Yes, that's right, Lens is too strong for Lorient to beat and can secure 3 points in this match. Lorient can indeed match Lens' play, but they can't be more effective in converting the opportunities they get into goals. On the other hand, Lens can be more productive by creating 3 hols in this match.
I thought at the start of the first half with a quick goal created by Lorient maybe it would make the predictions in this match miss, but in fact the results of the match went according to the predictions given by the dealer.




For some reason when talking about Paris Saint Germain, I have confidence that they will return to transfer star players again for next season even though they will be left behind by 2 other star players such as Neymar and Messi. But I hope they stop doing things like that, because nothing changes when they make transfers that cost a lot of money. I would prefer that when they start to regenerate their squad, yes they can bring back potential young players that they can use for long-term progress.

PSG secured a remarkable 2-0 victory in Ligue 1. Lionel Messi's performance in the match was unremarkable. Basically, Lionel Messi has failed to adapt to PSG very well. One of the reasons may be the coach of the team. The coach of the team really does not know how to manage Lionel Messi in the game.

PSG lead 2-0 in just 8 minutes. After that, I was sure that PSG was going to win the match. But I thought PSG players would be able to score a few more goals. But PSG could not score any more goals in this match. I expected to see goals from Messi. But Messi can't score any goals. However, it cannot be said that Messi's performance was bad in this match. But Auxerre's players played very well. They made a total of 14 shots in this match. Marquinhos played brilliantly in this match. He made several excellent saves. Otherwise, PSG might not have secured full points in this match.

There is no denying that French star Kylian Mbappe is at the top of the discussion. The star player scored 2 goals against Auxerre in just a few minutes. Winning that match, they have distinguished themselves from other teams by 6 points distance. However, both Fabian and Lionel Messi have given him enough support. Mbappe Scored the first goal in 6 minutes and the second goal in 8 minutes. Through which the team reach in a reliable place. However, in the 51st minute, the opponent concede a goal and put some pressure, but it did not have a big effect. Now PSG have come very close to winning this title. Their close opponent Lens is in 2nd position with having 78 points.

We can't blame Messi. I saw Messi's performance at PSG. I wouldn't say he played badly. PSG's poor performance in the Champions League was due to their poor match strategy. The bonding between the players was not good. PSG's overall gameplay was weak due to the weak link between the midfield and forward players. And PSG's coach is definitely responsible for this. PSG's gameplay has been completely erratic this season. If the match strategy is not good then good performance cannot be expected from the team. If PSG want to do well in the Champions League, they definitely need an experienced coach. If the coach is not experienced, in adding all the best players in the world to the squad, PSG management will not get the expected performance from the team.

Indeed, Messi is one of the best players in the world, but at the same time when he came to Paris Saint Germain he was no longer young, you could say his glory days had declined. The problem is that most people expect a lot from his arrival, while Paris Saint Germain is his second team, he did well at Barcelona but we don't know his abilities when he left Barcelona.

You put it perfectly when you said it's like watching "Who wants to be a millionaire?" except with football instead of money. - except that you lose more money than you win. It's like giving a compulsive shopper access to a credit card. Major bankruptcy may occur sooner rather than later if this trend continues.

Even clubs that are owned by sheikhs and billionaires aren't guaranteed to be financially stable. Take Chelsea as an example; after hitting the iceberg, they're in the same boat as the Titanic. And that's not something nobody anticipates happening in the next two decades; rather, it's just around the corner.

So, how can we fix this, you inquire? Do we need some sort of budget constraint? But let's be honest; is it feasible to regulate all the ingenious methods that nightclubs will discover to get around this? Extra contracts for "country ambassador" or similar duties can always be offered to players. Is this lavish spending really going to lead to disaster, or will it eventually even out? Let's sit back and see what happens.

No other clubs in Ligue 1 have many star players like PSG and they don't have problems to beat other clubs in matches and a league battle. They only lose Ligue 1 crown if they do something really wrong by themselves.

