The problems faced by Paris Saint Germain are constantly changing, I conclude that this is because the management failed to manage the team properly, causing a lot of internal conflict between the players. I don't think that a team of their size still has problems like this and makes it difficult for them to compete at a higher level. If they continue like this then they will never develop better.

There is a lot of trouble going on in the PSG camp. Already, one of PSG's key players has been sidelined for months due to injury. But there is no end to the trouble among the rest of the players who are fit.
Lionel Messi's conflict with Mbappe and PSG's coach's problem with Lionel Messi, PSC is going through a very bad time. Then recently another problem has arisen with Messi. Messi has been banned for two weeks for traveling to Saudi Arabia without PSG's permission and will miss the next two matches.
Among them is the match against Troyes. PSG are already not in their own rhythm then the main striker of the team will not be able to take the field due to ban. Let's see how PSG performs in this match.

It's been a long time since PSG have relied on money to get these star players and they can't develop young players from the academy. In fact, if we look at some of Europe's big teams, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, they always produce talented young players from the academy, PSG should be able to learn more about this.

On the other hand, maybe PSG's next match will experience difficulties related to this internal problem and this will greatly affect the concentration of all players while carrying out the remaining matches. They have 5 more games to go before closing the season with the title, but things seem to be getting a bit complicated since that issue.

Yo, I understand you – they got some real issues to iron out. Even with a star-studded roster, they're barely clinching domestic titles and floundering in the European Cup.

Let me tell you, Neymar Jr ain't the bad guy here. He's got mad skills, and the potential to bring PSG to the pinnacle. The real hiccup is the coach and their game plan. They need to tighten up those attacking combos, making 'em blend like butter. That way, they'll be cooking up more chances to score and snatch victories.

As for the fans hollering for Neymar to bounce – cut it out! It ain't helping, and it ain't fair to the man. He's pouring his heart out and deserves our backing. Plus, it ain't like he's the only one fumbling. The whole squad needs to crank it up a notch if they wanna be showered in silverware

I am very curious about this match. PSG are not in good form right now. The team is plagued by internal conflicts. Even though Messi is one of the most important players in their squad, PSG management banned Messi for 1 week. I think it will be challenging for PSG to win against Troyes in such circumstances. I know that the opponent Troyes is not strong. However, they are trying their best to get out of the relegation zone. And so I guess if PSG don't perform well in this match they are likely to lose points.

Next round contains some interesting games. The start will be intense and hard to guess between Nice and Rennes. Nice being the home team so a slight advantage and Rennes latest results are better.
Reims - Lille will be challenging too with a better odds for Lille since they are desperate for an European spot.
Lens - Marseille is the best and Lens have to win to pass Marseille again.
Troyes will face PSG which need these 3 points to stay safe from the others.

I quite understand the frustration of Paris Saint Germain's fans judging by the kind of great quality players in the team's possession yet they aren't doing well in European Cup and also struggling to win the domestic league.
But no matter how bad they feel, it's absolutely unnecessary for them to be going to entrance of their two key players to be chanting in displeasure and also calling for them to leave the club. I think that'll hugely affect the club in future time because it'll somehow be very difficult for players to sign for a club whose fans are doing such and unwise act

Firstly I will blame PSG owners for this problem. They made the fans believe that the club and its players have failed if they fail to win the champions league. I think this is a very wrong benchmark because winning the Ligue One is also a great achievement. Imagine Chelsea spending so much this season yet struggling to even get a draw from relegation-bound teams. The fans and management like you said felt that big spending will bring success which has turned out to be a nightmare.


The departure of Messi and Neymar will have little effect on the club. Messi is not at his best and Neymar have always had injury issue, so the club can move on without them. Also, the club is rich and can afford to buy some quality players that will partner with Mbappe to get the needed result. I have always predicted that the combination of Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar will not yield good results because all of them are very ambitious players. They are more concerned about making a name for themselves than winning games for the club.

I condemn the actions of these PSG fans in strong terms. Intimidation and bullying have no place in football and other sports. They have no right to invade the privacy of a player because they want him to leave. Their anger and actions should be limited to the stadium. They have forgotten that Neymar has contributed to the success of PSG.

The thing about PSG is they don't need to play against a strong team to lose the game, they will lose the game since the situation in this team is unpredictable and unstable more than any time, that's very much normal to say PSG can even lose the next game they have against Troyes especially because of what happened about Messi in this tam.

Mbappe's leaving PSG in the future would be devastating for this team in my opinion. Because their game is technically built upon Mbappe right now. Maybe they have a great trio in their hands but Mbappe is still at the centre of this attacking line. You know how much money PSG have spent to convince Mbappe to stay longer here. His current contract conditions are like the biggest one in history by far.

PSG would be and had better be ready for doing everything they can to keep him. Real Madrid seem like his potential next team for now. They are also very rich in the end so they can also meet his enormous demands. If they give the same contract that PSG can later on then I think Mbappe's choice can be Real Madrid.

- Real Madrid has been his dream team.
- He wouldn't have any issues with his new contract either - money issues of course.

