the situation will be difficult for PSG if Mbappe leaves them. especially if PSG is not ready to replace him in the team. they will negotiate for Mbappe to stay with PSG. but Mbappe wants development and challenges. and the Premier League is a good place for him to develop alongside tougher competition. we have to realize that the French League is not as tight as the English League. maybe Mbappe realized that.
Mbappe really wants to leave PSG on the grounds of growth and further development in his career as this has always been the bases and reason for wanting to leave PSG because the French league in it's entirety isn't helping with development and it's aswell looking more like a mediocre league as the day goes by.

Premier league isn't a place for development either, if mabppe moves to England he will only be in competition and not develop, england isn't a place for development but advancements due to the nature of the league, it's competitiveness and the level of attention it attracts aswell ares such that only players who are looking forward to advance on bigger platforms gets the best out of premier league but for developing players they may not Excel that much as they will in other leagues ,I think mbappe will do even better if he goes to Spain rather than england.

I don't think it will be a problem for PSG if Mbappe leaves in Ligue 1. But in the UEFA Champions League, They will face big problems. They have a match with Real Sociedad in the UEFA Champions League and I think without Mbappe they will struggle against them. PSG has achieved a good lead and I believe that would make them comfortable in Ligue 1. If they had not had that, they probably would have been in danger.

But to be honest I don't see Mbappe leaving. Because if he were to leave, we already would have heard some rumors by now. Real Madrid also said they wouldn't be buying any new players, so Mbappe wouldn't be joining Real Madrid. And I don't think any other team can afford him.
If Mbappe leaves PSG it will affect them both in the uefa champions league and the domestic league, because Mbappe is PSG's point man, and PSG does not have any other player who can fill Mbappe position if he leaves for another club. Real Madrid should look for another good striker to sign because PSG will not be willing to release Mbappe.

There was a small window of opportunity for them when they played the Champions League final against Bayern Munich and lost it 0-1. In that game PSG had their chances and they could have won the game with a higher level of efficiency, but Bayern Munich was the team that turned one of their two shots on target into a goal. It was a close game and nobody would have complained if PSG won the final back then.

But the real problem now is that I think PSG is much weaker than they were back then. That's why I highly doubt they can make it into the final again and then win the final. However, if they get some lucky draws now, I don't know maybe they can advance a few rounds. But if they are playing against Manchester City or Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, I can't see how they would be able to beat them.
That's right, because it's impossible for luck to follow them over and over again by getting an easy draw. Moreover, in the quarter-finals and semifinals, what remains are teams that have strong enough strength so it will definitely be very difficult for PSG to compete and win.
I saw this and it is very realistic in my opinion that many people doubt PSG this season because in terms of strength the PSG team is not very strong this season (compared to last season) and they are also often inconsistent.

If someone often watches the Champions League and Ligue 1 then it can seem very easy to judge because they used to have the best strikers in the team but there wasn't much they could do in the Champions League. In the Champions League, the strongest team may not necessarily be able to win, especially if PSG only relies on Mbappe individually because the Champions League is quite different from any other league, apart from experience it also requires collective player maturity.

For me, PSG is not the favorite team in the Champions League because there are many things they need to evaluate. Maybe we need to wait a few seasons so that Luis Enrique can bring PSG into a strong team and that depends on how management gives him the opportunity to manage PSG.
Favorites teams, Paris Saint Germain doesn't come close, it was 2 seasons back that we were able to sketch Les Parisiens as a potential club to win the UCL title. However they will keep making attempts until one faithful season, they will be crowned Champions of the UEFA Champions League which is regarded as the best trophy for club levels. Every UCL season, PSG makes it but they're unable to win the trophy, I keep asking myself this question repeatedly, why should we become surprised knowing fully well the standard of PSG and their incapability to win.
PSG are nowhere among teams who can fight for the Tittle this season.We have seen how they play,and one can conclude that they won't even be able to reach Semi final of the tournament.Messi,and Neymar was in that same team,and they couldn't win the champions league,talk more of now that those duo are no more with the club.We all know that one tree cannot make a forest,that is to say,only Mbape cannot make PSG win the Champions league.I tip Real Madrid, Dortmund and Mancity and Inter Milan  to be serious contenders to the league tittle.We just need to watch out and see which team can win the trophy.
Yes, I agree with you that PSG's squad was better in previous years, but you are wrong about this. PSG still has the possibility of winning the UCL this year, although it is difficult. Last year, Inter had good draws until the final. Maybe this will be the case in PSG and the best player in the final will win. On the other hand, I think they have the strength to eliminate Real Sociedad. Even if Mbappe is not alone, he may be able to achieve this with the tactics of Luis Enrique and other players.

