French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Fakhrulenclix]

Many of the best moments were created in PSG's last match this season

Mbappe stays until 2025
The end of Di Maria's contribution to PSG (I wish you success with Juve, di maria. You are a great player)
Messi is starting to return with sharp assists for his teammates
Neymar scores a goal at the end of the season (this is necessary, especially with Neymar's state of affairs this season)

Then what is the response from Madrid regarding Mbappe's new contract? I'm sure it won't be fun. because we have heard the news of Madrid's interest in almost agreeing to the arrival of Mbappe. and it says there are conditions that Mbappe asks from the club before the two make new contracts.
Di Maria will probably get a good place and opportunity at Juve. as for Neimar, I think he has to improve his lifestyle and be more disciplined to be able to compete with other players.

Mbappe has definitely renewed his contract with PSG until 2025, Real Madrid's response is of course very disappointed. even Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez openly expressed his disappointment with Mbappe, who he said had betrayed him.
but that way, Mbappe's stay at PSG will make PSG next season very strong again, because Mbappe's contribution to PSG is very large.
PSG have been superior this season, but unfortunately they have not been lucky in the UCL. I believe next season PSG will come back stronger, and of course will be very dominant in the French League.

Di Maria will probably get a good place and opportunity at Juve. as for Neimar, I think he has to improve his lifestyle and be more disciplined to be able to compete with other players.

Di Maria is one of the most undervalued players in this generation of Arghentina. He has a very complicated career since the day he left Benfica to join Real Madrid. In the end of his career, I wish Di Maria best thing. Kun Aguero already retired.

Actually he is a pretty good player and indeed he has had very good skills in midfield for the teams he has played for before but there were some problems towards the end of the season he was running and he was always replaced with newer and more prominent players.

The opportunity at Juventus is of course quite good in my opinion because if it was forced at PSG this would be something the same as happened at Real Madrid and MU

Olympique Marsilya took advantage of Monaco's mistake and got the champions league ticket. I think they deserved to go to the champions league because of the quality of their players. But Cengiz Ünder's situation remains unclear. He has played with 9 goals and 2 assists this season. Olympique Marsilya could lose him to Paris Saint-Germain FC. They should be quick.

So how many of your regulars here support PSG and who supports other teams?

Mbappe will stay.

Not announced yet but once it goes to breaking news like this, you don't see it being retracted. 3 year contract, he's supposedly even already informed RM prez and Poch. No surprise, he gets paid more than what Real would have offered. Kind of makes me rethink my view of the guy. Still like him but honestly thought he'd go and get a new challenge while still so young. Real will be heartbroken.

I saw Romano's tweets on social media and it's almost 100 per cent likely he will stay now.
Actually in this case I still want to see him in the Madrid shirt now but indeed he seems to have decided to stay in France and this could be very good for PSG because they don't have to bother now to find a replacement for their top scorer next season

All done now, do I get special bonus prizes for breaking it here early while everyone was adamant Mbappe was gone? Took me by surprise too, honestly, and as I already said, personally disappointed such a young talent won't go further to grow. But hey, doesn't make me think less of him as a player, maybe PSG meet Liverpool in the next few UCL finals eh?

Anyway, 3-year deal, paid much more than what Real Madrid offered, so the Spanish giants are enraged. Even claim PSG actually can't afford it and are going deep in the red to make this package.

It really hurts to see players who have been interested in him for several seasons but in the end they are still rejected and prefer to extend his contract at PSG.
At least Madrid now have to find a striker for his presidential solace and also make regeneration for Benzema.

But indeed this is a big advantage for PSG because apart from the safety of their goal productivity next season they also don't need to look for a striker there at this time.

Honestly, all I am interested in is whether PSG will be able to win the Champions League this time because they still have a very good squad and it is very doable. but I believe there need to be some changes in the PSG squad because only having a good enough attack is not going to win them the Champions League Trophy. Mbappe was surely offered a shitload of money otherwise he wouldn't have stayed.

What would be the differences between PSG this season and in the next season? They have the same squad except Di Maria, and Pochettino will be replaced.
They need to figure out a new winning strategy that will make the team profit the most from its stars who turned to be useless in many games. New signings? Not sure if they really need to spend more money in players, I would instead prefer to see Zidane as a coach so we can give hope for CL title for PSG next season.

Not much will change about the team. Maybe a few players will join or leave, but in all cases this PSG team will easily win the competition again. The fact that PSG did not win last year was an outlier. That will not happen again in the next 10 years. They must be happy that Mbappe has decided to stay at PSG. Especially to try to win the CL at last.

Both marseille and monaco deserve to play in the champions league in my opinion but their performance is a bit lacking i don't think they will make it far in the champions league they need some improvements their defense is really weak i think thats the main concern not to mention they need a good striker since milik performance is disapointing only 7 goals for a team who ended up in the second position is a really weak stat.

