French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[asriloni]

Im really sad about what happened with messi in his last match with psg, despite what happened and what he did this player stay a treu legend and he don't deserve such humiliation, also he is not the reason of the club failure in the champoins league because this team is having troubles in this competition even before messi joined the club

Messi has finished his career in french league with so many drama. finally, he was leaving from the club.

I think that i shall remind you if the main target from PSG to bring messi to the french league to help the club in winning UCL. It has become the main target and messi has played in UCL with PSG for two seasons in a row.
So far, there's no good news that achieved by PSG other than always losing to another big club. I do know that if the problem in PSG alredy exist even before messi was coming the club but PSG director was putting all of the hopes to the messi would able to make the club to win UCL.

I guess winning UCL is not easy as bringing the stars player to the club by giving him huge amounts of contract.

It seems like the players are leaving PSG just after the end of the season and Messi is one of them also Sergio Ramos and Neymar also maybe other player leave this team soon because they couldn't get anything when they came to PSG to have a better chance to achieving more goals but in fact, the fans are very much unhappy and this negative effect is one reason for PSG the players to leave.
I think the owner of PSG will be spending more money for next season and they know spending money will not help them achieve anything.
Next season will be much harder for PSG and any coach working on this team.

Right now, we have no confirmed updates about few players even many are already busy for their future work and trying to find better clubs in Arab Leagues and in other leagues as well, but few are already sure like Sergio Ramos, Neymar Jr and Messi are already out of the PSG with in next few days we will have many more updates regarding new coach as well because mostly are predicting now it's José Mourinho who is going to join this club for the UEFA glory even his track record is amazing but still it's never been easy for him to work with here.

PSG management wants to work on quality and good winning unit instead of having many star players which are never been able to perform as consistent winning unit which is a big problem for them in last few years now next season could be challenging as few other clubs are also going to spend good for the improvement.

PSG will not sign a new contract with a very old central defender like Ramos and he is a most likely player to leave Paris.

Messi is a next player because I feel he is not happy in Paris after all. No Champions League and a lot of negative responses from PSG fans against him are enough for him to leave Paris, his contract is over too. Messi might return to Barcelona that is a club in his heart or move to Saudi Arabia where he will receive a highest salary in football history.

Neymar is a most likely player will stay in Paris as PSG can not kick Neymar out if he does not agree to leave. A challenge for Neymar is finding a club that wants to have him and is ready to pay him high salary.

with in next few days we will have many more updates regarding new coach as well because mostly are predicting now it's José Mourinho who is going to join this club for the UEFA glory even his track record is amazing but still it's never been easy for him to work with here.

They can not start a transfer season without a coach as Galtier is not a good one for them. Jose Mourinho did not say about his future and we will need a few days before Mourinho has an important meeting with Roma. After that meeting, we will know Jose decision to stay in Rome or find a new club. If Jose rejects Roma, PSG will have their opportunity to sign with him.

The main goal of Messi's PSG club is to win the UCL trophy. Since they already had Neymar and Mbappe in the team, they wanted to strengthen the attacking department with Lionel Messi but their expectations were not met because they shook up their defense department while strengthening the attacking department and the midfield is not talked about. Winning trophies like UCL will not only require strengthening the attacking department but also ensuring that every position is well positioned which PSG failed to do. This club may have suggested leaving Messi because they cannot play the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League even with such an expansive player in their team.

From now on one of the things I'm curious about the most is what Lens will do next season. I mean especially in the Champions League.    Because Lens appeared in the Champions League only twice in their history - one was in 1990s and the other one was in 2000s. It has been a long time so we can call them inexperienced there.

They need to keep their most valuable players in the team above all else. Fofana and Openda are the names who are really important to the team now. Openda's 21-goal contribution was a big factor helping them reach the Champions League group stage. Moreover they had better reinforce the weakest areas with the right transfers to be ready.

Then maybe they can do something worth watching there and they can even keep being consistent in the Ligue 1 also.

[MAAManda]

It looks like Lacazette's return to the Ligue 1 and his old team Lyon has been beneficial for only himself. Because despite his really impressive fight for being top scorer together with Mbappe, Lyon still couldn't even qualify for the Conference League. It is like I watched Tottenham in the English Premier League. Kane and Lacazette are sharing the same fate for this season I'm afraid.

While Kane was scoring 30 goals and Lacazette also scored 27 goals. They both must be players who are enjoying their own games. But I'm pretty sure that Lacazette also did this to be more competitive and join a European cup at the end. He must have missed to play especially in the Champions League.

But with this level of inconsistency even Lacazette's amazing effort can't save them.

The team will not be able to progress if it only relies on one player, like Lacazette at Lyon and Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur. But even though for next season Lyon will not join any European competition, at least they are better than last season. Everything requires adaptation and process to get better, so, I think the last 2 seasons have been a lesson for Lyon to be able to compete even more in Ligue 1 next season.

expectations were too high for Messi so that when it didn't live up to expectations then he was considered a failure even though actually if you look at his statistics with PSG it wasn't too bad but because he was brought in to be able to become a superstar in the team of course it was a little disappointing but I think considering Messi's age who are not young anymore it is very reasonable.

