French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[Palakka]

In Ligue 1, the league is not competitive because there are significant differences between clubs. For example, a club that always dominates the league, Paris Saint Germain, they have above average abilities because they have very good finances, so they will be able to do everything they want because they have money. Meanwhile, other clubs cannot do that, because they do not have the money that Paris Saint Germain has.

I don't know for sure what is wrong with other clubs, but what is clear to me is why they can't bring in big sponsors who can give them a lot of money? Their management or business governance must be able to see this opportunity, I mean they must be able to better convince sponsors to become part of them. Because if situations like this continue to happen then I think Paris Saint Germain won't get much pressure, because they can do anything.

The significant difference in terms of finance of course makes Ligue 1 not have competition like other leagues in Europe so far, PSG is too easy to dominate Ligue 1 and win trophies because their finances are quite strong at the moment compared to other teams who are only competing for slots to the Champions League or European League every season so far,  With strong finances, of course, it is very easy for them to bring in star players to add depth to the squad they have, while other teams in Ligue 1 actually survive only by selling their star players, making it difficult for them to compete in the championship all this time, Ligue 1 was previously a competitive league but after Naseer Al Khelaifi took over PSG, of course since then Ligue 1 has turned into a league farmers.

Like you, of course all of us here are a little confused about the cause of the difficulty of big investors being able to take over other teams in ligue 1, even though if we think, it is impossible that there is no interest from other big investors to be able to acquire other teams such as Marseille, Lille, Lyon or Monaco, to be honest I personally suspect that there seems to be something that does prevent foreign investors from acquiring teams in ligue 1 other than PSG,  because if we look at the management and governance of the team, didn't PSG also have bad management in the past? But strangely it is so easy for them to get a big sponsor like today, besides that I think when PSG was acquired by Naseer al Khelaifi at that time, PSG was not a better and more prominent team than other teams like Monaco.

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.

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.

Real Madrid is the only team in Champions League history to have won 15 Champions League titles. Where other teams put the Champions League title winning star above their club logo, Real Madrid added the star separately to their jersey because there was no other way. Real Madrid didn't have any quality finishers this season yet they won the Champions League trophy but next season one of their best finishers has already joined their club so imagine how formidable this team will be next season. But it will not be a surprise if they add a 16th title to their jersey next season as the team they have formed are favorites to win the Champions League title in the upcoming tournament as well.

Everyone is too busy discussing Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG and discussing their concerns about who will replace Mbappe, whether it is Victor Osimhen or Kvaratskhelia.
Everyone forgets that in the previous season there were rumors that PSG would bring in a striker player on loan but it would definitely be permanent when Mbappe left and that was Gonçalo Ramos, who Enrique now believed could replace Kylian Mbappe.
Gonçalo Ramos managed to achieve 11 scores and 1 assist in League 1 which is proof that he is worthy of being a replacement for Kylian Mbappe in the coming season.

Then what will we think again about our worries?
Meanwhile, there is actually already a replacement for Mbappe who has now been made permanent in January 2024, are we still worried?

PSG is the world's most glamorous club. They have money, a stadium, and fans. But honestly, Goncalo Ramos? Not a "wow" signing. And Kolo Muani? Good but not Mbappe-like.

I like Enrique. It's a challenging task for him. No, not the Spanish national squad. PSG has many talented young players, but potential doesnt win trophies. Experience is needed. They need leaders. The PSG owners are smart. They know they must spend money to advance. It wont be easy to replace Mbappe. If anyone can, it's PSG. They'll find someone

Ligue 1? Ignore it. PSG's got that covered. The Champions League? Different story. The huge weaponry are needed there. You need experienced personnel there. So here's my thought. PSG needs experienced midfield and defensive players. They need winning men. They must act quickly. They must take it seriously to win the Champions League. Must go big. They must act now

PSG needs winning men as you said but PSG doesn’t usually think about that, all they know is to sign young players their performance will not improve the way the team like and win them champion league, PSG has money to sign players but they don’t know how to sign some players who have experience of winning champion league, for me, PSG is not the best team in the world and they waste much on buying players like Messi and Neymar just to win champion league, a player like Neymar and Messi can’t win the champion league for PSG because they are out of their prime and even their performance is not good enough to make them get to semifinal of the champion league.

It will be very difficult for PSG to win the Champions League no matter how they try to sign any player to join the team, PSG doesn’t know how to convince young talented players, all they know is to sign a player with a lot of money and that is the main thing that use to affect players performance, a team like Chelsea and PSG will find it difficult to win champion league because they spend a lot on players who doesn’t worth the price they bought them and their first season they will start performing somehow poor.

