French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[QueenVera]

A difficult match for PSG in League 1 is when they play against clubs that challenge them at the start, but in the end the clubs that challenge PSG over time will start to lose when they have to compete with PSG, which has better squad depth when compared to other clubs. I don't think there is any club that can win throughout the season without losing because throughout the season there are long matches, especially PSG always has a busier schedule compared to other clubs in League 1 because PSG always competes in the Champions League every season.

Every league definitely has competitors, but sometimes every league has a club that always dominates the title, such as the Bundesliga which is dominated by Bayern Munich, La Liga which is dominated by Real Madrid, the Italian Serie A League which is dominated by Juventus, but it seems like only the Bundesliga and League 1 are dominated it's too boring compared to other leagues such as the English League, La Liga, Serie A League because there are many clubs that enjoy the title, making the league more competitive and exciting every season, while PSG League 1 has won the title in the last few seasons so it looks boring.

PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen.

 They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals.

There's something called levels when it involves football, there are different leagues in the world of football but only several have become chosen to be top and competitive, these leagues are not build today but in decades and beyond. How is it the French football authorities fault that their league is dormant and not improving. You're right though, Seria A and Bundesliga are better than Ligue One over these past years and they will continue to be, there's no level of top competition these French clubs can boosts of winning other than getting eliminated in the early stages.

Sometimes ago I did mentioned in one of my post that the Ligue 1 is becoming so boring such that it could be classified as one of the mediocre league across Europe because you don't find any competition there, there's nothing to keep you intrigued enough to drag your attention to the league and the only team which brings a few attention to the league is PSG.

The french authorities seem not to have noticed this well enough, this season has been one of the most interesting season across Europe as a good level of tension can be seen across all the leagues in Europe except for the Ligue one where PSG continually dominate even up until this season similar case was seen in the bundesliga before but now it quiet different as this season the dominant team is literally working hard to get to the top of the standing but Ligue 1 continually makes it so easy for PSG they they go up and down the stands at will literally.

[tusandii]

That is the biggest problem PSG has. They don't have financial issues and they had some coaches that were not too bad, but the average competition in their domestic league makes it hard for them to peak at the right moment when they play in the Champions League. Premier League teams have to peak almost every week and in La Liga it is at least more often than it is in Ligue 1. In Ligue 1 PSG really has to peak every few weeks, if at all. They could play at 90% the whole season and still win the title easily.

A club that's 100% balance when it involves finances and the president is not ready to watch his club fold up other than generating quite enormous profits. PSG always comes first when it involves winning Ligue One trophy but I don't think they would be able to compete in UCL because it's an elite competition formulate only for tougher clubs that are craving for extreme titles. They always have this issues of appointing mediocre coach, incompetent coach that doesn't stand in any solid position to elevate the club to next level. They have Luis Enrique as headcoach, he will do more better than the previous manager.

Maybe Luis Enrique could have won the UCL if he had the squad of Messi-Neymar-Mbappe trio. I think PSG fans must also think that they are working with bad coaches in this regard. At that time, there was no other team in the world that had the squad they had. They were the best squad on paper and looked even stronger than City. However, coaches and team balance may change. I think that's exactly what happened.

I also feel, but I have one more thing if PSG Management gives some time to Luis Enrique and also players which heeded then I have feeling he still can win this Champions League because just having big players never been guaranteed to win trophies you can achieve this without many big stars on just behalf of quality and performance of the players and Luis Enrique is having ability to bring things like these as he is well reputed coach and have good experience with quality as well.

From here now time for them to keep faith and give good time which help him for creating good strategy and other fundamentals which helps the players for better mutual understanding and chemistry which is important for the win like we have in current Real Madrid which is doing impressive job.

Talking about winning the Champions League title, PSG could win it provided they retain their coach for several seasons to read how the right strategy can compete and win against other strong clubs in the Champions League, but if this season fails and fires the coach again, I'm sure there is no chance for PSG. winning the champions league trophy because the coach has a big influence on the performance of a club.
But I actually have doubts about Enrique, even though several people, even PSG management, believe in him and give him the opportunity to take his club to the Champions League final round. I still doubt him because looking at history, experience is not convincing, but if Galtier is retained, I am sure that Galtier can bring PSG to lifting the champions league trophy.
Right now all we can do is try to believe despite our doubts and see how strongly the management maintains the coach and how smart Enrique can bring PSG to higher achievements.

