French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[shogun47]

talking about Messi, Still, none knows about his next destination for the next season and during this time until the end of this season everything is possible because Messi can go back to Barcelona where he started playing as a professional career and get retired as a legend or he can choose money and got to Suaid League to race with Ronaldo and earn money, but still, we are sure that Messi will not stay in PSG and they have to find another player to replace with him.

Now when talking about Messi there is news that at this time he does not want to be associated with the Arab league first and that was said by Messi's father who did say that there had not been any decision regarding Messi and the Arab league.
On the other hand, at this time Messi is also said to have had his sentence cut because previously he was not allowed to play because of his mistake but now it seems that it has been lightened and he can immediately return to playing even though regarding another penalty he has to pay 1.6 million euros but still exists but 2 week ban seems to have been lifted now.

When I remember this correctly I think that Messi's father never really was a source of true information in the past. He knows how to spread rumors and keep the media busy such that all clubs think they have to already start to give their offers and increase them step by step. Even if it is true today what Messi's father said, it doesn't have to be true tomorrow. It is all just a question of whatever hits his email inbox and everything could change.

The will certainly not announce anything before the season ended. Leaks can always happen, but they would rather deny the truth for a while and confirm it at whatever point in time they deem best.

This is like a wild ball in my opinion, yes, we know that one of the people closest to him is his own family, and I think it's not without reason that Messi's father said something about his son. They must have planned this so that the news would heat up more and the puzzles about Messi's new club would make more speculation or even matchology. lol
Until now I have not heard an official statement from Messi aside from a few rebuttals that can still be questioned. What is certain now is that Messi's departure from Paris Saint Germain is very likely given the current situation.

Even though there was a lot of talk about Messi's move to the Middle East team, it seems that Messi's father has confirmed the fake news and denied all speculation or news that has been circulating. I think even Messi is currently in a state of indecision to determine his future at which club and even though he is currently still with PSG I don't see him as someone who is happy and like someone who is always under pressure. We will still wait for the development of Messi's situation with PSG until the end of the season and after that we will definitely all get the answer, Messi's main focus at the moment is to win the Ligue 1 title with PSG.

[rahmad2nd]

The team Messi is in talks with is Al-Hilal, noıt Ittihad, that would have been a bit different. Ittihad is already above Al-Nasr right now, and getting Messi on top of that would have made them so much better as well and it would have been an amazing competition. Now Messi would be required to be in the team that is 4th, and 8 points behind Al-Nasr and take them to the top, that is possible but not that easy.

Basically what it asks is the question of; would Messi won 3 games they lost all by him being there? And I feel like that's a no, because a single player doesn't make that much difference as we have seen with Ronaldo as well. I think it would have been better if he was at Ittihad so he could start at a good ground from the start at least.

Did I miss the news.

I just read that Fabrizio Romano said in his tweet, there is no change in Leo Messi's situation. a decision will be made at the end of the season. another tweet, Al Hilal, has been on the table since april while Barcelona remains adamant to find a way with financial fair play. plus, Jorge Messi's official statement. absolutely nothing has been agreed with any club for next season, we will decide at the end of the season. nothing has been signed, approved or approved verbally. all this is just fake news in the name of Leo, reported by Fabrizio Romano on his Twitter.

Speaking of the Saudi Pro League, if, Messi is really willing to play with Al Hilal, then that is the most appropriate choice, if you want to know, Al Hilal is a giant club that always dominates the Saudi Pro League trophy, it's just that this season, they are experiencing a decline in performance with a very busy match schedule. by the way, this season is not over yet, even Messi is still wearing the PSG jersey until his contract ends. before he decides to leave and choose the club of his choice later, he will finish his tenure with PSG and make sure  won the league trophy.

[hahay]

There are only four matches remaining and of course, it will not make PSG lose points because in reality, PSG also only gets opponents who on paper at least can still be beaten by PSG. So yes, whatever the situation and conditions PSG are experiencing at this moment, I remain confident that this will not make PSG a sick team by failing to win the Ligue 1 title this season.

After all, this Ligue 1 title is the only hope for PSG to win a trophy this season. So yes, whether or not Messi is in the PSG squad, I personally will remain confident that PSG can overcome the problems that occur. Considering they are debating about Messi's attitude and performance at PSG, to link him to PSG's failure in the Champions League. Of course, this is a very unfortunate assessment because in that way, Messi looks like the source of PSG's problems for the failures he has experienced this season.

