French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Rabi3]

I don't see that for now, the reason Madrid were so sure last season Mbappe would come is because things like this happened but when he decided to stay with PSG and turned down Madrid's offers I think it ended there. Because I'm still pretty sure Madrid still won't open the door for Mbappe this season or even next season even though it's possible this will definitely be the last option for Perez, he has money and there are still a number of strikers he can bring in even though it's true in terms of skills obviously it won't be as good as Mbappe but he will choose that option as it will be very painful again for Perez if he is rejected again and again at the last moment.

Kylian Mbappe will not join Real Madrid this season. He will play until he finishes his argument at PSG. He could potentially join Real Madrid later on if they want to sign Kylian Mbappe. However, if Mbappe joins Real Madrid, this team is the best team in the world. That means it has the potential to become the best club.

Do you think that Madrid is not the best club now lol.
I think with the present condition or in the future it will be difficult for Mbappe to be in Madrid as long as he is at PSG with all the luxury that he has now.
This condition cannot be ignored because regardless of anything now we know his position is very comfortable and he likes this thing that made him reject Madrid last season and I think it has finished there even though in the next few seasons there may be changes of course it has to Wait until the contract actually expires.

Mbappe is a fan of Real Madrid and I'm %100 sure he will play for them sooner or later, he definitely likes the position he has in PSG right now and he wants to score more and win more trophies with them and then move on, He will get bored if all he wins is the Ligue 1, that won't get him a Ballon dor, and I'm pretty sure he is aiming for it.

There will be a quite big competition for the second spot in the standings for certain.

I especially expect a competition among Marseille, Monaco and Rennes for that. Maybe I'm prejudiced about Lens but I don't feel like they will be able to keep up this level until the end of the season. They aren't normally a very familiar team with their current place in the league. I can't overlook their impressive effort until now of course. But considering their performance last season I feel like it will be the same for them. They will lose their momentum at a point and it will be the start of their fall. For the second spot, I'm favouring Marseille for now.

With we still have 23 round left in this current season and PSG is already at the top with big gape for third spot and other teams like 10 points most chances this will be increased and no one able to challenge them for the title race, and we have competition for remaining top spots which is clearly no easy with Rennes and Lens both are doing amazing job and Marseille and Monaco is also fighting hard for the spots which will bring good competition Lorient which was at their best suddenly losing their momentum and having poor results which mean we have wide open chances for many teams which are looking for qualification of remaining European competitions spots with most chances Marseille and Monaco have habit of giving their best near the end of the season is also good advantage for these both teams.

[bering]

Regarding Lorient I don't think this team will finishing in third or fourth place later, there is no bigger opportunity to this team. Meanwhile Marseille also won't let that happen, Marseille which will against Toulouse, will possibility get 3 points easily. Toulouse's defense is very bad and easy to beat, so there is no chance for Lorient to take that place.

Lorient actually starting this league with 7 wins from 10 matches and previously they are strong candidate for top 4 but now their main problem is consistency that Lorient performance gradually was decline even Lorient was through 5 latest matches without the winning results so if Lorient cannot able to bounce back i think they should be forget to playing at european competitions for next season and for next match against Montpellier this is hard match for them although Montpellier also in the poor performance period but Montpellier is the team who hard to beat by Lorient so the result of this match will be so unpredictable considering both of teams still looking for their best shape

[Davian144]

Absolutely right, Messi will probably not play in the PSG team this year, he will join the team next year. He is enjoying the World Cup so far. It is really pleasing for him that his football career has come to fruition.

The match between PSG and Strasbourg, which will take place on December 29 this year to be precise, is a very close game to the new year because it will take place at the end of the year. And I think it won't be a big problem for PSG if Messi doesn't appear in that match because there are still more talented players who can fill Messi's position for that match. Besides that, Strasbourg is also not a very strong team so PSG will not be worried if they have to play without Messi at the end of this year.

[Smack That Ace]

The real reason is that dude is different from others, have we seen Di Maria do it? Messi? Acuna? Anyone? It's just him and him alone that goes overboard and that's the only reason, and I do not think that it would be fair to say it's anything regional or anything, it's just one person.
And to be honest that should be fine, most teams have one player that everyone hates, I think it is unavoidable, wish it was, because we really do not need players like that, no human like that, we should spread love and not hate or at least not triggering, "free speech" is not same as being rude, and being rude could get you disliked that is as much as expected and normal.

I still can't believe what we are talking about Martinez making fun of Mbappe with the doll. The photo can be misunderstood, but I'll never know for sure what led to the doll in Martinez's hands. I would regret it if Martinez actually did it, but to this day I haven't found a reason why Martinez did it. It's still speculation to me, but of course I don't like something like that though that's fine.

