French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[alpamar99]

Messi again booed by the French public in Paris. And he has already announced through management that he will no longer be staying in Paris. He couldn't do anything right anyway. So you see the power of Social Media and how much influence the fans have on a team. Nothing really worked out at PSG this season, and even the national title was actually still the question of whether it would all work out for a while. But no cup and no CL. What would be the next steps in the process of getting PSG better? And how will they cope with Messi's departure?

It's a shame when he was originally hailed as a villain now. Expectations that are too high about Messi's presence must be paid for with hope that vanishes as if only he has failed, even though in this case we are of course aware that there are many gaps in PSG, not only about Messi.
On the other hand, the media is clearly targeting this because of course they want to lead so that the news continues to exist and they continue to get new things to make headlines.

How can you say that Messi doesn't play a big role at PSG? It is unfair to him after seeing his high effort for two seasons. Especially this season he has been much more impressive. He has made a big contribution by scoring goals and making assists. I don't understand PSG fans sometimes. While they need to thank him for his services they are booing him instead.

This is a disrespectful attitude against a player who has done his best for the team so far. If he didn't even try and stayed below expectations then it would have been normal. But despite playing for only one team for long years and being in need of adapting to a completely new team all of a sudden, he has still done a great job.

PSG won the league but I think I think the teams in not happy at all because they didn't reach the goal they wanted to reach.
PSG bought many superstar players and they spend too much money to keep players like Mbappr the reason for spending all this money was mostly because they wanted to achieve something in the Champions League otherwise for winning the French League they didn't need this much investment.

[Leviathan.007]

The most interesting part of this season in the French League was Monaco because they didn't start the season well and had some mistakes in beginning the road but in a few weeks they were even in second place in the table and they could even be first place and win the title, at the end, of this season by the failed and again in the last weeks of the season they couldn't have the same performance and that's why they are in 6th place of the table.

[LUCKMCFLY]

It doesn't feel like we are getting closer to celebrating the Ligue 1 title this season with PSG. After all, PSG will not waste this opportunity to immediately close the season with the certainty of a trophy in the near future. Auxerre is not a difficult opponent for PSG, moreover Auxerre's position is now at the bottom and only one position away from the relegation zone this season. It's an easy game for PSG and it looks like if we bet on a win PSG will certainly make easy money. Not too confused by predictions, what is certain is that PSG will win this match with at least 3 goals.

PSG is not immune again losing to Auxereer in their meeting because they will be fighting with a different spirit. I know how it used to be when a club is fighting to escape relegation and Auxereer is caught up in this condition.

After being criticized a lot about their performance this time in terms of statistics they have been very good in the last 5 matches and even their victory with more than one goal indicates that they are back on track this time.
It's only possible that Auxerre will try to hold this match to a draw but of course it won't be easy with their current condition.

We all consider PSG a difficult team to lose, but obviously they are not immune to it , I know they have the best players in the world and they have a lot of quality in their plays, but still in Fútbol if you don't score a goal they score a goal and that is what should not be allowed, as far as I'm concerned I think that things at PSG should be fixed, not leaving the good players, not even Neymar, because they are weapons that he needs to play at any time that the game is lost, this type of player can solve a game due to his good level of football and that is Something that they have to realize, of course everything depends on the type of game that the coach wants to Implement.

The most interesting part of this season in the French League was Monaco because they didn't start the season well and had some mistakes in beginning the road but in a few weeks they were even in second place in the table and they could even be first place and win the title, at the end, of this season by the failed and again in the last weeks of the season they couldn't have the same performance and that's why they are in 6th place of the table.

For me, Monaco was one of the teams that disappointed me the most, I had a lot of faith in them like Marseille, Lille, which were the teams that at one point made us see that they could beat PSG, I say beat because at that moment when the game started During the season the most mounegroups in football were there, like Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, the trident of death, but they still couldn't do much, just win LIgue 1, however I believe that everyone here can do their part, Marseilles helped me I liked how it ended, if they continue like this I think they can make the league grow in level and they can give a better fight for the next season.