Choosing between a coach and dozen of players, it will be an easy decision. A coach should be fired and players should be kept for a new plan, it is what most of clubs will decide to do. Galtier did not show that he is good enough to manage those players and help PSG to win Champions League. He will be fired certainly but it will raise a chronic problem in PSG, who will be a good coach for their star squad?

PSG performance in Champions League decreased after the appearance of Messi in Paris, in PSG squad. It can be a coincidence but can be one of actual reasons too. I don't think it is coincidence and Messi is one of their problems. One more star players, less contributions from attacking players to their proactive defense. They have become more vulnerable to counter attacks and in Champions League, it is very deadly weakness.

From the point of view of talent, I wonder, I think there are still no players who are similar to them, or in the way they play or make certain plays, obviously if these players leave PSG they will leave a huge hole and it will be Difficult for the PSG coach to fill, in my case before letting these soccer masters go, I would fire the coach, because basically he is responsible for everything, not the players, we have the first and second place in the World Cup, We have one of the best Brazilians in the club, what more can you ask for? a technician is easily replaceable these days, but they??they aren't.

Of course it is too obvious that PSG with the quality of players they have are not going to win the French League, personally it has not cost them much, but I know that it will cost them next season because the other teams know that maybe it will not be there. Messi, they don't have Ney 100%, the most likely thing is that they leave Ney, only Mbappé will remain and he alone can't handle everything , this being able to monopolize the best players in the world and only win the local league must be frustrating for a sheik who has invested a lot of money in them and in a technical director who is no longer useful to me ,I would have left the coach and not my players.



It's that I think that Messi and Mbappé have a lot to give this team, that's why I say, it would be a shame if they let Messi go from PSG, it would be crazy, as far as I'm concerned I wouldn't let him go for anything in the world If I had to give him double the salary, I would , it doesn't matter if I have to make more sacrifices, but a player like Messi brings a lot to the team , and it has also been shown that Mesi scores goals at any time and makes the team win in the In the most difficult moments , this is something that has to be taken into consideration , as the sheik kept all my players , I would try to Hook another.

Auxerre 1-2 Paris Saint-Germain: Player ratings as Mbappe braces edges PSG towards title

It was an interesting match and Lens is still too strong for Lorient in today's clash.
Lorient have been able to match Lens and have lost little to possession and chances but in this case we are talking about confidence and taking advantage of momentum. Lorient is a bit worse in terms of finishing which makes them always fail to convert opportunities into goals.

Mbappe continues to contribute a lot with his goals and today he reached 28 goals in the Ligue 1. I wouldn't like to overlook Messi's help with an assist as well. This win was important for PSG to secure the league title even if they haven't officially announced it yet. The reason of it is that score difference is taken into consideration first in this league so this six-point gap on the remaining two weeks doesn't guarantee anything yet.

But of course the champion is already decided technically. PSG at least aren't finishing this season without a title. However this title isn't something new for them either. Their main goal was to win the Champions League title but they said goodbye to it very early. They were even eliminated by Bayern Munich which were destroyed by Manchester City later on. PSG need a big change in management immediately.

Actually with the current conditions I think they have managed to become champions and celebrate the title for Ligue 1.
Their gap with Lens is 6 points and even if indeed Lens is able to win in a row with their current condition PSG only needs one draw in the last 2 matches it has brought them to the trophy this season and it is not a difficult job to do.

and indeed in this game they excel very well and of course with the 3 points now it makes them comfortable in second place and sure to be in the Champions League next season I think because they only need to find one more win to really be sure themselves because of the gap points they currently have.

Even though the quick goals in this match for Lorient were quite surprising but indeed Lens' scheme was really very good in this match and with that they were able to come back and be 1-3 ahead and ensured for 3 points.
The match was actually quite balanced in terms of statistics, it's just that from their better condition in finishing and using opportunities, they actually secured 3 points in this match.