I also think that Real Madrid can go to the final, after all it is their habit, as we have seen in recent years
As a Real Madrid fan I would be happy with Carlo Ancellotti's work, he has a frightening continuity

It depends on which clubs they meet in the quarterfinals and semi-finals.
For now their probability is still very high until now, especially seeing the round of 16 this time they will only meet with Leipzig, so indeed the great hope of qualifying is clearly visible even though until now Leipzig is one of the clubs that can be troublesome but Madrid's probability in this match is clearly very large.

If in the end Ancelotti can do the best thing just like they did in the last 2 seasons then indeed it allows them to get to the final but in this case there is consistency and chemistry that must be maintained so that they do not make some careless actions that are detrimental to themselves. In addition, there are some things that must be done especially in improving the defense which is still lacking players until now but Ancelotti always feels that they don't need to bring in defenders especially at the center back position which still has many gaps due to several injured players and it takes time to heal and re-adapt.

I also believe that Real Madrid has the capability to win the Champions League. But Their biggest hurdle in their way will be of course Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Now Ancelotti will remain at Real Madrid till 2026 and he has signed the contract.  I have also heard that they will not sign any new players in the winter transfer window.  I think it will be very hard for them to continue with this very long injury list, many of their key players are injured. But if they can keep up, there will be no issues.

They have very tough schedules in February and very important matches as well. But Real Madrid are no losers and they have the confidence. If they have faith, then everybody should fear them.
This will be a concern for Madrid because when it comes to confidence i
 personally have a strong belief that Madrid can advance to the next round because  of the strength and experience they have in the Champions League but in this case there are some concerns that occur from their internal problems.
 
The situation that I know at the moment for Madrid is that they will not be looking for defender especially defensive center which are currently having problems due to the injury of several player who take time but in his statement Ancelotti said that he still believe in several player like Tchouameni, Carvajal and Nacho who can temporarily replace positions in the defensive center of course this could be good but on the other hand it could backfire on them because after all Acelotti selfishness like this happened when Benzema suffered a recurring injury last season and they emphasizdd that they would not bring the striker even though Benzema  went back and forth for treatment which made Madrid experience problem and lost the Champions League  and La Liga trophies last seasons.

Paris Saint Germaine are undoubtedly the best French team at the moment and have dominated the French football for almost the last one decade but one thing they're yet to do is to win the UEFA champions league competition. In recent years, Paris Saint Germaine's management has spent hugely to sign the best players in the world to the club and despite all these efforts of the management, Paris Saint Germaine are yet to have a taste of how it feels to be a European champion.
Their current manager Luis Enrique is already a winner of the competition and we believe he's gonna steer them to greatness in no distant but that's if the club management will continue to believe in the Spaniard's managerial experience.

Real Madrid is not the only team that is the favorite to win the Champions League title this season, but you have to consider Manchester City, Bayern Munich and several other strong teams, including PSG. All teams have the chance to win the match and advance to the final, but the probability vary.

Teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter, Dortmund, PSG and Barcelona have the opportunity to advance from the round of 16 to the quarter-finals. They will challenge each other so that each match will be very tight in the quarter-finals. If all the teams above really qualify for the quarter-finals, then I think we can expect the semi-final and final matches to be very great.
Yes, there are still other clubs that can be favored, not only Real Madrid, but we can see how many Real Madrid won the Champions League trophy, so it's natural that more Real Madrid are favorites compared to the others. I myself don't really favor just one club. because other clubs such as Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Inter Milan are still strong rivals in the Champions League and will be strong competitors between other clubs in reaching the final round, while Barcelona and PSG I am not too sure about these two clubs with conditions that are not too stable so that the Champions League title can only be won by clubs that play stably and impressively.

