PSG has been performing well with out the messi you are talking about and even Barcelona is currently doing well without messi and I still believe that PSG is still going to perform well without him if he eventually decides to leave the club, messi playing days are limited and its even best for the club to look for younger reliable player with lots of playing days.
Indeed before they looked like that, but it seems that has changed. Messi became a key player alongside Neymar and Mbaape. When one of them is not playing then they will look very different. Their game doesn't seem good. But of course Messi's departure will not be a problem, maybe they will make a lot of profit. In addition, Messi's age is not young anymore. Messi won't last long, maybe a year or two. But if I was Xavi I wouldn't take him, if the desired salary was too big.
That is a loss that a team will get if they rely too much on a few players, as a result they will feel they are losing even more when the players they rely on cannot be played. It's not permissible for a team to have star players, but it must be balanced with the balance of other players. From what I see from Paris Saint Germain at the moment, they have failed to unite the team, as if there is a gap between one player and another.
After suffering defeat last week against Marseille, Lyon will now play an away game at home to Strasbourg this week. In depth the squads of the two teams are clearly different, Lyon is superior but Strasbourg can sometimes make it difficult with the current quality of its players. It is surprising that last week Strasbourg managed to beat Reims, we know that Reims was so strong when they hosted their opponents at home.
Of course, with these various considerations, Lyon must be wary of Strasbourg and Lyon might fail to steal points away from home later. But I'm pretty sure that Lyon will win even by a narrow score, Lyon have to win if they want to have the same number of points as Rennes.
Strasbourg is not better than Lyon in terms of strength, this is their chance to win again after their defeat last week. On the other hand, Strasbourg is also on a positive trend with the consecutive wins they got in their last 2 matches. Another advantage that Strasbourg gets is that they will play a home game in this match. Even though on paper Lyon are still better, that doesn't mean they will be able to win the game comfortably.
