Galtier's time would run out even if PSG become the champions in the Ligue 1 this season. But not being able to do this can just speed up the process. This match against Lens is like the most crucial match for PSG now. This match has the power to be the decider for the championship as well. If Lens somehow win and surprise us then they will be only three points behind PSG. This can make things pretty interesting on the final weeks of the season. Who knows maybe Lens might also make it then just as Lille did two years ago.
Actually it wouldn't be a huge surprise for me to see PSG losing home. Because it is like not a thing that they would experience for the first time. Recently they lost to Rennes and Lyon like this already. Lens are even a stronger team than both of them. Maybe you will say that the game strategies are different but Lens already defeated PSG once.

The game between toulouse and lyon just started and the home team is putting some pressure on lyon, the stakes are high for lyon team since losing points mean getting farther away from a european spot but beating toulouse is no easy task either they have a decent run this season and they have a solid attack so i won't be surprised if they manage to score today.
Lyon started to have more of the ball and were also able to find the back of the net although the home team replied straight away for an equaliser. It looks like Lyon's match this time will be very fierce because Lyon is chasing a better place in order to enter the Europa League zone next season. But if the home team is able to win today, I also think that Lyon will have a little difficulty getting close to the Europa League zone position in the Ligue1 standings. April 14, 2023, 02:14:29 PM

PSG losing is something that rarely happens, but I am pretty sure that after such a terrible season they will fire the coach and hire someone much better. Why would you get someone that is unknown, I mean this is not a big name, get someone who might be expensive but has a name in the game, and then you could do better.
I would highly suggest getting someone who won UCL a few times at least. I don't know how long Ancelotti has a contract with Real, but imagine if they could get him, bagging him would be the best thing that could possibly happen to PSG, and it is not like they do not have the money for it. Managers are cheap compared to players, I am sure that Ancelotti must be cheap enough to buy for PSG with how much money they have.

Barcelona are in huge financial trouble plus they are in danger of being disqualified for their financial dealings with refereeing officials. There is practically no chance that Messi will return to La Liga. And it’s hard for me to imagine what serious club in Europe needs him now, most likely he will go to the MLS, but maybe to the sheikhs (although this option seems less likely to me since it is less prestigious).
Last statement from Lionel Messi he wants keep stay with Europe team for next season if not reach agreement deal with PSG, but seems disappointed because Messi is the icon how to make Ligue 1 more interested. I don't think if Leo Messi leave PSG and how Ligue 1 popularity for next season.Return to Barcelona seems not possibility because this club have problem with financial and they can't pay huge salary for Messi, but Saudi Pro League teams want to pay more interested salary for him and Primer League team not any confirmation yet want to signing Messi because Manchester City as team linked with Messi last season not any official announcement yet interested with Messi.

It is really sad that a player like Lionel Messi after joining the PSG team left the expensive leagues and currently only plays in Ligue 1. I think if Lionel Messi had joined any other club he would have had more opportunities and could have done great things in a better league.
Ligue 1 is not a low caste league. Messi is playing professionally so far. he's playing well with what he can bring to the team. I don't think other clubs are willing to pay dearly for Messi at his age.how bad is Messi's relationship with PSG and its fans? I think Messi will still play professionally for the rest of the season, if indeed in the summer Messi will leave PSG.
hopefully, Messi gets the best place in European clubs. even if he has to return to his former club.
But despite all his intimidating records, I don't think he's bigger than a whole football league like the French Ligue 1 and it'll be a very big insult to one of the the biggest five leagues in Europe to compare them to a player. The Ligue 1 has in the past had other football geniuses play in the league before the arrival of Leo Messi and even when he leaves, the French Ligue will still continue to accommodate more football greats

Toulouse will face Lyon today. both have pretty much the same gameplay. It's quite difficult to predict this fight. Toulouse has a slightly worse defense. and that can be used by Lyon who will be the favorites in this match.
their previous meeting at home Lyon ended in a 1-1 draw. and now it might be Toulouse's opportunity to gain a home advantage.

