French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[el kaka22]

I have to say Ligue 1 is getting more and more boring each year. I can't believe that Lille managed to get that title because it looks like impossible right now for anyone to get even remotely close. I mean PSG was definitely the best team that season as well but something went wrong I suppose, this year they started with 3 wins out of 3 games and 17 insane goals, that's a lot, that's nearly 6 goals per game, I feel like it is going to be quite tough to get even close to them.

Last season I said after 10 weeks that they are already champions, this year I am saying it on 3rd week that they are already champions because their talent and now improved chemistry is insane.

[Rana590]

PSG starts the season with an incredible squad every year, this is normal for all of us, but this year all the players are very motivated; There is a different team spirit this year. This team can win the Champions League this year. The Neymar Mbappe Messi trio showed how dangerous they are when they have no problems. Really great recital. If it continues like this, the coming of the champions league trophy is not impossible. I don't understand how a person loves football but doesn't like Messi. The man always does the hard thing, but somehow he makes everything he does look very, very simple. He takes the ball at his feet, goes as far as he wants to go, sends the pass to the point he wants to throw, and puts the ball in the point where he wants to put the ball in the goal.

Messi Neymar Mbappe trio can destroy any team's defense wall to win. They need to fix their internet issues to spend a good season which will help them to do well in the Champions league. It is almost sure that they will win league title. They have enough opportunity to do well in the Champions league if players don't suffer from injury.

"Locker room"  goal, it's great to see PSG make this type of goal, it shows the training work and the team work, Mbappé's first goal.
So more goals and less soup off the field, seeing these big three players scoring in a football game is really cool.

PSG thrashing Lille 7-1 is remarkable for both the Parisians and this is just beginning of the league. Mbappe recording an hattrick in the game was well deserved by the Frenchman, and we all know that his backbones in the club are Neymar Jr and Leo Messi, because they're the ones giving him creative passes and he made good use of his chances. The Parisians boss, Christophe Glatier is doing a perfect job for the club and looks like he still wants to add more players to the club, he's not satisfied with his present squad?

PSG performed brilliantly in this match. Christophe Galtier seems to have put an end to all the internal problems in the team by looking at their performance in this match. At the same time, the rivalry between Neymar and Mbappe is probably over. The performance of the trio of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe was impressive. PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma's performance was also outstanding. Lille made plenty of attacks, but Donnarumma was able to parry them all with ease. If able to maintain this consistency, PSG will be able to play well in the Champions League.

Hi,
@hashrateproducts a coach will always want to have a certain player even to have him on the bench, I was referring to how LittleBitFunny and Lantind link comment, that's why I emphasized that team work.

I repeat far from the win itself, if they had won 1-0, it would have been an excellent result, perhaps not in the pompous score of 7 goals, but in that understanding that they showed as a team, that first goal tells me that they want to do things as a team and not expect an individual play from one of their great stars.

Apart from the rumors linking a rift between the MMN trio (Messi, Mbappe and Neymar), the situation of this club is getting more prominent in every way, I watched their match, something which according to the book was quite impressive and played well until the last minute, unfortunately Messi's quality in scoring goals didn't really stand out in this match, only one goal was able to be contributed, the rest Mbappe and Neymar dominated

[karabiber]

I think there is an incredible ego conflict between the Marseille coach and his players. Tudor's tactical knowledge may be good but he needs to stop treating players as robots. The physics of the teams Tudor coaches are generally high but there are always problems in their bilateral relations with the players. While trying to implement the game plan he wants to establish on the field he gets in the way with the players. I think Tudor will be sent in the second half.

This is a magical start for PSG to the league. The unbelievable win against Lille is already among the best games PSG have had in the league. I always want to see the trio playing like this. They can be unstoppable if they do this regularly. But this is of course a piece-of-cake league for PSG. We will see their real strength in the Champions League.

PSG so far in Ligue 1 is very superior by winning 3 wins with a very large score. The most impressive thing is how PSG beat Lille with a score of 1-7
while playing away, and in that match PSG's front line played extraordinary. This is all because Galtier's strategy is working well, what I admire
about Galtier is that he can control the ego of the star players at PSG. Whereas previously it was reported that there was a dispute between Neymar
and Mbappe, but in the match against Lille, the collaboration between Neymar and Mbappe is extraordinary. Even Messi this season has started to show
his best performance. Besides that, PSG's defense is also quite solid and it is very natural to concede 3 goals in 3 matches.  It seems that PSG management's decision to appoint Galtier as PSG's main coach is very appropriate, and also Galtier so far has proven that he is worthy of replacing Pochettino.

even if they don't win with such big scores regularly they will still be unstoppable in ligue 1, no good competitor whatsoever, and as you said we'll see what they can do in the champions league, I think everyone is just waiting for them to face bigger teams in CL, that's where it's going to be a real challenge for them and them we can see how good they actually are.

