French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Google+]

It is understood that PSG management's relationship with Messi is not good. In this case, Messi will not extend his contract with PSG. At the same time, PSG management probably won't keep Neymar in the team either. Now I am waiting to see which players PSG will try to bring into the squad. There is no doubt that Mbappe is a talented player. However, depending on only one striker, the performance of the team will not be stable. PSG management needs another experienced striker.

The situation that happened to Messi was quite surprising for Messi fans around the world where this happened at the end of this season even though the competition only had 5 matches left, I think this would have had a pretty bad impact on him even though he able to part ways on good terms and leave PSG after this season ends, but before this season ends, we have seen the situation that occurred between Messi and the PSG management board, which seems to have started to heat up lately.

i believe lionel messi is not happy enough at psg and everything that is given in this season for psg is a manifestation of his love for psg but when leo messi travels to saudi arabia in order to promote tourism where he gets punished from the psg team, which It was pointed out by many that this would be one of the negative options if Messi really wasn't appreciated for the contribution he had made.

PSG have given another chance to Marseille and Lens to enter the title race again maybe but it isn't a big chance of course. The gap with Marseille is still 5 points and not easy to close up. PSG are really unbalanced in Galtier's control but I don't think they would continue to lose so many points in the remaining five weeks in the season.

The chance that owned by marseille is quite small. The problem is if there are only 5 matches remaining in league 1. This is also making the club think so hard about how to win in the next game. Galtier is not able making PSG perform consistently.
PSG was always making blunder but i think that 5 points gap are enough to make PSG win the title this season. it will better if PSG will try to replace galtier for the upcoming season. He is not good anymore to be PSG 's coach.
Some important players will be leaving from the club. Messi will not play in the upcoming match against troyes and ajaccio. I doubt if PSG will able to win easily without messi.

They just don't look like they will declare the league title very early as always. This team needs a change and that change should start with sacking Galtier. I think PSG have already started to think about who they can bring to the job. They had better do so not to miss possible good opportunities.

Agreed, that's what im thinking about PSG now. Sacking galtier and try to hire a good coach to build the team again. PSG owner need to put more effort into over hauling PSG right now.
The club needs to be rebuilt again but to be honest if mbappe was making the environment of club is not friendly for the new player.

It looks like Messi has been offered an enormous deal by Al Hilal. The salary offer is worth more than 400 million euros a year. This would be a really crazy deal for him of course as he can guarantee the rest of his career with this much money. However it doesn't look like he is thinking of leaving Europe yet. Instead his priority seems like joining Barcelona side if possible. Barcelona don't have money issues anymore as it seems. It is said that they are already waiting for seeing if there would be any problem with FFP in case of signing him.

PSG also want him to stay in fact but Messi still rejects their offer. It looks like the offer isn't as good as he wants now.

Going back to Barcelona is never a wise decision, he has taken a good decision but at the wrong timing,  Ronaldo moving back to Manchester United should have taught a large lesson there.
But leaving Paris Saint Germany a club you have contract with to go lookout for another club, I knew Messi would be seen as an angel for this move but no, that's not a good way to go bout things.

But for the fact, Lionel Messi and Neymar Junior should leave Paris Saint Germany already, its the perfect time and right one to leave.

Fans chanting at the entrance of Paris Saint-Germain key player home, Neymar Jr.'s disrespectful gesture constantly demanding him to leave the club. However, the club has issued a warning against the obstinate behavior displayed by these fans. I believe they are frustrated with the club's management and the players' inconsistency. So they're demanding Neymar leave, while Leo Messi is facing a two-week suspension after fleeing to Saudi Arabia without the club's permission. Let's keep an eye on the overall outcome of this.

Lens won a narrow victory when playing away to Toulouse with a score of 0-1. The only goal came in the first half and was scored by Openda in the 33rd minute. Maybe this result is still good enough for Lens to maintain its position in 3rd place in the standings. The gap with Marseille is 1 point remaining and for PSG they are 6 points away, maybe if Lens is consistent enough they can at least secure second place before this season ends and ensure a ticket to next season's UCL without going through the qualifying route. As for Toulouse, they have to stop the winning trend from the previous 3 matches and this result is at least not so bad because they are still safe from the relegation zone.

