French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[tusandii]

For Ligue 1 there are still 5 days left to continue, of course PSG can still play quite well and have a big chance of coming out as champions this season.
Their only closest competitor is Nice but the difference between the two is 5 points so it is still far enough to be able to beat PSG.

Winning the Ligue 1 title is not difficult for PSG now. Their  main opponent is Nice. Nice's performance  is not very strong. Although the  performances have been stable, they  are facing a lot of problems scoring goals. Their performance  is stable due to strong defense. However, if the performance of the attacking players is weak, it will be very difficult to  continue the good performance in the  long journey and occupy the top spot in the table.
I would say Luis Enrik's main target now is to do well in the Champions League. Despite performing well in Ligue 1, their performance in the Champions League was quite poor in the group stage. Therefore, if PSG wants to survive in the competition of the Champions League, the performance of PSG needs to be improved.

This match couldn't be hard for a team like PSG with all the superstar players they have in this team because PSG is a team with lots of investments and they are in the good situation while they were playing against a totally unknown team with weak performance in the French Cup.
I never heard about the team Revel. Mbappe scored three goals in this match surely scoring three goals from Mbagppe can show us this player is still motivated even if there is news about him leaving PSG.

Talking about the competition between PSG and Nice, of course anyone will say that PSG is far superior while Nice is just a small club that is experiencing temporary improvement and I am sure that PSG will win the League 1 title very easily because Nice is really not an equal opponent unless Lens, Marseille and Monaco can continue to improve their performance. These three clubs are more worthy of being PSG challengers because in terms of experience these three clubs are far superior to Nice.
I don't have confidence that PSG can win the title in the champions league because even though they have mainstay players it doesn't mean they are used to competing with other big clubs because this has been happening since last season when having several players was easy but in fact it failed and I also actually don't have confidence in Enrique because He is not experienced enough to be able to take PSG to the Champions League.

[Xxmodded]

Psg has a stock of great players, but even so, Luis Enrique also fielded their main squad when facing Revel so that a win with a big score was the final result in this match. Revel is not a strong team and their defense is so fragile that Mbappe et al had no difficulty scoring many goals in this match. Indeed, this is quite a big risk when facing a non-seeded team, but they play with their full squad so if an injury occurs to a player it would be quite a shame.

But this match provides strong evidence that the players are able to play more carefully and they are able to do well because nothing bad happens to them. And there are no other matches this week before Ligue 1 starts again, so PSG players get plenty of time to stabilize their fitness to compete in Ligue 1 matches.

I don't know what most important match for Luis Henrique against not professional or amateur teams like Revel have to play main players, almost PSG starting line up last night most of them as regular players and Luis Henrique won't loss opportunity on French Cup round of 64. I think its easy with victory over 9-0 even PSG use their second composition against teams still amateur.
Have many days separated before facing Lens on Ligue 1 seems reason why Luis Henrique want to use his scheme with regular players against Revel last night and success get big winning score.
Have good news without any one players of PSG injured last night, its too risk with Luis Henrique use his main players last night against not professional team.

Revel 0-5 PSG

Today in the match of the Coupe de France, PSG's players shows a great dominance. The opposition is naturally quite weak compared to PSG. So I thought Luis Enrique might give his second line players a chance in this match. But he didn't do that. PSG players dominated from the start of the match.

PSG players had 78% of the ball possession in the first half. They managed to make a total of 15 shots, out of which 7 were on target. And the important thing is that PSG team lead by 4-0 goals in the first half. And Mbappe scored another goal at the beginning of the second half. Mbappe scored the goal from Marco Asensio's pass. Mbappe has already scored three goals. Asensio has one goal and two assists. Carlos Soler had two assists. PSG won today's match by 7/8 goals, but it is not surprising.

It looks like PSG can have a lot of goals in this match because there is still a lot of time left in the second half. The match has entered the 67th minute where PSG is already leading this match with a score of 0-5. the opponent Revel where they were not able to play well at all in this match where they had to defend as best as possible from the pressure put on by PSG. Mbappe has recorded 3 goals, aka hat tricks, in this match and it is very likely that he will score again because he is in his best form in today match.

Apart from that, PSG is very strong compared to their opponents in today match, so it is not surprising that Mbappe et al managed to destroy Revel defense line in today match. For now, I think Luis Enrique can give playing time to their second layer of players because they are safe enough by leading the match with a 5 goal lead.

