Goal - 1:0! Neymar (Paris SG) receives a precise pass inside the box from Kylian Mbappe and he beats the goalkeeper with a neat finish into the bottom right corner.

Mbappe have assisted Neymar to get a goal.
At last he has broken that record that people has been using against him as selfish. This is because he has scored good number of goals without assisting any of his fellow players to get a goal. Today he provided a nice assist to Neymar and I am happy because this could bring back the team spirit among the triple stars in PSG

I don't think that there is an improved "team spirit" at the moment. Neymar and Mbappe were like this in some of the previous games as well. But we have heard about how serious the Mbappe situation have become later. They don't reflect their feelings about this topic too much on the field and this makes us think like things are better. You must have seen the Mbappe - Messi incident also. Mbappe bumped Messi in the shoulder in a match and Messi seemed angry with that attitude right after.

As a result, I don't think that the trio will stay the same by next summer. Mbappe would leave most probably and Messi might also do so in case he gets an offer from Barcelona especially.

With the composition of players like PSG today, I wonder why they were only able to win 1-0 against Marseille, it seems that marseille has memorized the strategy launched by PSG

from what I see actually PSG does not match the 4-3-1-2 formation. Neymar's goal is an assist from mbappe, it looks like this is mbappe's first assist cmiiw

At the other side, Marseille have the same important too because left 3 points behind Lorient and PSG can be the same if success win from PSG tonight, I think most competitive later if Marseille can win from PSG and position until third standing place will have the 26 points.

The gap between PSG and Marseille is just three points. If Marseille can win today's match, the Marseille team will have a chance to go to the top of the table. Some important players like Ramos, Nuno Mendes, and Kimpembe will be missing in today's match. If Marseille plays attacking and manages to score the first goal of the match, they have a chance to earn points.

PSG earned full three points from a hard fought match against Marseille and now with this defeat they are dropped to fourth spot behind Lorient and Lens with gape is widened from three points to six points and now in next match they are going to fight against another big performer of this season Lens which is having poor away form but still this is not going to be easy match for them, they are also already on two losing streaks.

There were good chances for both teams to score goals but sadly both fail to do this, and we have just one goal which is also special as today Mbappé assist to Neymar for doing goal which can end feuds reports which are currently circulating around social media.

Currently, form is good but without any doubt Mbappé attitude is surely creasing feud in this team with most chances if he is going to leave in next transfer window then surely we can expect good change in this team and their performance could be also improved because without him, they still have few quality players which are capable of having better skills, and they can change tables into their favor specially if Mbappé leaves then no other player will leave this club and their results could on positive because his childish behavior is not acceptable for any other top player in any club.

In the early stage of this season Real Madrid were interested into sign him but now as we are watching things are going most chances they could be not taken this chance because their few youngsters already performing amazing, and they can do better without him if he is going to join this club then surely negativity could be happened, and they can lose their momentum.

Don't know if PSG's game has been read or indeed they haven't returned to the way they were before because we know in the previous match they had a bad result against Reims.
But indeed this narrow victory was able to bring them 3 points and of course this is quite good I think.

actually it's not that. in the last 5 games PSG failed to score more than 1 goal, the exception was in the game against nice in which they managed to score 2 goals, PSG's attack is very bad in the last games, they are not managing to score many goals, the Their luck is that their defense is very good, they don't concede many goals, and that's why they are well positioned. if they had a bad defense and were conceding a lot of goals then they would be very bad in the table

It is true that having achieved the 3 points is something very good, but the question here is:

with that way they play where they can't score many goals, will they go far? in the champions league they can be removed if they don't improve.


Nantes 4 - 1 Brest

Nantes was very inspired, they managed to score 4 goals and won very easily

PSG won the game by only 1-0 even there was still quite a lot of time after Marseille got that red card. Messi was able to play after an injury but he didn't score or make an assist. There was a Neymar - Mbappe cooperation which was interesting. Because they have had some problems between each other so far. But it is nice to see this not affecting their individual performances badly in games.

Things have been going bad for Marseille for two weeks. Two losses in two weeks isn't good at all. I can understand the one against PSG but can't as for the Ajaccio game before. They will face Lens home next time which are another tough opponent after PSG. They should prepare very well for this one to end this bad streak.

Lorient failed to overtake Paris Saint Germain at the top of the standings after they failed to get a win after being held to a draw by Reims. It was surprising when they had to achieve this draw with an opponent that is arguably not very strong, in fact they failed to get a win with Reims only playing with 10 men at the start of the second half. Statistically also Reims can match the game from Lorient. I didn't expect this result.

Actually Reims is not too weak and if we look at past results against Reims against Lorient, then you can judge that Reims also has abilities that are not much different from Lorient, although the number of wins in the past is indeed more than Lorient, but on average the average is narrow wins and draws. PSG did an excellent job and was able to win narrowly at home against Marseille. The victory is very important for PSG to continue to add points and make the distance with its competitors in the temporary standings.

The cooperation between Neymar and Mbappe is cool. It is a first assist of Mbappe for other players in this season. It is a good start for him to find real happiness and improve his connections with other players.