PSG is not the same team that you might think are very strong and therefore do not lose easily, this current PSG can easily lose against any team in Ligue 1, in this game for example PSG conceded 1 goal which even led me to think that the game would end in a draw and that's why I preferred to cancel my bet because I already had a profit than risk waiting for the game to end and then losing my bet, this PSG is not very reliable, well luck is on PSG's side, only they need to win the next game, but the problem is that PSG's last two games will be against stronger opponents than Auxerre, and the question here is whether PSG will be able to win the last two games

PSG's next game will be against strasbourg, which is a team that in the last 5 games has only had one defeat and has scored a goal in the last 6 games, and has not conceded many goals, so PSG will clearly have a big problem in this game and if they lose, then they would only have to win the last game against clermont, which is also in a situation very similar to that of strasbourg, that's because clermont in the last 5 games also only lost in just one game and also scored a goal in all of its last games and he didn't concede many goals, so PSG will also have difficulties in this game, PSG's situation is still not 100% guaranteed

It might only end in bankruptcy for the poorer clubs, not those that get money from sheikhs and oligarchs. A more likely scenario would be the emergence of a Super League as it was already discussed. But there is also a limit to ticket prices for leagues. At some point the fans will refuse to pay for tickets or merch, but until then there is probably enough money to be made from the medium to very rich people.

A spending cap can't be enforced because they just set up all these shell companies and then pay a player for something that has nothing to do with soccer. Stupid example, but when a player wants to go to PSG and a salary cap and Financial Fair Play gets enforced, they just put another contract on the table saying that if the player becomes an ambassador for the country or a company within that country, he will get 10 million on top for four years or something similar to that. There are infinite possibilities to circumvent any kind of cap.

Chelsea is the best example, that is true. 20 years might be too far down the road. We are probably going to see some very negative effects in the next 5 - 10 years. But what the consequences will be, I have no idea.

there are still 2 remaining matches that must be completed by PSG. They will be trying to get the Ligue 1 title this season. they are still the favorites to win. but we'll never know what happens in the rest of the season. PSG certainly doesn't want to see the 2020-2021 season repeat itself, they finished with 1 point difference at that time. and chances are it could happen again this season as well. and that can make club management very angry.
PSG is a very productive club with their 3 frightening strikers. To date, 86 goals have been scored, and will continue to grow.

Why did anyone even doubted that PSG wouldn't be able to win the league is beyond me, it was obvious from the start that they would be winning it and now we all know that they will. Why wait this long to think that though, just go back and check the first days of the season even before the games, pre-season period even showed that they would win, look at the odds on those days, it was 1.40 or something if I am not wrong, and there were places with lower very commonly as well. That's basically saying PSG is guaranteed to win unless something major happens.

Yes, if Mbappe suddenly left, Messi got hurt, Neymar got hurt and all that then we would be seeing them lose if that happened, but we all knew that it would be very hard for that to happen.

PSG is certainly winning the title in my opinion. They are at the top of the table right now. Currently, they have a match going on against Auxerre and already 83 minutes have been played. By the looks of it, I believe they are actually going to win the match. As I said it is not going to be a problem for them to win the Ligue 1 title. I believe the top 3 positions are set. There are not going to be much changes made in the top 3.

PSG easy to the title, but that's no surprise. Lens a 2nd place can be called a surprise, and how far will PSG keep its team together for next season? I think the supporters can see everyone go except Mbappe, you have to keep him. The difference between Marseilla and Monaco has become considerable in the ranking in the end. Monaco fought back well in the standings, but lost too many points in the first half of the competition to be able to make something of it. Qualifying for the EL seemed the highest achievable, at least we succeeded. PSG will be champions for the next 10 years without any problems I suspect.

The remaining three games, not difficult enough for PSG.  At the moment PSG are a little comfortable with a six-point gap. I think they will be champions this season. They have a great chance to win Ligue 1. Although there are indeed many reports Messi will leave soon and Mbappe will certainly get many offers from other clubs. Maybe Madrid will work hard for Mbappe while Messi I got the news that he will return to Barcelona, but I read one of the Arab clubs Al Hilal offered a contract of 500 million euros.  Source: www.goal.com
