French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[ginsan]

I still believe that all the informations linking Mbappe to a possible move to Real Madrid is rumor and I believe that in due time the player who knows he's next move will officially speak out so that everyone will know his next club but for now he is till a player of PSG until the end of the season. I also think the management of PSG is fighting to keep Mbappe in the team because his presence in the team alone has brought so many changes in the team because he is a player that always delivers his team any time he is called up on to play but if he chooses to leave PSG to another club next season,I don't think PSG will find it easy to continue to dominate the way they have done in the past unless they get a replacement for Mbappe because currently he is the best player they have got in the team right now. PSG will have to rebuild the team to be able to compete in the European championship after the departure of Mbappe this is because the team has tried to win the champions league with Messi, Naymer and Mbappe in the team but they didn't succeed and now that all the stars are out of the team I don't think they will be as strong as they were again.

I think this rumor will come true at the end of this season because in Fabrizio Romano tweet where he listed Real Madrid as Mbappe next team. So this news will come true and Mbappe is just waiting for this season to end before he becomes a Real Madrid player. Mbappe became a free transfer player which PSG lost a lot of money because Mbappe is a player who has a high release clause but he officially became a free transfer player. I think real madrid are quite lucky because they didn't have to spend money to get mbappe.

Psg without Mbappe will definitely be quite weak, even though they have many other players who can replace Mbappe position, it will be quite difficult for other players to be able to make as many contributions as Mbappe has done. I think Real Madrid will be quite strong next season and Barcelona must try to improve their strength if they want to compete for the Laliga title because joining Mbappe will certainly make it easier for Real Madrid to win the title.

If PSG wants to compete in the Champions League competition, they should try to build a squad like several other clubs have done. Say like Manchester City did and if they continue to depend on Mbappe then they won't be able to achieve that because there is too much drama going on.

Mbappe is an extraordinary striker. He is one of the best finishers in the world today. Without Mbappe I think PSG will have a little problem up front. But I read an article that said PSG had found a replacement for Mbappe. Osimhen is reportedly going to PSG next season. He is an extraordinary striker. Even though they have slightly less quality than Mbappe, I think PSG will still dominate Ligue 1 for the next few seasons.

To be able to win the Champions League, I think PSG must make several rotations, especially in the central area. City has De Bruyne who can be an attack organizer and opportunity creator. I haven't seen a player like him at PSG. I think they need to look for a creative midfielder next season.

Even though Mbappe has decided to leave, PSG will still be the rulers who dominate Ligue 1, and we don't need to doubt that anymore. The announcement of Mbappe departure is not yet complete, because Mbappe has not mentioned which club he will go to next, which in my opinion most people still believe that Real Madrid will be Mbappe next new club. Osimhen is the right choice as a replacement for Mbappe departure, it doesn't matter if Osimhen is still below Mabppe level, everyone needs a process to get better. It's true, PSG must build a balanced squad, not only focusing on the attack line, but they also need a reliable playmaker in the midfield. In my opinion, in his first season Luis Enrique has worked optimally in managing PSG, next season they will be even stronger, and Luis Enrique will certainly revise the depth of the squad he has.

Its very disappointed result for PSG after waiting more longer time and has opportunity reach to final round but got defeated by Dortmund back to back in away and home match. PSG must learned more with winning mentality and not depend on referee how easily make come back against Barcelona on quarter final after Barcelona have to play with ten players. I don't think how possibilities for next season PSG will reach to semifinal or winning UEFA Champion League trophy behind their key players Kylian Mbappe will leave PSG next season.

Indeed.
it must have been really painful for them, they were really disappointed, because once again they had failed. And this is Mbappe's last season at PSG too, and has not been able to present the Champions League trophy to this club. But as you said, the season is still ongoing and PSG must not only focus on the loss. They still have other important matches. Although PSG has been cleared as the winner of the French League as usual. but, they still have to struggle and give their best to the fans in these remaining matches.

The UEFA Champions League have to wait because Paris Saint-Germain are not ready for the top challenge, however this time, they did their best to reach the semi-final and got eliminated by Borrusia Dortmund that came prepared. Its been really a tough moment for Les Parisiens but they always managed to survive and they will continue to make attempts to win the UCL trophy and maybe one faithful season, winning it will become compulsory and essential for them. Paris Saint-Germain will later bounce back to winning levels but for now, I think they're broken because their top key player have lost confidence within himself and looks for a new club to open a chapter.