Of course, the clubs you mentioned are top clubs in their respective domestic leagues so it is very likely that these clubs will advance to the quarter-finals and compete very fiercely to reach the semifinals. I can not waiting to watch this match which will certainly look exciting.

For some reason in this case I want to separate PSG from the candidates Cheesy
Indeed in terms of strength they are still very much a priority and could be a strong candidate to win the Champions League but it seems that to do that it needs extra effort for them at this time if they really want to be included in the list of the strongest clubs and juxtaposed with some big clubs like Manchester City or maybe Madrid and Bayern.

PSG's situation is always unfavourable for them every season because in the last 2 seasons they always meet strong clubs and the clubs they face always become champions at the end of the season. This season they also have difficulties because they have to be in the hell group and the quality of players who are still in transition after the overhaul in the attack line.
They need to work harder if they really expect a good position or can compete for the Champions League title.
PSG performance wasn't too impressive during group stages because they had suffering 2 loses and PSG only able to collect 8 points from 6 matches and their final position have to determined in the last match of group stages but luckly PSG can able to qualified to round of 16 and they will facing Sociedad later which is on the paper PSG should be able to overcomes Sociedad but it won't be easy because Sociedad performance is more impressive although this is their first time to playing at round of 16 but i don't think Sociedad can be underestimate

Indeed i think i have to agree with you that PSG probably cannot be considered as champion candidate this season because they have to hard struggle to through an group stages even in the last two season PSG was unable to reach to the quarterfinal stages but they are under new manager Luis Enrique which is this manager had good experience in champion league because he can able to bringing Barcelona to gets the trophy so lets see how far they will go in this competition

Drastically difference level between Ligue 1 and UEFA Champion League matches, PSG easily manage top standings position in Ligue 1 but face difficult how to qualify next round in Champion League and this season got lucky with goals difference from AC Milan after having the same points. Agree with your opinion about PSG is not favorite team in Champion League regarding their performance in Ligue 1 with not high compete fail for winning all domestic league matches.
But get little easy opponent team on 16 round against Real Sociedad, looking Sociedad performance in domestic league no quit well although can manage top standings group in Champion League.

It cannot be denied that Mbappe's influence is quite big for PSG and if Mbappe leaves in the transfer this January then I am very sure that PSG's progress in the UCL will not be long.
The presence or absence of Mbappe I don't really put great hopes for PSG in the Champions League because if you pay attention when they have a trio of world attackers, they also cannot give anything. This is not about one person but how the coach can motivate other players and the condition of the coach is also quite a role to bring his team successful in any competition.
s I agree, if compared to the UCL, the presence or absence of Mbappe at PSG will not have that much effect, they still have the strength if only to come out as group winners, but for the next match, I think there are more teams that are more appropriate at this time we are talking about as a strong team in the UCL this season.

I don't think it will be a problem for PSG if Mbappe leaves in Ligue 1. But in the UEFA Champions League, They will face big problems. They have a match with Real Sociedad in the UEFA Champions League and I think without Mbappe they will struggle against them. PSG has achieved a good lead and I believe that would make them comfortable in Ligue 1. If they had not had that, they probably would have been in danger.
It will indeed be easier to be eliminated from the Champions League if players like Mbappe leave PSG in the transfer market this month, because now PSG is in need of several players like Mbappe, although not only for the front line. In the Champions League, PSG have never succeeded in winning a trophy, so this season will really be difficult if a player like Mbappe leaves PSG and there is no more worthy replacement.

