French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[shogun47]

Messi once mentioned that Barcelona is his home and that he wants to return to his home, but perhaps he isn't planning to play for them again, but to take on a role in the upper management of Barcelona. I don't think he would ever become a coach, but it is possible that he becomes the president or some other position where he can take on responsibility.

If messi said like that and does it mean barcelona will be signing him back again without even realizing the problem that has not solved yet by the club? Even messi's family was also aware about how small possibility for barcelona to sign him back again. The chance is pretty small caused by barcelona didn't have good financial anymore. It's unlike real madrid that was doing business carefully. I guess messi will not go to the barcelona.

Though PSG knows that and maybe they are going to offer him a contract that he can't deny. Like the one Mbappe has signed.

PSG already offered messi a new contract but messi just deny it again and again. Recently messi was giving some requirements to be completed by PSG before the club will able to extend messi's contract. The main problem is these requirements are very difficult to be filled by PSG.
Messi is still wanna playing as a professional player

Real Madrid hasn't been much better off than Barcelona when it comes to total debt. Yes Barcelona is the worst, but I think it was helpful for Real Madrid that they have been very successful in the Champions League. But when you see what players like Kroos and Modric earn it is hard to understand how Real Madrid will be able to solve their financial issues as well.
For now PSG won this important game and I think that was the last chance for Olympique Marseille to keep the Ligue 1 exciting. The next months will be interesting when Messi makes his decision and perhaps Real Madrid will try one more time to get Mbappe. What I wonder is though that Mbappe is playing on the same position as Vinicius Junior and Vinicius would not accept to play less.

For a long time, the Real Madrid management wanted to get Mbappe into the team. Every season we hear rumours that Mbappe will join Real Madrid. But he ended up renewing his contract with PSG each time. Mbappe has disappointed Real Madrid fans several times.

Real Madrid now needs a suitable replacement for Benzema. Mbappe is a very talented player. But the problem is that he plays in Vini's position. Real Madrid does not need a replacement for Vini. However, if Mbappe joins Madrid, Ancelotti may change his strategy to include both Vini and Mbappe in the squad.

Neymar and Messi are rumored to leave PSG. In this case, I don't think PSG will risk any decision to sell Mbappe at the moment. I think we will see Mbappe in the PSG team next season as well.

Who knows whether Ancelotti will even still be the coach for Real Madrid next year?

PSG has some interesting times in front of it and decisions to make. Mbappe has a long term contract and they are fine with it, they don't have to let him go. Messi constantly allows for the discussion to arise where he will go next, but now that he won the World Cup and the FIFA award for the best soccer player in the world, there is more incentive for PSG to keep him than just his abilities as a player. Clubs like PSG want the best players and also the players with the biggest fan bases and the most prestigious names in the sport. That is Messi for PSG right now. Neymar not so much as he has too many scandals. The next transfer period could be a very interesting one as it seems that Messi was offered 300 million per year from Saudi Arabia as well. That hasn't been verified yet, but what is Messi going to do then? From a financial perspective it is hard to decline such an offer. But I think that Messi might not be that worse off staying with PSG as they are also sheikhs. It was different for Ronaldo as Manchester could have never even paid close to what Al Nasr is paying now. If Messi leaves, that might initiate a further domino effect.

Whenever I heard that Messi Mbappe would not play in this match, I doubted that PSG would not win this match. That's why many people bet for AS Monaco yesterday.  However, PSG conceded 3 goals in the first half. And PSG managed to score a goal. Neither team could score in the second half. PSG left the field with a 3-1 defeat at the last minute. This is PSG's third defeat in the current league. Of course, PSG is at the top of the league table with 54 points in 23 matches. And AS Monaco has reached the second position with 47 points in 23 matches. And Marseille is in third position with 46 points after playing 22 matches. PSG's 3rd defeats from first place is a huge blow. But let's see what benefits PSG can bring against Bayern Munich on the 15th.