I've made my bet decision and bet for Lyon today
Lyon's match statistics for at least the last 5 weeks is a consideration for me, even though the average ends in a draw but they haven't lost in the last five weeks, on the other hand Lyon managed to surprise us when face an away match against Paris Saint Germain
After see the comparison between the two teams, I'm sure Lyon is much more consistent than Toulouse
These two teams score a lot of goals so is only natural to expect a lot of goals in this encounter so the most natural result should be an over 2.5 goals if both teams play like they always do.I am a bit worried though as sometimes Lyon games end in goalless draw and I have seen a lot of people betting on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals so I am just following what the majority is doing.
Lyon has the upper hand or in theory they should have it as they have been playing somewhat better football and entertaining one but Toulouse also plays beautiful football and since they are playing at home maybe they can surprise everyone tonight with a win against Lyon.Money lines bet are most of the times the most dangerous ones so I stay away from them.

PSG needs to do the transition to the club. Changing all of old players with fully young talented players will become the best decision. Messi was not always become a key for PSG. There are so many good names that are capable enough to replace him.
I heard that psg was targeting some names like ziyech. Even PSG was also aiming osimhen from napoli. Neymar will be going out from PSG.
Mbappe will be the only player that will still remain at PSG.
It is very difficult for PSG to replace Messi at the moment. PSG's performance in the last few matches makes me think that the team has become too dependent on Messi. Messi played well in the last match, and PSG won as a result. However, the PSG team was defeated in the previous two matches. Messi is also in good form, his fitness is also good. So PSG management should try to keep Messi in the team for one more season. And at the same time to find a suitable replacement for Messi.I heard that psg was targeting some names like ziyech. Even PSG was also aiming osimhen from napoli. Neymar will be going out from PSG.
Mbappe will be the only player that will still remain at PSG.
With midfielders Hakim Ziyech and Osimhen in the squad, PSG's midfield and attack look to be somewhat strengthened. At the same time, it is a good decision not to keep Neymar in the team. Although Neymar is an excellent player, he has been sidelined for most of the season due to injuries. Signing Neymar was the biggest losing project for PSG.
for me, if PSG extends the contract with Messi, it is not a loss, but rather an advantage for PSG, while Messi always gives a good performance in every game.
maybe PSG should take all this into account and if they make the wrong decision, it looks bad in the long term.
You are right. Replacing Messi now is too risky. The PSG team has now become very dependent on Messi's performance. And if Messi suddenly leaves the team at this moment, then PSG will face a lot of problems. PSG management should now look for a young player to replace Messi. And keeping Messi on the team this season. Young players need a lot of time to adapt to the team. Also, Messi's fitness is still very good. He does not suffer major injuries easily. And so PSG management will surely benefit if Messi stays with their squad for one more season. The players of the team are also confident when Messi is with the squad.

I'm excited for Reims as well this season. Because they are absolutely having their brightest period with Will Still now. Since his arrival at the team they have been doing amazing things in the league. They maintained a lasting unbeaten streak until losing to Marseille finally. But they still continued to do a good work after this result. Because they have a really solid discipline from now on. But they stumbled against Brest in a home match which I wasn't waiting for. Reims actually had a huge dominance but they barely saved one point surprisingly.
They are still not too far away from the 5th place though. Their job won't be easy for this goal at all of course. It starts with a tough away match against Rennes tomorrow. They beat Rennes home before but I don't fully trust them about repeating it. I guess I will bet on both teams to score instead.
Talking about Reims, they really have an extraordinary record at home and any team that will be their opponent will find it very difficult to bring home full points. But that record had to stop after the match against Marseille and in my opinion that is quite reasonable considering that there will definitely be a time when Reims will lose at home.They are still not too far away from the 5th place though.

The next opponent is Rennes and I agree with you that this time it is impossible for Reims to beat Rennes away and betting for both teams to score sounds reasonable considering the intensity with which these two teams can end in a draw by scoring the same goals. But I would prefer to bet fully on Rennes' win in this match.

Ligue 1 is not a low caste league. Messi is playing professionally so far. he's playing well with what he can bring to the team. I don't think other clubs are willing to pay dearly for Messi at his age.
how bad is Messi's relationship with PSG and its fans? I think Messi will still play professionally for the rest of the season, if indeed in the summer Messi will leave PSG.
hopefully, Messi gets the best place in European clubs. even if he has to return to his former club.

