Do you think it is inconsistency? Lens finished the season with 84 points, which I think was a quite consistent season for any Ligue 1 team other than PSG. It doesn't matter if it is Olympique Lyon or Marseille or Monaco, the difference here is the money. PSG doesn't have the better coach or anything else that could give them an advantage, but when there is no other club that can compete on eye-level with them in terms of the money, how consistent does a team have to play in order to beat PSG in a season and how bad does PSG have to play? This is unbalanced because of money. Give Messi, Neymar and Mbappe to Lens and I guess they would have won Ligue 1 last season.

Inconsistency is one of Paris' primary challenges, not only in Ligue One, but also in higher-level competitions like as the UEFA Champions League. PSG is used to lifting their local league trophy; now it's time to try out for bigger titles; it's the only evidence that they're developing in their game. PSG in possession of big names in football, but they're still unable to win a significant trophy. They're always competitive, but there are no results to show for it. The president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi should implement enhanced ways to improved their strategy inother to start recording winnings.

To be able to become a team that is consistent and also strong on the European stage requires a long process and time, we look in the mirror like the Manchester City team even though they have a lot of money but they can't excel on the European stage (formerly) but with the long process that went through the team they are currently one of the best teams in europe.
Likewise with PSG, they think achievements can be bought instantly by recruiting many stars and that has proven to be a failure last season, I think there are many things that PSG must do so that they can excel on the European stage.
and in Ligue One at the moment I don't think there is a team that can rival PSG, they have financial strength that is very different from other teams so that there is a significant gap in team quality.

PSG will always stay on top in Ligue 1. Because the level of the league is not very high.

The reason why PSG didn't succeed in the Champions League is that when you build a team with only money, that team doesn't have cohesion. There are some moments in football and in those moments this thing I'm talking about manifests itself. When you don't play harmoniously in the game, you can't succeed in the big championships. Even if you fill the whole team with star players, what the team lacks is cohesion. And you can't buy this harmony with money. Winning trophies in the league means nothing for the Champions League. The level of the league seems very low. That's why they don't succeed in the Champions League.

PSG couldn't even win the Champions League title while they had a dream trio like Mbappe - Neymar - Messi. They had just the kind of a squad that could really win the CL title. The reason why was of course the inadequate level of management of the team. Why would you bring an inexperienced manager like Galtier in the first place?

By saying inexperienced of course I mean the kind of experience with top teams. This was unnecessarily risky for them. PSG only needed a winner manager who had a good system to apply for this team. We will see if Luis Enrique is the right man for the job. Because his strategies are different from the usual for PSG.

First of all I want to blame the management before blaming the manager because how did they hire an inexperienced manager in a club that had players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they must have thought that a world class manager is needed to guide a world class player. PSG should have given Zinedine Zidane or Luis Enrique in charge of the team when Messi Mbappe and Neymar were together but they only thought of changing the players instead of changing the manager. If a manager like Zinedine Zidane or Luis Enrique had been around at the time, this team would have been shaped differently and strengthened everywhere, but PSG didn't do that. Luis Enrique was appointed as manager but after the departure of world class stars from PSG.

PSG is always going to be at the top. Because there are simply no other teams which can actually compete against PSG. At least not in the Ligue 1. And so it honestly does not make sense to expect some other club to outperform PSG. I know that in the upcoming season, there is a chance because a lot of players are actually leaving PSG and the club is also not in a very stable state. but I still do not think that other clubs will be able to take the league title away from PSG. The truth is, PSG's precarious state holds little significance. The crux of the matter lies in the insufficiency of the other clubs. Whenever there is a situation where someone else can actually beat PSG, for some reason that club becomes inconsistent, and PSG takes advantage of that.

Ligue 1 is very different from other league competitions because in Ligue 1 only PSG is strong enough compared to other teams, so there is no competition that will make Ligue 1 more competitive in every season. Monaco were the strongest team in previous eras but they lost their strength in a few seasons. Apart from that, PSG without Mbappe seems like they are still quite strong if we look at the players they have recruited in this transfer window.

Lens, who last season were quite strong in Ligue 1 but I doubt they will be able to compete in the race for the title next season. Moreover, PSG has succeeded in bringing in an experienced coach next season and I am sure that Luis Enrique will bring PSG to maintain their dominance as the strongest team in Ligue 1.

The only PSG's management can answer that. So many people surprised to saw how stupid PSG management by brought garbage coach with no achievement instead of world class coach that available in the market.
That's why many people blamed PSG for signed galtier which has become worst decision that has ever made by the club. PSG wasted 222m for neymar and 180m for mbappe. Messi signed with free transfer but his salary was considerably high at that moment.

PSG is now having enrique and we can hope if he will able to bring positive impact to the club otherwise will support marseille to win league 1 next season rather than PSG.
The performance from PSG in the previous matches were very disappointing for all of supporters. PSG is not even solving the problem with mbappe. The player seems try to make everything become very complicated at this moment.

