible compared with the last season's squad. It has been revealed that if madrid was just offering 125 millions for him.
It's 50% less compared to what already demanded by PSG which was around 250 millions. That's why PSG doesn't give a response to the real madrid.

It surprises me how madrid was offering low value for mbappe. Madrid consider 1 year remaining contract as the main reason why the club was offering less that what PSG needs.

Now that's what I said where PSG will find it difficult when they face the strongest team from another league in the Champions League. Therefore Luis Enrique must be able to make a nice change for PSG in the Champions League this season.

If you look at the quality of the PSG players this season, of course they are still strong enough because the players recruited this season are of sufficient quality to make a big contribution to the team in the Champions League.

In Ligue 1, At the start of this season psg also did not make a good start because the two matches that had been played ended without a win. Of course they must be able to win in the upcoming matches to be able to return to maintaining their concentration to get full points in every match.
I think their performance against big clubs in the Champions League depends on how fast and well the new signings adapt to the club, if you noticed they started with a poor form this season and would need to start getting a better understanding amongst themselves so to score more goals and dominate good margin like they've done in previous times.
 The previous squad they had last season looks better than this because it was filled with world class players but still they didn't perform well in the Champions League last season and lose against some smaller teams in the league, however teams success is not necessarily about having too much squad or top players but it's the team spirt and understanding about each other that matters more and thats what this current squad would need if they really want to succeed this season.
 Luis Enrique is a very good coach that had experience with top clubs in the past and have coached some of the best players across Europe so the task ahead would not be very difficult for him to handle and I know he'll try his best to shape the PSG team into a stronger one this season.

The reason for PSG to usually fails in the Champions League is mostly because of their unbalanced team and the players they bought just because the players are famous, I think they need to have a better management team and we know other reasons for them to only win French League is because if not having a good competitor in France to make them ready for the harder matches in the champions league.

Dembele is like Neymar v2 in terms of injury problems.  Smiley
I wouldn't agree more Cheesy
Dembele should take less injuries in Ligue 1 since La Liga rythme is more intense. At the opposite of Neymar, Dembele has fatigue problem with intensified training in Barcelona as far as I remember reading in one of the articles a year ago.

Right now, the first half of Nantes - Monaco match is quite disappointing for Monaco fans. Although they are pushing but Nantes are more efficient in scoring. The result is Nantes 2 - 1 Monaco by the end of the first half. The two goals of Nantes were scored in the first 15 minutes of the game..

I don't want to be negative about Dembele and his transfer because we haven't seen anything from him yet but if Dembele was a good player and worth this huge amount of money, Xavi could keep him in the team for another season. Dembele is a player who was usually out of the squad in Barcelona mostly because Dembele was not in good form.
However, the playing style of Dembele and Neymar are not the same and the reason for Neymar to get injured is mostly because of his playing style.

Talking about Dembele, he is a very complete player in terms of speed, dribbles and good finishing. He can play on both wings and it depends on which side Luis Enrique puts him on. If later he enters as a starter, it is likely that he will occupy the right winger position, then Mbappe the left winger, and Goncalo Ramos will become the main strikers. I think it will make it easier for PSG to win the game than to bench one of those players again. PSG's responsibility is getting heavier because they are required to win this home match perfectly and if they still lose, of course things will heat up in the locker room and Luis Enrique's fate could be in danger.
Of course Luis Enrique has to play Kylian Mbappe, Goncalo Ramos and Dembele as starters. That is the best line-up I can think of from PSG right now instead of playing Lee Kang-in, Goncalo Ramos and Vitinha like they did against Toulouse last week. To be honest it hasn't had a good impact on PSG's game, but if Mbappe, Ramos and Dembele start then I can expect PSG to do better in attack.

After all, Lens is not a team that PSG can underestimate in that match even though Lens has actually performed poorly in the last two matches. PSG must win that match because they have to collect as many points as possible so they are not far behind the leaders of the standings. Luis Enrique needs to emphasize to the players that 3 points is the main target in that match instead of losing the maximum points again.

Tomorrow Nantes vs Monaco of French Soccer League will start the match between these two teams. In this match, the Monaco team is much stronger. It is not clear in advance which team will win this match. But I hope Monaco team will perform very well in this match. Nantes team  Monaco team will have more chances to win this match if they perform poorly.
Two different results were achieved by these two teams before and as hosts Nantes should be able to win this game because after all they cannot suffer the same fate as last season. Monaco are coming in confident with two wins and they will be looking for a third win this game. Statistically, the meeting between the two was dominated by a draw and I doubt that this time Monaco will win easily. The thing that has become my focus is the possibility that the two teams will draw with each other scoring goals and that is a pretty reasonable option so far if you want to bet.

The match will not be easy, in my opinion, for either Nantes or Monaco, and it will be very difficult to predict, but based on their most recent performances, I can say that Monaco has been in good form because they have won both of their games in France's Ligue 1 competition. When compared to Nantes' performance, I will say that Monaco has higher chances to win the game because Nantes has not displayed great performance in their most recent two games because they lost both two.Because it's a home game for Nantes and I think Nantes will be good, I see the game as challenging. However, let's wait and watch what transpires as well as how both teams perform tonight.