Mbappe's farewell message confirmed that he will be leaving PSG soon. It means there will be a lot of speculation about his next destination soon caused by several clubs have been on trending topic since mbappe was posting his farewell message for PSG. Several clubs have been linked with him, but he has yet to sign a contract with a new club and im still wondering on which club that is gonna be his next destination.
It also prompted many people to make various speculations and we can't avoid it since there are so many clubs were talking about him. Mbappe's exorbitant salary has made it difficult for clubs to sign him as a new player. He has been linked to Real Madrid, but no confirmation has come from them and im hoping we will able to see that as soon as possible.
I'm glad to see he's thinking about taking on another challenge and playing in a different league. I completely respect his decision in this case. I'm hoping he'll be lucky in his new club.
Which team will be his new team? I think that you guys your own speculations regarding him.

Yes, it is a farewell very much in his style, but I consider him to be a very good player, the truth is I would not like him to come to Madrid, although it is only safer, and even with what Joselu did in the UCL I do not think Florentino Pérez did it. Let him leave, because he is a very key player with nerves of steel, he alone eliminated Bayern, and that is something that Florentino does not forget, as does the entire team, but he was the one who scored the goals, so the players that since they are the ones that define the matches, they are the ones that Madrid always needs and that they always adapt to a scheme like Ancelotti's, which makes us suffer until the end, so I think Florentino is happy with Joselu and I don't think he does Madrid is missing an Mbappé.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé announced on Friday that he will leave the club after this season, when his contract with the Ligue 1 side expires next month.

A farewell speech of over three minutes, during which the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner expresses his thanks, admits to some mistakes, declares his love for the club, and, of course, announces his departure for “a new challenge.”

Nonetheless, the method of the announcement didn’t sit well with RMC Sport’s Daniel Riolo, who stated that the entire video felt like watching a politician.

Nice vs Le Havre
One of the important matches in the last weeks of the league. Nice had a great start to the season, followed by a sharp decline, and now they come into the final stretch of the season as an ambitious team. Nice have already booked their ticket to the European Cups next season. However, there is still a chance that they will not qualify for the European Cups. For that, they need at least 3 points in the last few weeks. Le Havre, on the other hand, have not yet fully recovered in the league and sit just above the relegation zone. This is a critical match. Le Havre won a crucial match last week. They will prefer a high tempo game in this match as in the last matches. It won't be a surprise if both teams score.

This season, Nice is still showing that they are quite strong team considering that they only have difference of 1 defeat from the team above them, whatever happens in the future, Nice will still have ticket for the Europa League next season.
Moreover, this season has proven that they are capable of change and development for the better I see that Nice has great potential in the future.
Nice performance this season looks much better than last season because now they can match the play of stronger teams even though it also ends in defeat, at least they are playing with maximum performance.

Today the match against Le Havre is over and we saw how they played well and dominated the match, but unfortunately they only got small victory with 1 goal.
But then there is quite difficult match, PSG and LOSC are the team that will be faced at the end of this season.

By looking at the situation that is not very good at PSG because Mbappe cannot explore himself further, the possibility of him leaving is very large, especially until now he is still often linked with big clubs, especially Madrid, which makes the conditions very favorable for Mbappe.

With the current conditions, PSG should try to find other options for Mbappe's replacement because if they continue to expect Mbappe, the situation is not favorable for PSG.

PSG has certainly prepared that if in the end Mbappe leaves PSG and does not renew his contract next season, I think PSG must be able to get used to playing without Mbappe because it can test the team's abilities, but after experiencing defeat in the UCL it seems that PSG is more focused on Ligue 1 even though it has It is predicted that they will win it, of course PSG must be able to prepare anything for next season because Mbapee also doesn't want to fail to win the UCL next season and he definitely wants to get a place in Madrid or another big team.

Mbappe is still young and of course he won't play in the Arab League which will definitely make him less popular when playing there. Mbappe must be able to choose his path in life after winning the title in Ligue 1. I'm also still wondering whether Madrid is really want it or vice versa, but it is the right choice if Mbappe moves to Madrid because he still has a chance to taste the title in the UCL next season, he will not continue with PSG, which will definitely be difficult to reach the UCL final, let alone win it next season, PSG must be able to get it. several replacement players to be able to perform better next season.

