Ligue 1 problem is with marketing they arent on the level as premier league and they wont come even close to it. England fans are always on stands and their leagues stadiums are always full even the leagues below. PSG is the richest team in the league and the only one so this is why they win the title every year and dont have any competition. While in england premier league a lot of rich clubs and really powerfull clubs.

PSG's goal of buying great and expensive players like messi and neymar is actually to increase the interest of the audience and also investors to be interested in ligue 1 but over time it doesn't seem to work at all. Premier League is the best league in the world and also has the most loyal fans, this is what makes investors interested in Premier League clubs, besides Serie A is also the best after the EPL. btw, if PSG can get the UCL trophy then I'm sure they will make history and make investors see that ligue 1 is a league with potential for the long term.

PSG alone can't do anything for increase of quality in French League here it's time for sports authorities and clubs owners to sit and talk about issues are preventing fans from coming into stadiums, and also they need to work on marketing as well which bring some good investors and sponsors which help them for having better quality and facilities because right now French League is surely one of the most boring leagues in UEFA with dominant by PSG and second place first for Marseille.

All other clubs are struggling badly have no enough funds for bringing quality players there were few hopes from few clubs but in this season these all are down badly and have no good results Lyon is also on decline in quality even they have few good players but still these are not enough for bringing better results in this league.

When you talk about quality of the leagues, ligue 1 is no where close to English Premier league, both in quality of players, quality of coaches, quality and number of titles contested for, the amount of money involved, the viewing rites and so on.
There is also no kind of money France will put in to compete with England,  they will have to beat Bundesliga, Laliga, Serial A before you talk about the mighty and prestigious English Premier league.  But the  first test is to win champions league.

Marseille have had a pretty impressive form since the beginning of the season. They have two more easy matches ahead of them before playing their most important and difficult match in the league against PSG.

These opponents are Angers and Ajaccio. Angers are their opponent up next. Maybe they won their last two league matches but they are way worse than the previous season now. Marseille shouldn't have a big struggle against them. It is the same for Ajaccio and they are in much worse condition now as well. They finally got a win on the 8th week but it was against Brest which are no different than them now. Marseille have started concentrating on the Ligue 1 more than the Champions League. So I expect them not to make any point loss before facing PSG.

English premier league fans so much love to hype their league , i know the premier league is better than the French Ligue 1, and it will take years if the Ligue 1 is ever going to rival it, but i don't think the premier league is a better league than the La Liga, more people may be interested in the premier league, but the La Liga produces stronger teams, and most times they beat the premier league teams when they play against each other in European tournaments.

Don't sound like the premier league is untouchable, it is, even in the last few years the Italian league has been more competitive than it is. Clubs in the Ligue 1 obviously have to do better, and if some of them get interests from rich people that will change the complete team and make them stronger to fight for titles, then in a few years the league may be a different place for the better.

With Marseille's current form, it seems unlikely that any team other than PSG will be able to break their streak. Marseille's opponent in the next match, Angers, is a relatively weak team. However, Angers have returned to form in the last two matches and have played quite well. So Marseille must play carefully in this match. This new match is likely to be a draw. But Ajaccio is the weakest team in the league. Marseille will undoubtedly be able to pick up three points in this match. Marseille has now turned their full attention to Ligue 1 fixtures. And so they don't want to lose their position in the points table very quickly.

Paris Saint Germain's super power in Ligue 1 is unquestionable. We already know that even just mentioning the name Paris Saint Germain can already imagine the luxury they have. Not only about the existing players but also as a whole. I don't think any other team will be able to match the luxury that Paris Saint Germain have now. The only thing they lack is that they still can't give their best in the Champions League.

PSG's failure in round of 16 of the Champions League last season was the worst achievement in PSG's last three seasons in the Champions League. despite having won in Leg 1 of round of 16, but in the end PSG had to be eliminated in leg 2 after get resistance from Madrid and end with 3-2 on aggregate.
This will be the first season for PSG's new coach in the Champions League, Christophe Galtier has the main task of bring PSG not to repeat the same mistakes as last season. Based on PSG's activity in the transfer market this season, they appear to be focus on improving their defense and midfield with the deals of several new players like Vítor Ferreira for example.

The only weakness of PSG when they come to the Champions League, since forming the strongest team in Ligue 1, PSG has not once been able to win the Champions League trophy. Maybe because Ligue 1 is less competitive, PSG have difficulty when facing other strong teams.

They are not weak in Champions League but they just lack of ability to protect advantages, leading goals they had and lost at the ends. It happened in many recent seasons but I believe soon they will be able to fix it. Then they will win Champions League. Chelsea can win Champions League so PSG will be able to win it. Matter of time only.

It's not as simple as "if chelsea managed to win it, then PSG could too". City beats Chelsea in the league all the time, they won EPL so many times in a row now, and I feel like if they could do that, then why not do the same as chelsea did when playing in UCL? It's a different league, and even if you are a good team you could end up losing in Champions league.