Mbappe missed some chances in the match and he has far journey to move closely to the level of Ronaldo Nazario (Brazil). He has good speed and good finishing skills but he relies too much on his speed and his style is easy to be constrained by opponents. Like Riems' defenders, they did not give Mbappe too much space to run and to shot. After all they successfully prevented Mbappe to score a goal.

Actually Reims is not too weak and if we look at past results against Reims against Lorient, then you can judge that Reims also has abilities that are not much different from Lorient, although the number of wins in the past is indeed more than Lorient, but on average the average is narrow wins and draws. PSG did an excellent job and was able to win narrowly at home against Marseille. The victory is very important for PSG to continue to add points and make the distance with its competitors in the temporary standings.

PSG are trying to get more points and in the same time, they also try to avoid injuries for their players. They want to avoid injuries before and after the World Cup too. Because after the World Cup, they will have important time in Champions Leauge that is their biggest wanted trophy in this season.

The victory against Reims is another brick for PSG to complete Ligue 1 as earliest as possible in order to reserve most of their resources for Champions League.

The best part of the match against Marseille was the cooperation we have demanded for a long time. It was a Kylian Mbappe and Neymar combination that scored the only goal in Ligue 1 against Marseille.

Neymar has been improving over time, I must say. Obviously, Neymar will perform with Messi around. Neither injuries nor reckless behavior will be tolerated. It has been a while since we have seen him at his best since he left Barca, let's hope he avoids injury. Several good chances were created by Messi in the game, but most of the time the ball was passed away from him. Therefore, things should improve.

We got a chance to enjoy a competitive match. Marseille players tried their best to earn points in this match. But because of Donnarumma's excellent performance, Marseille's players were unable to score. Marseille proved with their performance in this match that they will continue to fight PSG for the title until the end of the season.

Mbappe did not score in this match. But his performance was excellent. He made an assist to Neymar. So has Neymar and Mbappe's conflict been resolved? Mbappe was very effective throughout the match. He made a total of 7 shots in this match. If Messi, Neymar, and Mbape can continue this form then they will do well in both Ligue 16 and the Champions League.

[Docnaster]

If Mbappe, Neymar and Messi will continue to work together as they did last night, psg will go very far in champions league. Mbappe played excellent football and I must confess that Neymar is a machine. That guy is in another world of football, every of his moves gives me joy and makes me love football the more. The entertainment and the zeal he puts in football is much. I love Neymar

I'm not going to talk about something that is really difficult for them to do
PSG is a big club but only limited to Ligue 1 because indeed for the Champions League it is clearly different because even if they have a good squad and can be said to have big names but for the Champions League this doesn't mean they can compete well as long as they can't play with good teamwork.

The only PSG goal was scored by Neymar thanks to an assist from Kylian Mbappe, this victory at the same time dismissed the situation that had previously heated up. with this result, PSG widened the difference in points with Lorient who finished second with 26 points.
overall PSG played very solidly, Messi contributed a very crucial role in orchestrating the team's attack. as well as Mbappe, he played very well and dispelled the negative rumors that always linked him.
Mbappe actually has a chance to score, because he is in a shooting position. but he chose to pass to Neymar, the goal was scored. with that he replied, that he too could play professionally.

I agree with your opinion. Mbappe gave a very good response to the criticism of selfishness this week. I think everyone agrees on this. He was really in great harmony with Messi and Neymar. If this harmony continues, they will not lose the French League championship to anyone. Maybe they can also become Champions League champions. We're talking about one of the best offensive lines in the world. Such a result would not be a surprise for them and for us. PSG will remain an undefeated team if Christophe Galtier continues to manage to keep this successful offensive line in harmony.

[hahay]

Marseille is still not strong enough at least to hold PSG to a draw, because Ligue 1 belongs to PSG because so far only PSG are unbeaten. But even though PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1, PSG is still not easy to beat its opponents, at least it is evident from the wins that PSG do not always win with a wide gap. Therefore, maybe that is also one of the obstacles that PSG are not too favorites for the Champions League title but apart from that, PSG is still a strong team that must be watched out for in the Champions League as well.

In terms of appearance, I see it is a fairly balanced performance between the two teams. However, with the red card obtained by Marseille making it difficult for them at the end of the second half to be able to equalize. There is no significant difference between the two teams, so I can say that they still have hope to break the dominance of Paris Saint-Germain. Yes I know it's very difficult but this season is a weakness that Paris Saint-Germain can take advantage of.

Psg have been getting the points they need to stay on top of the Ligue 1, but if you watch their games for the whole 90 minutes you'll know that they have not been playing at their best and their three main superstars are not yet working very effectively together, and i am not saying it because they are not winning by a wide gap, but because they are not even creating too many clear chances, and despite the fact they have three very good attacking players, their opponents find it easy to contain them. I don't think they will win the champions league, but i know they will go far.

I think the main reason that psg are not that dominant is because only their attack trio messi, neymar and mbappe that are on a great shape we didn't see their midfielders or defenders shine so far this season we basically only see their forward trio i think other players should step their game up if they want to win the champions league.