It seems that Mbappe's decision has been decided now and if you see what Fabrizio said in his video circulating on social media, I think the word "here we go" can be confirmed for Mbappe at the new club because it is currently rumored that Mbappe and PSG are preparing to break the contract that has been running for quite a long time and of course this raises the name Madrid as a strong candidate for Mbappe's anchorage next season.

But it is not too surprising because seeing from the current conditions and rumors that have been blowing for several seasons Mbappe and Madrid have always been linked and with the statement given by Fabrizio yesterday I think it further increases the probability that in the end sooner or later he will be in Madrid.

There is still no official statement for this but when you see who said it was Fabrizio then indeed I have no doubt about the credibility of what he said for football rumors and transfers next season.

Brest drew 1-1 with Reims at home. This point loss could be the kind that could stress them in the race for 3rd place in the league. Considering that the 3rd place in the league has a chance to go to the champions league, they may look for the 2 points they lost in this match in the coming weeks. Lille have a chance to catch up. Reims don't have many goals left in the league and this game didn't matter much for them as they have already secured their stay in the league. In the other match of the day, Nice managed to defeat their opponent 1-0. Le Havre are in the last few weeks of their last ditch efforts to stay in the league, and after this defeat, Metz have the opportunity to catch up with them. Metz, who want to equalize the points, cannot afford to lose points. I think they will beat Strasbourg .

Mbappe's farewell message confirmed that he will be leaving PSG soon.  ~snip~

Everyone was waiting for this moment and Mbappe has finally made the expected statement.    If PSG moved on in the Champions League then I wouldn't expect him to do this already now.

But failure after failure resulted in Mbappe's departure. Money doesn't always open every door. Mbappe has to think of a more successful career at the end of the day. Achieving the Ligue 1 title doesn't mean anything. It is a playground for PSG like I said before. It doesn't have the same meaning as winning a Premier League or La Liga title. From now on all I expect to see is Mbappe to join Real Madrid. This would be the best ending to this story.

[Salahmu]

The UEFA Champions League have to wait because Paris Saint-Germain are not ready for the top challenge, however this time, they did their best to reach the semi-final and got eliminated by Borrusia Dortmund that came prepared.

Yeah for now on don't think Paris Saint-Germain is ready for the champions League next season because they still have a lot of things to put in place in other to enable them go far because if they are not able to work on the team before next season champions league I doubt if they can even go far the way they did on this season, although I'm not saying that Paris Saint-Germain performance is not good but my point is that they need more experience players.

Also considering the fact that Mbappe could be leaving them anytime soon they should focus on more good quality players now so that their would be changed on their performance next season however I no that they actually tried on this season champions league but if they had gotten more experience players they wouldn't have been kicked out the way they did by Borussia Dortmund, so perhaps this season should be a lesson for them against their next season champions league.

You can always see the same problems happen that prevent them from finally winning the Champions League. Now to be fair it shouldn't be forgotten that it took Manchester City, the best team on the planet, an eternity to eventually win the Champions League title. I think that is proof enough how hard it is to win it and it sometimes (or always) take a little or a lot of luck. But PSG is a great team that in my opinion is a standard quarter or semi finalist. But they seem to lack what it takes to go this last extra mile and win it.

It's not a fact that he could be leaving them anytime soon, it is a fact that he will be leaving them and that he will play the very last game in the home stadium in Paris this weekend. He will be gone for sure. He did not yet announce though what his next team will be, but I think any team other than Real Madrid would be a real shocker (in the interesting sense).

But PSG won't be lost. They were able to pay probably more than half a billion in salaries and transfer fees for Mbappe, maybe very close to a billion, and they will do that again if they deem it necessary. Crazy that PSG is able to let a player like Mbappe go for a zero fee. That's when you know that a club is damn rich.

[rendravolt]

Nice is one step closer to taking a place in the Champions League next season and they got an additional 3 full points at home after beating Le Havre with a narrow score of 1-0. Nice have not given up their fight for Europe's highest competition and they must get it in the remaining matches this season.

Now the difference between Nice and Lille is only 1 point and Nice have to face PSG next week and if they can put pressure on PSG who have won the Ligue One title this season then they have the advantage of overtaking Lille. On the other hand, the last match that determines Nice's place in the Champions League is against Lille and of course it will be a life and death match for the two teams to fight for that place. I wonder between Nice and Lille who will get it.