They were on completely different Levels.
They weren't even given the slightest breath in this match.
PSG on the other hand are really top notch, the last Hatrick of the season for Mbappe was absolutely incredible and indeed in this match whether or not there was a red card for Metz it didn't really matter they were completely crushed to be in the relegation zone position with Bordeaux in this season

The PSG vs Metz match is very easy to predict, it is not surprising that PSG can finally beat Metz with a large enough score. Besides Metz being
in the relegation zone, then Metz also played with only 10 players since 58 minutes. So it is certain that Metz will not be able to provide any
resistance against PSG, so PSG finished the last game in Ligue 1 very well. Moreover, PSG is now getting other good news that Kylian Mbappe
finally extended his contract with PSG. This makes PSG increasingly confident that they will be able to perform better next season.

As I said before, the presence or absence of a red card there doesn't have any impact because even when they were playing with 11 men they had already lost 4-0.
This is indeed quite easy to pass with Mbappe there. on the other hand now they are off and have to prepare something new for next season.
Apart from the actual coach, PSG doesn't need anything that needs to be overhauled, in fact, it's just a matter of adding a few midfielders and defenders to fill in the blanks.

Metz has a different level to PSG, so even playing with 11 players they can't possibly make it difficult for PSG. Even as you said, PSG actually
scored 4 goals before Metz got a red card. It means that PSG is too easy to beat Metz, even though PSG are lucky enough to only score one goal
after Metz got a red card. Maybe because the PSG players are quite satisfied with the number of goals they have created, so it's not too ambitious
to score as many goals as Metz gets a red card in 58 minutes. Finally the Ligue 1 competition ended, so we will look forward to how PSG will
perform next season. Maybe in the near future it is very interesting to see the movement of PSG in the transfer market, we will see which other
star players PSG will bring in. Because Mbappe has extended his contract with PSG, it looks like PSG will concentrate on strengthening their
midfield and back line.

No one can normally take the showdown with PSG. The last matches in the competition were of a somewhat lower level, but that seems to be mainly the result of a championship that had already been won and a long season too. PSG can be beaten occasionally in the competition, but they often win the other matches easily and the competition just doesn't succeed. That is the difference.

what happens in france and germany is something bad, there is no competition, in france PSG is simply undefeatable in the matter of being the winner of the championship, the same has happened in the bundesliga. for example:

If I ask everyone who do you think will be next season's Ligue 1 champions? everyone will have no doubts that it will be PSG, so everyone will just be betting on the games of the other teams and also on some PSG games but no one will have expectations about who will be the champion because everyone already knows that PSG will be champions even before the championship itself starts

That's so treu, especially in Germany there is no competition at all and the club who will be able to take the bundesliga title from bayern will really make history and somthing really big in football, Dortmund are the only club that can do it in my opinion and im really looking forward for it

Yes, it is very bad when the same club wins the championship year after year, when there is no real competition. If you just try to artificially limit the budgets of clubs, then clubs will be uncompetitive in the international arena, so other solutions are needed. Maybe it's just that the political and football authorities of the country should make more efforts so that other clubs can find other rich investors, like investors from Qatar in the case of Paris Saint-Germain. And without such strong funding, it is difficult to expect that a worthy competitor will appear who will be able to impose the fight of Paris Saint-Germain for the title of champion, yet the level of PSG players is too strong to concede to anyone at such a long distance as the championship.

That's right, it does even look like the championship thing is in the hands of even before the league restarts.
But indeed things like this may be very difficult to change, because there is no club that can make the league more attractive because it has lost in terms of financial and player strength, so it is very natural that there is no one who can be used as a rival there.
Maybe in this case the Bundesliga is still Dortmund and in Ligue 1 there is still Marseille which is still called Rivalry but again this becomes tasteless

Maybe not really competitive on Ligue 1 make several investor not interested become new owner for Ligue 1 club and make different budget money transfer with PSG, actually after Mbappe extended new contract with PSG until 2025 make different player values between Ligue 1 club with PSG. Next season I think keep the same and only Paris Saint Germain as club favorite for winning Ligue 1 with the same player composition, keep have Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar as forward for PSG and they can easy how to get Ligue 1 tittle for next season.

Ligue 1 is a very exciting league. We know which team will be the champion before the start of the season. If the clubs get a new investor, then maybe they can strengthen themselves. The performance of teams like Marseille and Monaco is good enough. But they are not a consistent team like PSG. Clubs will be able to add star players to their squads if they find new investors and will be able to fight for the title.

Paris SG played really good matches to finish this year as champions. But their main goal was the UCL trophy. I think they are sad to lose this. Let's see what kind of squad they will play next year. Paris SG will dominate Ligue 1 just as Bayern Munich has dominated the Bundesliga.

[judas]

It was a really unfortunate end for Monaco in this season. The owner of the second position in the standings were going to be decided by the final games. And Monaco were really close to securing this position in their game against Lens as well. They led the game 2-1 until the last moments but literally the last-minute goal by Lens devastated Monaco by scoring the equalizer. As Monaco didn't win, they had to end the season at the third position. Marseille are joining the CL groups directly now. But I think they also deserved to have this position considering their general performance.