Now we have just five matches left in this season with next round is important for the both teams as Lens is going to host Marseille if we have Draw then surely this could be advantage for the visitors with they will lead by one point and other four matches are going to be OK with just Lille can create problems for them if they want to end at second spot but in case of Lens win most chances same will happen to them, and we have no chance for the Marseille to be challenge them but here we have one thing as it's match-day performance is always important because many times we have surprises as well but right now as these two are playing most chances this match will be decider who is going to end at second spot.

Messi's unannounced visit to Saudi Arab create good masala for the media with timing is also not good but with this now few things are clear here as I am also feeling Messi and Neymar both are going to leave PSG after end of this season as Neymar can go in any good club like Manchester United or Newcastle United but for the Messi it's still nothing clear because Barcelona is not having clearance from La Liga which is big issue for them just because of this he is trying to secure deal like Cristiano Ronaldo which give him hug salary and good incentives which he deserves as GOAT.

Al-Hilal is surely behind him for long time but can he leave Europe it's still big question because we have not good quality in Saudi Professional League but is money power or still he loves to enjoy his soccer at his best we will have in next few weeks all.

The main problem about Messi and PSG is he didn't tell anything before leaving French for Saudi Arabia and as a professional player he knows he should respect his team that's why PSG punished this player, no matter if you are a superstar player, still you have to respect the team. Regardless of that, I think Messi should leave this team just after the end of this season before he is losing reputation there.

PSG's current condition is really chaotic, even though PSG still has five games remaining this season with five points advantage it already has. And if the five-point distance can be shortened by their rivals at the end of this season due to PSG's internal conditions that are starting to go awry, this will actually be very detrimental to PSG itself and the frustration will continue to grow within the team at the end of the season. So the management from PSG should be able to make the situation and conditions calmer for the time being.

I saw a video of Paris Saint Germany fans leaving the house of Neymar Jr, asking and demanding he should leave the club at the end of the season. Also, he twitted bout same thing saying " They just left my house " it indeed shows he'll be leaving at the end of the season.
Not playing well wouldn't be the issues for me, Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe has one or two beef on the field of play, also the media speculated same thing.

Messi shouldn't make a switch to Barcelona, to the Saudi's I would accept.... But making such moves at this moment is wrong he deserves those sanctions placed on him.

I think PSG team is going to face big problems. Because there is already a news that Lionel Messi is leaving the PSG team. On the other hand, Neymar Jr.'s supporters at his home are strongly agitating to leave the team. If Neymar and Lionel Messi leave PSG then I think PSG will be in big trouble regardless of Kylian Mbappe being in the team.

No one can predict how things will happen but with the remaining schedule I have feeling there is no chance for the Lens and Marseille to challenge PSG for the title race even their performance is not good but still they are able to manage relegation zone teams and also have enough points to secure their title again because I check their schedule they have mostly matches against the weakest sides in Ligue 1 7th May Troyes A, 14 May AC Ajaccio H, 21 May Auxerre A, 28 May Strasbourg A and then 4th June Clermont H from these teams just Clermont is at the 8th spot and with them match is at home winning all matches is not difficult for them even they will play without their star players, but situation is unclear how things are happening in dressing room which is more important, but hopefully all will be clear in next few days.

PSG is still having unlimited money to bring the new players to come to the parc de prince. It will not be a problem for the club. The serious problem may happen with messi. he has not yet found a new club. He may be going to the arabian club after this.

MU has been showing a signal to by neymar if neymar agreed to join with manchester united. Messi is still feeling so difficult to find a new club. Barcelona may become a new home again for him but the problem if messi must have agreed with very big pay cut for his salary. This is also giving financial problem for him in the future. It will be so good if messi will try to accept an offer from al hilal. it will better for his career as he can comeback to the europa anytime.

Messi must think about that. So many players in barcleona didn't even like him to go back again to the club. The internal problem is starting to appear caused by some players are pros and cons with messi.