The most important thing is not the type of league Messi is playing, weather it is a low level league and we shouldn't see it as a wrong decision joining ligue 1 amidst interest from other Leagues, All we have to look into is his level of performance as an individual, I think Messi is giving his best at 35 years as much as he can and even to a better level to the team. He has contributed positively in many ways and with the current contract extension means he aims to achieve more success with the club in the coming season mostly in Uefa champions League which is more important to the team generally.

The reason why most people think like that about the French League is mostly because except for PSG other teams will not put much investment to buy superstar players and that's why compared to many other leagues and especially compared to the premier league you see fewer interesting games, while in this season even PSG with all the investments they had could perform well enough.

PSG will still make a scheme that seems to be the same as the previous match with an emphasis on Mbappe and Messi. This can clearly be a reference for Lens about what strategy they should do.
However now it wouldn't be wrong to play an open game with PSG even if it was certain for possession Lens lost but making the most of the quick counter-attacks and long balls that Lens always does is still possible for a repeat of their first meeting.

That's clear, there is no other choice that Galtier can hope for besides pairing their two stars. as for Hugo Ikitike, it seemed he lacked the coach's trust. and we can see why in the last few matches Galtier has used a 3-5-2 system. meaning, their focus is on their two stars namely Mbappe and Neymar. Here, Galtier puts more emphasis on the midfield player. unfortunately, PSG does not have an ideal midfielder. especially, those who have creativity, whether it's skills, dribbling, or anything that helps their forward players.
Talking about the PSG vs Lens match, if I refer to the predicted line-up and formation that Galtier will apply. it seems, most likely Galtier will try to tamper with the system he implements. there are two possibilities, galtier using the 3-5-2 pattern, or 5-3-2. but still, their focus is on the two stars. well, if Lens plays openly, in other words Lens must be ready to be overthrown by PSG players. except, PSG's midfield played badly. However, if I refer to the temporary prediction that Fanck Haise will set. it seems, he will apply 3-4-3. that is, they will also play offensively. by the way, this is only a prediction. but still, after all PSG is superior to Lens.

Lyon will playing away against Toulouse today and if Lyon can displayed the performance such as they beat PSG and Rennes last week i think earn 3 points should be easy task for them especially from meetings records we can see Lyon had positive results from Toulouse but i think Lyon shouldn't be underestimate Toulouse because sometimes they can able to performing well and the latest is this team can advance to France cup final match with Nantes
Last week Bradley Barcola can performing well and he had good contribution to bringing Lyon to earn 3 points from Rennes even he has scored goal at that time but unfortunately he will be unable to played today because of card accumulation and based on the odds i can see Lyon is slightly the favourite in this match @2.23 and maybe this is the best picked for this match considering Lyon performance has showed good progress recently
There really is no other reason if we want to bet on Lyon, apart from their improving performance, but they were able to shoot up to 7th place in the standings last week. If Lyon can beat Toulouse, then they will be closer to Rennes in the standings.Last week Bradley Barcola can performing well and he had good contribution to bringing Lyon to earn 3 points from Rennes even he has scored goal at that time but unfortunately he will be unable to played today because of card accumulation and based on the odds i can see Lyon is slightly the favourite in this match @2.23 and maybe this is the best picked for this match considering Lyon performance has showed good progress recently
On the other hand, Rennes will face a fairly even opponent, namely Reims and in my opinion it is likely that this match will end in a draw with both teams scoring goals, but if there is a small chance of winning it falls on Rennes. This week we will be presented with the competition of several teams to fight for a better position this week.

If Lens loses the match against Paris Saint Germain, then Marseille will take advantage of that to replace Lens in second place again. The reason is they will face an easier match against Troyes. Troyes is now one of the teams in the relegation zone, so maybe this will not be a difficult game for Marseille who will act as hosts. Looks like they'll be able to win easily.
Well, if the result is like that then not only Marseille can take over second place, but PSG will again get a wide gap in points with the team in second place. So yes, it looks like I will still support Lens to be able to get points in this match, whether it's three points or maybe just one point.
Because yes, Marseille does have a very good chance of being able to win the match against Troyes because it is against a mediocre team or at least a team that is in the relegation zone, but Marseille is also playing at home. So indeed, it will be an easy factor for Marseille to win and get three points in this match.
