Lens have surprised me more than any other team this Ligue 1 season. They played very well all season and finished in second place, just one point behind PSG. That is, they could have been winners if it wasn't for a few upsetting losses. This season was a nervous one for PSG, but they still managed to win first place.

The quality of the players of Lens team is very good. I think if Lens can perform better then Lens can go to the 1st position very fast. Goalkeeper of Lens team J. Leca performed very well. Goalkeeper of a team plays a big role behind winning the match. A. Claude Maurice This player performs very well in almost every match. Lens team has several players who play a big role in winning every match.

The benefit Lens has right now is that PSG is getting rid of some of their players, we are not going to know 100% all of them for a while longer, but we know Messi is gone, that much we know and there are speculations about some other players as well. Obviously they are going to replace them with some other players as well but we do not know if those players will be better or worse just yet, they need to first get here, train and then start playing so we can see if they are better or not.

I believe that it is going to take a while, but for Lens luck, if the players they get turn out to be not that great and do not provide better results then we could see Lens doing better. But just as well we can see Lens sell some players, be worse, and PSG getting newer better players and be even better, which is the more likely outcome.

Monaco showed poor performance until the end of the season with only 1 win in the last 5 matches and even in the closing Ligue 1 match they also lost the opportunity to play in one of the European competitions after losing against Toulouse. Maybe this is the result they didn't want, but Monaco had to settle for finishing 6th in the standings.

I think Monaco sometimes has stable performances and sometimes has bad performances in a row, so it is very difficult for them to be able to stay competitive at the top. It looks like there should be a difference next season and club management or coaches have to rearrange their list of the best players to sail through Ligue 1 with positive results.

At the beginning of the season, maybe Monaco was a little more stable, but when it arrived in the middle of the season, Monaco experienced an unstable drop in performance in every game and in the last game they were also unable to beat Lyon, very bad.
When I look at and try to understand Monaco's bad condition, it seems that Monaco has to overhaul players and replace players who have better performance to welcome the new season and can show a stronger performance.

Lens proved that they are one of the best clubs in Ligue 1 at the moment, although they are still behind Paris Saint Germain. But that's natural because in terms of strength they are under Paris Saint Germain as well. What's more worrying when you look at Paris Saint Germain, they have everything but they can't make the most of it. Even if they didn't have the advantage that was quite far before, then they could be couped by Lens at the end of this season.

Even though Lens failed to win the Ligue 1 title from PSG, I was quite impressed with their performance this season, Haise's men appeared very impressive and only lost four times out of a total of 38 matches that took place in Ligue 1. Lens lost more than the first half of the season, where they swallowed one defeat in the first half and posted three defeats in the second half of the season. So that several of these defeats made profits for PSG, which in the end came out as Ligue 1 champions this season.

In terms of player quality, PSG is far superior to Lens, but if you look at Lens' performance, it is much better than PSG, because Lens only relies on makeshift players, while PSG is a star-studded club. Compared to the previous season, Lens were only able to finish in seventh place and this season they have successfully ended the season as runners-up, so this is an extraordinary achievement for them.

Paris Saint Germain and Lens will represent Ligue 1 in the Champions League, I hope these two clubs can show competitive rivalry there.

It will end the same as this season and I think for the competition in the Champions League Lens will be a bit more difficult and even PSG who have many stars in their squad are also unable to deliver any results. So it's interesting to see how Ligue 1 representatives play in the Champions League next season.

The only thing I want from the last round of Ligue 1 is that Lyon win big (or just score a lot of goals) Nice. It would be cool if Lacazette, from a club that is not at all dominant and not even in the top group of teams, could overtake Mbappe in the ranking of scorers. I think for the ambitious Mbappe it would be a tangible blow Grin

They only have 1 goal gap and of course, Mbappe doesn't feel comfortable because he still has to be able to score in this last match. But it seems, I don't think it will be easy for Lacazette to score many goals in this match, because in fact Nice was able to hold Lyon to a draw in the first match or first meeting this season. Therefore, I think this match will be tough and of course it will make it difficult for Lacazette to score but if it's only for 1 goal I think it can still be done. But at the same time, if Lacazette can only score 1 goal then of course, Mbappe also has good ability to score goals in the match against Clermont and what's more, PSG will play at home.

Unfortunately, yes, my wish did not come true and Nice defeated Lyon, allowing them to score only one goal. But PSG once again showed their instability and lack of will - I think it's rather embarrassing to lose the last game of the season at the home stadium, and after there was a comfortable 2-0 score.
Formally, the gap from second place was only one point, and even if it is clear that PSG controlled everything, everyone expects more from such a club. To some extent, this is similar to the title of Bavaria - with a large admixture of unpleasant emotions.