[Blitzboy]

But this is not the whole truth. Winning the Champions League isn't easy and just look how long it took Manchester City to finally win the Champions League. Pep Guardiola has been the coach since 2016 and it took them seven attempts to finally win it. There is money needed, luck needed, high quality players needed and so on and so forth. PSG did achieve something on the domestic level and they made it into the final once as well. But they never had a coach who understood how to develop a team for many years.

The sheikhs don't necessarily have to understand a lot about football as they can hire their managers, which is what they do. But money can make a big difference if all the rest is taken care of, too. That is why it worked for Manchester City and they could establish themselves as the best team in the Premier League despite all the fierce competition.

Well Winning the UCL requires a different tactics because it’s so different from most domestic leagues and we can see from ManCity. Winning the UCL requires experience, massive investments that could last a good time. PSG needs not just the investment but also fierce competition in their league, else they’ll still remain inferior when competing with several top clubs in Europe.

 They can get a good manager but when the team is still playing on average in the league, then they’ll not know the full potential of themselves to be able to compete in Europe. Well hopefully more foreign investors would come investing in the Ligue 1 to make it more tougher and competitive compared to other top European leagues, however I still have this believe that with Luis Enrique they could manage to reach the semifinals in this season's tournament.

That is the biggest problem PSG has. They don't have financial issues and they had some coaches that were not too bad, but the average competition in their domestic league makes it hard for them to peak at the right moment when they play in the Champions League. Premier League teams have to peak almost every week and in La Liga it is at least more often than it is in Ligue 1. In Ligue 1 PSG really has to peak every few weeks, if at all. They could play at 90% the whole season and still win the title easily.

I've considered PSG's situation, and their financial strength is a double-edged sword. On one hand, they can afford top-tier talent and managers like Luis Enrique, which should prepare them for Champions League victory. They dominate Ligue 1, but it hurts them. Without regular high-level domestic competition, they're not challenged. Their lack of challenge in their domestic league makes them unprepared for UCL battles. Top athletes training without competition may be excellent, but are they Champions League good? PSG needs regular high challenges to succeed in Europe.

Right now all we can do is try to believe despite our doubts and see how strongly the management maintains the coach and how smart Enrique can bring PSG to higher achievements.

So you think that all they have to do is to keep their coach for a while and then they can win the Champions League? Honestly you can't be serious about that. Laurent Blanc tried and failed, Unai Emery tried and failed, Thomas Tuchel tried and failed, Christophe Galtier tried and failed, Mauricio Pochettino tried and failed and now I am sure Luis Enrique will also fail. If it was that easy that they just have to stick to their choice and let Enrique work for several years and then win the Champions League, they would have done it before. But it doesn't work like that. This PSG team has less quality than some of the PSG teams from the past. There chances aren't very high and Enrique can't change anything about it. 

[bitgolden]

It's rare that I see Clermont being in the relegation zone half way through the season and they continue to get bad results in the last 6 games without a win. Even though last season they managed to finish in 8th position in the standings and now they have turned around sharply and are at the bottom of the standings. What they are missing is something they have to solve and must fix immediately because the rest of the season will be very tight for the weak teams at the bottom.

If we look at the competition, there is only a difference of around two points between the teams and Clermont needs at least 6 points if they want to immediately escape the relegation zone. That means they need 2 wins and 2 losses for the team above them. It looks like it will be quite difficult for Clermont and this season just not being relegated is quite an achievement for them. Well, their next match is against Nantes and I think they have to start winning through that match.

To be fair, they weren't really that good to be 8th last season neither, they just had a few lucky streaks that got them there, normally even when they finished 8th, if they finished it 13th we wouldn't have been shocked would we? That would have been realistic.

On top of that, we have seen them do not that great this season and looking at their roster we could see why, it wasn't really meant to be and they are doing not so great, which does result with them not getting the attention that they deserve, so it will definitely cause a lot of problems for them. I believe that they will be relegated, but their roster is good enough to comeback, so depending on what they do this summer, it shouldn't take more than a year for them to come back.