When a person strives for new heights, this is very good. Mbappe has ambitions and it is important for him to realize them, I think that Enrique understands this well, although he would not want to let such a player go. If I’m not mistaken, his agent, his mother, has already moved to Madrid, perhaps everything will work out for Mbappe as he wanted and he will continue his career in Real Madrid. If he wants, he can always return to PSG, but if there is an opportunity to try his hand at other championships, then this must be done.

Mbappe no longer wanted to play for PSG three seasons ago and finally he will no longer sign any new contract or contract expansion with PSG. He wants Champions League, Ballon d'Or and PSG can not help Mbappe to get these big title and award.

Moving to a big and most successful club in Champions League like Real Madrid is in Mbappe's mind for years. Finally he will do it this summer and will become a part of Real Madrid's Galaticos 3.0. With Mbappe, Real Madrid will have three young and talented attacking players, Mbappe, Vini Jr. and Rodrygo. They have good balance in their midfield too and if they have any weakness, it is their defense system that need to be enhanced by one to two new players in the summer transfer market.

I think it is good for Mbappe's career because he will join a bigger team so he will be able to stand out more than at PSG, but on the other hand, Mbappe's departure will be quite detrimental for the PSG team.
Mbappe's departure will make Enrique next season have to be able to build a much better PSG team, especially on the front line and that is quite difficult because so far the PSG team has been too dependent on Mbappe on the front line.

Today in French Soccer League, Nice vs Le Havre two teams entered the field to play. Nice team won the match by scoring 1 goal in 12 minutes. Havre team players tried hard to score but Havre team players had a bad performance to score no goals in today's match.  The Havre team could not. In the previous matches, the players of the Havre team performed poorly, due to which many of them are behind in the points table.

[wmaurik]

This season, Nice is still showing that they are quite strong team considering that they only have difference of 1 defeat from the team above them, whatever happens in the future, Nice will still have ticket for the Europa League next season.
Moreover, this season has proven that they are capable of change and development for the better I see that Nice has great potential in the future.
Nice performance this season looks much better than last season because now they can match the play of stronger teams even though it also ends in defeat, at least they are playing with maximum performance.

In terms of opportunities, Nice still has a chance to be in the top four this season if they can continue to win in the remaining matches this season. Because Nice is not far behind Lille, the opportunity is still very open for Nice as long as the team continues to be able to create such great changes in the remainder of this season. Apart from that, Nice can also secure a top five position for this season because Nice is five points ahead of Lens who are ranked sixth in the Ligue1 standings table.

Mbappe has made a lot of drama since 2022 and people might be still remember when he was refuse Real Madrid and extended his contract with PSG at that time most of Real Madrid fans are feeling dissapoint to him because his decision and last summer too Mbappe has make PSG owner was very upset because Mbappe was refuse contract extension with this team and now it has been determined that Mbappe future at PSG officially ended and he will have new club this summer and indeed it's very interesting to discuss which club would be his next destination later and people know Real Madrid is very serious who want him but this is still not certain because everything is still possible to happend

Maybe his decision will be different if PSG can advances to the final match of Champion League because since joining with PSG Mbappe is really want to gets this trophy but unfortunately until his contract ended Mbappe was never able to lifted that trophy with PSG and if he really joining with Real Madrid Mbappe must be willing to have his salary cut because it's impossible for Real Madrid to pay him with his current salary amount but with Real madrid big possibility he can achieve his personal target just like i said above Champion League trophy so we will see if Mbappe really joins Real Madrid or he choose other clubs

[len01]

I think it is good for Mbappe's career because he will join a bigger team so he will be able to stand out more than at PSG, but on the other hand, Mbappe's departure will be quite detrimental for the PSG team.
Mbappe's departure will make Enrique next season have to be able to build a much better PSG team, especially on the front line and that is quite difficult because so far the PSG team has been too dependent on Mbappe on the front line.

behind Mbappe departure, this is a big loss for PSG, but this is a good start for PSG to try to build player talent or at least bring in young players who already look talented and Enrique can improve the talent of these new talents.
this is much better than PSG having to look for new players with high quality but they will never last long at PSG so the team's strengths and weaknesses will not be known to the players.
PSG can see examples of teams from other leagues who currently prefer to recruit young players from academics and try to develop new talents to become key players in the future.

maybe the fans will be sad to see Mbappe leave, but this is just a cycle that will always happen every season and PSG must be wiser in regenerating players to create a strong performance to be able to compete in a prestigious league like the UCL.
