French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Velvet78]

So far PSG have started the season perfectly, 10 goals in 2 match is a really good statistic.
Many people think that PSG's goal productivity this season will decrease greatly when they are left behind by Kylian Mbappe, but in fact this is not true. If PSG can maintain this kind of performance in Ligue 1, then they will retain the Ligue 1 title this season.

Now, do you really believe PSG can qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League when they are drawn against the following teams?

Home: Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, PSV Eindhoven and Girona.
Away: Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Salzburg and Stuttgart.

Yeah honestly I wasn't expecting PSG to be this amazing after Mbappe left the team. But I was missing a point. Relying on a specific player is mostly a bad thing. It prevents a good teamwork at a high rate.    Since he left, the team have been destroying every single opponent they face. Of course there is still a big quality gap between them and the rest of the Ligue 1 teams. But the way they play is very promising.

Now when it comes to the Champions League... Their fixture is quite tough. However I still expect last 16 from PSG. Because they will probably play way better than Mbappe era.

Losing 1 player (even if he's important) will not reduce the overall performance of the team, that's what we saw with PSG and Barcelona in the past when their MSN trio left the team. The strong tradition of winning Ligue 1 is held by PSG, it will be difficult to replace considering that the owner of PSG makes football one of the industries he's serious about, their next match is against Lille, Lille is currently in 2nd place in the standings, there's no doubt that PSG will win that match though playing away.

Yes, I do. In fact, I still believe they can go to the quarter-finals, semi-finals and even the final, I just can't believe that PSG won the UCL .

It is too early for us to say that the loss of Mbappe does not have a big influence on PSG, indeed in the last two matches PSG was able to win with an absolute score over its opponents but we also do not deny that teams like le havre and montpellier are not strong teams that have been able to make it difficult for PSG so far, in my opinion the sharpness shown by PSG in the two matches is none other than due to the weak defense owned by the opposing team and I'm quite sure that PSG may have a very difficult time if they face a team that has a solid defense later, indeed so far we cannot rule out that PSG is the only team that has a great chance to win Ligue 1 but I really hope that there will be a team that at least will be able to make it difficult for PSG to win Ligue 1 this season.

In ligue 1 of course we cannot doubt the capacity possessed by PSG to become champions, but in the champions league of course we cannot expect much from them at the moment, in the draw that was carried out yesterday PSG has joined a strong European team in the league phase, I think PSG journey is currently very difficult and it may even be difficult for them to be able to qualify for the next round if they have to face a team like Manchester City, Atlético Madrid, PSV Eindhoven, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, maybe only Salzburg, Girona and Stuttgart can be easy opponents for them.

Since the beginning I predicted that there would be 2 possibilities that Paris Saint Germain would experience after their valuable players left, the first is that they will slump because they are not used to playing without star players and the second is that they will be better because they can maximize teamwork, and that's what we see at least until the 2nd week. They can actually show something better than before. However, they still have a bigger job, namely they must be able to maintain the consistency of the game that they managed to show at the beginning, because if not they will decline. Also they must prepare to play in the Champions League. In terms of challenges, the Champions League will be more challenging for them, because there will be many strong teams they will face.

I look at Real Madrid and they are far from the performance expected from Mbappé. There were also matches in Paris Saint-Germain during Mbappé's term where performances were far from expectations. I wonder if Mbappé thinks more about himself than the team. Paris Saint-Germain is by far the highest quality team in the French League right now. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has only collected five points in the Spanish league and Mbappé has not contributed anything. I think these are in Mbappé's destiny. Paris Saint-Germain may reach the finals of the Champions League this year, how do we know?