[piebeyb]

For a coach to be able to build a team, he needs more time than one season. PSG had the best coaches, but they were simply not given the time to achieve results. Will Enrique be able to achieve this goal, definitely yes, with proper funding and enough time it will only be a matter of time.

It's not easy to build a strong team in one season even though there are several coaches who can do it, perhaps because communication with the players is very close so that there is a match in carrying out the strategy given by the coach to each player. There is a point in giving Enrique time to make PSG performed better even though his quality was at stake in the UCL matches this season.

Even if in the end it fails, Enrique will at least succeed in making PSG qualify for the next round which will make them perform much better than last season, PSG still has a long way to go and Enrique seems to need more time to make the PSG team stronger and ready to compete in the competition. UCL next season will be able to show a better game compared to the domestic league which is so dominated by them.

[boltz]

Somehow Lion managed to finish above relegation zone but I think they will have the same attitude in 2nd half of the season where they will fight again in the lower part of the Ligue 1.

Meanwhile , PSG is locked to be champions this year and I think they will have more than 15 points in front of the 2nd place by the end of the season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

PSG has been rumored to be targeting several talented players in the transfer market which will soon open. So this will have an impact on their performance in the future. Some of them are Lucas Beraldo, a young defender who is quite potential and talented at the moment. There is also Moscardo, even Casemiro is also rumored. What is true is, as you said, that PSG needs several new, more reliable players in each line. PSG may currently be quite strong on the front line, but not in other lines.

I love the way the PSG team management is handling the club because with there target and planning they have for PSG the club will be so strong that every other team will be scared of them whenever they meet them, because just like you said if they eventually sign more players during the transfer window it will greatly enhance PSG performance in such a way that all there leagues next season will be very easy for them. And also I believe that there are more good things installed for PSG by there management because with the kind of money the club has they will make sure they eradicate any chances that will make PSG to lose any matches from next season.

Well this is something Necessary that needs to be done because Practically things when it comes to PSG or the first thing that comes to mind is Mbappé , because he is a very emblematic player, it is stated that he can go to Madrid , so they have to do whatever thing for them to replace him at PSG, they cannot be left without anything , so this is why Luis Enrique has to move from looking for very good players, because the hole that Mbappé will leave will be big , Although seeing it well from the point of view that at PSG things can get ugly for them , but the article that I saw the other day that Mbappé Wanted and asked to stay at least in this Transfer window in January at PSG, the reason? I don't know, because they didn't give many references of the 'WHY', but it is something that can be quite difficult to analyze, now from what has been seen in the News because things are different, some say that Madrid wants it, others They say he won't Leave, I don't really know, but it would be better for him to go to a team where his ego doesn't clash with the others, because he is a Somewhat Complicated Player.

But the spectacles come and go in This Ligue 1 , from what I have seen things can go very favorably, because the sheikh does not want to let his team go down and since I know that PSG is the most emblematic team in France for all its relevance, even less so, of course this is what I am speculating, but really Luis Enrique will have a Difficult time so that the team can have the same performance as Always , I in particular was very worried and would hire really good players make me go very far in the championship, this is something obvious, but of course this is what I think, they must do many things that can be tied that are more immediate within the team that only Luis Enrique knows About, but it could be said that they are different from What we could only imagine , but Mbapé will be a hard blow.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner wants to focus on the second half of the season with Paris, determined to compete for all available titles. Additionally, Romano says that PSG and all other parties believe nothing will transpire concerning Mbappé this January.

    | Kylian Mbappé is NOT expected to decide his future during the January transfer window and he is not expected to leave PSG in January either. The Frenchman is focusing on the second part of the season with Paris and to fight for all the titles.

Meanwhile , PSG is locked to be champions this year and I think they will have more than 15 points in front of the 2nd place by the end of the season.

