French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Distraction]

I really liked this camera angle by the way. It made me feel like I was playing FIFA 23. 

It was a wonderful free-kick by Messi and Lopes made a superb save also. We are watching Messi play very close to his times at Barcelona from now on. He is meeting the expectations by scoring goals and making assists regularly. In this match, we actually watched Neymar and Messi playing like the way they used to do at Barcelona. Mbappe couldn't do much in this match as these two players preferred to play together quite often. I hope that this didn't make Mbappe frustrated. Because he is already aware of the strong bond between them and he doesn't want to be their second option to pass the ball to. Mbappe showed an example of his frustration in a match before after not getting the pass while he was making a great run into the back of the defense of their opponent.

PSG dealt surprisingly easily with Olympique Lyon. The 1-0 result does not fully reflect the advantage that the team from Paris had in this match. Certainly, a goal scored quickly by Messi, because already in the 5th minute of the match, was of great importance for the course of the match. I must admit that I expected more from the hosts.

Nothing more can be expected from the hosts (Olympique Lyon). Even though Olympique Lyon looked to be playing really well to keep themselves from conceding more goals in that match, because PSG team is always the stronger team in French Ligue 1. But what I wonder is why only one goal was created by the PSG team while in the PSG team there are so many high-class star players, while in the Olympique Lyon team it is the opposite.

Mbappe showed an example of his frustration in a match before after not getting the pass while he was making a great run into the back of the defense of their opponent.

He has the world's highest awareness on the field, his every move is planned, every move has a logic. It's as if he stops the whole life by pressing the pause button during the match, and after deciding what to do, he presses play and continues the match. He does this as if it were a very simple, ordinary thing. An ordinary person, even if they are a professional footballer, cannot do this. Even if Messi will only pass the ball when he touches the ball, it gets people excited. I had this feeling years ago only in Ronaldinho when I was little.

Lyon did a very high level job today in terms of defense and goalkeeper. If it was any other team, Messi would have scored three goals in this match. Congratulations to Lyon's defense, they were very good. Mbappe played very disconnected from the team for this match. Neymar, yes he is very talented but he needs to keep his turnovers to a minimum. With this PSG, they will be one of the top contenders for CL, but cannot match City's level, definitely.

And with Marseille finally getting a tie, while PSG winning, it is obvious that PSG is the first and intends to stay like that. People overreacted to PSG  a lot, and they shouldn't and it wasn't such a big deal, they assumed that Marseille could win the title like Lille did a year prior, and that is obviously not going to happen at all, look at the game and the result and you will see why.

I believe that the best thing to do now would be waiting for PSG to have even more wins, and they will do fine. It is overreacted, and PSG will show the world how "rich" they are, I mean they are good, but that's mainly thanks to the money they have.

[LUCKMCFLY]

For the PSG match against Nantes it was something that I thought would not happen, I thought that in Nantes I was going to do something better, for me this team was one of the ones with the best chance of beating PSG, I had it as one of the best candidates For this, however, I did not like the last games, I do not know, but now a team that seems good to PSG I see it difficult, at least for this time, I do not know which one can face it, otherwise PSG will win the French league very easy and the truth It won't be a lot of emotion, especially All for bettors, the fact that a team wins or draws PSG is synonymous that it is very good and that it can face it, but I have not seen any team with that guarantee.



Although there are some things to emphasize, I really like what the technical director said to his stars:

PSG's Messi, Neymar, Mbappe warned to accept bench role by coach Christophe Galtier

"We play a lot, every three days, then every four days, then there is the World Cup. Everyone has to understand that they won't be able to play all the games."

Sergio Ramos was also given a relative rest against Nantes, only coming on in the 62nd minute.

"Everyone has to be ready to play. The most important thing is the team. We have quality in both the starters and the substitutes," Presnel Kimpembe said.

"We have a good group. Everyone knows that. We take advantage of each other to be as good as possible."