I fear that the time for PSG hasn't come yet, maybe City will manage to do it finally with Haaland added, but PSG needs to figure out a way to get rid of Mbappe's selfishness first. You can't be a UCL winning team when one of your players wants the ball at all times and gets angry and gives up when he doesn't get it.

Wonderful mate...all these you wrote was to describe how Laliga is better than EPL . You could be right mate, but I bet you that you are wrong in this. England has the money, they have the fans, the hype and the business. Apart from champions league success where England clubs go to finals and or eliminated in round 8 or 4.
If you are asked to predict who will win Laliga, you will say Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Now, predict who will win Epl. Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United how about Liverpool, not to talk about Chelsea. There are many good clubs in England .

Indeed everything is still possible but the problem for PSG they are always unlucky in the Champions League even though in terms of strength they are a club that should be able to talk more in the Champions League but indeed in terms of experience and readiness maybe they are still not ready for that.
Currently, the Champions League still favors City and PSG, of course, although other big teams in La Liga like Madrid and Barcelona are also big, PSG and City are always the biggest opportunities but still haven't been able to win the Champions League once.

Last season they were unfortunate to face Real Madrid early while they are destroying every team they stand in front of them. Previously, it was Mbappe the one that was shining while the others aren't playing top.
This season is quite different. Messi is doing good, Neymar and Mbappe too. In addition to the reinforcement that was done, I assume they will be a hard challenger for City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It might be true that they were unlucky to have to face Real Madrid early. But I don't think they will be able to get past at least the last 8, because last season almost all the teams that were in the top 8 were favourites. Until now I have not seen a satisfactory performance from Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. This season has been an opportunity for them because now their players are playing better.

PSG will be facing Nice in their next match of Ligue 1 and the odds are very low for them to win 1.16, I don't know if betting on this match can get me anywhere maybe a big score ? Psg hasn't scored more than three goals in a long time, maybe this would be it after players get back from their boring friendlies and nation league matches (you could call them official friendlies too) Nice aren't doing well so PSG could destroy them.

Nice are not doing good at all, 8 points after 8 games if poor
PSG are still leading with twenty two points after eight game's
Neymar and Mbappe are topping the table Neymar has his eyes on the Golden Ball backing Neymar to be anytime scorer

Last season PSG were unlucky because they met Real Madrid and lost in the second leg. I don't think Messi and Neymar are not good, but they can't do much considering the communication between these three strikers is not good enough.

Maybe you are right, Messi and Neymar this season are looking better because there is an increase in performance. Messi admits that this season he was better and last season things were difficult for him. I think this season something great can be expected from PSG, but of course they have to be lucky enough in various knockout match.

In terms of the quality of the game this season PSG I think is much better as well as the players they have so it is very likely that they will be able to go further this season, I think it is very reasonable with the quality they have.
I don't think that PSG's game is optimal and consistent in Ligue 1, I don't think it will have a big impact because on the UCL stage, the tension in the game will be different and it will be much higher.

The match will take place at home to PSG which will certainly encourage PSG to win against Nice. But I don't think PSG will win by many points, because on March 6 PSG had narrowly lost at home to Nice and had drawn in the Coupe de France match on February 1 this year. So PSG will try to win at home against Nice on October 2 in order to stay at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.

Yes they have not been able to fully utilize the potential they have in the squad. They have all the things a team needs, but that's not a guarantee that their game is more optimal.
When talking about the Champions League, of course, it is very much different from Ligue 1. In the Champions League, it can be said that Paris Saint Germain got a real opponent.

Yes, you are right. but last season SPG was not as strong as it is today, as well as the strategies used by the coach then and now are different. currently SPG has strengthened its squad with several new arrivals, it seems, galtier is able to bring his squad much better than last season.

last season messi was not in his best form, this season galtier is able to bring messi to be a key player in every PSG game. messi always contributes to his colleagues, whether neymar or mbappe.
Obviously, currently SPG is a tough contender for other big clubs competing in the champions league.

in group H, PSG and benfica have full points, but they will meet to fight for the 1st place in group H. discussing the quality of PSG, whether it has the potential to win the UCL title this time, I see, as long as the MNM trio can continue to be united, it is not difficult for PSG to win the UCL

in ligue 1, PSG's position is difficult to shift because there is no team that can beat them, so PSG's big target is the UCL because they have never had it

PSG had plenty of star players last season too. However, their performance was not good. This is because the bonding between the players was not strong. Moreover, PSG's match strategy was weak. Due to this, we don't see consistent performances from PSG despite having many star players in the squad.

PSG's performance has changed since Galtier took charge of the team. Galtier tried to solve minor problems within the team while also trying to strengthen the bonding between the players. And he has been quite successful. PSG is a very stable team now.