I am very happy for Lyon, because they are a team that is giving everything, it is difficult, because falling to so much relegation is something hard, but the good thing is that they did not fall in the 2nd, that is something very sad, For that reason we as fans must see that there is always a lot of apparent effort in every team, things cannot look so easy, in itself Ligue 1 because from what I see it will be completely dominated by a PSG that even though it no longer has its main stars, because it continues to give a lot to talk about, there is no team that can stand up to them, and it is truly a shame, because3 I had faith and hope about Marseille, Lille, but they are teams that still do not have the Sufficient level to face PSG, suddenly I have the expectation of what will happen with Mbappé? On the one hand, he has a Madrid that gave him some time, but a reasonable amount of time for him to say no, so I don't know if they did it as a way to keep a word or something, knowing that they don't really want him, I don't know if Florentino's plans will be to bring in a Haaland who is much better in my opinion than Mbappé himself.

Now, when things are this good, it is always different to highlight them when it comes to players and teams like PSG. In an article I had seen that things with Mbappé were different because the player always did what he wanted on the team. , but this time he didn't want to leave in JANUARY, the reason? I don't know, but it's what I read, in this order of ideas many things can come to mind, it could be that now the player is focused only on doing certain things, certain activities to consider himself as the best he has until now in Ligue 1 and he likes his fame there, and doesn't want to leave, but I have been seeing that things are very focused on the fact that things should be done better.

Real Madrid’s incoming Kylian Mbappé contract offer – wages, expiry date & more

An insight into the contract offer being readied by the Real Madrid hierarchy for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé has been provided.

The info comes courtesy of Marca, who have reiterated that Real will imminently make a fresh approach for Mbappé.

Unlike last year, when Los Blancos were left red-faced by the French international, though, on this occasion, they do not intend to wait around.

Instead, on January 1 – from which date Mbappé will be free to pen a pre-contract with any club he chooses – Florentino Pérez and co. will send their latest, and final proposal to the 25-year-old.

As per Marca, this will consist of precisely the same terms that were offered back in the summer of 2022.

Specifically, it will be made up of a massive €130 million signing-on fee, alongside wages of €26 million net per year.

Mbappé, for his part, will then have two weeks to issue an official response.

I would say that if Luis Enrique had got PSG's previous year's squad, he could have  brought PSG the Champions  League. PSG management had a lot of bad decisions. Over the past  few seasons, the Stars have brought in some of the  best players in the world in their  squad. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe were in their attack. But  their coach was not experienced enough. So  the coach could not help much to  strengthen the bonding between the players.

PSG should offer Luis Enrique  big funds in the winter transfer  window and give him the freedom to  build his squad as he wishes. PSG  should rely on Luis Enrique. Enrique  is one of the best coaches in the  world. He is experienced enough. He might be able to dominate the Champions League if he can form a squad with the players of his choice.

We agree with what you said, if Luis Enrique had a squad like last season. plus, he also brought in several players, especially players for the team's needs. PSG will be much stronger in the hands of a competent coach, and has the potential to bring a strong team to win many trophies. but unfortunately, IMO, it seems like most PSG coaches don't have the capacity to bring in some of the players they want for the team's needs. I also suspect that Galtier doesn't have many choices in selecting the players recruited by PSG management. it would be very natural if Galtier had difficulty finding a suitable formula for his squad at that time, especially for PSG's midfield.

Now, PSG is handled by Enrique and the PSG mega project is no longer being continued. Messi left, Neymar left, and several other players left PSG. however, it seems that currently PSG is starting with a new philosophy. they prioritized several young players, and built an even stronger foundation under the guidance of Luie Enrique. talking about Enrique at the moment, I don't really know which players he has brought in since managing PSG. however, it seems that club management still prioritizes their interests and desires.  If, Enrique is given the freedom to bring in the players he really wants. at least PSG can perform much better, as well as in the Champions League. this season, it seems their target is only to win the Ligue 1 trophy and advance as best they can in the Champions League. for Ligue 1, I have no doubts about how PSG will defend the title for the umpteenth time. but for the Champions League, if PSG were able to advance to the last eight, that would be far more sufficient with the current squad.

[marcous]

I've considered PSG's situation, and their financial strength is a double-edged sword. On one hand, they can afford top-tier talent and managers like Luis Enrique, which should prepare them for Champions League victory. They dominate Ligue 1, but it hurts them. Without regular high-level domestic competition, they're not challenged. Their lack of challenge in their domestic league makes them unprepared for UCL battles. Top athletes training without competition may be excellent, but are they Champions League good? PSG needs regular high challenges to succeed in Europe.