Official | Philippe Clement has been sacked as Monaco manager

AS Monaco have confirmed the departure of Philippe Clement after the club failed to qualify for European competition next season.

Clement joined the club back in January 2022 and led the club to the Champions League play-offs last season. However, the club ultimately failed to qualify for the group stages of the competition before making a disappointing exit at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in the first knockout round of the Europa League.

Despite the club’s struggles in Europe, Monaco were in the top five in Ligue 1 for the vast majority of the season, which would have guaranteed another European qualification for next season. However, with just one win in their last seven matches, the Principality club slumped to sixth, and therefore miss out on any form of European football for next season.

Rumors are now that Julian Nagelsmann, former Bayern Munich coach, is in talks with PSG about a contract. Not less interesting is that Henry is maybe supposed to become his co-coach, which would be an interesting combination of a very ambitious coach together with a player who has a long lasting history as a professional player on the highest level. Maybe this is exactly what PSG needs to make some progress finally. Galtier's days are certainly over.

Meanwhile, Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi have officially left PSG. Now is the time to see what kind of new players PSG will add to the squad next. Because adding Neymar Jr. and Lionel Messi to the team did not make much of a profit for PSG.

messi does not play an important role at PSG, even though we don't know the certainty of this news, everyone can't accept Messi's poor performance at PSG yesterday. on the one hand PSG also still has Mbappe who is a superior player who can give PSG a good name in the summer.
PSG belief that Messi will actually be released will also be better and replaced with other players who are more useful in reaching the cup in the summer which PSG really wants in the summer and the target of being the best team in the standings.

Messi: the greatest footballer of all time. But the cold hard fact is that his hypnotic allure at PSG is dwindling. It's like watching your favourite band play their old songs mechanically, without any of the feeling you remember from the original performances. That must hurt, right?

To pause for a second, Messi is not in a slump at all if you look at the numbers. He is one of the league's best scorers. But we don't seem to be getting those jaw-dropping shows anymore, do we? Is Messi moving into a supporting role? Is the unrelenting passage of time finally catching up with you?

Nonetheless, the atmosphere at PSG isn't all grey. Mbappe, a young star with bright prospects, is their ace in the hole. It's possible that he's the saviour that PSG desperately needs. Is it time for a new wizard to take the stage if Messi's spell is fading?

The main reason psg won't be happy is champions league they couldn't achieve.  The main reason for getting all this big players was to win the Champions league, but still it was impossible for them to achieve it. Apart from the Champions, even in French league psg performance this season was not very impressive.

I was watching this news at Fabrizio Romano tiktok account that in the near future Julian Nagelsmann will being an new manager of PSG and apparently the management has decide to sacked Galtier because he was failed reach the target to get champion league trophy and actually this news is predictable before because after PSG lose from Bayern at round of 16 champion league many people rumoured Galtier position will be replaced by other coach at the end of season

But it's became unpredictable because before this news appears PSG has been linked to Zinedine Zidan or Luis Enrique and i think nobody thought Nagelsmann will take this position and about the assistant it is confirmed Thierry Henry will take the position and this could be a perfect duo because Nagelsmann as young talented manager and Thierry Henry as great player and the legend of Arsenal

I so think that Nagelsmann is somehow cool and humble to handle PSG job. PSG is a club that attracts the eyes of many people due to the calibre of players that play in the club. Sometimes it is also difficult to manage high profile players when they are together in one club, just like what happened in PSG last season.
I really don't know why Bayern Munich dismissed Nagelsmann, but I know it is far from non performance. I pray he shouldn't enter into same trap in PSG. I love Nagelsmann and I really wish he can go to a cool club void of controversies.

The PSG team has been trying so hard for so long to do something great in the Champions League. But the team is failing again and again. It remains to be seen how the team will fare next season. Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos have already officially announced their departure from PSG.