In the end PSG won the match by a huge margin of 9-0. Mbappe scored 3 goals and an assist in today's match. PSG players played well. The match was not very important for them. Still Luis Enrique formed his best squad today to give confidence to the squad players. Goncalo Ramos scored a goal from the penalty spot. Asensio scored two goals and an assist. Muani also scored two goals. PSG's players will be more confident in the upcoming matches after a big 9-0 win in this match. They have the potential to improve overall gameplay.

Mbappe's hat-trick and assist exude star power, no? PSG went all out in a non-crucial encounter, which is amazing. One of Luis Enrique's goals is to build team confidence, not just win games. Asensio and Muani's goal scoring diversity demonstrates PSG has depth, not simply one or two stars. Huge lift from 9-0 win. It will boost their spirit for subsequent matches, Im sure. They're mixing big names with good teamwork.

I think this kind of win cements a winning mindset, not just points. I think PSG players will play with more confidence now. This benefits the team and supporters! Its thrilling to watch them dominate and synergize. Im excited to see how they carry this excitement and confidence into their future bouts!

PSG having a 9 goal margin win isn’t one less of expectations but still we must credit the players and the coach. Kylian got a hat trick to add to his list of career hattricks and it’s really great to see the youngster always turning up, he has really helped this PSG side to be successful this season despite the threat from cubs like Nice and Monaco who made everyone think PSG would miss out on the league trophy this season.

A very reasonable victory for PSG because after all, seeing the conditions of U. S Revel, who became his opponent in this match, is a club in the middle of nowhere in the 6th caste for the domestic league in France so that indeed a victory with a striking smile like this is a fairly natural thing for PSG to do.
But indeed in this match we also have to give appreciation and respect to PSG because even though they face a club whose differences are very far but they still use their star players such as Mbappe, Ramos and Asensio who certainly add enthusiasm to the clubs under them because after all for this Revel even if they lose they will still feel proud because they get the opportunity to face the ruling club for competition in France in their conditions which are very far away and cannot touch PSG but on this occasion it is an honor for them to get more learning if they still want to develop better.

There was nothing special about the big win they got in this match, I didn't even know the club they were facing. However, I agree that appreciation must still be given, because they are still looking at this competition seriously. Even if they field all their second or third tier players they will still be able to win this match.
They can only show this against clubs that are weaker than them, but when they face a club that is at their level, I doubt they will win. I'm actually not too interested in seeing what their results are in matches like this, my main focus is when I see them in bigger competitions in the Champions League especially, because I think that's where they have equal opponents.

[KTChampions]

If the coach was a figurehead, it’s not necessarily his fault or the management’s. What is the likelihood that a serious coach would put Neymar on the bench for violation of discipline? What is the likelihood of Messi getting into the starting lineup and playing more than a half, given that he walks most of the game? I think in the first case 100%, and in the second close to 0%  But they are big brands so the coach did not have the power to act with them as he should have. I don't even blame the management - if the stars are capricious, then the only mistake is signing them. Nothing can be fixed further.

I'm not sure who deserves the blame. A team like PSG needs big stars so that their chances of winning the competition are greater, but having big stars in the squad will certainly add a lot of pressure to a coach when the player has to be on the bench due to a disciplinary violation or decline in performance (except injury).

Recruiting star players is a must when a team wants to win the title. However, the problem is, not all coaches are able to handle the pressure and make all their players unselfish towards each other and have good relationships with each other. I blame the coach for his inability to overcome this problem, but I also blame the management for giving too much freedom to their star players to organize many things.

Big stars are not equivalent to big stars that are already old   Or big stars who prefer Brazilian carnivals and sister's birthday. Yes, part of the blame lies with the management (I don’t see any point in blaming the coaches in general - they were technical figures and only did what they were told), but the decisions on these stupid transfers were made by the club’s owners. They have endless money, but their minds are a little worse, so in the end they got what they deserved

Its thrilling to watch them dominate and synergize. Im excited to see how they carry this excitement and confidence into their future bouts!

The match was completely unbalanced because PSG played almost all of its core players and despite making changes to several players. I saw that Luis Enrique didn't try to rotate completely in this match and maybe he saw this match as important to win. But PSG should have won the match with a much bigger score because they missed several good opportunities to score in the first and second half.