They could, that's one of the main reasons. PSG is no longer a team that is "they are all about Mbappe", they are doing a good job and they should be proud of that. I know that it is going to change a lot in the end and they are going to be a fine team even without him. If you ask me, sell Mbappe today, and get a decent striker, maybe not as good as him because not many out there, but get someone that is decent, like lets say 70-80 million euro range, and I would guess that they are going to be fine.

I believe they are going to be as fine as it gets and we are going to be something that will win the league anyway, and at worst fail at UCL again anyway, so it is not going to have so much change overall, it is just not going to matter.

Yes, because that way when Mbappe actually leaves PSG, all players can still play well and of course be able to show qualified skills with teammates.
Actually the key to the strength of a football club is not only star players but also collaboration and cooperation between players because when star players don't compete but other players can work together by producing good collaboration games, it is likely that the club's strengths are still the same so it is easy to defend or attack to score a goal.

Luis Enrique has prepared everything in the PSG squad and later when their Champions League fails at least there is a Domestic League that can still hold the title.

To be fair when they had Mbappe and Neymar and Messi, they didn't had proper midfield that can carry the team forward to them, so they were capable of defending, which they even had hard time with at times, but then couldn't get the ball to them. Sure three world class players but when the other team defends with 7 players, you can't expect just 3 of them to solve the riddle, you need some good midfield.

Look at City right now, sure they have Haaland, and on the wings they have Grealish and whoever plays at right, but they also had Ilkay and someone as big as De Bruyne. Real? They had valverde, kroos, modric, and so forth, Bayern? Had Kimmic and Musiala and so forth. Football is a game where you can't go too far without a decent midfield.

That was one of the biggest problems they had with all the great players in their offense and the first attacking line in particular, they were not equally strong or sufficiently balanced in their midfield line and defense line. They had good players everywhere, but when a team is too unbalanced I think it can still create issues as one part of the team could be relying too much on the other part of a team, in this case the defense was hoping that whatever they concede as goals, their offensive line will score one more goal and that is not the case against the world class teams in the Champions League. They also understand how to defend Mbappe and Messi or at least understand it good enough to prevent them from scoring three or four goals in most of the games. In Ligue 1 it worked that way If PSG conceded two goals, no problem because they scored three goals. But that is not a sustainable system for a team that dreams of winning the most important European titles.

If the problem is only with their midfield, then Messi shouldn't leave in a bad way because of the fans wishes too. Also, regarding the transfer window so far PSG has brought in many new players and some of them are midfielders who are also relatively young. With such arrivals, it is hoped that PSG performance next season can be better. But it seems, it might be useless too if players like Mbappe and Neymar are no longer comfortable playing at PSG because the situation and conditions don't seem to be improving for them.

But you can never compensate for exceptional players who left because, yes, because they are exceptional. If replacing them was easy they wouldn't have made the difference in so many games throughout their career.

PSG can bring in lots of players and then hope that they get lucky because some of them prove themselves to be brilliantly strong players, but it is simpler to sign the well known players for hundreds of millions than to find the next stars before somebody else finds them. They had all the starts and didn't play impressive and now most of them will be gone soon.

Enrique didn't go there because he believes they can win the Champions League. He went there because it pays off for him.

Messi has left, Nyermar's status is doubtful, especially without Mbappe, PSG is a mediocre club in the European league. that's why, PSG wants to always keep Mbeppe. Unfortunately, the privilege that the club provides is not paid for by the loyalty of the star. this will be polemic, because after all Mbappe has the right to determine his future.

Because of that too, Enrique's task will be even more difficult to rebuild the foundation of this team if he does not get support from the club. that is why, some rumors report that the coach is asking for 4-6 players instead if Mbappe leaves or is not played at all next season. although it is very likely that this news cannot be confirmed for sure, the number of players that the coach wants is ideal. in particular, they should get Bernardo Silva. a pure striker, and a few wingers as the rumor goes. thus, the coach's work will not be too heavy. for the French League, as you said that we agree that PSG's dominance will be very difficult to break. but to compete at the Champions League level, like it or not, PSG has to bring in potential players.

As I said, I do understand that there are a lot of problems right now with the PSG team. But the other teams in this league are just a little too inconsistent. There is a reason why I think they are going to be able to win the league title again and that’s because we all know that they have a huge amount of money. And now they have also got a good coach that they needed. So now the coach is going to bring in new players who are going to be having a better performance for the team. So I am looking at it like they had one problem for so long which they have fixed now.

And as they have enough money, they can always get the players that they want. So I still do not think that they are in trouble. I am not going to believe that they are in trouble unless I see them, not having any chance to win the title, mathematically towards the end of the season.

I wonder in what sense this is a trio of "dream"? They showed very average results (and the results are the most important thing if we talk about sports and not about brands) and by the way, if you remember, they had very long periods when the three of them played significantly worse than when, for various reasons, one of this trio on field was missing.

Well this will depend from the preparation of each teams and the new signings done during this period. Lens for example let some of their players leave to generate money while Marseille seems to make some serious signing to consolidate different lines. The remaining teams made only few transfers including Monaco, Lille, Nice...
It appears that next season will be PSG and Marseille face to face unless another team popped like Lille few seasons ago.