[Velvet78]

Indeed PSG have already a lot of money so they can bring in new solid players to the team in case of seeing Messi and Neymar leaving the team this summer. But the biggest question is about whether they would be able to create the same chemistry in the attacking line. Because the current trio are getting along with each other in a really good way. They never reflect their personal issues against each other onto the field.

We already know how great each one of them is playing now as well. However Neymar's being injury-prone is another problem for PSG while they are dealing with Messi about a new contract. Maybe starting off with a clean slate might also be good for the team but let's see.

@LordShanken I don’t think that PSG will be in any trouble because once these two depart then the club will save huge amounts of money in the form of fees that they used to pay to these two superstars and that money can easily be reinvested in purchasing other player’s. Furthermore there’s a rumour that PSG will focus more on young French player’s and stop spending on getting star player’s however there’s no official word from the club on this so it’s hearsay for now.

[Oneandpure]

Lionel Messi suspended two weeks later and absent for upcoming two matches against Troyes and Ajaccio, its seems bad about Lionel Messi attitude as professional and best FIFA player because he can't give best role model for other players. Understandable with PSG suspended Lionel Messi two games later and he can't join training with PSG squad due he don't get permission going to Saudi Arabia.

Indeed Lionel Messi not extended contract with PSG, seems he not respect contract left with PSG for two months later, I don't think what happen later after two weeks suspended will PSG give him chance for playing or will suspend until the end of this season.

In today's match in the French Soccer League, PSG vs Lorient, these two teams came to the field to play. In this match, Lorient played very well. Lorient beat PSG team by scoring 3 goals. But I think PSG tried hard to play well. But PSG team player A.  Hakimi got 1 red card in 20 minutes. I thought the game was going to be a hard fought game between the two teams. A.  PSG team became very weak after getting Hakimi red cards. The PSG team had to lose the match so badly because of the wrong play of the team. Starting from the goalkeeper of the Lorient team, all the other players played very well in the match. That is why the Lorient team won so easily.

indeed we will not be able to predict what will happen but if we look at the rest of the matches, PSG dominates the first place this season and Marseille + Lens have no more chance to catch up with PSG's points.
I'm sure PSG players can manage all of this so that they can't be replaced by Marseille and will give a good performance in the upcoming matches. even though in the upcoming match PSG will meet a weak team like you said. but there is no guarantee that a weak team cannot beat PSG because sometimes surprises always exist in the world of football.

and I will not think negatively about all of this but I prefer to think positively and believe that PSG will maintain its position in first place.

[Doell]

Nice ! Brest position is better, after winning against Nantes with a score of 2-0, now Brest have a good record in their last six matches. Considering that the gap in points with team which are currently in the relegation zone is not too far, Brest must return to satisfactory results in next match later, but they will face a more difficult team in the next match. Lorient, previously success win vs PSG, might be motivated to win again next, so it might be difficult for Brest to get points at home Lorient. But I hope Brest will continue their positive trend, because anyway also Lorient not very consistent.

[hahay]

On matchday 34 there will be a very interesting match I think, that is the match between Lens against Marseille, because at this moment Lens and Marseille are fighting for second place. Because, if they finish in second place, it will make the team get a Champions League ticket next season without going through the qualification stage again.

Apart from that, Lens is by far the best team for home matches because Lens is the only team that has only had one home defeat. But so is Marseille, because Marseille is the best team for away matches, because so far this season Marseille is the only team that has only had one away defeat.

Therefore, the competition that occurred between Lens and Marseille at this moment both of them are having a good record this season and also, if Marseille manages to win then maybe it will make Marseille lock in second place. It will be interesting to wait, because it looks like a draw could happen because both of them will certainly try as hard as they can.

As a capital team, PSG are always required to continue to be able to get maximum results by their fans, but the actions of these individuals are indeed out of control and it is a wrong action. Especially when he came to the house of one of his players, in this case, Neymar, who was affected by the anger of the fans. Of course, this is very impolite, if they want to protest or demonstrate, they should go directly to the PSG office or related internal affairs, instead of attacking players who defend the club. I hope the fans of other clubs will never follow the example of what the PSG fans have done, it's very embarrassing. Regarding Messi, maybe we are just waiting for the time until there will be clarification directly from the party concerned, here Messi's role is needed to provide further clarification.