A big win can provide moral motivation to the players, but PSG must also realize that it is a club that is not their opponent. So even though they got a big win, PSG needed to improve their midfield, so that their playing patterns could be much more measured in building attacks.

PSG almost reached 10 goals and I think the result of 9 goals without reply is very painful for a weak team like Revel. Kylian Mbappe even managed to record a hat trick in this match and other players were equally part of this landslide victory. Luis Enrique seems to have proven that they are the number 1 club in France and whoever they play against, he doesn't seem to show any mercy.

I think PSG should have been able to rest their main players in this match when they were 3 goals ahead but in fact most of them stayed until the end of the match. Despite the policy implemented by Luis Enrique, it certainly didn't use up all the players' stamina and maybe it was more of an entertainment match for fans who wanted to watch their favorite team win with lots of goals.

This is a form of respect from PSG because after all, PSG can still win this match even with their tier players but they don't do that because they also don't want to consider this match easy and underestimate their opponents even though their opponents have quite a difference in terms of competition and caste.

As for the Champions League problem, it is still interesting with what they will do. in the previous 2 seasons PSG was not too lucky because in the round of 16 they always got tough opponents even 2 of their opponents were the champions in the end but now they are breathing a little easier even though they are in the hell group but in the round of 16 this time they will face the dark horse Sociedad.
This is biased in their favor although surely this match will be troublesome for PSG but at least it is not bigger than Madrid and Manchester City they have faced in the previous 2 seasons.

It was truly an extraordinary result. Even though I also expect that they will definitely win the match, getting 9 goals is not an easy thing. This is an achievement that really deserves appreciation. And talking about their chances in the League I have already said that this season no one doubts that PSG will win the French league. NICE has performed well this season but they will not be able to catch PSG in the League because I think NICE is at risk of appearing inconsistent in the second half of the season,

[Weawant]

Talking about the competition between PSG and Nice, of course anyone will say that PSG is far superior while Nice is just a small club that is experiencing temporary improvement and I am sure that PSG will win the League 1 title very easily because Nice is really not an equal opponent unless Lens, Marseille and Monaco can continue to improve their performance.

Nice isn't a club to be considered just too small yet even if it's looking like they are just getting to improve in the Ligue 1 this season but then they have always been above average teams in the Ligue 1, even in subsequent sessions,.they have not been too bad enough to get to relegation, a few times they were able to make it to.the top.four.

I know I'm superiority PSG still stands out way bigger but then this season Nice have been in one of their best form and shouldn't be in anyway underestimated even if I know PSG has got the best squad in France currently but they shouldn't forget quickly how it happened last season when they went lax a few times and it denied them the Ligue 1 title, same may apply with Nice even if I know they are quite far away as the margin with which PSG is ahead is literally broad but then since they have the UCL to play, it could be a distraction that could probably get them some slacks in the Ligue 1

There was nothing impressive about PSG big win and Mbappe hat-trick in this match because after all, the opponents PSG faced were also a team that didn't know what league to play in and also played in which league. Because ya, after all, there is no record about Revel playing in what division of the league and based on existing records too, that Revel only played in the Coupe de France and I think that is clearly a bad record.

Therefore, playing against PSG is definitely not a worthy opponent because after all, PSG clearly has better quality. Also, this big win has absolutely no impact on PSG performance in Ligue 1 because anyway, there was no impressive resistance made by Revel in this match. Clearly, this is a team that is very different in terms of quality for all the factors involved.

But think about it, if you were around 10 years of age and you are extremely talented in football, you have your idols and you are dreaming of certain leagues where you would love to one day play, would Ligue 1 be part of your dreams? This is the biggest problem I think for clubs from France. PSG is an exception because they can make up for a bad experience with money. Playing in Spain or England is very different from playing in France. El Clasico in Spain, the derbies in England and so many other things that are great in those leagues. The only thing that could convince you to go to France is money. No young talent would ever go to France if clubs from Spain and England are also interested.

It's said that even an absolute success in Ligue 1 won't put your name written in the history of football. Ligue 1 doesn't have the same quality and global recognition as La Liga or the Premier League. France has a rich footballing history as a country, but players who played in Ligue 1 are rarely mentioned as legends in football world. The quality and perception of a league often influences how players and their achievements are remembered in the football world.

