French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[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 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.

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.

3 games: 17 goals scored and 3 goals conceded...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PSG's appearance at the beginning of the season was indeed extraordinary, in the first match PSG were able to beat Clermont with a landslide score of 0-5, in the second match PSG were also able to beat Montpellier with a score of 5-2, while in the third match PSG again made a surprise by beating LOSC by the score is 1-7, from 3 matches the coach applies a different formation, in the first match PSG applies a 3-4-3 formation, in the second match PSG uses a 3-4-1-2 formation, while in the third match PSG uses a 3-4 formation -2-1, I am very sure that in the domestic league PSG can definitely become champions, but the biggest goal is the Champions League, because the Champions League is PSG's toughest test, but this year PSG's chance to win the Champions League in my opinion is more open compared to last year.

Ligue 1 teams are relatively less powerful than La Liga and Premier League. However, Lille is not a weak team. Lille was the Ligue 1 champion in the 2020-21 season. Scoring 7 goals against such a renowned team were not easy. PSG played very well. They scored in the first minute of the match. Maybe PSG won't be able to score 7 goals against any Premier League or La Liga team. But if PSG are able to maintain such consistent performance, they are capable of defeating any strong team.

[Distraction]

I see some people saying that Lille are one of the main opponents of PSG in the Ligue 1. However I don't believe this is true anymore. Their last head-to-heads can be shown as a proof for that also. I have added it below:



I respect Lille's success like being the champions of the league two seasons ago. But this was only related to their having a special season, that's all. There has been a huge power difference between these teams for years. PSG showed this once again by that 7-1 win.

In short, there is actually no team in the Ligue 1 that can keep up with PSG every season. As long as we don't see any other team building a very qualified squad like PSG, this will never change. PSG have real opponents in only the Champions league now.

[KTChampions]

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.

Too early conclusions on the results of games in the farm league  PSG is now the only top club in France, so we see such results. But who knows what will happen if they come across some strong team like Atlético (I'm not even talking about other top teams) - when in the center of the field it will be necessary to really fight and not play on clean balls. It is quite possible that this trio will fade again.

Exactly, they have to prove themselves first by facing a club that has the same level as them. That way we can conclude whether their game can compete if they are in a more difficult competition or not. Because if you look at the match here (Ligue 1) it is clear they are able to do well, although their internal problems still cannot be resolved. And I think, even if one of their star players is absent they will still perform like that.

Just wait for them to appear in the Champions League against other big clubs, although the atmosphere is different it can at least prove the depth of the squad that PSG has. If you look at PSG who always fail in the Champions League, Ligue 1 can be said to be a livestock league because there is no team that can provide competition to PSG. Maybe for that reason players who join Ligue 1 clubs are less popular than players who compete in the Premier League or La Liga.

The depth of PSG's squad so far has not guaranteed anything for their success in winning the Champions League. Most of the season they failed to reach the final but they could always try in a different season until luck was on their side. The same thing happened to Manchester City, so they are just a team waiting in line to win the Champions League title.

PSG are the most dominant team in their domestic league at the moment in Ligue 1. They are the favorites in every weekend game but they can never win all the games easily because other teams also expect good competition. Although so far PSG have collected 9 points from 3 wins, so I believe they can still be beaten. Currently only PSG have managed to score 17 goals in 3 games earlier this season compared to any other team in any league, that is another testament to how good a striker they are. Only Bayern Munich in Bundesliga are in second place for the most number of goals they have scored in the last 3 matches with 15 goals.

The depth of Manchester City and PSG are same but PSG have worse management than Manchester City. In Manchester City, we don't see many drama and conflict between star players like what we see in PSG with Neymar vs Cavani, Neymar vs Mbappe.

Only Bayern Munich in Bundesliga are in second place for the most number of goals they have scored in the last 3 matches with 15 goals.

PSG dominate Ligue 1 in first three matches. They got 9 points and scored 17 goals so far. With this form and with their domination there, they will win Ligue 1 easily in this season. They just have to build up connection for their players, avoid injuries and be ready for Champions League. It is their biggest target in every season. A first Champions Leaghe cup is waiting for PSG and this golden player generation to take it.

That's right, the point is that after PSG became the richest team in Ligue 1, after that no team could stop PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. Because maybe and it seems true, that the owner wants PSG to become the strongest team in Europe by getting the Champions League title. But unfortunately, to achieve that will still be difficult even though they have upgraded the team with a lot of money. So, when they fail in the Champions League but they will never fail to dominate Ligue 1. Also, of course PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 will last a long time, because no rival team in Ligue 1 comes close to PSG's quality.

Surely Champions League is going to be tested case for them even in group stage they will thrash all teams like they are doing business in French League because most of the teams are not good enough for handling attack like this which is right now thrashing teams in this league but knock out stage is surely going to be a better place where we can check them how they are going to do in this all.

But, keep one thing in mind after change of coach and recent pressure on Neymar is also working for them because now he is feeling if he is not going to perform then surely they are not going to give him extension and no other club can afford him with this salary and other benefits so change of attitude and performance surely giving good benefit to PSG.

[darewaller]

I get that PSG is a great team and they are doing as well as hoped for. But when they score in 7th second then it becomes a bit of a problem. I mean it is not going to be something that we can't really see again, they are so good that I think it could even happen again, maybe not 7th second but like 20th second next time who knows?

What I really want to believe is that we are talking about something that is quite uncommon with how powerful they are compared to rest of the league, them and Bayern, that's it. These teams are not doing it on some low level out of top 50 league, they are doing it on one of the best leagues in the world and they are unfairly good against everyone else without any shred of doubt.

Since winning the Ligue 1 trophy in the 2020/2021 season, Lille's performance has decreased, even the previous season Lille had performed
poorly by being in 10th position. That's why when the start of this season started I didn't think of Lille as a strong team anymore in Ligue 1.
So it's only natural that PSG can win big against Lille this season, because based on the previous head to head it was very clear Lille was not
a strong competitor for PSG anymore. Even looking at Lille's performance in 3 games this season, I'm not sure Lille this season is in the top 5.

So for me it would be much more interesting to see PSG face Marseille or Lyon, especially Marseille which has proven in the last few seasons
to play quite consistently by always being in the top 5. So this season in Ligue 1 it is Marseille who deserves to be PSG's main opponent,
although if Marseille face PSG it is likely to lose, at least Marseille can provide resistance and will not be easily defeated by PSG. Even though
the truth is true, it's more interesting to watch PSG play in the Champions League, which in the Champions League PSG can face opponents
who have almost the same strength. Because other Ligue 1 teams struggle to build quality teams, and so far no other team in Ligue 1 has
the same financial strength as PSG.

I started to think whether it is worth it when one of the top leagues is dominated by only one team, where the dominance of that team is very difficult to stop. I prefer to say their real competition is the Champions League. We see how they are there, even I see them only as a small team that does not have a winning mentality. Not condescending, but that's a fact I see.
