French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Congrats to PSG on their win over Toulouse by 2-0 in the Super Cup match.    They deserved that win by finishing the job in the first half already. They let Toulouse come much more in the second half and PSG literally did nothing in terms of trying to score another goal. But still Toulouse couldn't take advantage of this chance. Luis Enrique must be happy to have won his first title with the team as well. Maybe it isn't a very challenging match considering the quality gap but still a title is a title.

It is a very one sided game and actually too bad to be a real final, but it wasn't expected that Toulouse would be able to strike back. Maybe they would have had a chance on a luckier day, but this wasn't supposed to happen in this game.

PSG dominates everything from ball possession to shots to shots on target. In my opinion there is no coming back for Toulouse. And yes Enrique wanted to get this title without tryiing out any new things or experiments and it was the right decision. Pick the low hanging fruit first as this title can't be taken way from them.

It's too easy for PSG, the game is one-sided. From all aspects, PSG is superior to Toulouse, so it's not surprising that we feel like we're watching PSG train.
And it's a shame that Enrique didn't use any substitute players in this match, almost all of them were the main players who played. Enrique should experiment because the opponents he faces are very easy and on the other hand also to maintain the players' fitness, because PSG's main goal is the UCL League.

Toulouse was not an equal opponent compared to the PSG. The gap is too big between both of clubs. Lee was opening the way to get the trophy for PSG then mbappe was also scoring the second goal for PSG.
Toulouse's level is far below PSG and i must say that if toulouse was not comparable to the PSG. Toulouse was not playing so badly coz it was using a fully defensive strategy against PSG but it keeps failed.

Im feeling sad for toulouse caused by it can reach to the final. All of toulouse players are feeling so badly in the game after it was lost against PSG.

Congratulation for PSG caused by the club has been winning its first trophy for this season. Im thinking that PSG is going to win several trophies till the end of season.
I am extremely delighted and filled with joy to witness the exceptional and flawless performance exhibited by PSG in their triumphant victory against Toulouse. The result of this match was too easy to be predicted.

PSG is now having a new trophy.

A cup is a cup. Congratulations to Luis Enrique for becoming champion. The opposite situation could also have occurred. If Toulouse had won, it would have been a shame for PSG, no doubt. The fact that it is their first cup this year will motivate them even more. I'm almost sure they will win the league. The important thing is, I wonder how their UCL performance will be.

[Docnaster]

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. PSG may be quite strong in the front line at the moment but not in other lines.

It's very possible PSG gets to buy talented young players who can help.the team achieve that which they are aiming to achieve because PSG has got the financial capabilities so it wouldn't really pose so much of a challenge to them.as it would be with other small teams in the Ligue 1 this season.

Of course, they will not have problems with their finances in getting new talents who are still young and reliable. on the other hand, they also need an experienced and talented players in several lines. moreover,  The problem is also if they really lose Mbappe, who will be able to replace him in that position. This will definitely be a big work for Enrique to return to managing the club so that it remains able to compete strongly. Not only in the French League because that won't be a big problem, but especially for UCL matches which are certainly very prestigious.

The reports of Kylian Mbappe's potential departure from Parc des Princes heightens on daily basis and that's why I think it'll be difficult to keep the France international at Paris Saint Germaine beyond the summer. The club I believe is scouting for young talents that'll replace Kylian Mbappe when he eventually leaves the club in the summer. But for a player of Mbappe's quality and importance, it'll be very difficult to find a perfect replacement.
 
The club's manager Luis Enrique is one of the most experienced managers in France at the moment and I'm optimistic he'll still be able to manage Paris Saint Germaine well should their current best player Kylian Mbappe eventually leaves in the summer.

Absolutely true and this can certainly increase the team's mentality and confidence in facing matches in all future competitions, there are many positive things and also positive energy that the team gets from their success.
PSG's victory over Toulouse could actually have been predicted from the start and indeed if we look at the overall quality, the PSG team had much better strength than Toulouse, so of course this victory was quite natural.

[Strongkored]

Congratulations for PSG because at the beginning of this year they can gets new trophy from France Super Cup and since the beginning of match PSG always be attempts to pressed Toulouse defensive lines which make Toulouse was unable to develop their game and everything looks very easy for PSG especially after Lee Kang-in scored when the match still entering 3 minutes and actually Toulouse also performing well because they can able to threaten PSG defense several times but indeed Donnarumma was made several good saves which makes PSG not conceded goals until end of the match and total PSG has collect 12 trophies from this tournament and in the last 11 years PSG can able to gets 10 trophies which is this achievement cannot be equated to other teams in Ligue 1

PSG's dominance is not only in Ligue 1 but also in this tournament and even though PSG could be champions, Toulouse put up quite a good fight, only PSG looked very focused and did not give their opponents the opportunity to maximize every opportunity they had because there were at least six shots on goal which was owned by Toulouse but all of them could not penetrate the PSG goal which was very well guarded by their main goalkeeper.
Before the first Ligue 1 match this year PSG will play against Revel in the French Cup and this should be an easy match or an opportunity for Luiz Enrique to field their second line players because the match against Lens will be much more difficult and it is also important to maintain the gap their point is with Nice because when the Champions League matches start again PSG will probably face difficulties maintaining their performance, so it is important for Luiz Enrique to rotate his players.