I'm not surprised by PSG's defeat against Monaco, especially since SPG has a crucial match in the next three days against Bayern in the last 16 of the Champions League. but at least, this defeat was really embarrassing for Galtier who couldn't maximize the performance of his troops. I'm starting to doubt, with what Galtier applies. supposedly, this match could have ended in a draw or at least PSG lost by a narrow score.

In this match, Galtier again tweaked his formation with a 3-5-2 pattern. and again, the PSG players struggled to adapt to what Galtier wanted. the absence of Mbappe and Messi clearly had a huge impact, it was evident that PSG had a very difficult time keeping up with Monaco's game. even Monaco has a much better chance than PSG, they have 19 total shots, 9 of which are on target. meanwhile, PSG only had 7 total shots, 2 of which were on target. as a result, PSG had to be humiliated a second time like the PSG match against Lens.

Talking about the Champions League match, I can't speculate much that this match will feature an interesting fight from the two teams. but at least, Bayern have an advantage if it turns out that Mbappe and Messi are absent in the game later.

What I think of all this is that what PSG really wanted was to protect their star and determining players, so as not to get injured, although I'm not very sure, but I seemed to read on Facebook that Lio Messi had been injured, and I don't know He doesn't know if he will be in the game against Bayern, which I think if he is, it will be a considerable loss, because the team needs him for that game.

Bayern will not lose an opportunity in this game, now, I understand that the coach put a different team to play against Monaco to get out of that commitment and things did not go well for him. What I think is that PSG is now concentrating only on the UCL, they know they have to win, on the other hand, Monaco and Marseille are on the lookout, but I think PSG's advantage is quite big, for me after this match in the UCL will change the way they play.

PSG manager Christophe Galtier confirmed on Friday that Messi will be available to feature against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, although it is unclear whether the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will be at 100 percent for the contest.

If it were up to former France national team manager Raymond Domenech, he would roll out Messi to play against the reigning Bundesliga champions, even if the forward is not fully fit for the matchup.

“There is no hesitation to have,” Domenech said during a recent appearance on the “L’Equipe du Soir” program. “We must try. If they don’t try, it’s useless because the PSG season is based on the European Cup.

It has been very tough for PSG in the last 5 matches. Just 2 out of 5 isn't a good result. It would have been better if Mbappe and Messi were featured but it wasn't possible. If at all it happens, It will be so challenging for PSG to win The Bundesliga champions without Lionel Messi who is undoubtedly PSG's best player by rating.
It is okay to say that PSG is currently not fit to play Bayern Munich.

Well now things were not easy for PSG in the UCL, the result is hard to double despite the fact that it was only 1 goal against them, now they have to play in Germany against a Bayern that is going to take care of and defend that result, it is a game to the death, what I intuit is that PSG is going to come out with the same intensity that they came out to play when Mbappé came on to play that the whole team was at

Something that we all should know is that Mbappé did not have to play, according to himself, he said that he came in to help his team and his friends, and he almost managed to make a difference, however the goal he scored was disallowed by thousandths in that out of bounds game, something totally heart attack.

Psg team totally destroyed marseille yesterday and secured the title in my opinion after monaco loss yesterday, despite the score being 3 0 marseille team had as many chances as psg team did but they were not surgical in the finish and not to mention the huge role donnaruma played in the win since he saved many dangerous goal chances, this win will give them a huge moral boost when facing bayern in the champions league.

I also think that PSG's morale and motivation to perform better in the second leg of the Champions League is huge, but don't forget that recently Bayern Munich has also started to be able to beat strong teams in the Bundesliga and the second leg of the Champions League later too. took place at home to Bayern Munich so there are still no easy words for PSG in the Champions League even though PSG have been able to beat Marseille in Ligue1.

Well, Marseille is one thing and Bayern is another, Bayern, as well as PSG, are also doing very well, they beat Union Berlin, who was about to take first place in the Bundesliga, so Bayern and PSG are very motivated, let's also remember that Bayern has a game advantage over PSG, so they have a lot of need, and PSG has to go play in Germany, which will be visitors, there are many things they have against, in the Ligue 1 I do not deny that they will be champions, but now the UCL is something else, French fútbol has improved a lot, but German fútbol is taking its level.

