French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Tony116]

Most likely Enrique will try to find a replacement for Mbappe. Mbappe is a special player. And no one can fill the absence. Mbappe is a much improved player. He is physically and mentally very skilled, strong and he is a successful player. No other player can fill Mbappe's absence. Change is good at PSG. Even though Mbappe is not at PSG, he pushes his team to play well and do something new.

PSG's most important player was Mbappe and he scored regularly. Leaving such a player out of the squad will reflect on PSG's overall performance. Luis Enrique has tried to stabilize the team without Mbappe this season. Luis Enrique rested Mbappe for several matches and experimented with the team. But PSG are not strong enough without Mbappe. So Mbappe needs a worthy replacement for Luis Enrique. Osimhen or Vlahovic could be better choices as Mbappe's replacement. I think Luis Enrique will want to add one of these two players to the squad.

Mbappe is just part of the PSG players who often do extraordinary things for the team, but everyone must also remember that Mbappe does not carry PSG alone so the contribution of other players and the PSG coach must also be seen because the team does not only consist of one person. So the achievements of other players at PSG should not be forgotten because Mbappe himself would not have been able to score more goals if there were no other players who passed to him, so praise simply and reasonably without having to exaggerate for just one player.

It seems that every year Lens experiences quite a significant decline, where last season they secured a place in the champions league and at the same time they had to go down to the European league, but in the end they returned home early. This season, Lens failed to get a place in these two competitions and they have to participate in the conference league next season.

I think their performance in Ligue One has a big influence on their performance in other competitions so they can't avoid this. Once they lose the thing that makes them good will continue to be the reason for their decline this season. I don't think there will be any changes that will make Lens return to what they were last season and I think they will remain the same as they are now.

Metz battled Saint Etienne at home to stay in the league.Considering Metz's performance in the last few weeks, it was difficult for Metz to win this game.We saw that they succeeded.They managed to win the game 2-1 despite leading 2-1 at half time.I think that was the maximum that Metz could do, going into the game with 10 men after Diallo was red carded in the 5th minute.If they could have continued with 10 men, we would be talking about different things now. With Diallo's red card in the 5th minute, I think this was the maximum that Metz could do.If they could have continued with 10 men, we would be talking about different things now.Saint Etienne scored in the last minute of extra time despite finding so many positions and reached the chance of promotion to the league.

Diallo must have been very disappointed after the match. His team's efforts were in vain. Metz had to fight for 115 minutes with 10 people. They failed in relegation but gave hope for next year. I hope the players stay in the team. In this case, they may achieve success next year. Saint Etienne deserves great congratulations.

Apart from PSG, of course, we can't expect much from other teams in ligue 1, so far the ligue 1 teams other than PSG is only competing to be able to get a place in the European competition next season, while for the championship competition, of course, it is difficult for us to see in ligue 1 considering the status of PSG which is the most dominant club in France,  While Lens can't do much in Ligue 1 there is certainly no reason for us to expect much if they play in the Champions League, Europe and the Conference next season, but even so this season Lens look completely helpless after they continue to lose a lot of points which has made them slowly drop in the standings.

Lens is not a team that does have a strong enough finance, so it is not surprising that their performance is unstable and often goes up and down in the league so far, Lens was previously only able to be in the top 10 without the ability to be able to enter the top 4, but surprisingly in the last two seasons they were able to compete for qualify European competitions even though it was just for a pass,  to be honest, trophy the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League are still too far away for Ligue 1 teams to achieve in recent seasons.

Enrique can definitely find a replacement for Mbappe as a striker at PSG next season, but we will probably see an announcement because there are still many young players who are quite productive and have the potential to become good players who can compete next season, although there may not be any players who have Mbappe's abilities. but at least it can fill the void in PSG's main squad, perhaps it will take more time for Mbappe's replacement to adapt to the existing players because players are needed who have good experience in adapting quickly to a team.

I haven't seen PSG's plans to buy players and look for a replacement for Mbappe in his position as striker but I think Enrique certainly wants to find the best one who at least has the potential to play the way he wants and the team, it's time for PSG to learn to let Mbappe move to Madrid and that's it. every decision he has taken to play with Madrid next season must be respected, I think PSG must immediately look for replacement players because the sooner the better to prepare this team well so that it can become a strong team like before.