Mbappe shouldn't have to worry about this, I'm sure he's not affected by anything. After all this is done outside the game and anyone can hate anyone in the end. Mbappe scored 4 goals against Martinez in the final, including 3 penalties and 1 beautiful goal. Is Martinez any better? of course not.

First of all, we have to understand that in this era we have a lot of yellow journalism. The journalist and the media will share the news which will be able to bring them the most amount of views and reach. Most of the time they do not even care about the truth. The photo of Emi holding the doll of mbappe could be something else. I totally agree that this could easily be misunderstood. And even if he was making fun of the loser team I think a lot of people do that.

So there is no reason to be so much butthurt all of a sudden for this. Just because of this, mbappe is not suddenly going to become the worst player in the world or anything. Argentina just won the world cup and I would say that just let the players enjoy the moment.

I am also a super fan of Real Madrid
My guess is that one day I'll also play for Real Madrid %100 
He said no at the most important time they needed him it can not happen again

[el kaka22]

I think he could just finish his contract here, which will end in 2024 if I am not wrong, and then he could move to Real Madrid that way? He must be working towards making enough money here that he wouldn't really need to ask for a lot from Real because he would have all he needs from the PSG contract already.

In any case, if PSG offers him similar amount of money again later on when his contract is nearly over, I think he will still stay there because he is French and what is better than staying in your own nations capital and making 60+ million a year? Real is great and all, but what PSG offers can't be replicated at all by any other team in the world.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Currently PSG is at the top of the standings with 41 points, while Lens and Rennes follow in second and third positions. There are still many rounds left in the second half of the season, so Monaco, Marseille and Lyon have the opportunity to catch up on points for two and three in the standings. However, it seems that the opportunity to catch PSG points is difficult, because PSG's consistency is still quite strong and dominant in Ligue 1 at the moment.

In fact, I see that PSG's chances of becoming champions still have the opportunity to be disturbed by Lens, Rennes and Marseille, because the number of points remaining is not too wide to be pursued. Even though it is quite difficult to break PSG's consistency, because at the moment they are still so strong.

real madrid is a team that even without Mbappe they will be very well, they will not run after mbappe after what he did to real madrid, see that real madrid has always been a team that had the best players, they do not need to relegate themselves to Mbappe, we have Benzema, and there are so many good players who can play well in Real Madrid that I see no reason for Real Madrid to lower themselves to Mbappe. we are a strong team with many champions league titles, we don't need to humiliate ourselves by bringing a traitor to real madrid, besides that when Mbappe's contract ends he will no longer be playing in the same way and I think he will be even better than real madrid and the press forget about this possibility of bringing him to real madrid


I need information:

PSG - Strasbourg

Can anyone tell me if Mbappe and Neymar and Messi will play in this game? can you tell me if Mbappe, Neymar and Messi are participating in PSG training for this game? I tried to search about it but I can't find guaranteed news of what's happening, for example on PSG's instagram I just saw neymar and Mbappe in a video at the PSG gym but that's not a guarantee that they were participating in training and I didn't see it a month, what's up? why wouldn't they play? world cup ended a few days ago

[slaman29]

Boateng's star is quickly losing the shine as Lyon wants to cut ties apparently, even though he's keen on extension.

Can we all stop talking about players and focus on teams? I still wonder about Monaco, for example, will they get a refresh?

World Cup passed and Ligue 1 will resume in few days so better to concentrate on that indeed!
Monaco transfer rumors aren't that many nor important as I could find although they have enough money to spend to recruit few players. So far they aren't in top level comparing to the previous season although they are trying to recover and advance.
Their match will be against Auxerre, a team that is trying to avoid the relegation zone so it is obvious why Monaco is favorite here.

Yes, I took them to start off the post WC season, and then immediately Embolo destroyed his Lambo yesterday lol. Hope that's a sign of misfortune used up.

PSG as usual odds are far too small to make them attractive, and no way I count on them to lose after so many of their stars went very far in WC, I would think their form is totally on spot.

[Hyphen(-)]

Mbappe is a fan of Real Madrid and I'm %100 sure he will play for them sooner or later, he definitely likes the position he has in PSG right now and he wants to score more and win more trophies with them and then move on, He will get bored if all he wins is the Ligue 1, that won't get him a Ballon dor, and I'm pretty sure he is aiming for it.

Yes, Mbappe was a Real Madrid fan when Ronaldo was playing for them, but now that he is a star player at PSG and is playing alongside Messi and Neymar, I don't think he would want to move to Real Madrid.
I am also confident that Real Madrid will make a bid for Mbappe after the huge disappointment they experienced during the previous transfer window because they had high hopes of signing him before he turned them down and renewed his PSG contract.

[KTChampions]

Real is great and all, but what PSG offers can't be replicated at all by any other team in the world.