There's always a difference, and strangely enough I see something of a decline in the moves they make in the transfer market. Like you said about Lens for example, they did well last season and now that some important players have left the club, it's not a guarantee that it will bring them down, but I'm speaking from a realistic perspective. Of course we will see what they do whether it can get better, or it can get worse.

Marseille made a good move if we look at it now, but that doesn't mean it will make them better than a club that didn't make a move like them.
I'd like to see some surprises from clubs that we don't pay attention to, it's difficult but hopefully I'll see it in Ligue 1 this season.

It's a big change when high-priced players leave one by one, and it's something that will change the situation of the club. There are advantages to doing so, but it depends on how Paris Siant Germain respond. I personally would like to see a change in the composition of the players, from a lot of star players to a club that tends to be ordinary. Sometimes with ordinary players it can actually improve performance.

It is true that it is very possible to happen, because all clubs will have the same chance to win a trophy at the end of the season. Moreover, seeing PSG transfer drama this summer has diverted the focus of their players, but I hope Enrique can create a conducive atmosphere for the PSG squad thanks to his coaching experience.

Monaco, Lyon, Marseille, LOSC are a series of clubs ready to break PSG dominance in Ligue 1 to win trophies. In the Champions League competition so far only Marseille is the only club from Ligue 1 that has ever won it.

It's true that PSG haven't been able to achieve good results, especially through this pre-season game they have had quite a hard time finding a good rhythm of play so they often get unsatisfactory results and as coach Luis Enrique has a big responsibility to bring this team to the peak of its performance. Of course, if we look at the current situation, there are so many gaps that have been created due to player problems that have had a significant effect on the club and momentum like this is very rare for PSG. Other teams could take advantage of this and I agree with you, it's only a matter of time before things can get even more messed up if this isn't fixed soon

Therefore, it seems that there will be other clubs who might be able to take advantage of this situation to be at the top of the standings next season.

Luis Enrique definitely has reasons for this but this defeat doesn't need to be regretted and of course in the future PSG can still play with their main players.
At least in this match PSG can still compete by scoring 2 goals even though they had to concede 3 goals until the round 2 finished.
I also salute Shinji Kagawa for managing to play well enough to even contribute 1 goal and at the age of 34, Shinji Kagawa can still keep up with the games of other young players.

Enrique must be solving the problems in the club as soon as possible. I meant if we must aware of how bad the performance from PSG during the pre season. PSG has been using a lot of its main players in the match against japanese team.
The problem is i have seen so many non synchronized pass in the PSG. The club needs more time to build its chemistry. I guess that if everything will be fine but it may take more time for PSG to build its momentum.
The fact that if PSG's attacking line looked so weak without mbappe. PSG must be thinking again before try to sell mbappe.
The club has proven if mbappe's performance is very important for PSG at this moment.

I have the thought that Luis Enrique wants some to show some skill and try to play without PSG's star players.
Actually, this decision was quite good because in the future the players would not be too dependent on other star players when a problem occurred, such as several star players leaving or getting injured.
Indeed, Mbappe played a very important role for PSG and from that match it was clear that PSG's attack line was not optimal.

They could, that's one of the main reasons. PSG is no longer a team that is "they are all about Mbappe", they are doing a good job and they should be proud of that. I know that it is going to change a lot in the end and they are going to be a fine team even without him. If you ask me, sell Mbappe today, and get a decent striker, maybe not as good as him because not many out there, but get someone that is decent, like lets say 70-80 million euro range, and I would guess that they are going to be fine.

I believe they are going to be as fine as it gets and we are going to be something that will win the league anyway, and at worst fail at UCL again anyway, so it is not going to have so much change overall, it is just not going to matter.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players in the PSG team. But Kylian Mbappe doesn't want to stay at PSG right now. I believe Kylian Mbappe will be the next generation to leave PSG. PSG's aim to do well in the Champions League seems unlikely this season.

Why is it not possible? Is the reason simply because Kylian Mbappe wants to leave PSG, I think this can only be said as speculation because next season PSG could do well in the Champions League because everyone won't know how PSG will perform in the Champions League this season front. Even though it is predicted that if there are not the best players in a team, it will be very difficult for any team to perform well in the Champions League. But who knows if next season PSG's performance will look a little different from next season.

There are about 2 weeks left for all clubs to prepare before their first match. Paris Saint Germain have always occupied a prime spot in this title race, although with their current situation it hasn't stopped them from moving from their rightful place.
The question is for other clubs, there is always the inconsistency looming over the clubs that will be the competitors of Paris Saint Germain. Like last season for example, they could have become champions taking advantage of Paris Siant Germain's instability, but they couldn't because they slipped up many times.

Well this will depend from the preparation of each teams and the new signings done during this period. Lens for example let some of their players leave to generate money while Marseille seems to make some serious signing to consolidate different lines. The remaining teams made only few transfers including Monaco, Lille, Nice...
It appears that next season will be PSG and Marseille face to face unless another team popped like Lille few seasons ago.