[NicNacCoin]

Probably because the PSG players felt that the Ligue 1 title would be the only title they would get this year, they started to play well 
Obviously Mbappe is already fully healthy and will take part in the game with Bayern, but I still hope that the star team will beat the team of stars once again.

PSG has the most star players. In that ratio, PSG can't perform well in some matches. Mbappe is currently fully healthy while Neymar is injured. Neymar may not be able to participate in this PSG match with Brian Munich. I don't think PSG is a good fit without Neymar. PSG must not only win this match but PSG must beat Bayern Munich by at least 2-0. Only then they can survive in the next round. Let's see what success can bring for the next round.

[rahmad2nd]

I thought Monaco would win this match. They disappointed me. A few days ago this Monaco team beat the PSG team 3-1. Monaco lost 3-0 against Nice. The performance of Monaco's defence was very poor. Nice played well. I will not deny it. However, the Monaco team would not have conceded three goals in this match if the performance of Monaco's defenders was a little better. Nice's players were able to make a total of 12 shots in this match. They lost their last matches in Monaco and Marseille. Lens now have a good chance to move to second place in the points table.

I'm probably the most mad of everyone, because I had a Monaco bet from long ago to win this season's league. Then some time in between I already gave up, but then since the new year began, it looked like PSG were starting to wobble and Monaco were starting to put some solid results in. Then the upset when they went H2H as you say.

And then just like that wham, lose big.

We all knew it was too good to be true but I feel the most dumb for getting my hopes up again lol

Should have, Monaco had no trouble against Nice at Stade Louis II, their own headquarters. after all, Monaco is one level above Nice. but in fact, Monaco was unable to maximize the momentum when playing at home to overthrow Nice. to be honest, in this match I chose to bet on Nice. not because of the odds available for Nice, but because Monaco have put in quite a tough match. Previously, Monaco played a crucial match in the Europa League playoffs.

Based on my considerations, it seems that Monaco will experience a slight decrease in performance due to an overly busy schedule. My assumption is that this fight will be won by Nice with a narrow score. but in fact, Nice was able to overthrow Monaco with a landslide score. as a result, Manaco is 10 points behind PSG.
Next, Monaco will return to play with full performance. and it seems, the game against Troyes is not a big deal for them to win.

[FanEagle]

I am guessing that PSG being able to dominate whenever they play with full confidence and love for each other is true for all the teams in the league, including Marseille and any other team.

Sometimes they play in a chaotic way that doesn't help the team at all, but this time around it was more like everyone passed to each other and everyone trusted each other and basically played a perfect team football, and when you have such amazing players, stop being selfish for one game and play this well together, there is really rarely any team in the whole world that could stop them. This is why Marseille shouldn't be ashamed of this game, anyone would have lost.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I still wonder if Messi will continue to play at PSG next season. Xavi would be interested in bringing him back to Barcelona. That does not have much consequences for the competition, since they are far above the rest there. I also didn't think they would win so easily at Marseille, where they recently lost in the cup. But it was one way traffic and PSG's goals were gems thanks to the efforts of Messi and Mbappe. Mbappe seems to be completely fit and employable again. Perhaps PSG will spare him a bit in the competition to ensure that he is fit for next week's away game at Bayern Munich.

[Rigon]

PSG has the most star players. In that ratio, PSG can't perform well in some matches. Mbappe is currently fully healthy while Neymar is injured. Neymar may not be able to participate in this PSG match with Brian Munich. I don't think PSG is a good fit without Neymar. PSG must not only win this match but PSG must beat Bayern Munich by at least 2-0. Only then they can survive in the next round. Let's see what success can bring for the next round.

PSG need to win 2-0 against Bayern Munich to progress to the next round. But I don't think PSG's match with Bayern Munich won't be easy. Meanwhile, there is still concern about whether Neymar can play in the match or not. Because Neymar is still injured. Even if this match is a draw, PSG will not be able to go to the next round. With such a tough equation, PSG don't seem to be able to do well with Bayern Munich. However, I also hope that PSG can make it to the next round. Because my favorite player is in PSG.