For me personally, just being champions in Ligue 1 is not enough for Paris Saint Germain, because here they really dominate and no team has the same strength as them. They are far superior in any way than any other team. The Champions League should be a place for them, but in reality their luxurious squad cannot speak much in that competition. They are less competitive than other big teams in the Champions League.

[makishart]

angers, troyes, ajaccio must be willing to go down to ligue 2 because until the last matchday they were only able to be in the bottom 3rd place and were officially relegated. in other matches, toulouse successfully won 2-1 over monaco and this made them rightfully ranked 13th with 48 points (congratulations to toulouse because they successfully competed in the european league).

you forgot to add auxerre caused by we will have 4 teams to be relegated to the lower decision. You can add auxerre as the last team that will be relegated soon. Nantes surprisingly makes its come back and stay in bundesliga next season while auxerre must let nantes to take its position before caused by auxerre was losing against lens.

Glad to see that if will get some clubs from league 2 promoted to the league 1 next season.

Le Havre have booked their ticket for next season’s Ligue 1

If I want to say something about PSG team, PSG team will secure the title of League One this year as well. However, I have not heard any news of Neymar Jr. whether he is leaving the team or staying again.

The news is that if Julian Nagelsmann gets the job as PSG coach, Henry would join him as an assistant coach. While some of my friends are not in support of this because they think that it is a terrible idea to Nagelsmann and Henry fix the problem at PSG because the two of them have no achievements under their belts. Others think that it would be the best hiring decision PSG management would ever make because Nagelsmann has the German mentality, which is already an advantage. In my estimation, whatever decision they take, they should focus on buying young players who are hungry for titles and trophies. No more relying on the crutches of the sport.

Winning the France League title is a regular occurrence for PSG but their main target is the Champions League trophy which they have so far failed to win. They kept players like Mbappe and signed big name players like Messi to their club only to win Champions League trophy but to no avail. The team was eliminated early in the Champions League after losing to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.  Until now they believed that they can win the Champions League trophy but now they may not have that belief because Lionel Messi has left the club, Neymar may leave PSG and Mbappe is likely to be signed by Real Madrid. Sergio Ramos may join the Saudi League. If these key players of the team are gone, it will be difficult for them to win the league title.

I don't know if Neymar can find himself a team in Europe at the moment. His contract expires in 2025 so interested teams have to pay a transfer fee as well. The reason why I stated it is that his market value is still 70 million euros. Of course PSG wouldn't demand that much for a 31-year-old player. But I wouldn't expect them to demand less than 40-50 million euros anyway. Moreover as far as I know his current salary is 36 million euros per year which is an enormous sum.

I don't know if there would still be a team to be okay for meeting all these demands. Hence I expect him to stay here for a long time unless he gets an offer from outside Europe. As for Mbappe I don't expect him to leave this summer either. But for next season it is doubtful. If PSG fail in winning the CL title again then maybe we might see him at Real Madrid right after that.

If Nagelsmann agrees with Paris Saint Germain, I think he will make a difference. But it's not an easy task for him to stabilize Paris Saint Germain, after they will be left behind by many players. But on the other hand it will be an advantage for him, because he can bring in as many players as he wants, because if they are left out many players are certain they will leave many vacant positions. But let's just enjoy this rumour.

Despite regular victories in the French league PSG pursuit of the Champions League trophy has been frustrating. Signing a player like Messi and keeping a talent like Mbappe is seen as crucial to their European ambitions. However Messi recent departure the possible departures of Neymar and Mbappe and Ramos potential move to the Saudi league have all created uncertainty over PSG ambitions. Losing these key players will undoubtedly dent their chances of success especially in the Champions League. Paris Saint Germain will face an uphill battle but there are teams in football that have overcome similar challenges. They will have to restructure strengthen their roster and find new ways to achieve their goals using their resources and global appeal to attract new talent. It is too early to underestimate PSG determination and resilience as they are capable of competing at the highest level and there is no doubt they will.
