It is true that Marseille will face some strong teams, but as long as they are able to maintain their good form then it can be a serious concern for PSG. But if you look at the list of Marseille's next opponents, maybe there will be 3 teams that will be the obstacle, namely Lyon, Lens and Lille. Seeing this, it seems that finishing in the top 4 of the standings is the best thing for Marseille.

For PSG there is no doubt that they will see their opponents for the rest of the season, but I hope they can be more serious about winning every game and it will be a heavy responsibility for coach Galtier to close this season with the Ligue 1 championship trophy.

PSG is still in a safe position, 8 to 9 points away from PSG, of course this season is difficult for Marseille and Lens to chase the Ligue 1 championship, obviously it is a tough and impossible job, I think these two clubs just want to focus on staying in the top 4 to get a UCL ticket next season, it's impossible to see PSG lose more than 4 times in a row from the remaining 7 matches in this season because that would knock PSG out, but that obviously won't be possible because of course judging from the remaining 7 matches it doesn't look like there is a club what makes it difficult, PSG should be able to win the remaining 7 matches.

I believe PSG will win the league this season because it is clear they have no hunting targets in any other competition apart from Ligue 1 and it is impossible to be without any titles this season, their focus now is on winning the league and I believe they will get it 

But the proof is, PSG was able to beat Lens with a score of 3-1 which of course made PSG's position safe at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Even though in several matches PSG failed to win, that doesn't mean PSG is very weak and also, it doesn't mean PSG's position easy to take over.

After all, PSG still has quality so of course PSG has the ability to remain in first place until the end of the season. I personally believe that there is no team in Ligue 1 at this moment that can overtake PSG in first place, because there are not many remaining matches ahead and of course it is not a difficult job for PSG to maintain its top position.

Zinedine Zidane has not hidden his dream and purpose as a football manager to one day manage the French national team and if you ask me, becoming the head coach at Paris Saint Germain at the moment isn't a bad idea because currently Didier Dechamps is contracted with the national team till the summer of 2026.
Paris Saint Germain is a club that is star studded like Zidane would want it and the owners of the club would still financially support him to get new players of his choice if he becomes the manager of the Paris club.

They could be even in more danger if they were a little bit unlucky against Lens in this week because in the gap between PSG and Lens is not too high and if Lens could somehow beat PSg they could easily get the place of PSG in the table, in fact, I think there is still a high chance for PSG to lose the first place of the table because the unable results they get recently.

I agree that red card was the right decision. The logic of red card is to punish someone who attacked directly at the player with a possibility of injury as well, and that dude put the bottom of his shoes right on Hakimis ankle, that should be as hard as it gets and it's a direct red card without a doubt.

However, I also think that even without that red card, I would have seen that as a game that PSG would have won, they could have played 11vs11 all game and PSG would have still won that game, they were just too much better. Lens in trouble now, they need to win all they can from this point on to get 2nd place at the end of the season. PSG just made sure nobody can get close, the league is over for them basically.

indeed PSG's position is not safe. but I'm still optimistic that PSG can overcome the remaining 7 matches. if PSG gets a draw in all matches, it will only make things difficult for PSG. but I'm sure with PSG's performance it won't be possible.
let alone look at Marseille's opponents, who will still meet several strong teams. if you want to shift PSG, of course, Marseille must play very consistently and be a forum for 3 points in the remaining matches.

If we look at the teams that will be PSG's next opponent, it is indeed relatively easy, but they must remain vigilant with all possibilities. Especially if PSG have difficulty winning over these teams, so if they get a draw in some of these matches, of course it will be a loss. On the other hand, if Lens continues to get winning results then it will be a pretty serious threat to PSG's position in the standings. But what is clear is that we are still waiting for the final results until 2 or 3 weeks to determine the Ligue 1 title for PSG.

The red card is actually a big mistake from the player itself as he was making unnecessary foul that makes him got a red card. That match already happened and PSG was winning it. talking about that won't even change the situation. It means PSG is now having very big chance to take at least a single trophy from the french league. This is not even a special trophy caused by we did know how big the domination by PSG to the french league. That's very sad to see that my expectation to the lens gone wrong against PSG.
I thought that would be able to play carefully.

At least lens and marceille have chance to get UCL ticket for next season. This will be more than enough for lens and marseilla for this season. UCL is a very important tick for both of clubs.

PSG will be facing angers soon. Im sure that everyone can predict the result from the match correcting without even needed to see the formation of club. Angers is nothing now in the french league. It's on the relegation zone.
easy three points for PSG.

Precisely what is considered a failure for Paris Saint Germain is that they do not have a coach who can bring a slick game. With their current lineup, they should be able to do even better. Maybe I won't talk about their performance in Ligue 1, but I will emphasize their performance in the Champions League. In the Champions League they couldn't show anything special at all. And what makes them the favorite is that they have star players not because of their appearance.