I think that these things make me give a message to Mbappé saying that the coach is the boss here and not the stars, I think it's a good thing and apart from that he is taking care of them, this coach has all my respect.

Of course the coach have every right to keep the stars on the bench if they're not fit for games. He's the boss and he selects the kind of players he wants to start games for him. Christophe Glatier is in charge of the Parisians and controlled them all, despite the contract the club offered to Kylian Mbappe when he wanted to leave for Real Madrid when they came for him. Mbappe happens to be one of the big earners in the club, although he have his decisions and obligation in the club but not bigger than the coach. The trio always do better when they played together on the pitch.

Well that's clear, also from the point of view that the coaches don't want to bring in their stars to take care of them because the proximity of the World Cup is something else, now, the Real Madrid thing for me and I think that many think that Mbappé only He stayed at PSG to want to be like the almost owner of the team and have privileges over the other players and apart from a lot of money, the club for me bet that everything would revolve around him, that's why they talk about the list of the players that he no longer wants to be on the PSG platform and practically the ones he wants are signed and he says, only for him to shine, which seems to me to be a very bad thing, because no player can be above a team in In particular, he recently said that Real Madrid felt like his home, which caused a lot of revulsion on the part of Madrid fans, they even made many memes in the form of ridicule, some Madridistas said they would never accept it.

With this PSG, they will be one of the top contenders for CL, but cannot match City's level, definitely.

Well, it cannot be denied that the angle does look like it was from PS5, I have not played it, the truth is that video game is very realistic, but it is as you say, the shot was spectacular, I think that Messi despite all the criticism He remains at a high standard of the game that he always shows, however when an analysis is made of Mbappé many people agree with me, he is not playing comfortably, I think he feels that he is not with his teammates, but with his enemies.

the subject of Mapppé is very extensive, the truth is that I do not like to listen to him when he gives his press conferences, it seems very childish to me with what he says, on the other hand, as I have said in previous opinions, I have my faith in Marseille that he becomes one of the teams that best face PSG.

Lyon is playing very well, but they are missing something, that something that is like that right to win, that search for what is good, for what they deserve and that they completely lose their fear of PSG.

And with Marseille finally getting a tie, while PSG winning, it is obvious that PSG is the first and intends to stay like that. People overreacted to PSG  a lot, and they shouldn't and it wasn't such a big deal, they assumed that Marseille could win the title like Lille did a year prior, and that is obviously not going to happen at all, look at the game and the result and you will see why.

I believe that the best thing to do now would be waiting for PSG to have even more wins, and they will do fine. It is overreacted, and PSG will show the world how "rich" they are, I mean they are good, but that's mainly thanks to the money they have.

Yes, the path can be seen very clearly for PSG, but I think that at this point they would not trust me in the slightest, Marseille have very good technique, they have good players, apart from that they have a coach who wants to win and to spoil the party for PSG, it has a lot going for it, I don't think it will be disappointed for not being first, sometimes this type of experience is good to make them step on the ground as it is and prepare better in this league, I don't want to see one a league totally dominated by a PSG that shows everything, good players + money, who not only think of the UCL but also think of the league as a way that they have to fight and try much harder than the previous season.


I like how ESPN says things, apart from capturing a good image where Messi is very happy and Mbappé with a smiling face but not satisfied:



Personally, I expected much more from Vitinha, he is a good midfielder, I was struck by the fact that he spoke and said the following:

"I'm satisfied with the result but not with the performance. We could have played better. There's a lot of room for improvement," the Portuguese said. "We should have controlled the match better in the second half and we should have had more chances with the possession we had."

This for me represents many things, yes, that PSG is proving that it is the best in the League (so far) there is still a long way to go, both Marseille and Lyon are pronounced to be one of the best teams that can put up a fight to PSG, it's not bad at all, this gets interesting.

