French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[CageMabok]

Mbappe is an important player at PSG because PSG is also a team based in France, I see the French president pampered Mbappe too much and made him a golden boy. now each of the players competing in the world cup, be it messi or mbappe, have returned to their respective places, it's been a great journey in the world cup, and not until a month, ligue 1 starts again, i'm sure PSG will continue to maintain their dominance they are in ligue 1.

PSG's dominance in Ligue1 is still there and will continue to shine as long as there are still the best players in PSG like the two players you mentioned and even this year Mbappe has been named the top scorer in the world cup so that will obviously make PSG very happy. Because they have players like Mbappe, it's only natural that the French president spoils Mbappe too much after seeing the achievements Mbappe has made for France and PSG.

Respect for Kylian Mbappe and congratulations for Lionel Messi. We forgot for a moment about the world cup which ended last night, now is the time to focus back on the hunt for the Ligue 1 title. Here PSG will compete against Strasbourg on December 29, it is likely that Mbappe and Messi will not fill PSG's starter line up because they may still be tired after participating in the 2022 world cup. As hosts it seems they don't need to worry about this match, with the full support of their fans they will definitely win, especially in the last 5 matches PSG have always won.

I don't think it's too much of a problem if they don't fill the line-up in this match either.
Last season Strasbourg played very well but for this season they still have a lot of gaps so I think even if Mbappe and Messi are not there the final result will not change too much because PSG are still the favorites in this match.

The World Cup was too fascinating and fantastic to the extent that we forgot about the league cups. In fact the World Cup is the apex of all cups in the whole world and it is the league of the big boys. We saw how the three Power Rangers in PSG was able to fair in the World Cup. It was sad that the Brazilian samba professional Neymar left earlier and the final saw the young machine -Mbappe versus the Old Messi. All the memory is fresh on my mind I think their performance will bring more eyes into the ligue one this season.
Psg will beat Strasbourg even if Messi and Mbappe may not be able to rejoin the team before then.

Mbappe is returning to PSG's games again by a disappointing result in the World Cup. He made a really huge effort and satisfied the expectations for sure. But they could have won the cup as well if they were able to play better as a team. I hope this result won't affect his performance at PSG badly for some time. Because this was a meaningful tournament for him as well just as it was for Messi.

France missed a big chance of winning the World Cup two times in a row and being the third team to make it in World Cup history. Messi would return with a big motivation of course which is good for PSG of course.

If there's one thing that I have no doubt about, it's that Mbappe will come back very well and play very well for PSG, because despite Franca having lost, he was the highlight of the team, so Mbappe will even come back with more confidence than before, The team itself lost, but individually he performed well, he scored many goals in the game, he had all the attention of the press, I don't see why he would come back depressed knowing that he loves being the center of attention.

another important point is that PSG doesn't even have an opponent in the league, for them to just enter the field and they already know they're going to win, so they don't even have many headaches in the league, their biggest problem is in the champions league, and that I believe that mbappe would be more interested in winning, because that's the only way they could start chasing the success of messi and ronaldo, without winning the champions league it's very difficult to be at the top as a player and he knows that

Because this was a meaningful tournament for him as well just as it was for Messi.

Mbappe played very bad in about first 70 minutes but he suddenly scored two goals for France. Starting by a mistake of Otamendi, Mbappe scored 1 then 2 goal to bring France back to the match. Later he scored another third goal, another equalizer for France. In the final, France made lot of challenge and fear for Argentina after Deschamps sent some strong and fast players in like Marcus Thuram, Kolo Muani, Kingsley Coman, Camavinga.
I felt Argentina should lose that match because their coach, Scaloni was very late with substitutions and before two appearances of Lautaro Martinez and Paolo Dybala, Argentina were mostly at verge of failure with big pressure from France. A substitution of Marcos Acuna for Angel Di Maria is a failed one too.

France missed a big chance of winning the World Cup two times in a row and being the third team to make it in World Cup history. Messi would return with a big motivation of course which is good for PSG of course.

France lost a chance to be a first team can protect their trophy after Brazil many years ago. Mbappe will return to PSG with bad mood and relationship with Messi and Neymar. Neymar congratulated Messi but did not show anything for Mbappe.
Will PSG be able to win Champions League with internal conflict of their biggest attacking players?

There was a possibility that Kylian Mbappe could have won France the World Cup on his own, but he fell just short of doing so. It was in 1966 that the last hattrick was scored in a World Cup final. Therefore, seeing him score a hattrick in the finals of this year's World Cup is a big deal for me.

Also if I am not wrong he has already scored 11 goals in only two World Cup's which means he is not so far away from breaking Miroslav Klose's 16 goals record. I think he is going to be really disappointed but life moves on and Argentina are now world champions.