Dembele is like Neymar v2 in terms of injury problems.  Smiley  I hope that he doesn't get any lasting injury otherwise this transfer won't mean anything. He had this kind of issues at Barcelona and this was even a topic to mock for Barcelona fans. Dembele is a great player with high level skills. But he needs to be care about his health as much as possible on one hand.

He played for 40 minutes against Toulouse and started the season with his new team. Now there might be some adaptation process maybe. But I think he can be quite beneficial for the team together with Mbappe.

Goncalo Ramos is also in adaptation phase now. But with Mbappe this phase can speed up actually. Once Ramos starts to score he can regain his self-confidence.

Since Kylian Mbappe has been strategically retained for this season at PSG, I think Mbappe will not play at his best in every match. But PSG have done a great job by signing Dembele, I think Dembele is undoubtedly a fantastic forward.
Dembele is also expected to be able to help other players at PSG like Kylian Mbappe, because PSG is now different from last season so that every player at PSG is expected to be able to maximize their potential and abilities in all matches so that PSG doesn't get worse this season. Tomorrow PSG will host Lens at the Parc des Princes, and as we know that Lens is not a weak team in Ligue1 so PSG must play better if they want to get full points at their own home for tomorrow.

I won't deny that money has made them what they are today, but is that the only reason why they can't impress on the European stage? Of course not. We can see from how their situation in the squad, yes they always have problems between one another, be it players with players, players with coaches and others, so with that problem their chemsitry is very difficult to create and the impact on their game is always messy. Star players will not always be a guarantee as long as their relationships are not good,
When you want to create a team just with money and not with a system that happens. City was a good club even before Pep came along, but they became something special with Pep, how come? Because they built a whole system with him and gave him the ropes and tell him to build any team he wants. Just to give an example, if PSG hired Pep tomorrow, and he started to manage that team for a few years, I guarantee you that he will build a team that will win UCL there too.

City took way too long, longer than it should, they had some chances they could have won and got unlucky, it happens and they finally got it, and got the treble along with it as well. As long as PSG doesn't have a system and just throw money at the problems, they won't win UCL.

I've heard the same news about Mbappe being in talks with PSG to extend his contract. The French striker is reportedly negotiating his renewal with PSG, although I couldn't find a reliable source for this information. Mbappe has already expressed his interest in staying at PSG for this season only and leaving as a free agent in 2024. Despite various reports circulating, my expectation is that he will stay for just one more season as following the contract.
I got the impression that these rumors are being spread by representatives of PSG to put pressure on Mbappe (but it’s not clear due to what - the reaction of the fans maybe?). There is no confirmation of these negotiations, and judging by the fact that PSG once again announced the desired amount that they want to receive for Mbappe (250 million), this sounds like an invitation to all interested clubs (in fact, only to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid is not interested in such nonsense).
This may be a strategy of PSG management. They may be spreading rumors that Mbappe is interested in renewing his contract with PSG. And as a result, teams like Real Madrid who are ready to bring Mbappe into the squad can offer a bigger sum. And I've also heard rumors that Real Madrid management will try one more time to sign Mbappe before the transfer window closes. But it is not sure yet.

Most of Mbappe's relationship rumors are false. In the last few seasons we have seen Mbappe express interest in coming to Madrid. But every year he renewed his contract with PSG. And it won't be surprising if we see the same thing again.
Since Kylian Mbappe has been strategically retained for this season at PSG, I think Mbappe will not play at his best in every match. But PSG have done a great job by signing Dembele, I think Dembele is undoubtedly a fantastic forward.

How Mbappe will play is totally uncertain. Yes I know Mbappe's behavior is not good but he is a world class player without any doubt. Mbappe is a great player, however, we have not seen a better performance than Mbappe in his first match in Ligue 1. Let's see if he can play well in the next match.

Whether or not Dembele is a good signing for PSG remains to be seen. Dembele is a good player, but you know the problem is his fitness is not good. Dembele suffered a minor injury, if Dembele can maintain his fitness with PSG, and not suffer too many injuries, I would still say that it was a smart decision for PSG to bring Dembele into the team. However, PSG needed another experienced striker, it would be profitable for PSG if they were able to buy Osimhen.

This is another good player but what is the difference between him and the former number ten of the club. Neymar also has the same issues as Dembele they are not players you can count on for the full season just to say this they roh the club by taking more and doing less such players payroll needs to be decreased.
Expect nothing from him because he will end up more worse than hazard who left very good to Real Madrid qns turned a very big flop.
In that attack, the most trustworthy player is mbappe even if he has been agitating to leave PSG secretly.