I still have high hopes for Lens next season. What they did was unbelievable. If somebody had told PSG before the beginning of the season that Lens was going to be the team to keep them on their toes in the league, they would have never have believed it.
Lens played well all season. Even when Marseille we're second position, I was certain that Lens would overtake them since they still had like five games to play.
Most people believe that this is a one season wonder, but I don't believe that. I believe Lens would still be good next season. They might not win the league but they will most likely be among the top teams in the league.
PSG would be a better team next season, because I believe they will sit up and get a better coach while signing better players. Messi and Neymer would be leaving so that creates space in the wage bill to get more players because I don't think they'll get players that earn as much as those two.

I think the Lens team will become a very strong team in the next season. Because the team in League One started to perform exceptionally well in the middle of the current season. The team is currently behind PSG in League One.

That is, they could have been winners if it wasn't for a few upsetting losses. This season was a nervous one for PSG, but they still managed to win first place.

I don't think the Lens team would have won the title. Several times Lens had the opportunity to take the top spot in the table. But they could not exploit the opportunity. They were somewhat erratic in their performance. Lens has a chance to grab the top spot in the points table if they continue to perform well regularly. However, if Lens can continue such performances next season then they have a good chance of winning the title. Because there will be several changes within the PSG team next season. So PSG's performance is likely to be erratic.

First, I really appreciate Lens' performance this season, they were able to finish in the runner-up ranking.
but my question is, will Lens be able to compete in the next season with a tight and consistent schedule. because, this season, Lens doesn't have many obstacles besides only focusing on Ligue 1. Unlike some other top teams, at least PSG, Marseille, Monaco, are involved in 3 or 4 competitions in one season. that is, the players are likely to experience fitness problems. The impact was serious, several players were injured. that's why, Marseille, Monaco, even PSG, are not very consistent this season.

I want to see how Lens is in next season. whether they are able to compete, or even experience a significant decline. next season, Lens will be tested with a fairly tight schedule. and if, they are not prepared and mentally strong, that means, Lens has the potential to have a bad season. one more thing, Fanck Haise must prepare other players who are ready to compete at a more prestigious league level. plus, having second tier players on par with the core team. otherwise, it will be difficult for them to perform like this season.

The most interesting part of this season in the French League was Monaco because they didn't start the season well and had some mistakes in beginning the road but in a few weeks they were even in second place in the table and they could even be first place and win the title, at the end, of this season by the failed and again in the last weeks of the season they couldn't have the same performance and that's why they are in 6th place of the table.

Indeed, in this regard, no one expected the improvement of Lens's performance to be quite good now and indeed they have been truly exceptional this season.
At the beginning I still thought that the first and second positions in Ligue 1 this season were still the same as before with Lens following PSG back, but indeed Lens does not want to make this easy and Marseille is now the one affected.
They have a slightly difficult road now to the Champions League because they have to go through the play offs.

Messi's future is still ambiguous. He is about to leave PSG maybe but who knows he might still come back depending on the news in the coming days. It seems like that he prioritizes joining Barcelona for now. Xavi stated once again that he would like to see his old friend at Barcelona again and it was even their main transfer goal.

FFP rules in the La Liga are the most important to be the decider about this transfer to happen or not. If there is no problem Messi wouldn't stay as free agent for a long time. Otherwise I think that he will think about his options seriously. There would be 2 options in hand then though:

- Continuing with PSG for another season
- Signing for a Saudi Arabian team to make an enormous amount of money

Next season might be even more stressful for PSG in Ligue1, because Lens will definitely try even harder next season to win a trophy in Ligue1. Apart from that, Lens is also very aware that their strength is slightly better than their other rivals in Ligue1, except with PSG. And apart from that, next season these two teams will also be competing in the UCL with a level of consistency that should be even greater, because the UCL is a competition for the best teams from all leagues.

I think PSG will have to move quickly to get some new players after Sergio Ramos left the back line and Lionel Messi left the attack line at the end of this season. If not, PSG will have a very difficult time competing with Lens next season because of course Lens will also buy several new players to pump up their performance so they can compete with PSG again.

However, with this rather complicated situation, it seems that PSG will have to spend a large amount of funds because of competition for talented players or star players who are now being chased by several top European teams and this is not an easy matter for PSG. I think for PSG and Lens in the champions league is the most crucial competition, considering that PSG still can't win this title while for Lens at least they have to fight to a better phase to prove that they are worthy enough in the highest European competition.

Lens have really been outstanding this season, they were able to finish in second only one point behind PSG, Lens' revival has provided new competition for the top four positions. They have managed to beat Monaco and Lyon this season, but I have yet to see Lens challenge PSG in the race for the Ligue 1 title.

PSG are a little tired in the hunt for the Champions title this season, losing a lot of points makes them have to fight hard to finish in first place. Next season PSG has lost several important players including Messi, they must maintain the depth of their squad to maintain their dominance in Ligue 1.