This means that Ligue 1 must be more competitive in the future, the level of competition must be tighter, and not just one or two clubs can suppress PSG dominance. So that in the end PSG develops to be better and has bargaining value when playing in the UCL. I think the essence of this scenario will focus on finances, where the budget strength of PSG rival clubs must be comparable, or let's say close to PSG current finances.

Because it is very difficult for any team to create consistent performance by only relying on existing players, or even having to take advantage of the promotion route for young players to compete with PSG. That is the fact that happened and we see it now, so it is not surprising that PSG, which has all the resources in its squad, is unable to compete when playing in the UCL.

I really agree with that competitive background, a very reasonable reason. If we look at other facts, PSG is ranked 4th as the club with the most expensive squad at the moment, but they are difficulty to even get through the group phase. But I'm still optimistic that they can win the UCL one day, Who knows, their luck will come in the next few seasons.

The competitiveness of Ligue 1 isn't dependent on just a team been able to win PSG and probably get to the top of the standings, Nice actually got to the top of the standing at some point this season but the competition will come in if other teams are able to put up a struggle to the top while PSG will literally have to struggle along side as seen in the bundesliga.

It becomes interesting when there are more than two team struggling to getting to the top and even the giant of the league literally have to struggle, if other teams in the premier league can literally come up strategically to put an end to the era of dominance by PSG then you will see the birth of competition amongst teams in the Ligue because at that point every team will want to believe it's possible to get to the top so all their focus will be on getting their not minding who has always been there just like Girona is doing in the la Liga as against Madrid and Barcelona.

Last year there were players like Messi and Neymar playing for PSG. And as we all know, Luis Enrique has a better understanding of Messi and what he needs to provide Messi to make a team succeed., since he has managed Messi for a long time and won the Uefa Champions League with him. But then again, he had one of the best squads in Barcelona, and he did not win it every season. This league is the league of the champions, and beating the champions is not easy. Manchester City deserved the Championship last season.

We cannot for sure say that Luis Enrique would have won them the championship. But I would say there was a way better chance. But this season, I don't think they can win it. They still lack the mentality to win the Champions League. Ligue 1 is like a picnic and I don't think it even matters to them anymore if they win the Ligue 1. The clear favorites this season are Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. Beating these 3 big teams will be the biggest hurdle for PSG. PSG did not even do well in the group stage and there was a chance in the last game week that they could have been eliminated out of the group. So I don't think they will be able to win this time. Their playoff opponent is Real Sociedad and I think they will struggle to even beat them.

[Belarge]

Somehow Lion managed to finish above relegation zone but I think they will have the same attitude in 2nd half of the season where they will fight again in the lower part of the Ligue 1.

Meanwhile , PSG is locked to be champions this year and I think they will have more than 15 points in front of the 2nd place by the end of the season.

The Ligue One title will return to  Parc des Princes stadium again this season, a normal trophy. It doesn't matter the points earned, they're Champs. Paris Saint Germain fans perceived brilliance in their performance ahead specifically when it involves UEFA Champions League competition, they don't jeopardize their performance and stats, their main is the UCL title and I don't think they're ready to give up, perhaps not now that they're in the round of 16. Luis Enrique appointment have pave good path for PSG and everyone hopes he's taking them to the promise land.

There is definitely no doubt about the winner of this season in France because so far all other teams couldn't have good performances in this league while the performance of PSG was awesome in the games we saw from this team.
As I said before about this league, I think if other teams want to race with PSG to win the title they should have the same or more investments in their teams to have better players and coaches.

[Leviathan.007]

Recently Anthony Martial was linked to Marseille and there was a chance for this player to join Marseille during the winter but this team denied everything and they clearly said they are not going to buy Marseille from Manchester united
Marseille is mad about this news and since the performance of Anthony Martial was disappointing in Manchester United they don't want to have a player like Anthony Martial in their teams while he is not in the good form.

Financial investments do play a big role in building a strong squad, eventhough it's not the sole determinant of a team's success, it becomes too clear to see the gap when fanancial gap is too big. PSG can have a series of unfortunate events, it seems wouldnt impact them with the squad depth they have.