Yes, you have noticed all the details  If it was Ronaldo, he would have already been destroyed as if he had committed some kind of crime against humanity. But the "son of Blatter" got away with a lot throughout his career. Nevertheless, PR is one thing, and business is another. I am also sure that Messi does not have any options of returning to Barcelona or moving to some serious club in Europe. Either MLS or Saudi Arabia.
By the way, it is obvious that Messi's PR project has already been closed, now I'm all waiting - who will they mold a new idol from? Mbappe is good, but stuck at PSG, Haaland looks powerful, but the national team is just Norway so he cannot be promoted in major international competitions.

Actually, with the current condition, I feel a little lacking in respect for these PSG fans.
They charge as if the players at the club are cash cows to be used at will and will get angry if their expectations are not met.
On the other hand, for now, Messi and Neymar are still targets and I think if things like this continue to happen then it is not impossible for both of them to leave next season.

That's a serious problem, they depend on them. They are always not able to play to their maximum when that player is absent. But indeed every star player who leaves will make it difficult for the team, not just PSG. All teams will struggle. PSG's mistake is always relying on money to buy players, they don't seem to succeed in youth coaching. I think their mindset has to change, they don't always rely on money.

this is really happening and no much critic for Messi action? leaving the club for a vacation without proper approval by the club, i think messi had already made of his mind not to play for Pgs again before making the move, my anger is that the media houses are too quite about it, assuming it was Ronaldo the media would have been on fire by now. Messi returning to barcelona is not possibe to me, he can't be the top player that controls everting anymore, Rather he will cause more trouble to the coach, Messi won't reduce his salary to play for Barcelona. Messi might consider Saudi Arabia offer.  Pgs can survive without Messi, he has not make any impact to te club ever since arrived, it has always been Mbappe.

A lot of players who play in the 9 position (under the striker) would set records for passing (especially considering that Mbappe is ahead). At the same time, Messi has sad statistics if we take two full seasons + stealth mode in important games (weak-willed departures in the 1/8 of the Champions League and the French Cup). This is definitely not what was expected of a player hyped as the best player in history. Messi is not good enough for the top clubs and now this is a fact that is obvious to everyone, and by the way, even if we take an earlier time, even Guardiola, who always promotes Messi, has always refused to take him to City. What an irony.

One by one the problems covered the Paris Saint Germain team after the team's performance failed to bring PSG to a higher level despite make various efforts to bring in several star players. Apart from that, Neymar Jr's lack of contribution this season has spark fans' dissatisfaction with the player
I also feel the team will be better off if Neymar leaves, that way coach Galtier can focus more on make Messi and Mbappe's attack combinations closer tight.

There are 5 more games left, which means that we are going to end up seeing a lot of changes in the future and that means it is going to be a bit up and down for teams. Lens could become second, or they could become third but they are not losing and getting to fourth, that would require too many losses for them, at least 3 losses out of 5, so that's not happening, I mean even if that were to happen which I think it is not going to, it would still mean that Monaco winning 5 out of 5 and we know that is not happening.

So all in all, top three of the league is decided, their rank may change and Lens could get above Marseille, or maybe not, but the top three part is already guaranteed without a doubt, that's not going to change anytime soon, and they should start celebrating it.

When referring to the 5 matches that will be played by PSG, their opponent is not a strong team. both Troyes, Ajaccio, Auxerre, Strasbourg and Clermont. everything is a team that can be said not a team that is difficult to overthrow. but because of the rumors that have occurred internally at PSG lately, it looks like it could be a loss for their own side. it's just, we don't know for sure what will happen.

Interestingly, what would Galtier do with his team if Messi was not played. whether Galtier will play back Ekitike, or only play Mbappe as a lone striker. and if the SPG goes down, that means they're in big trouble. besides that, SPG has several players who have been injured. plus, Hakimi who was suspended due to a red card. this is interesting, even more interesting if SPG falls over Troyes.
On the other hand, the Lens vs Marseille match will be decisive for both teams. because, both of them aim to win. So, this week we will be presented with an interesting match.

As a capital team, PSG are always required to continue to be able to get maximum results by their fans, but the actions of these individuals are indeed out of control and it is a wrong action. Especially when he came to the house of one of his players, in this case, Neymar, who was affected by the anger of the fans. Of course, this is very impolite, if they want to protest or demonstrate, they should go directly to the PSG office or related internal affairs, instead of attacking players who defend the club. I hope the fans of other clubs will never follow the example of what the PSG fans have done, it's very embarrassing. Regarding Messi, maybe we are just waiting for the time until there will be clarification directly from the party concerned, here Messi's role is needed to provide further clarification.

On matchday 34 there will be a very interesting match I think, that is the match between Lens against Marseille, because at this moment Lens and Marseille are fighting for second place. Because, if they finish in second place, it will make the team get a Champions League ticket next season without going through the qualification stage again.

Apart from that, Lens is by far the best team for home matches because Lens is the only team that has only had one home defeat. But so is Marseille, because Marseille is the best team for away matches, because so far this season Marseille is the only team that has only had one away defeat.

Therefore, the competition that occurred between Lens and Marseille at this moment both of them are having a good record this season and also, if Marseille manages to win then maybe it will make Marseille lock in second place. It will be interesting to wait, because it looks like a draw could happen because both of them will certainly try as hard as they can.