His hat-trick in the world cup final is not a huge success because it includes penalties and in the match where he did not do much, he evaluated the offer of the defenders who lacked IQ, although, the man was very calm. There are the British and the French, who cannot make use of these treats and will miss it when they look at their faces. The other players' faces fall after the second penalty missed in the world cup final. look at mbappe, he goes to comfort his friend and applauds. 24 years old, but calm like a brother, like a father. In a very good way. In my opinion, after last night, there will be no problem between them in the PSG, in Ligue 1 or CL or anywhere else. These big footballers will not be affected by these tournaments permanently. I am sure they will perform better than ever for PSG.

At least, with his hat trick. making Mbappe the top scorer in this world cup championship. obviously this is quite an achievement for him, at such a relatively young age. although 2 of his 3 goals, which he scored from the penalty spot. with that result, forced Argentina inevitably entered into a penalty shoot-out. France's defeat against Argentina was not so embarrassing because after all, Didier Descamps' men had fought as hard as they could and appeared all out. the world cup has ended, Mbappe and Messi will return to training with the whole team.

PSG has a busy schedule, both for Ligue 1 as well as the Champions League. these two stars will focus on the league competition, they have quite a tough match against Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Galtier will focus on his team, to achieve the mission of the champions league trophy.

It is their financial ability that makes Paris Saint Germain very strong in Ligue 1. They don't think much when it comes to signing star players they don't even hesitate to spend a lot of money to get those players. Regarding Mbappe, yes, maybe he was a little over the top when he gave him very special treatment, that also made it a little difficult for him to control himself because he realized he was special. But it must be admitted that what he showed with his national team was extraordinary.
I also think that Paris Saint Germain's dominance will be very difficult to stop, unless there is a club that has the ability like Paris Saint Germain, especially in finance.

Mbappe is very important for PSG. Because he is only 23 years old. On the other hand, Messi, Ramos or Neymar are great players. But they are quite old. They will not be able to serve the team for a long time. Messi is 34 years old. He is likely to leave PSG next season. Neymar on the other hand is a great player but his fitness is not good. And so Mbappe is now the most important player for PSG. Also Mbappe's performance in this World Cup is really impressive. If Messi, Neymar and Mbappe can maintain this form then PSG won't find it difficult to win the Champions League title.

In the first place, I would like to congratulate Lionel Messi on his remarkable performance at the World Cup. I would also like to express my condolences to Kylian Mbappe for his loss. Returning to the league, I believe PSG should have no problem beating Strasbourg on 29-Dec. In spite of the fact that they will rest Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe for the match, they have a strong depth of attacking options in their squad. I think they might be able to play players like Angel Di Maria and Mauro Icardi if needed.

Yes, the two players are still carried away by the emotional atmosphere after the world cup final, but for Di Maria and Mauro Icardi, both of them are no longer at the PSG club, they are now respectively at Juventus and Galatasary, it seems you don't follow the updates of the players. It seems that Hugo Ekitike will replace Mbappe, while Pablo Sarabia will replace Messi.

Etikike seems to be very ready to temporarily replace Mbappe at PSG, even though he is on loan from Reims, Etikike is playing quite well. sarabia rarely plays because galtier is not so sure of him and prefers messi, getting the chance to play is not easy, hopefully he won't disappoint.

I think you overestimate the success of part of the PSG players in the World Cup, bookmakers continue to quote the probability of PSG winning the Champions League as 7.90 - which is even worse than Bayern (6.70), not to mention City (2.40). Club football is probably about a team game and not about a lottery or a set of stars (as one can sometimes say about national teams). In this sense, PSG looks worse than their opponents, they are still a team of stars, but no more.

France lost a chance to be a first team can protect their trophy after Brazil many years ago. Mbappe will return to PSG with bad mood and relationship with Messi and Neymar. Neymar congratulated Messi but did not show anything for Mbappe.

Will PSG be able to win Champions League with internal conflict of their biggest attacking players?

Don't forget Mbappe is the most important player in PSG and he has a control to choose his teammates, managers etc, this mean Mbappe can request to put Messi on bench until he's satisfied with his revenge. Technically PSG has the best strikers among other clubs since they have Messi and Mbappe who become man of the match from the final world cup, while Neymar is also important for Brazil.

I think PSG is currently have an awkward situation or internal conflict between Mbappe and Messi, it just depends on Mbappe ego, he's young and a selfish person, so he can't control his own emotion.