Yes I agree with what you said. Whatever it is, a trophy is still a trophy. PSG is very strong in the domestic league and I can almost guarantee that they will win Ligue 1 this season. We don't need to talk about PSG's domestic performance because they are really strong. If we want to see the quality of PSG then we have to see how they perform in the UCL. So far PSG has performed quite well in the UCL because they have won several matches but the real challenge begins when they meet Sociedad in the round of 16.

It is indeed challenging to keep a player of Mbappe's caliber, especially if he has big ambition to write his name in football history. I dont think there is the same quality replacement for him, and I think PSG won't scout for young talents, but they will find an establish good player to replace him, That's what PSG do. Kylian Mbappe is not only a world-class talent but also a key figure in PSG's success.

His departure would undoubtedly leave a significant void in terms of attacking prowess, creativity, and goal-scoring ability. Even if the club identifies promising young talents, the pressure to match Mbappe's impact would be immense. PSG's ability to manage the departure of Mbappe is rooted in the experience and managerial prowess of Luis Enrique. As one of the most experienced managers in France, Enrique has a track record of success and adaptability. His strategic approach to team management and tactical flexibility could potentially mitigate the impact of losing a star player like Mbappe. Luis Enrique's managerial acumen offers a hope for PSG fans. The ability to build and mold a team, even in the absence of a superstar, is a testament to Enrique's coaching abilities.

The wining was actually expected because there is no way PSG will have difficulty on wining Toulouse because for now PSG is one of the best club on the French league this season and however irrespective of the news about Mbappe leaving the club after his contract elapse doesn't make PSG vulnerable to be challenged by smaller clubs.

Actually I was even thinking that PSG will score Toulouse more than what they did because they had the opportunity to score more goals on that match and plus there home advantage they gave Toulouse a serious difficult time to perform because PSG has been the one dominating right from the beginning of the match to the end, however what I like most on that match is that there was no tension or pressure against them and they were able to score all the goals they needed during the first half of the match making them to feel a bit relaxed on there second half.

As far as I have heard there is a possibility for Mbappe to continue at PSG. If this happens it would happen by a contract extension by one year though. Because if I'm not wrong there is a condition like that on his contract now. PSG have been working on convincing him to activate this condition for a long while. First Mbappe looked not much keen on doing it but now it is hard to predict what he will do.

But if I were in his shoes I would never do that. Because I mean you can't still win any Champions League title with this team. The Ligue 1 title is already easy to achieve for PSG so Mbappe must also want the Champions League title the most.

PSG likes a giant wall for toulouse. PSG deserved to take the trophy cuz it was playing very consistently in that match. Im praising paris saint germant to play better in this match.
Mbappe is putting his name on the scoreboard which was adding another good record for him. Im very happy with this result. Im sure that the majority of people were predicting it if PSG would be winning the game.
That's ez money for all of the bettors. We can't deny that if bettors are feeling so damn good with the result got by PSG.

First Mbappe looked not much keen on doing it but now it is hard to predict what he will do.

PSG continue to repeat their failed strategies which won't help them to keep Mbappe in their club for too long. Keeping a star player with such high ego and thinks about himself more than about the club, will not bring benefit for the club in general.

They will have better sentiment in their dress room without Mbappe and I really believe that it's time for big changes of both Mbappe and PSG. The separation between the player and the club must happen and maybe it will happen this summer. PSG is a club that helps Mbappe to grow up his career after leaving AS Monaco but now they are no longer fitted each other with ambition of Mbappe.

But if I were in his shoes I would never do that. Because I mean you can't still win any Champions League title with this team. The Ligue 1 title is already easy to achieve for PSG so Mbappe must also want the Champions League title the most.

Mbappe loves Real Madrid and has his big belief that Real Madrid will help him to win Champions League and Ballon d'Or. It is his dreaming destination and he also no longer see bright future of PSG to compete in Champions League. The past season and this one, show that PSG are starting to fall down in quality and they even struggle more with clubs in Ligue 1.

Of course, Luis Enrique was happy to get his first title with PSG, even though the title was not a prestigious trophy, this title could still add to their trophy collection. This victory was a victory that was due for PSG because Touluse would not necessarily be able to beat PSG with greater strength weaker than PSG, especially since Luis Enrique used the main squad in this match, of course the squad gap is certain that PSG will winning.
Congratulations to PSG and Enrique

Don't underestimate any player when it comes to stepping up major competition for the league title. Kylian Mbappe steps next in line for the Ballon d'Or but I don't think he would be able to manage the top run, afterall he's important in both club and country based on his stellar performance. The possibility of Kylian Mbappe remaining in Parc des Princes stadium is hugh and I would really want him to become one the good players that will take over from Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappe needs time to become the very best player everyone expects him to be.