We've witnessed Lille outperformed expectation and challenged PSG to win the league. But this can't always happen when they keep selling their best players, unlike PSG who keep buying good players. Investments in players and coaches are crucial, but effective team management, strategy, and cohesion are equally important. Teams with smaller can demonstrate that with the right approach, teamwork, and tactical acumen, but maintaing it will be the hardest challenge.

Teams with smaller can demonstrate that with the right approach, teamwork, and tactical acumen, but maintaing it will be the hardest challenge.

I think money matters most in league where there isn't a lot of money already. It wouldn't make the same difference for Manchester City to invest a billion now and become twice as valuable as they are and the second most valuable team in the Premier League is. Whereas the value gap in Ligue 1 is huge between PSG and then all the rest. That's where it makes a difference in the domestic league, but you can see how the advantage vanishes when PSG plays against other teams that are also financially strong and have some of the global superstars within their teams. Money can't do much then. PSG has tried when they bought Messi and Neymar in addition to also having Mbappe.

Recently Anthony Martial was linked to Marseille and there was a chance for this player to join Marseille during the winter but this team denied everything and they clearly said they are not going to buy Marseille from Manchester united
Marseille is mad about this news and since the performance of Anthony Martial was disappointing in Manchester United they don't want to have a player like Anthony Martial in their teams while he is not in the good form.

It's the main job for Erik Ten Hag to selects the best players for his team. The fans will criticize the players who are not in good shape, that's normal for everyone else. The Manchester United frontline exiting Old Trafford doesn't seem to be true because there's a whole lot of these transfer news flying around, some are true while some are false. We don't just know what to believe anymore. Anthony Martial is a top frontline for Manchester United but he's not having any significant changes with his presence, instead he's getting worse but I think it's mere phase and it will pass.

I would say that if Luis Enrique had got PSG's previous year's squad, he could have  brought PSG the Champions  League. PSG management had a lot of bad decisions. Over the past  few seasons, the Stars have brought in some of the  best players in the world in their  squad. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe were in their attack. But  their coach was not experienced enough. So  the coach could not help much to  strengthen the bonding between the players.

PSG should offer Luis Enrique  big funds in the winter transfer  window and give him the freedom to  build his squad as he wishes. PSG  should rely on Luis Enrique. Enrique  is one of the best coaches in the  world. He is experienced enough. He might be able to dominate the Champions League if he can form a squad with the players of his choice.

We agree with what you said, if Luis Enrique had a squad like last season. plus, he also brought in several players, especially players for the team's needs. PSG will be much stronger in the hands of a competent coach, and has the potential to bring a strong team to win many trophies. but unfortunately, IMO, it seems like most PSG coaches don't have the capacity to bring in some of the players they want for the team's needs. I also suspect that Galtier doesn't have many choices in selecting the players recruited by PSG management. it would be very natural if Galtier had difficulty finding a suitable formula for his squad at that time, especially for PSG's midfield.

Now, PSG is handled by Enrique and the PSG mega project is no longer being continued. Messi left, Neymar left, and several other players left PSG. however, it seems that currently PSG is starting with a new philosophy. they prioritized several young players, and built an even stronger foundation under the guidance of Luie Enrique. talking about Enrique at the moment, I don't really know which players he has brought in since managing PSG. however, it seems that club management still prioritizes their interests and desires.  If, Enrique is given the freedom to bring in the players he really wants. at least PSG can perform much better, as well as in the Champions League. this season, it seems their target is only to win the Ligue 1 trophy and advance as best they can in the Champions League. for Ligue 1, I have no doubts about how PSG will defend the title for the umpteenth time. but for the Champions League, if PSG were able to advance to the last eight, that would be far more sufficient with the current squad.

Luis Enrique is without doubt one of the best managers in Europe at the moment and that's why I was very surprised with his performance with Paris Saint Germaine in his first few weeks at the club. He didn't start the season on a very good note as the club lost few games and dropped points on games they were supposed to win outrightly. However, I think it was as a result of the fact that he didn't have full experience about the PSG.

Since he leant about the best tactical approach that brings out the best from the team, they've flourishing in the league as well as in Europe. Hopefully he's gonna win the UEFA champions league for the club probably not this season but in the nearest seasons