Quote
But to be honest I don't see Mbappe leaving. Because if he were to leave, we already would have heard some rumors by now. Real Madrid also said they wouldn't be buying any new players, so Mbappe wouldn't be joining Real Madrid. And I don't think any other team can afford him.
The rumors are not yet visible, but who knows in the next few days it will be if Mbappe really wants to leave. However, if Mbappe himself doesn't want to leave or the fee for being approached by another team feels too big and expensive, maybe that's what's keeping the rumors from surfacing now.

I already said what type of player I was talking about. A big transfer like Mbappe could change the direction of the Champions League for the team transferred him. We can't be 100% sure about this transfer not to happen in January at the same time. I just feel like it would happen this summer probably rather than January.

But it is really difficult to be sure of something in the transfer market. It is all about money and what that player feels about this transfer to happen immediately.  Smiley

Since Mbappe is available for a contract offer we never know.

At the moment, Mbappe is guaranteed two games in the Champions League (in the 1/8 finals), if he changes clubs during the winter transfer window, he will lose the right to play in this season of the Champions League. I'm 99% sure that he won't do this.
I will leave one percent to the fact that somehow miraculously he will end up in Liverpool (and will play in the Europa League, which is better than nothing) since in recent days rumors that Liverpool have entered the fight for Mbappe have intensified again.

But let's assume that Mbappe would leave PSG during the winter transfer window, who would benefit from that? I am not perfectly familiar with the regulations rolled out by the UEFA for players who change clubs in winter and played the Champions League already, but would he be allowed to play in the Europa League?

Anyway, if he changed the clubs, who would be the winners? Liverpool most likely no as they would have to pay a transfer fee while they could get him without paying that fee in summer. Mbappe is not the winner because he would not play the CL anymore, he would (I think) not be allowed to play the Europa League and his signing bonus would decrease significantly. Now he can charge a huge signing bonus in summer because his contract expires. So in summary, Mbappe would lose. PSG would get some transfer fee although it will be far below of what they asked for last summer. But they would lose their biggest hope for the CL games. I don't see a winner when this transaction became real in winter and is not just a rumor.

Manchester City's job won't be easy at all when it comes to winning a back-to-back title in the Champions League. Because it was already their first Champions League title in their history last season and for now I doubt them to repeat this a little. There are a couple of teams that might eliminate them this time.

One of those teams could be Real Madrid of course. Real Madrid have been dominating the Champions League for long years. They have a lot of titles achieved here - 14. They were really destroyed by Manchester City at Etihad last season maybe. But this season Real Madrid are much stronger. In case of a finale between these teams it would be really interesting.  Smiley

I honestly don't see why they can't win the Champions League again this year. they have a great team with great players at their disposal, and everything will also depend on the next draw. Real Madrid is the King of the competition and is obviously a candidate for final victory, as it was last year too. I believe that if the draw allows, these two teams can challenge each other in the final and show the whole world who is stronger

Everyone knows that Real Madrid is the favourite to win the Champions League every season, but Manchester City performed very well last season, challenging Real Madrid and defeating them to win the trophy, but this season Manchester City are not in form like last season, and I believe Real Madrid will defeat Manchester City in round 8 if they meet each other because Madrid are in good form. I feel that if Real Madrid does not win the cup, Manchester City or Bayern Munich will be the only teams that can challenge any club that they meet, and I believe that three of them will still qualify for the quarter finals because the club that they are Playing with is just a poor clubs that can challenge them in the competition. I will prefer real madrid to meet Manchester City in the Champions League final that will be a very interesting game to watch.
There are many rich clubs but only two clubs have the right to advance to the final. Man City versus Madrid, I agree is an ideal match, and between them there is Bayern Munchen who are also equally favourites. Apart from these three clubs, I think all the contestants have the same big chance, and who knows, with the squad they have, they can talk a lot and make a surprise by beating the rich clubs.

Defending a trophy is more difficult than winning it, that's what Pep Guardiola squad currently feels. Very reasonable, Pep must motivate his troops to remain hungry for the championship trophy, not to quickly become complacent with the achievements they have achieved. However, for now, City has a big chance to repeat last season success even though they have slumped in the EPL for several weeks.