[hahay]

we may be too early to speculate but expecting Osimhen to be a replacement for Mbappe seems to be very impossible and it would only be PSG dream to get Osimhen while he is still under contract with Napoli and on the one hand, Osimhen knows how PSG treats Mbappe, who is always in trouble when he wants to move to other teams to improve his career and maybe Osimhen is also thinking about his future career, perhaps if he moves to PSG he will only be a League 1 star, not a UCL star.

Actually PSG performed quite well in the UCL. They made it to the semifinals and that means they are among the elite European clubs. But the problem is that Ligue 1 is often referred to as a farmers' league so not many media highlight Ligue 1. Honestly in my area if there are several matches in one night people will choose to watch the EPL, La Liga or Serie A rather than the Bundesliga or Ligue 1. If Osimhen wants to be a UCL star I think PSG is still very viable because they will almost always play in the UCL every season. But your performance in the league will not be highlighted by many media and this will affect Osimhen's career.

It would be better for Osimhen to play at PSG if he only stays at Napoli, because at PSG at least Osimhen can guarantee to get a trophy every season. Meanwhile, if Osimhen only plays at Napoli, the reality is that to being able to compete in the top four is also difficult for Napoli. Also, PSG recruiting Osimhen is not completely to replace Mbappe's role, because at least Enrique will also adapt the right strategy and tactics to the players in his squad. Moreover, PSG is still making great efforts to be successful in the Champions League and thus, of course playing at PSG will be better because of its continued efforts to make better improvements.

[Raflesia]

But has Goncalo Ramos shown that he can match the playing skills and great achievements that Mbappe has brought to PSG?
I not sure that Goncalo Ramos will really be able to replace Mbappe and of course this would be an ambiguous decision if we really had high hopes for Goncalo Ramos to be able to fill the void and play as Mbappe replacement next season.
Indeed, I admit that Goncalo Ramos is also young and talented player, he has shown his contribution as an attacking player is also quite good, but this will not provide guarantee that he can and deserves to be called replacement for Mbappe.
It not just goals and assists to be able to replace Mbappe, there are several other factors that other players, including Goncalo Ramos, can't have, do you remember what Enrique said during the interview session asking about Mbappe replacement.

It's not a question of replacing or not because in any case for Mbappe with his current condition I don't think he can be compared with some players especially for Ramos because they have different types. In terms of skill and popularity, Ramos still cannot be compared to Mbappe but this is a situation that must prove that PSG will continue to develop even better even though there is no Mbappe there.

They have until now been too dependent on players so that when these players leave it seems as if the club will not be able to develop very well. But in the end we also have to remember that this is a match between clubs where 11 players all have a role not just relying on one player alone and with Mbappe gone now PSG must be able to prove that they are not that dependent on Mbappe even though we know that in the last few seasons Mbappe was the backbone of the team. The last few seasons Mbappe was the backbone of PSG but now they have to get up because Mbappe is gone and it's time to now change the scheme that always relies on Mbappe and replace it with a good cooperation game so that they are glimpsed not only because of Mbappe but PSG is glimpsed because of a club that plays well in terms of performance and cooperation.

[bitgolden]

Ramos definitely looked like a great player, I think it wouldn't be really that bad to just not even buy any new players and just play the same PSG team without Mbappe, they would still win the league with this squad if you ask me. But, they won't do that because they have money, and when you have money that means we are not going to end up seeing someone who will do further, we are not talking about anything more.

We should consider the fact that we are going to make it work one way or another, and that means that we are going to see something change. We should probably consider how that type of situation could change peoples perspective, because if they have money and not spend, that would not be ideal situation for PSG, and fans would be mad.

Lille got a new coach, Bruno Genesio, which used to train Lyon until 2019 then Rennes.
It was announced that Paulo Fonseca quit the team after the end of his contract and he has intentions to return to Serie A and be the coach of AC Milan and took the place of Stefano Pioli.
Rennes this season wasn't top comparing to the previous one and the new coach has a clear objective since the beginning of the league and it is get a place in UEFA Champions League groups.

Even though Lille had a pretty good season here and the question remains why Lille didn't try to persuade Paulo Fonseca to stay and give him a contract extension. Even if there is a request from management and the players, he should be willing to stay, but if his desire is to coach a bigger team then that cannot be stopped.

Every coach wants to be successful in a big team and like Paulo Fonseca, he will try his luck if he coaches Milan in the future. On the other hand, Bruno Genesio certainly has a big responsibility after the departure of the previous Lille coach and whether or not he can consistently bring Lille into the top four competition will still be quite a difficult process.