Marseille needs to be more vigilant in the future, Monaco or Lens can get rid of Marseille from its current position at any time. Marseille's small mistake will lead them to a worse situation this season
Positions two, three and four in the standings are currently only 2 points apart, this is will be even more exciting and I am looking forward to surprises from the three teams before entering the end of the season.

@zuzie indeed PSG has taken a big lead and that should suffice unless they suddenly lose their form, but I doubt that they’ll lose the title now. Furthermore their head coach job isn’t secure yet even if he wins the league title then too he maybe sacked, because all PSG owners care about is winning the champions league hence I’m sure that he’s yet under pressure yet.

[Oneandpure]

PSG have advantage this week after underperformance from rival team between Marseille and AS Monaco failure three points achievement and comfortable on the top standing position eight points behind Marseille in 2nd place and left 10 points between AS Monaco on 3rd position. Next match, PSG against with the team on 13th current standing Nantes and seems not problem for stopping PSG keep get three points and securing first position in Ligue 1 standing.

Marseille up coming next match against Annecy on French Cup quarter final before facing Rennes in Ligue 1 and the third position standing awhile, AS Monaco have away against Troyes, need to win if won't PSG keep managed standing position behind many points left.

Even though in the next match PSG will only play against Nantes, to be honest, because PSG also has to prepare its best squad to play in the second leg in the Champions League. So it seems that playing against Nantes is likely that PSG will not be easy to beat Nantes.

Because it looks like PSG will not play all of their main players in the match against Nantes later. But yes, even so, of course PSG will still be the team that is at the top of the standings in Ligue 1 because after all, PSG has the ability to maintain its top position in the Ligue 1 standings.

I disagree with you, PSG is just 8 points ahead of Marseille and that is not enough to make them champions of France even though they are in good form at the moment. PSG can still lose more than 3 matches before the end of the season and if Marseille improve in their performance and win all their matches, there are chances of them still winning the League ahead of PSG. For the PSG coach, I think what the club needs is the Champions League so even though he needs up winning the League without the Champions League he will be sacked but he has the chance to still be the coach of PSG if wins the League and the Champions League this season.

[Distraction]

It looks like we are going to watch a season very similar to the previous one. PSG have already made the point gap with Marseille eight now.

That match between them was very important for the title race and Marseille just gave up on the match easily. I haven't seen them that much bad for a long time. They couldn't stop the Mbappe - Messi duo in short. After this happened I don't think PSG would let them get near themselves again. They would look for finishing the season as early as possible. While they are doing that we would watch another tough competition between Marseille and Monaco for the 2nd spot. I expect Rennes to finish ahead of Lens also.

They could lose more than 3 matches, but sometimes it looks as if they could also play 3 levels better than last game if they needed to. They have strong 60 minutes during a game and score their goals, they also have fun together, but the only games they fight really hard are those where something serious is on the line. Now it can of course happen that some of them get injured and they can't easily scale up their level, but 8 points in Ligue 1 for PSG is quite a lot. In the EPL I would say that the first could quickly lose two or three games in a row, but in Ligue 1 it is not very likely.

That's true that both teams are playing in the French league and these two should be compared to each other but in fact, the PSG team is worth much more than Marseille and you should not compare the situation of these two teams at all according to transfermarkt PSG worth 889 million while Marseille worth 241 million totally. I guess this eight point gap is completely compared between Marseille and PSG and this can be even much more than eight.

[blue Snow]

It looks like we are going to watch a season very similar to the previous one. PSG have already made the point gap with Marseille eight now.

This match is looks like a real discrepancy between them, PSG is full of star while Marseille is a team that looks like a normal who filling up with ordinary players. So this match also show us if PSG is still there and maybe until the end of session. 8 points is not too far but I think is hard to Marseille to chase them because the realistic is they can try to stay on champions league zone only.