I think Mbappe doesn't really have a problem with Messi and people are just making up drama to sell more papers that's it, and get more views. Look at how they play together, of course Mbappe would be unhappy about the fact that he lost to Messi, that is only human but he is grown enough to know that this is football and Messi has to work hard to beat Mbappe, that's the goal of playing, anyone in the entire world that plays against Mbappe will play to beat him, that's the nature of the game.

All in all he accepted a huge deal from PSG, biggest ever, and we are going to just have to accept that Messi is there for a while longer as well, and they will play together without an issue.

[harapan]

In competitions like this the clubs with the best odds hardly win the cup. It's not about the odds and it's not also just about the stars. I believe PSG will knock out Bayern Munich since Neure is out injured. Aside that, PSG have been a better team than Bayern this season. Man City and PSG are the two teams I tip to win the ucl this season. I strongly believe the winner will be one of them.

Honestly if Messi and Mbappe keep performing the same way they played in the World Cup, I could guarantee them the Champions League title!
It is incredible how they were advancing in the opponents defence line like a missile.
Of course they will not play for their team like for their nation but this will give hope for PSG supporters.

The only thing that Mbappé has in his favor is that he is 23 years old and has many World Cups ahead of him, at least two more can be scored for him, and he can play them with everything he has, I think it could be up to 3 consecutively if age doesn't allow it. He hits like some players, I would dare to say that he can hold up to 4 world cups if he trains hard, for now Mbappé has a very good future of staying at PSG or going to another team, I don't think he has a life anymore at Real Madrid, because Whoever rejects Real Madrid Florentino Pérez never gives second chances again, it is a very elite and superior club.

For now, I think that Mbappé's best future will be at PSG, despite his many whims that he has to take out players, it is something that he must mature and be humble, I think that in the World Cup he taught him a lot in a short time, he still needs to see if he learned or not.

[Velvet78]

Will PSG be able to win Champions League with internal conflict of their biggest attacking players?

I wonder about this as well. Because we clearly saw what Messi did against Mbappe after Argentina scored a goal. Mbappe had revenge on that later on by doing the same to Messi. I don't know maybe it was due to adrenaline because of playing in maybe the most critical game of their lives. But it still made me have some doubts about the relationship between them.

If we really see conflict at PSG as well then they might be in trouble in the Champions League. Because the trio need to play coherently with each other to have a bigger chance for the title. Otherwise they would be more selfish which would make things more difficult for the team.

[TheGreatPython]

It is their financial ability that makes Paris Saint Germain very strong in Ligue 1. They don't think much when it comes to signing star players they don't even hesitate to spend a lot of money to get those players. Regarding Mbappe, yes, maybe he was a little over the top when he gave him very special treatment, that also made it a little difficult for him to control himself because he realized he was special. But it must be admitted that what he showed with his national team was extraordinary.
I also think that Paris Saint Germain's dominance will be very difficult to stop, unless there is a club that has the ability like Paris Saint Germain, especially in finance.

If we have same management in future no one going to challenge PSG because they are spending money without any hesitation, and they have enough funds which can give them good advantage so things looking good with Mbappé is also again at his best with his performance in world cup and Messi is also going to stay here for some more time which will give them good power and chance to win Champions League.
 
Now they are going to face Bayern Munich which is also strong but sadly due to injuries now having issues which will prevent them from having spot into last eight of Champions League in next round, even still it's never been easy for PSG because we have Manchester City and few more tough teams in competition.

PSG is one of the best teams in the world, but has mainly been bought together. Manchester City is also one of the best teams in the world, but that's more of a team. It has been the same for PSG supporters for years. They normally become champions every time, but in the CL they fail season after season. I do feel that this PSG is the strongest team we have ever seen from Paris. You could also think of imaginative lineups in which the B team of PSG can be lined up in certain matches in the competition. It's strange that Lille won the title a few seasons ago. Almost unthinkable when you think about it.

I think as long as some other rich people don't invest in Ligue 1 clubs then things like this won't change because it's likely to become like the bundesliga with the hegemony of Bayern.
Even though in the previous 2 seasons there was Lille who was able to break it off but now there will be no one who can for that, regardless of anything resources are everything and PSG are too different from other clubs.

The match is still long enough because it will be held in February so the current injury doesn't necessarily have an impact but it could also be the other way around. There are several possibilities that could occur.

It may be your statement is correct but as I know in early days of season there were few problems between these biggest stars, but after interference of management things are normal because PSG management give special treatment to Mbappé which was not good and few other players were not happy with this all, but they settle this all quickly because now management is very clear about their future which is related with the success of Champions League.

There was clear statement if PSG fail to win this competition than most chances current owners will sell this club and many players were never like this because right now they are having luxury salaries and bonuses with new coach is also doing good job even he has not good experience in Champions League but working with good strategy which is helping them for having better results.