Kylian Mbappé is the best finisher in the world, which makes him an exceptional player. Clubs need such a striker to maximize goalscoring opportunities. For now, it would be difficult to find a replacement easily. It looks like the club will be going for some young, talented players who can be groomed to become a star in the club. It was reported that the club has changed its philosophy of relying on big, expensive players to get results. But I would have advised Luis Enrique to go for an experienced striker while he also gets some young players that will be groomed.

There were speculations that the PSG is targeting the Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen. Napoli is ready to sell the Nigerian for €130m and the French side can be able to afford it. But Victor has shown his love for the Premier League and Chelsea have shown much interest. Napoli will be willing to let him go to any club that is willing to pay the amount so we might end up seeing the striker in PSG..

Maybe they don't want to rush and decide which player they will target, because if they rush, they might make a mistake. Luis Enrique definitely wants the best for Paris Saint Germain, so he will be more selective in choosing the players who will be part of Paris Saint Germain next season.
Moreover, what they have to bring in is a player who must be able to replace the position left by Mbappe, which is certainly not easy. They also definitely want to talk more when they are in a bigger competition, therefore they prepare everything, including not being in a rush to determine the players they will bring in.

Enrique can definitely find a replacement for Mbappe as a striker at PSG next season, but we will probably see an announcement because there are still many young players who are quite productive and have the potential to become good players who can compete next season, although there may not be any players who have Mbappe's abilities. but at least it can fill the void in PSG's main squad, perhaps it will take more time for Mbappe's replacement to adapt to the existing players because players are needed who have good experience in adapting quickly to a team.

I hope Enrique can get talented players who can strengthen the PSG squad, especially in the front line, I still miss the time when there was still Zlatan Ibrahimović at PSG. because in my opinion he is a very good striker, with PSG currently losing one of their quite good strikers they definitely have to look for a replacement even though it may not be comparable but what you said is true at least it can still fill the void in the PSG squad. with the loss of one of the players in their attack line and if PSG has not found a better replacement, I think PSG will experience a decline in performance, this is just a prediction but I hope PSG can perform better next season with the surprises that will be given.

Apart from that, if they succeed in getting new players, of course they need time to process adapting to each other to get to the best point in their performance. No matter how good the players they get to replace Mbappe, of course there will be an adaptation time process, it is unlikely that they will immediately be able to show their best with their new players.

Not entirely sure if I agree with that and consider him the best finisher in the world, but I get the point. While nobody talks about it, I still think that Kane is the best "finisher". This doesn't mean Kane is a better player don't get me wrong, I just mean the skill of finishing, just goal scoring part, in other parts I can of course see why Mbappe is better, he just does many things very well.

However, I still think that PSG will not miss him at all, this dude was someone who is getting paid 60 to 80 million a year, I know I am saying something people said a million times, but you could just pay someone 20-30 million for 5 years, which would be 100-150 million, and pay a team 150 million to get him and it would be 300 million, for five seasons, cheaper than Mbappe.

The point is, of course PSG will recruit new forward players but, it's not about replacing Mbbape. Because clearly, Mbappe is very special because of the skills he has and as such it will be difficult to find players with the same qualities as Mbappe. So yes, basically the search for new players will continue to be carried out, but this means that Enrique will naturally apply different strategies and tactics,  of course by adjusting the players available in the PSG squad next season. After all, basically PSG is a team that has good finances and therefore, it should be easy for PSG to bring in new players in the transfer window.

I think they shouldn't rush into the transfer. Mbappe is an important player, but his absence can be filled by a player somehow. Here, PSG observers and technical staff will have to work overtime to choose the best. Mbappe is gone, but the next name will have to look no further. A difficult period begins for PSG. They should select the best player and add them to the team and play better next year to lift the UCL cup, which is their main goal.

[QueenVera]

It is true that it is impossible for Enrique to randomly bring in players and be able to fill the space in the position left by Mbappe, but in reality Enrique stated that Mbappe is different player and it is difficult to find player who can truly resemble Mbappe.
He is player who is truly great in skill and contribution in every condition, Mbappe can do everything and this is why previously PSG retained Mbappe and many big teams were targeting him, apart from that Mbappe also has winning mentality and doesn't give up easily.
Another great thing about Mbappe is that he can hold the confidence of all PSG players that they are strong enough to win, this is the true spirit of PSG as long as Mbappe is still there.
There are several names such as Osimhen, Rafael Leao and also Marcus Rashford who are very close to buying PSG to fill the void left by Mbappe, but I doubt it will work even though it can be admitted that Serie A has been place where many great players have been created.