[Docnaster]

Actually I don't think this has any impact on his future at PSG because regardless of his condition going back to training and apologizing beforehand it won't be any guarantee for next season in fact I'm still pretty sure he will leave in fact.
He is training because indeed it is his obligation now considering he still has the rest of his contract for PSG.

About Messi who has been very viral with today's news is something that needs to be seen and paid attention to because almost the whole world has read that Messi has come to Saudi Arabia for a deal so as to make PSG unhappy and punish Messi for the rest of the season. And I think Messi only made a small mistake at this time so there was no need to be given a harsh punishment because PSG in general still really need the best players like Messi, but I don't know what Messi was thinking so he was tempted to go to Saudi Arabia.

talking about Messi, Still, none knows about his next destination for the next season and during this time until the end of this season everything is possible because Messi can go back to Barcelona where he started playing a professional career and get retired as a legend or he can choose money and got to Suaid League to race with Ronaldo and earn money, but still, we are sure that Messi will not stay in PSG and they have to find another player to replace with him.

Messi isn't a noise kind of personality, He may end up renewing his contract in PSG in the slightest minutes.
Messi is old and needs to play in a club where he offers little input and others do the rest. Rumours of him returning to Barcelona is so alarming such that Messi's dad had to address his fans which he said Messi is still dedicated to PSG and will be making his decision only at season's end. With this, I'm no more perturbed about Messi's exit from France league. All we know is that Mess will be fine in any club he desires joining.

In fact, news about the interest of one of the Arab League clubs in Messi has been heard for a long time, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr. And interestingly those who are interested in signing Messi are Al Hilal, namely the club that is a competitor or rival of Al Nassr. They seem to want to bring together these two star players to compete again with a different atmosphere. Yes, of course it will be different, because if that materializes they will compete from Europe to Asia with clubs who are also their main rivals in the Arab League.

[FanEagle]

Between Neymar and Messi potentially leaving, PSG really needs to start considering who they are going to replace those players with, that's the key point. I understand that those players leaving are a big news, but who will replace them may become even bigger news. Imagine PSG getting players like Mo Salah and Sane together somehow, it is not unheard of, they are incredibly wealthy and they could totally do that. Or they could maybe get a great striker and put Mbappe to left wing like he used to be.

All of these are possibly their future, and they are rich enough to do these and I think it would be incredible to see something like that from them. They will need something like that anyway, so doing it wouldn't be really a shock, they have to, so they may.

[Distraction]

Marseille continue to throw their chances for the second spot. After they lost to Lens they have lost this spot to them once again. Lens defeated them in both league matches this season so I think this is a proof that they are better than them now. It still depends on maintaining this consistency in the remaining matches of course. Maybe Lens are better in head-to-heads but we will see if they can keep this advantage.

Openda is a great goal source for Lens this season. He has scored 19 goals so far which is pretty impressive. His high effort has helped them become productive nearly as much as Marseille in the league. Marseille technically have a more capable squad in hand on paper but they still can't show this in the league against them.

I still think both team deserve to join the CL groups directly after seeing their general effort so far.

I would actually say that it is PSG who failed Messi. The performance of Lionel Messi in PSG was actually not that bad in my opinion. A main problem for PSG fans was that they saw Lionel Messi working a good amount of time on the pitch. But they do not try to understand that if he keeps running almost always he is not going to last the whole 90 minutes.

Anyway, I do not believe that Lionel Messi is staying in PSG. PSG is certainly going to be 13 which will always be very interested in the Champions League and a lot of other trophies but in the end, they will only have to be satisfied with having the Ligue 1 title.

Leo Messi is an undisputed goat and an idol to so many players out there. He's phenomenal in his pattern of game and also a knows when to strike and give crucial passes. PSG don't know what they're missing, the fans booeing the Argentina international in games, ofcourse he's not God that we expect him to match up statistics in all games. Messi will leave at the end of the summer, there's no doubt about that, afterall he has given some signs about exiting PSG, let's watch and see what will happen at the end of the summer.

Marseille had a good chance to even be the first team in the league but they miss all the chances they had during this season and now they have to race with Lens for the second place in the league while in the next game, Marseille should face Angers which is another chance for them to take the full three points and hope for Lens to lose points.

But there is something that keeps me thinking the transfer will actually happen to Al-Hilal. What is happening right now is no coincidence with Ronaldo transferring there and now Messi, but to another club. It would be the exact thing that the Saudis want. They are the ones to make happen what the whole world wanted to see one more time: Ronaldo vs. Messi. I am sure that the TV viewing rates would go through the roof around the globe, all eyes on the game in Saudi Arabia. Both Ronaldo and Messi are ambassadors for Saudi Arabia and in 2030, an application as the hosts will be handed in for the World Cup to take place in Saudi Arabia. They are going to make it happen no matter what.