If Mbappe has big ambition in his footballing career, it would be rational decision to move to La Liga or Premier League. The only reason for Mbappe to stay at PSG is that he accepts an offered big money by PSG.  That only means he just doesnt have big ambition and chooses to stay in his comfort zone by always being the best in his own backyard.

Yes, that's true because the popularity of Liga 1 is very different from La Liga and the Premier League. Both leagues are competitive leagues and the clubs that compete there are like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea. These clubs are clubs. elite in their respective leagues and very popular throughout the world so that if a player has good potential and is at one of the clubs his name will always be remembered in the history of football, such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, both names will remain popular throughout time because they are both The player is at a club that has made a name for himself so that even when he retires his name will still be written in history.

I think there is another reason why he might still choose to stay and be at PSG, not only because of the big salary, if he wants that, of course Saudi clubs pay much bigger salaries, but maybe because of his love for his country so he continues to serve and continues to be at PSG simply because it was PSG who made Mbappe what he is today.

The reasons why you say things are very valid and yes, you may be right, especially in emphasizing that p may be very nationalist. That is something that I totally believe, the fact that Mbappé now wants to stay at PSG is practically because they want to continue ensuring the Ligue 1 title and that obviously PSG will give a good monetary incentive to a Mbappé who in fact He is a player who can always set a record by saying No to a Real Madrid, which I find impressive. In fact, I think Madrid put a lot of pressure because they know very well that the player, under the conditions of the contract, is able to say no. However, an opportunity like that, it is priceless, this makes the French player not like him very much, PSG through their sheikh will make them offer him more millions and he will stay, he already showed that once He stayed at PSG for money and not to take a different path, that's what I see.

Now seeing the panorama as it is for the French player, I find it difficult for him to choose to go to Liverpoool because it is a team that is very well Consolidated , however he Would do very well there, but it is a question of whether he Wants to , but I don't see Mbappé is so eager for things to be done well for him there, I see that he has more interest in staying in his PSG team, as such, he has always been the most beloved of the club, that is what many expect from him and pro I think that is there and it will stay, now I would really be very surprised if he goes to Madrid and I would be even more surprised if Florentino takes him, because he is a player who would have already said No to Madrid, actually seeing what he is like. Madrid I would feel veryDisappointed , he is a great player, but since he is in the white club I don't think so, he already said no, and just as he said no once, he can come and go whenever he wants, because he doesn't care much nor does he put his club in first place.

PSG having a 9 goal margin win isn’t one less of expectations but still we must credit the players and the coach. Kylian got a hat trick to add to his list of career hattricks and it’s really great to see the youngster always turning up, he has really helped this PSG side to be successful this season despite the threat from cubs like Nice and Monaco who made everyone think PSG would miss out on the league trophy this season.

Also, this big win has absolutely no impact on PSG performance in Ligue 1 because anyway, there was no impressive resistance made by Revel in this match. Clearly, this is a team that is very different in terms of quality for all the factors involved.

Well, I also think that when PSG leaves Mbappé they are going to be very helpless, they will not be able to do anything at all, because Mbappé apparently is going to Liverpool and there is some news that apparently the Colombian Luis Diaz does not Care I was very pleased with tha t, because it could be that they replaced him, we don't know , things could get very heated, of course I don't know if the news was fake, I assumed that Mbappé had rejected Madrid and was Looking for everything to join Liverpool with a view to to be among one of the strongest players in the PL, not bad, I think that is the right place for Mbappé, now the fact of the 9 goals as you say and having everything well taken care of for the Frenchman, well yes, it is something great , a hat-trick is not done by just anyone, only by the best players, but even so, when Mbappé happens to leave, if he actually leaves PSG, which I highly doub t, because I think it will leave a PSG that has big advantage in Ligue 1.

Now when we are Thinking about what Ligue 1 can do , it could be that things can be very Satisfactory for teams like PSG, in the case of Lille and Marseille and all these teams, well, the case is very different, things can happen. It's good enough if PSG lets its guard down, it's obvious that Luis Enrique will do what's necessary to be able to perform very well and have the best for his team, but I see it as difficult, most of the stars are gone, and I think they can do anything to have the best possible to do, if this happens, Ligue 1 for me will be very exciting and things can be seen with different eyes, of course that is what I think , I would say that when it comes to this team that My name is the one who has the most money , because he will seek to have more good players , he will love them, and there will be strong competition with Madrid because he is also always looking for the best, and especially PSG with Luis Enrique can make the Difference.