Rumors are now that Julian Nagelsmann, former Bayern Munich coach, is in talks with PSG about a contract. Not less interesting is that Henry is maybe supposed to become his co-coach, which would be an interesting combination of a very ambitious coach together with a player who has a long lasting history as a professional player on the highest level. Maybe this is exactly what PSG needs to make some progress finally. Galtier's days are certainly over.

I was watching this news at Fabrizio Romano tiktok account that in the near future Julian Nagelsmann will being an new manager of PSG and apparently the management has decide to sacked Galtier because he was failed reach the target to get champion league trophy and actually this news is predictable before because after PSG lose from Bayern at round of 16 champion league many people rumoured Galtier position will be replaced by other coach at the end of season

But it's became unpredictable because before this news appears PSG has been linked to Zinedine Zidan or Luis Enrique and i think nobody thought Nagelsmann will take this position and about the assistant it is confirmed Thierry Henry will take the position and this could be a perfect duo because Nagelsmann as young talented manager and Thierry Henry as great player and the legend of Arsenal

It would be something different from what we have seen at PSG so far. Even if Nagelsmann got sacked at Bayern, which was a bit weird because he was still in all three competitions when that happened and just eliminated PSG from the Champions League, he has already shown that he is a good coach and can also handle stars. With the addition of Henry he would have a very professional and calm character by his side who would give the whole manager combo an interesting drive in my opinion. Although when they can get Zidane, I think Nagelsmann won't have a chance against the French man.

League 1 officially ended since last week. Messi and neymar have been also officially leaving from the club. We still need to answer the question. Will the leave by messi from the league be affecting the traffic of league 1?
As you know that if messi is a football player with most of the followers after ronaldo. His existence in la liga was greatly impacting the club before.

Im thinking about the traffic gonna be decrease even though if it will not be so significant but it seems like that league 1 will get less attention next season caused by messi will not be there.

I think that there will be huge differences compared with league 1 once messi was still there.

Winning the France League title is a regular occurrence for PSG but their main target is the Champions League trophy which they have so far failed to win. They kept players like Mbappe and signed big name players like Messi to their club only to win Champions League trophy but to no avail. The team was eliminated early in the Champions League after losing to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. Until now they believed that they can win the Champions League trophy but now they may not have that belief because Lionel Messi has left the club, Neymar may leave PSG and Mbappe is likely to be signed by Real Madrid. Sergio Ramos may join the Saudi League. If these key players of the team are gone, it will be difficult for them to win the league title.

I don't know if Neymar can find himself a team in Europe at the moment. His contract expires in 2025 so interested teams have to pay a transfer fee as well. The reason why I stated it is that his market value is still 70 million euros. Of course PSG wouldn't demand that much for a 31-year-old player. But I wouldn't expect them to demand less than 40-50 million euros anyway. Moreover as far as I know his current salary is 36 million euros per year which is an enormous sum.

I don't know if there would still be a team to be okay for meeting all these demands. Hence I expect him to stay here for a long time unless he gets an offer from outside Europe. As for Mbappe I don't expect him to leave this summer either. But for next season it is doubtful. If PSG fail in winning the CL title again then maybe we might see him at Real Madrid right after that.

English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea have expressed interest in Neymar and they want to sign Neymar knowing that they will have to pay a fee. And Neymar had a good offer from the Saudi league but he turned it down because he wants to stay in Europe for now. If all goes well, Neymar will be moving to Manchester United very soon.

Mbappe came close to signing a deal with Real Madrid last season but in the end PSG agreed to all his terms and kept him at the club with a huge salary cap. But Mbappe has realized this season that if he doesn't leave PSG, he will never win the UCL trophy and never win the Ballon d'Or. A footballer's dream is to win the Ballon d'Or. I hope this time Mbappe will focus on his career instead of being greedy for money.

Mbappé is a really great player. Mbappe has played a significant role in the success that PSG has achieved so far. In fact, Mbappe is an incredibly fast player. This player has to be praised.

Lens are a surprising team in Ligue 1.
Apart from the results in the last match against Auxerre which made Auxerre have to be relegated because he was defeated by Lens behind the hopes of surviving in Ligue 1.

25 wins, 4 losses and 9 draws in 38 matches are the extraordinary results achieved by Lens including being able to make 68 goals.
As we all know, Lens is not a club that has well-known players registered in the squad like PSG, but they were able to occupy second place in the final standings with 84 points, only 1 point different from PSG as the Ligue 1 champions this season.

In addition, Lens is a club that has frequently gone up and down from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 since the 2010/2011 season and for this season's achievements they will automatically compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Lens has indeed become a pretty fantastic team this season because they were able to finish second in the standings.
Only luck was not on their side
Their total wins (Lens) 25 out of 38 matches. While PSG 27 total wins out of 38.
Very close difference.