Paris Saint Germain are the best in the league so far this season, and they have recorded most goals and assists in the league. The team have one of the greatest player of all time, Leo Messi. The parisians boss, Christophe Galtier so happy to manage such a big team in Ligue 1 and the players are very much informed. They will definitely lift the the league trophy with ease, through only teams that will put up a fight is Lyon and Marseille but they can't last long for the challenge. PSG are winning the cup 100% that's the level of confidence I have for the team and moreover they're rank first on the table.

There have been a few problems Marseille have had lately. the hectic schedule made the players tired, and several suffered injuries as a result Marseille was difficult to continue their positive trend in Ligue 1. however, the draw against Rennes did not make Marsille lose his ranking.

Unlike the squad made by Galtier, I never doubted SPG to win the title this season. they are much better than all the teams that played in Ligue 1, just look at how they always dominate the game.
Messi has always been a decisive factor for SPG's victory, I'm not talking about how rich the PSG owner is. but more to the PSG players themselves, I hope that at least Galtier is able to bring his squad to the champions league final.

PSG beat Lyon 1-0 away from home. Obviously it was not an easy game for both sides. Of course PSG was the heavy favorite but they struggled to score against Lyon. As such, we can say that we watched an unpleasant match. They won with a goal scored by Messi in 5 minutes.
Lens team is doing very well. They are one of the 3 undefeated teams in 8 weeks. Their next match is against lyon. A decisive and important match for them.

We watched a Paris SG team that struggled but won. Considering that Marseille lost 2 points this week, they left behind a week where they gained 5 points. This week, the league was suspended due to the Nations League matches. Players will have extra rest. Let's see what we will watch in the league matches that will continue later.

[mamesso]

But what I wonder is why only one goal was created by the PSG team while in the PSG team there are so many high-class star players, while in the Olympique Lyon team it is the opposite.

Probably the only reason PSG couldn't score more goals against Lyon is for this reason

Even though Olympique Lyon looked to be playing really well to keep themselves from conceding more goals in that match,

Based on match statistics, PSG really dominated the match despite playing at Lyon home. PSG managed to get 8 Shots On Target and controlled Ball Possession up to 66%. As a result of the strong defense of Lyon, it was difficult for PSG to find additional goals in this match.

The relationship between Neymar and Messi is obvious and with the recent high heightened behaviour of Mbappe, it will  strengthen the relationship the more. Football is cool when played among good players. The 3 are great players no doubt, but I don't know if PSG coach issued an order that when Mbappe makes a run, the ball must be passed to him. If there is no such other, his frustration cannot be justified. Football comes with alot of excitement and entertainment and it is best enjoyed when ego is removed.

Neymar and Messi had years playing together in Barcelona and it is easily for them to reconnect again in PSG. PSG become more dangerous because these players also connect well with Mbappe. They will bring a lot of goals for PSG and they will have too powerful attacking in this season.

That free kick reminds me about a legendary player of Lyon, Juninho. He is a master of free kick and in his career, Juninho scored many unbelievable goals from a similar angle like that one from Messi. The freekick of Messi is beautiful but it is not a goal because the goal keeper of Lyon rejected it.

There was no intrigue regardless of Marseille's results. The chances of PSG winning the title are estimated at 1.04. Even if PSG lose a couple of matches, they won't change much. For example, Bayern, which is now far from the first place, is quoted with odds of 1.14. There is no doubt that we will see a repeat of last season.

from the statistical image that someone gave on his Twitter account it is clear that on the front lines of PSG the most selfish is mbappe. so the problem that galtier and the PSG owner has to solve is how he should get rid of mbappe's ego which is difficult to mingle with messi and neymar. PSG will be unbeaten if these three really come together.

[buwaytress]

PSG signed a contract and gave a very generous salary to Messi not to win Ligue 1. They did all these things for Messi with a demand that Messi should contribute for them and lead them to Champions League trophy. In the first season, Messi failed but we can expect better contribution from Messi in this season and PSG would be a stronger team in Champions League. They will not easily be beaten in this season.

