Messi again booed by the French public in Paris. And he has already announced through management that he will no longer be staying in Paris. He couldn't do anything right anyway. So you see the power of Social Media and how much influence the fans have on a team. Nothing really worked out at PSG this season, and even the national title was actually still the question of whether it would all work out for a while. But no cup and no CL. What would be the next steps in the process of getting PSG better? And how will they cope with Messi's departure?

it is very unfortunate the response of fans and the club to Messi. indeed they have high hopes for Messi, and that is difficult to realize if they are not in a good team situation. because we know that previously Messi also had a small problem with Mbappe. everything needs adjustment. and Messi I think did well.
It's a shame that what Messi did was deemed unsatisfactory for the club and fans alike. we can see when Messi was brought in from Barcelona, he was greeted with great fanfare. but now he's gone from PSG to the booing of the fans.

Messi didn't deserve to be sent off like that, he was a good player there and yes I understand that he was hired so they will do better at UCL and they didn't do all that well even in the league but I wouldn't really blame him for that. He had 16 goals and 16 assists all season long, I do not think that many would do better than that, and he did all he could and remember he came here without any transfer fee, just paid him his salary that's it, getting him like that is all a team could hope for.

They probably sold enough jerseys to make his money back alone, and that means he was a free player basically, nobody would have given this much to them for free. I think he should have been applauded when he was leaving, he must regret his decision of picking PSG at this point.

Christophe Galtier is doubted by everyone, even by PSG fans themselves. As a coach I think he also had a good career winning titles with PSG so his coaching career will be considered by other teams in the future. But in the Champions League, we were never convinced that Christophe Galtier could take so much from his players when he taught game strategy.

PSG needs to get a new coach next season to increase their chances in the Champions League. Several experienced and influential players will leave, but they will find it easy to find replacements because of their financial strength. Let's see how they maneuver in the transfer market next season.

I often discuss Galtier in several posts. as I said in the previous post, Galtier is a potential trainer from my point of view. In fact, he once brought Lille to win the Ligue 1 trophy. At the start of his season with PSG, the results weren't too bad, you could even say quite impressive. however, it seems that what he applied to his team was not as easy as currently coaching other clubs. PSG is a big club, where there are names of players who have star reputations. rumors of problems in the locker room did not escape various media reports, whether it was because Mbappe, Neymar and towards the end of the season Messi were in the spotlight.

I don't think Galtier has full control of the PSG dressing room. plus, he is not empowered to hire players who suit his style and criteria. which in the end, like it or not, he always dismantles his system in every match with his team. Apart from that, the problem of injured players has not escaped being a problem for Galtier. which in the end, he failed to win the Champions League trophy.

I want to say based on personal opinion, PSG's problem is management. let's compare City, both clubs are owned by very rich people. but in fact, City is far more developed than PSG, even though they haven't won the Champions League trophy together. the difference is, City is handled by competent management in their field. while PSG, all the players want is the will of the owner. meaning, whichever coach is in charge of PSG, if they are not given privileges such as being involved in selecting players, leaders in the locker room, they will always find it difficult to win the Champions League trophy they have been dreaming of.

By the way, Messi's departure will have no effect on PSG. yes, they have enough funds to bring in the players they want. according to rumors, Julian Nagelsmann is currently the main candidate to replace Galtier. So, let's see and what PSG will do.

Lens team is really playing better than PSG if you want to compare the players. If not for the PSG team, the Lens team would have been ahead in the race to secure the title. I think Lens can add some new players to the team next season to keep the League One title in their hands.

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.

The defeat with a score of 1-3 meant that Auxerre had to be relegated this season and the win on the road made Lens finally finish in 2nd place in the standings. It seems that this is not the result that Auxerre wanted, especially in the decisive match at the end of the season they had to face a fairly strong team, namely Lens. In this match it was also seen that Lens was merciless no matter who his opponent was and in fact Lens had locked his victory in the first half by winning two goals.

Auxerre had caught up in the second half through one goal they scored, but it seems that the number of goals they have to pay is still lacking. The closing goal from Lens was scored by Loïs Openda in the 78th minute and closed the victory for Lens. Auxerre must be willing to be relegated this season along with other teams such as Ajaccio, Troyes and Angers.

did it happen? I think it's just a rumor because it was Toulouse who won the French Cup when they beat Nantes in the final. this is indeed history for those who are extraordinary. they even have the French Super Cup final against PSG. somehow this can be surprising but Toulouse is not unexpected.
but I don't know if it will hurt Milan's chances of a Europa League ticket next season.