David Hancko, Jean-Clair Todibo and Kevin Danso considered as PSG target defensive reinforcements

With Nordi Mukiele (26) being linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain and Milan Skriniar potentially sidelined until the end of the season with an ankle injury, the club are in the market for defensive reinforcements this January.

According to Foot Mercato, moves for Feyenoord’s David Hancko (26), OGC Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo (24) and RC Lens’ Kevin Danso (25) have been considered, however, none of the above are expected to move to the Parc des Princes this winter.
PSG target two signings

According to L’Équipe, Bayern Munich have offered to take Mukiele on loan until the end of the season, in a move that could be made permanent for €25m. However, PSG will only green light the move if they can find a replacement, which as PSG are finding out, is no easy task.

That is where remorse should kick in for Mbappe. He could have won several individual awards by now for being the best player in the world, but for as long as he stays at PSG he won't have a chance to compete with the world's best players that play for Manchester City, Real Madrid etc.

This transfer saga was exciting at times, but the bad part about it is that there was a talent on the line, a player risking the whole career and the potential legacy for money. That is his situation. He should put an end to that as quickly as possible and move on. He has enough money now. It can't be about the money and I think people around the world would be rolling their eyes if he unexpectedly decides to stay even longer in exchange for another billion euors.

Nice isn't a club to be considered just too small yet even if it's looking like they are just getting to improve in the Ligue 1 this season but then they have always been above average teams in the Ligue 1, even in subsequent sessions,.they have not been too bad enough to get to relegation, a few times they were able to make it to.the top.four.

I know I'm superiority PSG still stands out way bigger but then this season Nice have been in one of their best form and shouldn't be in anyway underestimated even if I know PSG has got the best squad in France currently but they shouldn't forget quickly how it happened last season when they went lax a few times and it denied them the Ligue 1 title, same may apply with Nice even if I know they are quite far away as the margin with which PSG is ahead is literally broad but then since they have the UCL to play, it could be a distraction that could probably get them some slacks in the Ligue 1

Nice has demonstrated stability and competitiveness to avoid relegation and even makes it to the top four in some instances. Their current improved form makes them look like a tough a top team in the league, but that hasn't enough to challenge for the title. While PSG undoubtedly stands out as the superior team in terms of squad quality and financial resources, recent history has shown that even dominant teams like PSG can face challenges. Last season's slip-ups by PSG leading to them missing out on the Ligue 1 title highlight the unpredictability of football.

Juggling domestic and international competitions can indeed be challenging for top-tier teams that is potentially creating an opportunity for other clubs, like Nice, to capitalize on any lapses. PSG's biggest enemy in the league right now is them self. Other teams can only take their position, if PSG feel complacency and play in relaxed mood.

[marcous]

That is where remorse should kick in for Mbappe. He could have won several individual awards by now for being the best player in the world, but for as long as he stays at PSG he won't have a chance to compete with the world's best players that play for Manchester City, Real Madrid etc.

It can't be about the money and I think people around the world would be rolling their eyes if he unexpectedly decides to stay even longer in exchange for another billion euors.

Of course everyone will be shocked and feel that Mbappe has given false hope, all speculation about him will no longer be credible if this time Mbappe stays at PSG again. The bonus given if Mbappe survives is quite large, if Mbappe only looks in that direction then he has closed the opportunity to become the best player in the world.

We know that winning this individual award is very difficult if you are still playing in Ligue 1, but if you move to La Liga with Madrid or move to the Premier League with Liverpool this dream is a little easier. Enrique and PSG management will continue to tempt him to stay longer in Paris, his presence in the main squad makes PSG comfortable to continue dominating Ligue 1.

[temple]

Psg has a stock of great players, but even so, Luis Enrique also fielded their main squad when facing Revel so that a win with a big score was the final result in this match. Revel is not a strong team and their defense is so fragile that Mbappe et al had no difficulty scoring many goals in this match. Indeed, this is quite a big risk when facing a non-seeded team, but they play with their full squad so if an injury occurs to a player it would be quite a shame.