Messi's departure will not have any effect on PSG in my opinion, in fact this way can make the PSG team more flexible to find a replacement.
Neymar and Mbappe are already very good up front, they just need to find the right partner and also improve the defense sector and also the midfield.
the PSG team is very strong in the French league but on the European stage they are still mediocre and it takes a process and also a longer time for them to be respected on the European stage.

During this season, even though Lens failed to win Ligue 1, Lens managed to become Runner up and the only club in Ligue 1 that competed with PSG. If you look at their last 5 matches, Lens managed to clean sweeps with successive wins without defeat and that indicates that their club is worthy. get into the UCL next season plus they also have the potential to challenge PSG again next season if they keep all the current players and also the coaching manager.

I admit betting for Lens so far I often get wins as well as profits so it doesn't disappoint me while betting in Ligue 1 because so far Lens has performed very well with their best players.

As a footballer, it's always important to feel valued and supported in order to settle down with your family then you truly enjoy your football. Unfortunately, it seems that the Parisian club wasn't able to provide that environment for Messi. Despite having such an expensive player on their team, they consistently underperformed on the UEFA Champions League stage due to poor management and proper maintenance of the department. As you pointed out, their defense was particularly vulnerable throughout the season and they completely underestimate that. This just goes to show that money alone can't guarantee success overnight. It takes a combination of factors, including strong leadership, teamwork, and careful planning to create a winning team at every stage of football tournaments.

I admit that Lens is one of the great teams and can always be relied on in every game but to be honest I can only get a few benefits because I rarely risk it.
Maybe those of you who often follow matches from the French League, especially when Lens is playing, can get a lot of benefits when betting it.
But I myself prefer when those who play PSG are going to bet because it tells me the chances of winning are quite large.

Indeed, Lens is rarely glanced at this season and I was really surprised that their performance was able to beat Marseille and Monaco this season. Lens were promoted to ligue 1 in the 20/21 season and they only needed two seasons to be able to compete at the top of the standings with PSG. Lens' achievements are indeed extraordinary and I think they will surprise Ligue 1 again next season and could even shift PSG from the throne for many seasons. But of all that, it is consistency that will be the key to success and I totally agree with what you said as long as they can maintain their squad then Lens can have a chance to become the next Ligue 1 champion.

Mbappe is a very good and quick player and the star has enough finishing skills. And he has performed well enough for PSG club. Mbappe's contribution behind winning many matches is huge. But despite doing well in PSG club or scoring more goals, this star is not able to shine his career. Because PSG club has always failed to perform well on any big stage. No matter how well a player performs, if his team does not do well in any tournament, then there is no point in playing well from that team. If you change the club and go to a good club, you will see the success of the team and your career will be very bright. Maybe he can earn a lot of money at PSG but he won't get the respect he deserves as a footballer.

Mbappe is indeed a very talented player known for his pace finishing skills and significant contributions to PSG. Admittedly Mbappe individual achievements have been somewhat overshadowed by Paris Saint Germain defeat on the big stage. While player performance matters team success often plays a vital role in shaping a player career and earning them the respect they deserve. A move to a strong and successful club could give Mbappe the chance to showcase his skills on a bigger platform and potentially achieve greater success. Despite the financial benefits of staying at PSG chances of being recognized as a football superstar may require a change of scenery.

Messi's journey in league 1 already ended. Once he was leaving from there and it's not only him but all of his followers will be also following him. It seems like that if league 1 gonna get less exposure for the next season as there was no super star on this league.

Mbappe? he was not as big as messi. Messi has a very big fanbase after CR7. The gone of messi will be also giving huge impact to the PSG. It will be getting less income from merchandise, etc.
The impact that will be given by messi to the PSG is really big. I wonder how PSG will be able to fix it. I see no chance for PSG now to prevent the traffic that already got by its club will be decreasing a lot.

That's why laporta wants messi back again caused by he will able increasing the income from barcelona.

What you like is actually quite natural, because everyone also knows that the strongest team in Ligue1 is PSG, even though Lens has almost matched PSG this season, but in general Lens is still not as strong as PSG. Apart from that, opponents who are too weak are also the reason for most people when they want to bet on matches in Ligue1, because in Ligue1 there are not many strong teams so it's easier to place bets when PSG is playing.

PSG's performances have been very erratic this season. This is why PSG's points gap with Lens was low. Moreover, Lens' performance has been very good this season. The important thing is that Lens has lost only 4 matches this season. On the other hand, PSG has lost 7 matches this season. Lens players played great. And I would say that if Lens can maintain this form next season, Lens has a good chance of winning the title. Because next season PSG's performance is likely to be unstable.

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.

English clubs Manchester United and Chelsea have expressed interest in Neymar and they want to sign Neymar knowing that they will have to pay a fee. And Neymar had a good offer from the Saudi league but he turned it down because he wants to stay in Europe for now. If all goes well, Neymar will be moving to Manchester United very soon.
Mbappe came close to signing a deal with Real Madrid last season but in the end PSG agreed to all his terms and kept him at the club with a huge salary cap. But Mbappe has realized this season that if he doesn't leave PSG, he will never win the UCL trophy and never win the Ballon d'Or. A footballer's dream is to win the Ballon d'Or. I hope this time Mbappe will focus on his career instead of being greedy for money.