I still waiting for developments and seeing how Enrique works to resolve PSG situation of losing its spearhead, maybe he will really be able to get the players he hopes for but not in the near future.

Real Madrid when they get to the Quarter finals of the UCL, you can’t help but get scared of the team when you’re up against them. As they have been able to build a formidable team consisting of great talents. Now they have successfully added Kylian to the team which means more strength to the already firing attack and more worries for opposition defense as the attack is now filled with fast paced and skillful players. Man City seems to be the only club in Europe that will be able to gove Real Madrid some worry in the UCL and you can say that after they were able to win the UCL, they had much of a boost going forawrd.

 You can’t deny the fact that they also have a very strong squad that want to dominate you in game till they get their desired result. ⁠Leverkusen who will be featuring in the UCL next season are going to be one underdog team to watch out for and because of how crazy football can get, it’s pretty difficult to predict how the match will end. I think they can be able to give a good run in the UCL and they will sure be able to withstand the pressure of the competition.

 Well next season UCL will be really one fun one to watch especially with the induction of 4 more slots, Real Madrid new attacking force, Leverkusen after their invincible season and Man City still looking hungry for the UCL. I can’t wait to see how things turn up but one thing I’m sure of is a fascinating performance from Real Madrid team.

Losing Mbappe will certainly not make PSG devastated because as a team they still have the opportunity to bring in other reliable players, but losing Mbappe will actually make their performance decline a little because it is difficult to get a complete player like Mbappe, currently of course Madrid is very benefited by getting Mbappe for free and obviously it should be a regret for PSG because they losing player with a price tag of almost 200 million euros at the moment, PSG is currently of course busy looking for a player who can indeed replace Mbappe role in their front line next season and seeing the limited strikers that are available, of course PSG will have to work hard and need time to get him.

PSG is the richest team in the world and maybe buying players at a high price will not be a problem for them if it suits their needs next season, but I think in addition to focusing on finding a replacement for Mbappe, of course PSG also has to think about the depth of the squad they have, including to add some new players who can indeed strengthen their midfield and also their defense next seasons.

[Lidger]

Rumors that have been swirling for years have finally come to fruition as Mbappe has officially confirmed that he will be playing for Real Madrid from next season. He mentioned it through his post on social media that my dream of playing for the club that I have dreamed of playing since childhood is about to come true and I will definitely be happy to wear the jersey of Real Madrid. Mbappe has already played the last match of his career in the jersey of PSG, now he is only waiting to enter the field for Real Madrid. That possibility is now over and PSG must be looking for another player to replace him. 
Kudos to Mbappe for playing in PSG's jersey for so long and welcome to his new destination.

Everybody have their reasons why they're supporting Kylian Mbappe, he has tried much more but it's time for the young star to become the best and win the Ballon d'Or. PSG valuable player, Mbappe coming to Real Madrid is winning the UEFA Champions League, no two way about it. PSG will missed him and this might lead to the poor stats of the club next season, perhaps Luis Enrique will definitely make new plans without the Frenchman in the picture. Kylian Mbappe wants what's best for him and Real Madrid is the best decision for him.

[TelolettOm]

The problem is, in the French League, there is no club that can compete with PSG, in any case, there is no club whose characteristics can make a truly extraordinary breakthrough. This is quite different from the Bundesliga, which is also often considered an ordinary and boring league because of the dominance of Bayern Munich. However, within it, there are several clubs that have already competed in other Europa Leagues and have more experience compared to the French League. especially this season, competition there is so tight.

I don't think the Bundesliga is that much better. It is more competitive for sure, but keep in mind that Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga for over a decade of years in a row. That doesn't sound to me as if the Bundesliga is highly competitive.

And before some people now think that Leverkusen will take over, let's wait for another season at least. Probably better to wait for two or three more years to see whether a club is really able to meet Bayern par on par. I doubt it. I hope that it will be like that, but I fear that Bayern Munich is going to win the title next year with a landslide performance compared to all other teams.

