Lens has a strong squad at the end of the league,
Lens should win tonight, Toulouse does not have much to play for since they are far from relegation and too low to have any European cup chances
nevertheless, five points at the top that PSG have over Marseille abd Lens should be sufficient to see them getting the trophy, alhought they are playing as they do not want to get it
fight for direct placement in CL is real, since both Marseille and Lens will have troubles to qualify for group stage in case they finish as third
Lens won today with a narrow score of 1-0 made by Lois Openda in the 33rd minute, I thought it would be an easy match but it turned out that Lens had a lot of difficulties to produce more goals and it turned out to be quite a fierce match, Toulose did not have the provisions a lot to play in the European cup precisely this year.
Today's comparison between Lens and Marseille today measured one point difference, 69 for Lens and 70 for Marseille, in the next match they have the right time to face each other head-on and say who deserves to be in second place, it will be a pretty fierce match between these two teams, because these two teams performed quite well and didn't have much difference in goals or points.
I read the news about Messi trip to Saudi Arabia and I was thinking about three things
First, is he doing this for fun and tourism purpose or he is promoting tourism in Saudi Arabia, which is the main purpose in my opinion.
Second, is that a familial trip or a business trip or both? I mean is he discussing a contract with a Saudi team?
Third, is PSG aware of that trip and the answer wasn't late for that question
i think he traveled to saudi arabia in the context of promoting tourism in saudi arabia but it's a bit strange also where he is still needed in the team but he made the trip which got him punished for his indiscipline. Therefore, PSG must be able to overcome the gaps in the front lines due to Messi absence in the next two matches. I don't think PSG will waste the opportunity to win this season.
There are 5 more matches left where they can lock the title in the next 4 matches if they can win all the matches. I think psg is still pretty safe for now, they have mbappe for the current situation.
In the end Messi was not allowed to compete in two weeks by the PSG management because of his indiscipline, I doubt PSG's appearance on the field if they did not play Messi, because to be honest Messi is a big contributor for PSG to carry out attacks and produce goals compared to other players. It's a good decision to discipline his troops but I have doubts about PSG's results without Messi.