Mbappé is a really great player. Mbappe has played a significant role in the success that PSG has achieved so far. In fact, Mbappe is an incredibly fast player. This player has to be praised.

Mbappe is a very good and quick player and the star has enough finishing skills. And he has performed well enough for PSG club. Mbappe's contribution behind winning many matches is huge. But despite doing well in PSG club or scoring more goals, this star is not able to shine his career. Because PSG club has always failed to perform well on any big stage. No matter how well a player performs, if his team does not do well in any tournament, then there is no point in playing well from that team. If you change the club and go to a good club, you will see the success of the team and your career will be very bright. Maybe he can earn a lot of money at PSG but he won't get the respect he deserves as a footballer.

Making money is not an issue. For Mbappe, success is more important. I think he is upset and wants to leave because he couldn't do that in Paris SG. Because Paris SG fails on big stages. Like they were eliminated at UCL this year. Mbappe, on the other hand, showed how hungry he was in the world cup final. Despite losing his team, he finished second in the world, but Mbappe was very upset. Even the top scorer award he received did not make him happy. Maybe that's why he can leave Paris this year.

Betting on PSG even though it has a great chance of winning, but the odds that you get will of course be lower. At least, that is also a matter for consideration and requires us to look for other options to get higher odds. But yes, as long as you are used to and comfortable doing this, then of course there is nothing wrong because after all, in the end you also feel happy with the wins you get for betting on matches played by PSG.

Messi has finished his career in french league with so many drama. finally, he was leaving from the club.

I think that i shall remind you if the main target from PSG to bring messi to the french league to help the club in winning UCL. It has become the main target and messi has played in UCL with PSG for two seasons in a row.
So far, there's no good news that achieved by PSG other than always losing to another big club. I do know that if the problem in PSG alredy exist even before messi was coming the club but PSG director was putting all of the hopes to the messi would able to make the club to win UCL.

I guess winning UCL is not easy as bringing the stars player to the club by giving him huge amounts of contract.

We have reviewed this many times regarding PSG's failure in the Champions League. we review a little, the presence of Messi brings fresh air to the PSG team squad. However, two seasons later with PSG, they were never able to win the trophy that PSG management has always dreamed of. the problem is not with Messi, he has been giving his best especially this season. unfortunately, there was a lot of drama and polemic that happened whether it was in the locker room or other non-technical issues. Now, Messi has left PSG. maybe Neymar will follow, Ramos also seems certain to leave. plus, in the next few days Galtier will be fired as reported by Frabizio Romano.

Now, PSG's new round will begin. unfortunately, again, PSG's management always brings in new players before bringing in a coach. Currently, Marco Asensio and Manuel Ugarte have been confirmed to join PSG. IMO, what PSG did was the same mistake repeated. before they bring in players, PSG should hunt for prospective coaches. however, what the PSG management did was the opposite. should, PSG sack their technical director as well and not just Galtier. plus, Nasser Al Khelaifi doesn't need to get involved in bringing in players.

Now rumors, Julian Nagelsmann is predicted to be the most potential coach candidate. supposedly, before PSG confirms the arrival of players, they first confirm who the coach is. that way, the coach can be fair in selecting players according to the system and his wishes. So, the question is whether Nagelsmann is willing to become a PSG coach.

PSG failed to live up to expectations; they are a major club, and fans expect to see the Parisians lift significant trophies; but, despite being designated Ligue One champions, they lack confidence in competing in top competitions such as the Champions League. I'm more concerned about the Frenchman; he understands what he needs to do to win the Ballon d'Or; he looks for exits and moves to Real Madrid, wins the UCL title, and already possesses the Russia 2018 World Cup in his trophy cabinet, so his odds of winning the Ballon d'Or exceed 80%. Kylian Mbappe shone brighter than any other PSG player, and he's also stringent salary earner in the club and Ligue One.

[shogun47]

expectations were too high for Messi so that when it didn't live up to expectations then he was considered a failure even though actually if you look at his statistics with PSG it wasn't too bad but because he was brought in to be able to become a superstar in the team of course it was a little disappointing but I think considering Messi's age who are not young anymore it is very reasonable.

the PSG team is very strong in the French league but on the European stage they are still mediocre and it takes a process and also a longer time for them to be respected on the European stage.

Could you explain what those expectations were? I saw a Messi who made among the most scorer points in Ligue 1 within one season. What did people expect from him besides being a top scorer? He was brought in to become a superstar? I think a superstar was brought in in order for his team mates to become superstars. He did his job and if anyone expected that he will be as much on fire as he was for Barcelona, I think people don't understand how the business works. Who can expect from Ronaldo that he feels as much passion for Al-Nassr as he felt for Madrid and Manchester United during his first term? This is nonsense and in my opinion Messi did a great job for PSG.