Compared to French League, so far, Bundesliga is more competitive and much better in general. Especially this season, The Bundesliga even sent 5 representatives to the UCL next season, 2 to the Europa League. while the French League only has 3 to the UCL and 1 to the Europa League. From here, we can see that the Bundesliga is still better and also tighter than the French league for its level of competition. Even if we look at the statistics last season, the French league actually sent 2 to the UCL and the Bundesliga 4. This repeats itself every season.

The point is, of course PSG will recruit new forward players but, it's not about replacing Mbbape. Because clearly, Mbappe is very special because of the skills he has and as such it will be difficult to find players with the same qualities as Mbappe.

Yes, Enrique will definitely be much more careful in finding a replacement for Mbappe at PSG. This will definitely be difficult because Mbappe is a football super star who definitely cannot be easily replaced. However, this position must be filled. So far, there have been several names that have been rumored to be selected and go to PSG. because PSG really doesn't have any problems with finances, so they will definitely get the best. It's just that on several occasions, it seems like rumors regarding PSG's interest in one of Napoli's players are still ongoing. In fact, it wasn't Osimhen, but Kvaratskhelia.


Source: Kvaratskhelia is said to be a target for PSG

The Georgians are quite famous in Napoli, especially this season and have made a very good contribution to Napoli even though the club ended badly in Serie A this time. However, his performance remains good despite Napoli's drop in performance.

star players like Mbappe have dreams that should be pursued and now all dreams have gone half way to what they will achieve after successfully working with Madrid and PSG must let go of Mbappe departure because they must be able to understand how star players who should have a higher career and have a lot of experience must got it.
Mbappe departure from PSG will not cause big problems for Enrique, who currently has big plans to get consistent performance and continue to dominate League 1 even though it will be difficult to compete in the UCL, but at least PSG will no longer depend on just one player.
Enrique has quality intelligence in terms of managing players and currently PSG is still the biggest team in league 1 without worrying that losing star players will not reduce the team's performance because almost all of PSG current players have quality talents.

Enrique this season will have a big challenge bringing PSG without a mainstay player but I'm sure Enrique is very happy with a challenge like this because he also wants to gain new experience with PSG and on the one hand the PSG president must retain Enrique without having to fire him like the previous coach because if fire Enrique I'm sure things will get very bad.
next season will be a new season in League 1 without the presence of Mbappe, all teams will fight without difficulty to try to shift PSG dominance.

Real Madrid is celebrating its 15th Champions League title without Kylian Mbappe, which means there is definitely an opportunity for Kylian Mbappe to feel how sweet it is to win the Champions League title with the team he plays for next season. And for the PSG coach himself, I think he will continue to carry out his duties as usual, namely looking for other players who can be placed in the PSG team next season in order to be able to compete like this season in several important competitions.

It seems that every year Lens experiences quite a significant decline, where last season they secured a place in the champions league and at the same time they had to go down to the European league, but in the end they returned home early. This season, Lens failed to get a place in these two competitions and they have to participate in the conference league next season.

I think their performance in Ligue One has a big influence on their performance in other competitions so they can't avoid this. Once they lose the thing that makes them good will continue to be the reason for their decline this season. I don't think there will be any changes that will make Lens return to what they were last season and I think they will remain the same as they are now.

Apart from PSG, of course, we can't expect much from other teams in ligue 1, so far the ligue 1 teams other than PSG is only competing to be able to get a place in the European competition next season, while for the championship competition, of course, it is difficult for us to see in ligue 1 considering the status of PSG which is the most dominant club in France,  While Lens can't do much in Ligue 1 there is certainly no reason for us to expect much if they play in the Champions League, Europe and the Conference next season, but even so this season Lens look completely helpless after they continue to lose a lot of points which has made them slowly drop in the standings.

The fact is that is true and it is very difficult for other teams to be able to compete with PSG to win the title every season. In the end, they were only able to dominate for a short time before the king of Ligue One took over the running of the competition and they have done that for years.

However, in my opinion, Lens' decline in performance this season is partly because they released their flagship striker who was last season's top scorer, Lois Openda. But on the other hand, like it or not, Lens has to do that as long as the price offered by Leipzig is large enough so that they cannot refuse this transfer. However, teams with poor finances must survive in every competition and one of them is selling their flagship players.