I'm so happy for Enrique for winning the match because after beating Toulouse with a 2-0 result and the good performance PSG had, now Enrique has achieved his first prophy with PSG. Since Enrique joined PSG everyone has been expected to see him win the French League and people were also expecting him to have a much better performance in the Champanipos League, but now PSG won the French Super League with this new coach, however, I think this game was not a hard match for a team like PSG considering the players they have in this team.

It's no longer news that Paris Saint Germaine defeated Toulouse yesterday to win the Trophée des Champions yesterday which automatically became the club's manager Luis Enrique''s first trophy with club.
His facial gestures after the final whistle clearly tells how happy the Spaniard was to lay his hands on a trophy as Paris Saint Germaine manager. With the current performance of his team, I'm very sure they're not even gonna finish the season with just the TDC but will further win few more trophies. They're at the top of the league table and looks set to retain the title once again but it'll be a greater achievement for Luis Enrique and the whole club and her fans if they can go on to win the UEFA champions league trophy this season.

PSG's victory over Toulouse could actually have been predicted from the start and indeed if we look at the overall quality, the PSG team had much better strength than Toulouse, so of course this victory was quite natural.

PSG very much deserved to win this trophy and what they did at the start of 2024 was extraordinary. They took their first trophy of the year from Toulouse and there are still other trophies they need to secure. The opening Ligue 1 match for the remainder of this season will still take place this week and of course they will still be aiming for point by point to secure their chance of becoming Ligue 1 champions in each season.

It will be a quite tense match at the start of the year because they will be playing against Lens, who are currently in their best form, but with full motivation from the title they have just won, they will certainly have no burden against Lens. They must add an additional 3 points to the standings so that it will be even more difficult for Nice to catch them.

[temple]

At the end of the first half I felt that the match was completely one-sided. However, I thought that since Toulouse qualified for the final, and that their performance in the Europa League is good enough, they might be able to put up a fight against PSG today. But against Luis Enrique's match tactics, Toulouse's players feel helpless today.

PSG lead 2-0 at the end of the first half. The first goal was scored by Lee Kang-in and the second goal was scored by Mbappe in the 44th minute. PSG players had 12 shots in the first half and had 72% of the ball possession. The odds of Toulouse scoring 3 goals in the second half and winning are slim. 3 goals against Luis Enrique's match tactics is difficult.

Exactly and yet I think that PSG allowed Toulouse to do too many things against them. Toulouse had more shots at the end of the game and even more shots on target, but they were out of luck. When they were 0-2 down, all they needed was one goal to get PSG to become nervous, but it wasn't meant to be.

PSG coming down a peg was normal, but not so much that Toulouse partially took control of the game despite their low ball possession. PSG should still use their quality to keep them away from their own goal. I wish they scored the goal to close the gap, but it wasn't their best day.

But if I were in his shoes I would never do that. Because I mean you can't still win any Champions League title with this team. The Ligue 1 title is already easy to achieve for PSG so Mbappe must also want the Champions League title the most.

So much drama has happened to Mbappe and PSG and yes, it seems PSG is still very unstable to determine whether Mbappe will be retained or allowed to leave. Because after all, previously there were also statements about PSG being ready to open negotiations for Mbappe but after the statement circulated, and then rumors circulated again about PSG not being willing to let Mbappe leave on a free transfer.

Therefore, then PSG will again extend Mbappe contract just so that Mbappe does not leave on a free transfer. But if that's the case, then at least it's still possible for PSG to sell Mbappe but ya, certainly with a high transfer fee due to the factors mentioned.

[Slow death]

Congratulations PSG for entering the new year and winning a trophy, in France PSG dominates everything and as a PSG fan I feel happy to see that PSG even if they don't win the champions league and don't even manage to get far in the champions league or In other European competitions like the Europa League, at least they have dominated French football. but with the investment they have made in the team, PSG needs to win relevant European titles, this trophy they won is something they can easily achieve due to the fact that there is a big difference in level between PSG and the other teams in France , making competition in France almost non-existent, making PSG the absolute dominator

In the next game, PSG will play against Revel in a French Cup game. Revel is a weak team and I highly doubt that PSG will field its best players in this game against Revel and even if PSG field the team's weakest players, PSG will still win this game very easily. After the game against Revel, PSG will play against Lens, who in the last 5 games only had one defeat, which was against Nice, I see PSG coming out of this game with victory, that's because Lens hasn't done well when playing against teams from the top, they lost against nice in a game in which they conceded 2 goals and failed to score any goals