I saw the final standings in Ligue 1 but somehow, I think something surprising happened to Toulouse. Because it can be seen whether it is true that Toulouse will be promoted to play in the Europa League next season or what does that mean?
Because yes, Toulouse itself is a promotion team this season, because Toulouse managed to play in Ligue 1 for its success in winning the Ligue 2 title in season 21/22. However, after I tried to find several existing sources, it turns out that Toulouse has the same ownership as Milan, but I still don't understand all of that.

Lionel Messi could not play a big role for the PSG team in the past seasons. Because the coach of the team failed to create the kind of game that is possible with Lionel Messi. Hopefully Lionel Messi will go to the club later and give his best performance and give something great to the football fans at the end of his age.

When PSG signed Christophe Galtier at the beginning of the season many football analysts criticized the move because everyone expected the club to employ an experienced and well-known coach that will help them achieve their Champions League dream. Many people also felt That Christopher Galtier might not have the ability to manage and organize the quality of players that PSG has. But I was one of the people that supported the move because any coach can improve and perform excellently well. But he ended up accomplishing the same feat as others. I was sure he knew that he will be sacked when PSG lost the round of sixteen game against Bayern Munich.

Messi's departure is a big blow but the team still has a long time to replace him and they also have the financial backup. Mbappe needs to take charge of the leadership of the players because Messi was a threat to his powers as the captain. The club wants to reduce the number of big names and focus on building younger players under the leadership of Mbappe. And I think it is the best path for a club that has erroneously believed that big players could give them the Champions League trophy. To implement this new philosophy the club is considering Jose Mourinho, Thiago Motta, and  Luis Enrique.

Last round comes with ridiculous results with PSG defeat along with Marseille and Monaco, and Lille draw vs Troyes.
Ajaccio 1 - 0 Marseille, Monaco 1 - 2 Toulouse.. Ok PSG have nothing to lose since they already won the title, Marseille are also third regardless of the result but Lille just lost its Europa League group stage and moved to Conference League.

I knew it! Nantes are so lucky and they managed to remain in the Ligue 1!

Well, PSG is again trying to change something in order to make the team even stronger, Messi and Ramos have left PSG, and it is already known that PSG is in search of a new coach, perhaps Luis Enrique, but there is no confirmation of this information yet. Galtier's sacking was expected, I doubted that he could achieve anything in the Champions League, as he had too little experience in this tournament, and the victory in Ligue 1 was not convincing.

Are you playing about the Messi whose first name is Lionel? You are saying that he doesn't play an important role for PSG and certainly yesterday nobody played an importamt role for PSG, but saying it as if it was a general problem about a player who belongs to the best scores of Ligue 1 by far is weird. What are you referring to when you assess a player's performance if not to his statistics? If a player has the best statistics in Ligue or one of the two best two best statistics, does that equal that the player does not play an important role in your opinion?

messi does not play an important role at PSG, even though we don't know the certainty of this news, everyone can't accept Messi's poor performance at PSG yesterday. on the one hand PSG also still has Mbappe who is a superior player who can give PSG a good name in the summer.
PSG belief that Messi will actually be released will also be better and replaced with other players who are more useful in reaching the cup in the summer which PSG really wants in the summer and the target of being the best team in the standings.

I was so surprised by Marseille's performance and even in the last game of the season against Ajaccio they still lost. Even though Marseille have often lost in recent weeks and they seem to have no motivation to win games at the end of the season.

Marseille lost after Ajaccio managed to score one goal in the 88th minute and at the same time became a win for Ajaccio at home. The additional 3 points were not enough for Ajaccio to get away from the relegation zone and they must be willing to accept the fact that this season they have finally been relegated from Ligue 1. I hope that Marseille can find their best performance next season so they can be even more consistent.

PSG have had strong squads in the last few seasons. Even then we don't see the expected good performance from this team. PSG's performance was average. And so I would say PSG's main weakness is not their players, their main weakness is their lack of experienced coaches. PSG has changed coaches several times. But they don't hire experienced coaches. I'd say until PSG hires an experienced coach, we won't see this team improve. PSG management should look for an experienced coach like Guardiola or Zidane.

Lionel Messi's departure from Paris Saint Germaine has been confirmed by the French media and I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop him from leaving the club in the summer. I think the delay to officially declare his his departure from him is because he's yet to finalise where he'll be heading to from Paris.
The Saudis has asked for his services but sources close to him reports that wants to remain in Europe. So we keep our fingers crossed and see the final news

I think you have also seen how Lionel Messi looked in PSG's last match, which ended in defeat. As for his departure from PSG, I think it is still uncertain because some people are also waiting for this, even though the PSG team will not be worse off with his departure at the end of this season. Because for next season PSG must be much better in other competitions so that PSG will not only become a collector of the Ligue1 trophy every season, but at least PSG can get another trophy like the UCL next season.