At one time PSG spent the most money in terms of signing players but they still have zero achievements in the Champions League. No matter how much money a club spends, if the players don't have a good relationship then the club spending that much money is a total waste of investment. Mbappe, Neymar, Messi are very important stars of these three clubs, but Mbappe and Neymar's relationship is bad. Mbappe and Messi's relationship is bad, that is, if there is no good relationship between the three main stars, how can the team's performance be good. PSG could not do well in Champions League due to lack of good relationship between players, lack of good quality manager in the club, lack of good quality midfielder in the team.
Just spending money and having success is not good deal which is clearly showing in few leagues with top teams like PSG and Chelsea both spending huge amounts but sadly still looking for their first win things never been working on merit with they need some patience and coordination between players as well because without this we can expect positive results after departure of big players suddenly PSG is having goals drought which is surely big concern in last two games they have just one goal which scored by Mbappé on penalty.

But we can expect good changes because new coach is good and need time for adjusting players and working on his strategy which will surely help them for having better result in coming weeks now after departure of Neymar and Messi Mbappe is alone with Dembele so can he lead from the front, and they can lead from the front it's a big question which is looking for the answers.
To me both clubs spent these money on wrong players that is the different, that is why Psg has not achieve Champions league, last season they brought in wrong set of players with huge sum of money, yet they did not achieve any good result.  same with chelsea, they bought so many players last season , young stars into the club but are still performing badly week by week, no change, in spite of the coaches they have changed to better the team, look the way Real Madrid and Manchester city sign players, they don't just sign to get media attention, they sign who fit into their playing pattern. that's why they are super in their respective leagues.

Psg and Chelsea should not be signing so much players,its difficult to manage them, puting alot of pressure on the coach.

Tomorrow Nantes vs Monaco of French Soccer League will start the match between these two teams. In this match, the Monaco team is much stronger. It is not clear in advance which team will win this match. But I hope Monaco team will perform very well in this match. Nantes team  Monaco team will have more chances to win this match if they perform poorly.
I think that you shall try to get information regarding head to head between monaco vs nantes. Monaco is far better compared with nantes. It's the same like when you are watching manchester city against burnley in EPL. Monaco was always dominating the match against nantes. Even though nantes may able to give pressure for monaco but i do believe if monaco will be winning this game. Monaco just need to be consistent in defending from the counterattack that may be coming from nantes.



The odds favoring monaco and it makes sense if monaco had very big chance to win in this match.

After escaping the relegation zone last season, Nantes finished one point outside the relegation zone. in this season it looks like Nantes really want to start off well in the 2023/2024 season, but they seem to have picked up where they left off. Nantes fell to Toulouse with a score of 1-2, they also lost to Lille with a score of 2-0. in this match, Nantes will host Monaco, which is currently at the top of the standings. not an easy match for them, especially since Nantes' performance is not very good.

On the contrary, Manaco appeared confident even though this match was an away game, they won their two matches at the start of this competition with quite satisfactory results. now, they will be playing their match in the next few hours. on paper, Manaco has a fairly high probability of toppling the home team.
unique, referring to the H2H meeting of these two teams. in the last 5 matches in all competitions, Manaco was only able to win 1 match and the rest were draws. The question is whether this match will end in a draw like the last meeting between the two teams with a score of 2-2. did not rule out the possibility of the match potentially ending in a draw. but for sure, we wait for the results of this match.

Unfortunately, yes.
Yes, they should. however, the draw in the first two games for PSG is not good enough. PSG has indeed experienced a slight decline in performance, perhaps due to the lack of good players there. And currently their performance is still unstable. There is some work that Enrique has to fix. The first two matches were failures, even though they didn't lose, PSG class should be able to get full points in those matches. It's probably still early in the season, so at least they still have plenty of opportunities to fix it and take the top position again as long as Enrique can make his whole team work optimally and ignore the skewed issues that might exist at his club.
The combination of teams that is still not going well and maybe like our previous discussion that they have to try to adapt quickly, both the system implemented by Luis Enrique and adaptation with several new players. For the third match, hopefully Luis Enrique will have a special formation and strategy to beat Lens and I hope he includes Mbappe and Dembele at the start of the match, because after all these two players can be a serious threat to the Lens defense if both play faster than starting from the bench.

The pre-season and the of two official Ligeu 1 matches were enough for Luis Enrique to try to see some of his team's weaknesses and in the future matches they should have found a special formation to play. Although there is also no guarantee that in the next few matches PSG will perform much more consistently, Lens has also performed less well in the previous matches and Luis Enrique should be able to take advantage of this to get full points.

I agree with you partially because just spending money and having trophies not working they need to be understood ground realities as well which are also important like we have in Manchester City and few other clubs they are using their funds wisely and having better results but here at PSG they are doing all things just with the big names which are surely not guaranteed for the success they also need to work on strategy and better depth between players which bring better rhythm which is also important for the success right now they have good coach now just need to understand few things and allow him for the important changes and also allow him for long term strategy because with this most chances they can fill their dream of having Champions Trophy into their pocket but if they fail with this coach then surely things could be more than worst for them in coming years.