It is possible that an ideal match like a final could occur earlier, bringing together the favorite teams in the semi finals. However, it is still too early to talk about this, because the round of 16 has not yet been played. It could be that all predictions are broken, we never know for sure how each contestant will perform in the future, we need to wait a while.

Just like Manchester City, who always try to become champions in this competition, in the end they were able to, even winning the treble winner. the same is true for Paris Saint-Germain. unfortunately, City and PSG have many differences. City started by building the foundations early, while PSG with a big star mega project. maybe they think that having star players with big names can bring PSG to achieve its dreams and missions so far. unfortunately, PSG is not supported by a coach who has a track record in this competition. plus, relying too much on the front line. even though, there are several positions that are lacking and what they need.

Now, PSG is handled by a coach who has experience in this event. it's just that Luis Enrique's squad has not yet achieved the game the coach wants. we can prove this simply, if Luis Enrique always tries to rotate and change the pattern of his system. which means, what he implemented was not according to his wishes. plus, the players they have haven't played at the level the coach wants. so, it's natural that Mbappe remains his mainstay. also, Enrique needs some newcomers to complement his needs. now, we are talking about the PSG vs Real Sociedad match. in theory and on paper, PSG is far superior to its opponents. apart from playing at the Parc des Princes, PSG's headquarters. Luis Enrique's squad is also more favored based on the betting market. even though it is temporary, it shows that PSG has a higher probability than Real Sociedad in the next match. whether you win or not, all of that will be determined when this match is held. so, let's wait.
PSg are in same shoes as how Man City were few years ago but the difference is that Manchester City had a rebuilding process and had a very big competition domestically which helped them improve so well. But PSG is lacking so many of these as we can see that there are no competitions domestically which makes them a bit relaxed.

 Now when you look at the coach in charge yes he’s good but not top notched and might not be able to handle this squad to get the best out of them. I think he needs to get his own major signings and he should try not to build this club around Mbappé. His departure could hurt this club so he should try as much as possible to get early replacement. And I hope the other clubs in the league gets better investment so as to put a competition for PSG.

I honestly don't see why they can't win the Champions League again this year. they have a great team with great players at their disposal, and everything will also depend on the next draw. Real Madrid is the King of the competition and is obviously a candidate for final victory, as it was last year too. I believe that if the draw allows, these two teams can challenge each other in the final and show the whole world who is stronger
Everyone knows that Real Madrid is the favourite to win the Champions League every season, but Manchester City performed very well last season, challenging Real Madrid and defeating them to win the trophy, but this season Manchester City are not in form like last season, and I believe Real Madrid will defeat Manchester City in round 8 if they meet each other because Madrid are in good form. I feel that if Real Madrid does not win the cup, Manchester City or Bayern Munich will be the only teams that can challenge any club that they meet, and I believe that three of them will still qualify for the quarter finals because the club that they are Playing with is just a poor clubs that can challenge them in the competition. I will prefer real madrid to meet Manchester City in the Champions League final that will be a very interesting game to watch.

Real Madrid is not the only team that is the favorite to win the Champions League title this season, but you have to consider Manchester City, Bayern Munich and several other strong teams, including PSG. All teams have the chance to win the match and advance to the final, but the probability vary.

Teams such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter, Dortmund, PSG and Barcelona have the opportunity to advance from the round of 16 to the quarter-finals. They will challenge each other so that each match will be very tight in the quarter-finals. If all the teams above really qualify for the quarter-finals, then I think we can expect the semi-final and final matches to be very great.

Manchester City's job won't be easy at all when it comes to winning a back-to-back title in the Champions League. Because it was already their first Champions League title in their history last season and for now I doubt them to repeat this a little. There are a couple of teams that might eliminate them this time.

One of those teams could be Real Madrid of course. Real Madrid have been dominating the Champions League for long years. They have a lot of titles achieved here - 14. They were really destroyed by Manchester City at Etihad last season maybe. But this season Real Madrid are much stronger. In case of a finale between these teams it would be really interesting.  Smiley