Think that's why they bought every single player since... whenever, no? Same thing with Chelsea, City, well, whoever you name who's overpaid and filled their lineups with stars

Might even be surprising to you to learn that City, Bayern and PSG have been the top 3 favourites in the past 3 editions of Champions League, leaving out Real Madrid every season despite them appearing and winning in finals. Liverpool I always feel are rightly below top 3, despite also making 3/5 finals.

They have best players in the Europe and in general, as whole team, their squads are very strong. I think Manchester City and PSG are stronger than Bayern but we can not under estimate the strength of Bayern. They are more experienced in Champions League and Manchester City, PSG can not compare with them about that.

Yup. Experience counts for Real for sure, it's why I don't fancy City or PSG, they don't know (yet) how to navigate to the end though both are making gains with final appearances. Liverpool, though, doesn't seem to matter how many they've won, or how often they punch at the top, they won't be rated favourites because they never do have an all-conquering star-studded cast.

We watched another match that reminded us that Messi is an alien. He is the best in the world. He has a very high awareness and preferences in the field. Every move is planned and has logic. It's like pressing the pause button during the match and stopping the match. After deciding what to do he presses the play button and continues the match. It's almost as if he's doing something ordinary while doing it. Congratulations to the Lyon team for their excellent defense. They have withstood the pressures and attacks of PSG well. Had it been any other team Messi would have had three goals.

[CLS63]

I agree with the people who say that Mbappe is quite selfish this season. After he has signed his new extraordinary contract extension he has a much bigger ego now. He is acting like he is the manager of the team instead of Galtier from time to time. PSG are tolerating his every action for now but I believe this is wrong. No player is indispensable in football. It is the truth that Mbappe is the most important part of this team. They need him for the Champions League championship.

However if Mbappe continues to act like he owns the team PSG need to take an action to prevent their players from starting to be uncomfortable. The team as a whole are more important than only one player to achieve the Champions League title especially.

How do you play to make someone who earns more than Messi and Neymar combined at that age have less ego? I mean I am not saying it is wrong, of course they should find a way to get him to play together with his teammates, but at the same time they gave him a huge bag to secure him which gave him a ego boost that we haven't seen in any other player before, that's a record number, half a billion dollars give or take at that age.

This is why I understand why he thinks he is the best and doesn't pass. Overtime maybe he will get better, it may take a while but I believe he will get there eventually and when he does it is going to be quite amazing for PSG because they will play even better.

No wonder when Messi can play as he should then there will be a lot of praise to be had, I can't imagine if Messi didn't play well in that game and didn't even score. I'm sure there will be comparisons with other players but it will be stronger to compare him to Ronaldo, of course. But apart from that, I am very happy that Christophe Galtier managed to get Messi to get his best gameplay rhythm under his coaching. Even Christophe Galtier has managed to get Neymar, Mbappe and Messi to regain their chemistry and as such, a performance like this would be great for a Champions League match too of course.

After get agreement extended contract with PSG, Mbappe looks little quite selfish and have bigger ego in this season, faced problem with many players from  Lionel Messi until Neymar. PSG need to build slid team working and not give space for player show their individual skill or their ego can give bad impact for room substitute, here manager and captain team need their decision how to give warning for Mbappe with his attitude.

Football develop by 11 player and if have 1 player ego will broken and make not believing each other again, I think before late PSG need to warn with Mbappe ego however he has made many problem with several player nowadays. Christophe Galtier as manager must be firm with Mbappe's attitude during his time at PSG because he is the manager and has complete control to give warnings to every player.

Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar are a very dangerous trio this season. The chemistry between them is somewhat commendable. They perform all his assists from very difficult angles and when Messi scores, again it is either Neymar or Mbappe who give him the ball. Teamwork is what it's all about. The news of him scoring or assisting gives me peace of mind, which is my main reason for watching Ligue 1. The reemergence of Neymar, Mbappe, and Messi, combined with their great performance, means PSG will be the favourites for the Champions League match as well.