Lille is one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1. It was unimaginable that PSG would maintain such dominance in this match. PSG players dominated the entire match and managed to score 7 goals. And it is easy to understand that gradually PSG is becoming more stable. Galtier is able to fulfill his duties quite well. He continues to strive to strengthen the team and strengthen the bond between the team players. If Neymar, Mbappe or Messi will not be injured, then PSG will be able to do well in this season's Champions League.

[Lantind]

In the end, it's about team performance, and fans are pleased with it. MNM scores for PSG. Finally, MNM is working. The world's best trio is about to be revealed. Whenever they play together, Messi brings the best out of Neymar. We expect Neymar to play like this now that he is back! For the rest of the season, we hope Neymar stays healthy and focused. Mbappe, however, should be humble and emulate Messi and other senior players.

Neymar, Messi and Mbappe are actually quite impressive in one team, we can see the contribution of these three players when they play on the field, but because the players have their own egos, so there is competition between them. It's something that happens naturally, when a team brings together great players, but I think the contribution of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe has been quite good in the few games they played, hopefully they will continue to show this until the end of next season

the form is superb,the combination of the trio is one that no defender will be able to stand,it's only English defenders that will be able to defend their three without conceding.Mbape,Neymar and Messi are three unbelievable players that will win you games without stress.If they were to be playing like this Everytime,I don't think there would have been problem at all.Nevertheless,let's hope to see them continue playing like this and winning games.

Indeed it is like that, for now I have seen how Marseille has played and I have a lot of faith in it, and I don't know, but I am very intrigued by what Lyon can offer this season, because it really is another team that has been showing very little what he can do, it really is something that he has given me, I don't know if it will be a hunch, but for me if a team comes out that gives PSG a lot of competition and makes it difficult for them I would be very pleased, because it is as you say, they have a Neymar and Messi connected, but we all know that PSG has been revolving only around Mbappé, in fact they said No to CR7 because the PSG CR7 project does not fit him, so obviously they are betting on the youth .

For this reason it is that when Messi and Neymar don't contribute as much as they want due to their age, it is where the other teams must take advantage of such weakness, and I see both Marseille and Lyon as the two good options.

Right but let's face it, the problem is this: if a team really manages to compete with PSG over the course of a whole season for rank 1, it usually doesn't mean that the other team was super strong. What it usually means is that PSG was super weak. And that in turn is something nobody wants to see either. The devil is in the details here. It's all good if there is competition, but under normal circumstances there is not.

There was one season when Mbappe became the shining star. Monaco was REALLY strong that season, no doubt. But given the squads on paper, a season where PSG is not going to make it must be an awful season to watch (in most cases) when you actually are a fan of Messi, Neymar, Mbabbe and alike to celebrate their superstar football.

We'll see what the next months will bring, but I am honestly one of those guys who is already looking forward to the final stage of the CL games

You're right, in fact it's not that I wish PSG ill, but I also want to see another French team emerge that makes it more competitive, just as in the Spanish League they have Real Madrid and Barcelona, I would like to see PSG against any another team of that style will count on PSG, normally a team that is very competitive against one of the stars is that it has at least 2 world stars and only then does the team work around those stars so that they shine and make the team shine in general, So that's how Real Madrid and Barcelona used to be, of course now things have changed, in both teams there are many stars, which makes it interesting.

I just hope that Mbappé has gotten over that whim he has against Neymar and that anxiety for power in PSG of wanting to decide between the players and with whom he wants to play or not, I really liked the first goal that he they did between Messi and Mbappé, he was the fastest in the league, if they start to play that way, I don't think even in Bayern in a merger with Real Madrid they will be able to overcome them, they are players who when they leave the differences behind and start playing they do really magic, this is something that I like, and I'm sure that all PSG fans and those who are not, will also like it, for me the only one that flatters there would be CR7 so that it is completely perfect, but that's like too much to ask.

The Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio can become the most destructive trio in the world if they have a good understanding among themselves. The chemistry between Neymar and Messi is very good and we saw it in Barcelona. Now the new addition is young Mbappe. This trio is capable of scoring against any defence.