Until now I have not heard an official statement from Messi aside from a few rebuttals that can still be questioned. What is certain now is that Messi's departure from Paris Saint Germain is very likely given the current situation.

We have to think about it this way: if messi really was going to leave PSG then why would messi have come to the public to apologize for his behavior in relation to the trip he took in saudi arabia? think... because messi's father promptly denied that there is no verbal or written agreement about messi going to play for a team in saudi arabia, it is obvious that what is happening here is the following: messi wants to stay at PSG but he doesn't want to earn less than Mbappe and probably want some guarantee that the team will have a solid project in relation to winning European competitions, so PSG and Messi are in a kind of fight in which PSG is seeing how they can give in until messi agrees

meanwhile messi is in standby mode, but it's not a mode where messi is looking for another team, messi still wants to play for wins, if he was really interested in wanting to play in saudi arabia he would have already said that, in this At the moment, there's nothing that would stop him from saying: "Next season I'm going to play in Saudi Arabia.... " Why doesn't he do that now? the answer is obvious: he doesn't do that now because he has no interest in playing in saudi arabia, i really believe that if he doesn't play for PSG then he could go to barcelona, but he has to create conditions for him to return to barcelona, i'm always talking about that, the arabs have a lot of money, but they don't know how to play soccer, there's no point in going to play in saudi arabia, it's another culture and laws based on religion

We are sure that Messi can't stay in PSG for another season because there is a bad and negative atmosphere against this player and the fans are unhappy about him, there are two possible destinations for this player we usually see in the news, the Arabian teams or Barcelona but I think Messi will choose the first option for next season.

That is the most likely in my opinion as well. He is still the top scorer in Ligue 1 in terms of goals and assists, but I also have no idea what the plan for PSG is for Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Is he im despair now, giving up on his Champions League dream or will he keep pumping hundreds of millions into PSG in the hope to eventually win that trophy? Now that he had Neymar, Messi and Mbappe on his team, what is he going to do next? This is probably frustrating for him and the project somehow loses relevance over time as well if the big success remains unachieved.

[snipie]

I still think both team deserve to join the CL groups directly after seeing their general effort so far.

The quality of teams in French Ligue 1 aren't that top comparing to the other major leagues, that's why they only have two spots to fill for Champions League. Well technically French teams have only one spot to fill since PSG always pick the first one
Lens did pretty good to reach the top ranks and the second one for quite long time hovering around with Marseille which is classically a good team. I agree both deserve to qualify even though I doubt they could go far in Champions League.

I think Nasser Al-Khelaifi has realized his mistake. It has been proved that money alone cannot win the Champions League title. PSG spent an incredible amount to build their team. But their performance was still poor.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi should now look for an experienced coach. And then giving the coach full freedom to build the team. And indeed large funds must be provided. If Nasser Al-Khelaifi gets a coach like Zidane for his club then I think the PSG team will be able to win the title. Unless the coach is experienced, I don't see a chance for PSG to do well in the Champions League.

Marseille had a good chance to even be the first team in the league but they miss all the chances they had during this season and now they have to race with Lens for the second place in the league while in the next game, Marseille should face Angers which is another chance for them to take the full three points and hope for Lens to lose points.

The battle for second place in the Ligue1 standings is still very interesting to watch because Marseille and Lens have a very close point gap and in the next match it will be a little easier for Marseille to take full points because they will face the weakest team in Ligue1 this season so that Marseille's chance to get full points is huge. Although on the other hand Lens will also face a team that is not so strong in the next match in the remainder of the season so it will be very interesting if one of them cannot win in the next match.

The point difference between Marseille and Lens is only 2. If Marseille had not lost against Lens in the last match, second place in the table would have been occupied by Marseille. The lens is now in very good shape. This team is consistently performing well in every match. Lens' opponents in the last four matches are Reims, Lorient, Ajaccio and Auxxere. Reims and Lorient are strong enough teams. Lens has the possibility of losing points in these two matches. If Lens can win these two matches then I would say second place in the table will be occupied by Lens.

Marseille has a match against Lille. The Lille team is one of the top teams in Ligue 1. Very strong team Lille. And so it is not easy for Marseille to win all the upcoming matches. Even Marseille's defeat against Lille is more likely.