But this match provides strong evidence that the players are able to play more carefully and they are able to do well because nothing bad happens to them. And there are no other matches this week before Ligue 1 starts again, so PSG players get plenty of time to stabilize their fitness to compete in Ligue 1 matches.

It is not simple to give this kind of games meaning to be honest. On the one hand you see big clubs fail against those teams because they don't go all out and believe that they can win the game easily when they perform at 80%. On the other hand I recall that Bayern Munich was defeated by a team that was playing several classes below them in Germany. It wasn't even 2. Bundesliga I think and yet Bayern Munich lost the game. So it was a good job by PSG to approach this game with high focus and intent to win it, but simultaneously nothing of importance really happened here.

Revel 0-5 PSG

Today in the match of the Coupe de France, PSG's players shows a great dominance. The opposition is naturally quite weak compared to PSG. So I thought Luis Enrique might give his second line players a chance in this match. But he didn't do that. PSG players dominated from the start of the match.

PSG players had 78% of the ball possession in the first half. They managed to make a total of 15 shots, out of which 7 were on target. And the important thing is that PSG team lead by 4-0 goals in the first half. And Mbappe scored another goal at the beginning of the second half. Mbappe scored the goal from Marco Asensio's pass. Mbappe has already scored three goals. Asensio has one goal and two assists. Carlos Soler had two assists. PSG won today's match by 7/8 goals, but it is not surprising.

It was a painful result for Revel. PSG scored exactly nine goals and there were just as many missed opportunities. He struggled from the start of the PSG match until the final whistle. It wouldn't have happened if Mbappe didn't score a hattrick in this match and he did it, I had no doubt about him, we are now used to him scoring hattricks in such matches.

PSG does not show mercy against such easy opponents, for some reason they always achieve such different results.

One part of me is surprised and another part of me is not. As I have said so many times, Ligue 1 is like a picnic for PSG. Ligue 1 is the highest level of the football league in France and Revel is a team which is not even in the Ligue 1. They are not even in the 2nd tier of the football league in France so Revel definitely did not stand a chance against PSG.

But as I have said before, one part of me was surprised due to the margin of victory. What I don't understand is why they are playing some of the main team players, to be honest. The schedules are tough these days and they should be given rest. Mbappe was brought out to play the game as well.

There was nothing impressive about PSG big win and Mbappe hat-trick in this match because after all, the opponents PSG faced were also a team that didn't know what league to play in and also played in which league. Because ya, after all, there is no record about Revel playing in what division of the league and based on existing records too, that Revel only played in the Coupe de France and I think that is clearly a bad record.

Therefore, playing against PSG is definitely not a worthy opponent because after all, PSG clearly has better quality. Also, this big win has absolutely no impact on PSG performance in Ligue 1 because anyway, there was no impressive resistance made by Revel in this match. Clearly, this is a team that is very different in terms of quality for all the factors involved.

That is where remorse should kick in for Mbappe. He could have won several individual awards by now for being the best player in the world, but for as long as he stays at PSG he won't have a chance to compete with the world's best players that play for Manchester City, Real Madrid etc.

This transfer saga was exciting at times, but the bad part about it is that there was a talent on the line, a player risking the whole career and the potential legacy for money. That is his situation. He should put an end to that as quickly as possible and move on. He has enough money now. It can't be about the money and I think people around the world would be rolling their eyes if he unexpectedly decides to stay even longer in exchange for another billion euors.

PSG winning by a huge scoreline against a team that people just have not even heard the name of is honestly not an achievement for PSG in my opinion. And I absolutely agree with you @hahay that they were not a worthy opponent for PSG. I don't think this win actually means anything to anyone. Of course, the loss for the opponent was absolutely humongous. But I don't think PSG should actually be proud of anything that they have achieved from this match. Because we don't see this performance from them in the Champions League. And even they will agree that the Champions League is the competition that they actually care about the most.

Mbappe leaving to Real Madrid is becoming a bigger news yet again, I do not know what they could do to change that, but feels like it could actually be a problem and I think it would definitely be a problem if he leaves. PSG is doing not that awesome even with him on the roster, and if he leaves there will be a big gap there.

However, that could actually be a great deal for him as well, it does feel like there is a possibility that they could end up using all the money that is left from him to get another player that could be great. I get that you can't get someone as great as Mbappe, that dude could be the best player of his era, however we are also talking about way too much money, and getting a few better players in some positions would make up for it maybe?