Still can be pursued but it will be difficult, that's the point. And now what is happening to the clubs that are chasing Paris Saint Germain are also not having good consistency, they are still dropping points frequently. If only they were consistent and didn't drop too many points, then we would see Paris Saint Germain not at the top of the standings. Because they had that opportunity some time ago, they were close to Paris Saint Germain, but at the same time they had to move away again.

To be honest, I'm not sure if Galtier will stay at PSG. IMO, most likely his coaching period will end this season. why, yes, because he didn't give the club and PSG fans what they wanted to win the Champions League trophy.
Meanwhile, I'm not really interested in talking about Zidane. because, it seems he is not interested in becoming a coach of this giant club from the French League. So, this is just a rumor that is exaggerated by journalists and sports media

Speaking of Galtier, to be honest I see him as a coach who has a lot of strategy and tactics. unfortunately, I don't see him having a proven effective system. that is why, Galtier tends to always change his patterns and strategies in each of his team when playing game after game. or maybe, he just doesn't have the power to bring in the players he wants. I mean, for midfielders. because from my point of view, PSG's problem is in the midfielders. both defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder. it can be said, PSG does not have a creative midfielder to help the front line when Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, have difficulty building attacks. which in essence, PSG is too focused on its MNM Trio. but on the other hand, their midfield is weak and fatally results in a poor defense. well, let's wait, is Galtier still being maintained by PSG management, or. it is interesting for us to wait for developments for further developments.

With the remaining competition games this season, eight points are very likely to be chased. But I'm sure it's not easy. PSG when they were still in the UCL they could not play stable in the League. Right now they only focus on one competition. So I'm sure they are able to keep the performance stable and at least not drop points in every game. The rest of their games are not heavy, they are not against clubs that make it difficult statistically.

I don't sure with PSG will loss top standing position because they have 8 points remaining from Marseille and 7 matches left dominance with small against teams. Crucial winning from Lens have give chance for PSG dominance for Ligue 1 tittle in this season and make them close become the winner of Ligue 1.

Have excited for Champion League spot due Ligue 1 has three ticket only and three teams from Marseille, Lens and AS Monaco keep hunting for two ticket left. Lens losing their opportunity close points with PSG after losing 3-1 last weeks, indeed got red card and have to play with ten player become reason why Lens defeated by PSG last games.

I haven't seen Galtier being a perfect coach, if you say he has to be able to control the ego of each of his players, it should be quite a long time since he was appointed he should be able to improve relations between players. But until now the fact is that Paris Saint Germain is still the same as before which is still struggling with the selfishness of its players, I even think it has turned to its supporters.

@Balik currently there’s no way I see PSG losing the top spot now, but in between I had felt that they would have a tough time staying on the top but now it’s clear that they’ll comfortably win the league title. However I won’t call this a massive victory because their lead is barely of 8 points, and it’s pretty low because with their squad they should have a higher lead as this league is pretty easy when compared to other leagues.

I think the red card was fair enough and the referee was right about the red card but Lens aren't lucky because they had to play with players less than PSG for more than 80 minutes, this can be even harder if you consider they are playing against a team with many superstar players like Messi and Mbappe, but if they were playing with the full team maybe they had a good chance to even beat PSG.

maybe in yesterday's match if the Lens player didn't get a red card maybe the score would have been different. because we know that it is impossible for Lens to play well when only 10 players are very difficult to beat PSG.
while the red card for the Lens player made PSG players have a gap to get more goals and get more points and gave a point distance that was a bit far from the team under PSG.
I think it's difficult for Lens and Marseille to catch PSG's points. because PSG still has mainstay players like Messi and Mbappe who can make this PSG team a winner in league 1.

Zidane has not even given a signal if he is interested in PSG. The possible thing for zidane to be a coach for the club based on the french league or serie a.
Zidane has also ever become real madrid's coach. Al nassr has been trying to sign zidane as a new coach to replace rudi garcia. The future of zidane still remains unknown this time. I will be waiting for further announcement from him.

It's quite hard to predict which club will be able to sign him as a new coach but his movement has been waiting by so many parties. Zidane is a phenomenal player in the football as well as manager.
Any news from him has been wating by so many parties.

Zidane is not the only candidate. The special one has been linked to the PSG too.

With PSG missing out on the Champions League platform, their only target now is the Ligue 1 title. Although PSG's performance in the two matches was poor, I am sure they will win the title. And they proved their mettle in the win against Lens.
Lens and Marseille are competing for the title with PSG. The lens is now 9 points behind PSG and Marseille is 8 points behind. I don't think it is possible for these teams to narrow the gap to 8/9 points. This season's Ligue 1 champions will be PSG. And I think PSG's points gap with other teams will increase in the upcoming matches.

I am surprised that there are still many people who link Zidane with PSG, however, he has said he will want to rest for an unspecified time, besides that if Zidane is willing to train PSG then Galtier will definitely be fast at PSG, in fact that doesn't happen at all , meaning that Zidane will not be a PSG coach. Galtier is the perfect coach for PSG, he just has to be able to control the egos of the star players at PSG.