Mbappe is currently the top scorer in the Champions League, World Cup and Ligue 1. I think you will agree that the third option sounds undignified to say the least? Who cares about the number of goals scored in the farm league? This is exactly what PSG cannot give to Mbappe. Even in La Liga, which can also be considered a farm league (in terms of statistics), goals "weigh" more. It's clear that Mbappe's ambitions will keep him moving forward. As for the money issue, I doubt that with a fortune value of 500 million + - 50 million means anything.

It is rumored that Marca, if in the past Madrid were indeed interested in him. But having chosen to stay it means Madrid won't be looking forward to him coming. Right now they've got Vinicius and that's more than good. They don't want to bring in players who could ruin the locker room. In addition, with a high salary, it will make Madrid spend a lot of money. I think Madrid are interested in bringing in a pure forward in place of Benzema.

It is unfortunate, I think that this will not happen, Florentino Pérez is leaving it, he met an Mbapé who didn't think like he was right now, now Florentino Pérez said that Ahroita's Mbappé is no longer the same as he met, nor is the dreamy Mbappé what he saw and what he wanted for his club, so neither he nor any player is above the club, this is something that no one else can intervene, even if he wins the ballon d'or and whatever he does, Florentino Pérez never gives up And that's a shame, he's a good player, but I don't want him to go to Real Madrid either, I don't like the way he treats players who aren't related to him.

Real Madrid have clear stance on Kylian Mbappe transfer

As reported by MARCA, Real Madrid follows its roadmap and that does not go through reopening the door of the entity to the possible arrival of Mbappe. The club’s leaders want to get away from the noise.

There is no doubt that Mbappe is one of the best players on the planet and seems pretty much destined to win the Ballon d’Or someday, unless something unexpected happens.

He would be considered as a major coup for any club on the planet right now. But considering how the transfer saga involving Real Madrid and Mbappe has transpired in the past, and how Vinicius Jr has developed in recent years, and Los Blancos might not really need the Frenchman anymore.

And I totally agree with what Marca reports in their news media. unless Mbappe is willing to be a centre-forward. even then, if Madrid are still interested in signing him. However, I believe that in the future Mbappe will join Real Madrid, maybe after Mbappe's contract with PSG ends. Currently, Madrid is prioritizing the regeneration of their midfielders. considering that Luca Modric is already 37 years old, Toni Kroos is already 32 years old. for Benzema, at least he can still be counted on until this season ends.

So, Mbappe will stay with SPG at least until the end of his contract. or perhaps, if the Premier League giants want him in the next summer window. But before that happens, Mbappe and his colleagues must fulfill the club's dream of winning the Champions League trophy this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is mbappe idol in football and striving hard to be like him is amazing. Kylian mbappe is one of the favorite player under Christophe Galtier and Didier Deschamps. He's talented with pace and balance on the pitch, with good footing on the ball. Kylian is France top valued player in the market, and deals to pull him out of the Parisians squad have failed countless times. Disappointing real Madrid in the first bid which the Los blancos were so close to bringing him to Santiago bernabeu.

Mbappe has too high ego like Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe he learned it from his idol.

After Messi and Ronaldo era, and a generation in middle with Bale, Neymar, Hazard who all failed to beat and take over top positions of Messi and Ronaldo, we have a new generation with Mbappe and Haaland as two best players. They will compete with each other and create another dual competition personally like Messi vs Ronaldo in past 20 years.

Deschamps and Galtier know what they can get from Mbappe but at the same time, also risk by lack of defense contribution from Mbappe. They have to create a system which can cover Mbappe in defense.

[makishart]

Glad to see that perez was making a clarrification about mbappe. So many people were actively talking about him anytime. It seems like that perez feel disappointed with mbappe. Mbappe may have a chance in the future but not for now. Pereze prefers to get an alternative player for him other than begging for mbappe to come back again. I think that real madrid must have made such decision caused by mbappe can be replaced with another choice.
There are so many potential striker that has the same skill like him. Just because he has perform so well during the world cp and it doesn't mean madrid needs to waste lots of resource to get him from PSG

I feel so too, real madrid were interested and wanted to sign him when his contract was over at psg, they would have signed him as a free player, and worried about only his salary, but he decided not to go to madrid and signed a new contract with psg, he would be very expensive right now. He is a valuable footballer, one of the most valuable footballers in the world, so it will take a lot of money for madrid or any other football club to sign him. Mbappe is going to stay in psg, they are giving him a lot of things to make him stay, even if those things are what is spoiling him, if he leaves psg for another team without receiving the same treatment he may turn out to be a problem in the locker room, he and psg are good for each other right now, and it will stay like this.

Paris SG is a great team. Also Mbappe's home. However, every football player has a dream. Right now I think Mbappe thinks he can play for Paris SG all the time. If Real Madrid became a football player who grew up with his dream, sooner or later he will wear that jersey and sign it. If this transfer happens soon, it will be a big blood loss for Paris SG. Mbappe is a big player for them and I'm sure they don't want him to leave the team.