In Ligue 1, with direct matches between competitors, like PSG vs Marseille we will have better view on what team are stronger and deserved to be a champion. PSG dominate the league but they have bigger ambition and task, it's Champions League. Therefore many times they did not spend enough concentration for Ligue 1 and lost points against weak and average clubs.

However, their concentration will be highest when they meet direct competitors and like we saw, they easily won against Marseille. It is a very strong voice and declaration from PSG that in Ligue 1, they are champions if they want to get it.

since the start of the season it has been predicted that PSG will not encounter any obstacles or significant competition to win the title this season and now it is slowly showing up.
look at how the PSG team's squad is very much different compared to other teams, of course this makes the competition unbalanced, even though PSG don't play with their main players, the quality of their coating players is still above the players in other teams.
so I think it's natural for PSG, and right now PSG is still not consistent because they are still divided into focus on the Champions League stage, it is possible that if PSG get knocked out in the UCL again then they will only focus on the league and no one will be able to catch them anymore.

[LUCKMCFLY]

however, Marseille and Other teams have been getting very close to PSG, this has led Ligue 1 to become very good, let's hope it continues with your emotions, although I say, PSG is PSG and when they start to play well it is something else.

PSG like to get under pressure from their player self when lost or draw. The public only wants the winning and they don't want to know if the team lost, or draws, so if happens public will blame the player, and the players got pressured and want to leave the clubs. I think 5 points is still big, Marseille, Monaco and lens it will be difficult to pursue PSG, because performance between them almost the same.

Yes, that's what happened, the public or fans may not know anything about what is being faced in the PSG environment. What's more, they are currently in a not-so-good condition, a lot of speculation has sprung up and they don't often hear rumors about the move of one of their players in the upcoming transfer market. The difference in points with the other teams above might make PSG a little safe but it's clear they have to continue to win if they don't want to overtake the points.

Whatever the reason, I don't see PSG as good, in Ligue 1 there isn't that much of a problem, they have a good advantage, I really don't think they will let themselves be caught, although there are some teams that want to, but can't define the goals well. goals because they lose or tie, and if you want to catch up with PSG you have to win every game, the game that caught my attention was PSG vs Bayern in the UCL, because I saw PSG with everything they had, and it wasn't enough not even to tie, although of course when Mbappé scored the goal I thought they were going to continue doing more, but when a goal is disallowed your motivation goes down, in the same way it is good that these teams know that things are not as easy as before, both in UCL as in Ligue 1.


Here is something that causes controversy and that can leave PSG in a bad light:

Report: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi under investigation for kidnap and torture

The Ligue 1 club's president is being accused of detaining man who allegedly acquired sex tapes and documents in relation to the 2022 World Cup.

The president of Paris Saint-Germain football club, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is facing an investigation in France over allegations of kidnapping and torture. The case relates to a complaint made by Franco-Algerian lobbyist, Tayeb Benabderrahmane, who claims he was detained in Qatar for six months in 2020 because he possessed "sensitive" documents, including a smartphone belonging to Mr Al-Khelaifi, and compromising materials.

It is alleged that Mr Benabderrahmane had documents relating to the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, as well as the awarding of the 2026 and 2030 World Cup TV rights to beIN Media, of which Mr Al-Khelaifi is president. The lobbyist claims he obtained the materials from Mr Al-Khelaifi's butler.

Positions two, three and four in the standings are currently only 2 points apart, this is will be even more exciting and I am looking forward to surprises from the three teams before entering the end of the season.

Marseille is just 2 points ahead of Monaco and Lens. If Marseille loses any of their next matches, they will lose second place in the table. Marseille, Monaco, and Lens all dropped points in the last match. And so we don't see any change in the positions of the teams in the points table. Teams need to be a bit more stable if they want to qualify for the Champions League. However, this season's Ligue 1 is very competitive. Several teams are performing well. And so the teams at the top of the table are consistently failing to pick up points. However, this has made Ligue 1 more competitive.