Galtier now needs to prepare his squad for the Champions League match. Forward and midfield players are now performing well consistently. Galtier now needs to bring consistency to the defenders' performances. In a platform like the Champions League, a small mistake by defenders can lead to defeat. And so defenders must be careful.

Well, this is indeed a pretty good thing, but on the other hand we also can't rule out the ego and small spark that exists in these three players.
Ligue 1 has just started, there has been a debate between Neymar and Mbappe which in my opinion, although it is not long, but clearly will still be very influential. fortunately in Ligue 1 there is still no opponent who can really compete with them because if they don't get along with their condition coupled with a tight league, I don't think this is good enough.

[bekti3]

17 goals in 3 games that is something really extraordinary. The 7 goals they scored against Lille made them continue to increase their productivity in scoring goals. What's interesting here is how Mbappe seems to be happy, because he is able to create a hattrick  . Neymar and Messi also contributed to PSG's lead.

If this goal productivity happened in the Premier League or Serie A it would be something extraordinary, because the EPL and Serie A are very competitive. For this reason PSG always fail in the Champions League stage, because in the domestic league they do not find a balanced opponent. PSG have always dominated Ligue 1, but not in the Europa League, they will have a hard time when they meet other elite clubs.

Still, this is something to be reckoned with.
Apart from Ligue 1 which is still said to be a farmers' league, it is still very good to see so many goals that occur in every match.
The Champions League is a league that indeed gathers tough clubs there, and indeed PSG still has a chance but this is indeed different because it is not only players and productivity that determine, but also the experience of playing in this league.

The chemistry between Messi and Neymar is unquestionable. they can complement each other, however, mbappe still has a higher ego between 2 more senior stars. The efforts made by PSG and Galtier management were quite effective in clearing up the problems that occurred in the dressing room.
we can see how psg's strength is at the moment, especially in the match against Lille. The MNM trio are so compact, that whoever the club is against PSG will really take into account their defense line.
PSG is a real threat to all the clubs that will compete in the champions league. it's just that, if there are problems related to mbappe again, then, psg's performance will not be stable.
IMO, currently the challenge for galtier's homework is to create solid chemistry for their attacking trio.

Not many big clubs can play like PSG who can get a lot of goals in a very short time because most of them only get less than 10 goals, if PSG can get more goals then it will give a high number of points and will It is very difficult to beat PSG when it is already at the top of the French league rankings.

It is expected that PSG will play well in the Champions League this season.

That is exactly the way I think, that PSG needs a competitor that drives PSG to new heights the same way it happened for so many years between Barcelona and Real and sometime Atlético Madrid. A little while ago it was also said that Real has no interest in seeing Barcelona collapse financially. The reason is that Real Madrid benefits a lot from having a serious competitor in their league and I agree. What would La Liga be with a collapsed Barcelona and a Real Madrid that becomes the champion every single year?

It would be in the best interest of PSG to finally have another team in Ligue 1 that is head to head with them until the very last day. It would make it much more exciting to watch French soccer, but right now it isn't attractive for international fans to follow PSG for a whole season. There are some spectacular goal festivals from time to time and it is fun to watch the offense combine in such a great way and score seven goals per game, but it is not really what soccer fans are after.

[tarable]

The 1-7 PSG victory is ordinary because they have a team that has world class players. If PSG cannot score 7 goals when Lille has lost enthusiasm in the match, then it is in vain to have a MMN trio. I do not intend to underestimate PSG and Ligue 1, but in Spain (La Liga) and in England (Premier League) the big score is rare, because all teams can provide resistance, even the team at the bottom of the standings can beat the ranking team at the standings.

[TopT3ns]

Lille is considered one of PSG's main rivals for the Ligue 1 title. But PSG won by 7 goals against Lille. Now it doesn't look like PSG will face any obstacles to winning the Ligue 1 title. PSG will win the French league title as usual this season too. Now they are slowly moving towards winning the Champions League title. It is expected that PSG will play well in the Champions League this season.

I think LOSC Lille is not as imagined as a strong opponent because in the previous match Lille only won once which in my opinion is not a tough opponent for the strength of the team from PSG, because I think PSG's strongest enemy will be Marseille in October.

At a time when PSG can get a lot of goals Lionel Messi the legend is still calm, I can't stop thinking about how many goals are created when Messi is in high spirits to get goals.