Lille wanted to keep Fonseca badly. This says all about his abilities. But you know, when you're good, you're in demand. Everyone wants a piece of the action. And Fonseca, he's ready for the big leagues. He has the knowledge, guts, and vision to elevate Milan. His Lille record is excellent. He's a pitch genius. He takes risks and makes aggressive actions. Championing requires that. And Genesio? He's got work to do. Admittedly, Rennes wasnt great. Lille may be what he needs. Start over, new task. Undoubtedly, he has a wonderful team. He could ignite those guys, who knows? They may surprise everyone.

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..

It's just speculation but I think Osimhen is the most viable option at the moment after they were left behind by Mbappe. PSG still dominates in Ligue 1 even without Mbappe, but at European level their strength will drop drastically. Mbappe really carried PSG. Osimhen has a release clause of €130m. That's a big price but It's not a problem for PSG. Unfortunately they had to release Mbappe on a free transfer. They should not have to pay €130m because Mbappe's market value is around €150m.

Osimhen last season was quite down compared to before and Osimhen is not a suitable replacement to replace Mbappe, especially at a fairly expensive price, and does not match his performance this season.
For PSG, of course money is not an obstacle for them, but they are also thinking about not wasting money on unreliable players, because Osimhen's performance has declined this season, it would be good for PSG to think about making an offer to Julián Álvarez because his performance was superior to Osimhen.

I think, with the bad results that Napoli got does not make Osimhen also judged badly because after all, it seems that the problem is about their coach who is not right. Thus, then Napoli get bad results but with the bad results that Napoli get, I'm sure it's not just because of Osimhen's failure. So yes, if Napoli price Osimhen at that price I think it doesn't matter too much because anyway, of course there will also be negotiations that will occur until an agreement is made. Because I am sure, Osimhen is suitable to play at PSG because after all, Osimhen is also young and it will be good for the long term of PSG too. What's more, previously Chelsea had an interest in getting Osimhen, but it seems that lately Chelsea may have gotten other players and abandoned their intention to bring Osimhen.

Well I say something, Oshimen's performance is not entirely his fault, it is also the fault of his coach, if the coach does not give him freedom to play as he makes his plays, he cannot do anything, he is tied, he has to follow the system under which the coach has assigned him, then in Serie A, Napoli was very bad, you can't deny it, they also had their good moment when they were champions, but times change, and football changes too, so now things are different for him, he already has other offers, PSG and Chelsea, either of the two teams would do him well, out of necessity it would be spectacular if he went to Chelsea who need to do something now.

If you talk about fan, PSG is losing a lot of followers right now. I am talking about the social media. Remember when Lionel Messi joined PSG, they were getting followers like crazy. I remember that I was actually trying to see how many followers they had gained. I would refresh the page once and it would go up like a couple of thousands. When Lionel Messi left PSG, they had lost almost around 800,000 followers only on Instagram alone.

now that Mbappé is also leaving PSG, I am not going to be surprised if I refresh the page and account goes down like it went up at the time Lionel Messi joined. It seems to me that at least a majority of PSG fans are actually there for some certain players. It is not like Real Madrid or Barcelona, because in those clubs it does not matter who stays or leaves, the follower count stays about the same. But I guess that is understandable because PSG does not have a history like them. They are only known for farming trophies in the Ligue 1 and not winning the Champions League title.

When a club decline in performance, every member of the team will share the blame collectively and not all the blame pointed out to one person. We know how unplanned and challenging things have been for the Nigeria International, he's trying very hard to out himself back to good form because he needs to meet up the high expectations of fans and the club.

Are you pointing out the fact that Victor Osimhen doesn't have freedom of speech in Napoli? He's free and can take any decision that pleases him, he's one of the top goal scorers for the club and his contribution have been nothing but special and enormous.

PSG without Mbappe will not be as strong as they used to be, and winning the League 1 title is possible but might be a bit tricky and difficult because we have seen teams that tried to compete hard against PSG, and if these teams keep the pressure next season and PSG decided not to sign more players before the beginning of the season, then Brest, Lille, and some teams might win the League ahead of PSG.

I am very sure that PSG will use their money to sign more players to get a good replacement for Mbappe and some world class players that will keep the team going so that they will maintain their reputation of been the best team in the league.

If they do not make any adjustment to the team by introducing some new signings outside of the French League following the exit of Mbappe, trust me if I tell you that their highest achievement will be the French Lig 1 title next season. They should never nurse any ambition of getting close to the semi finals of the champions league like they did this last season. I am not saying that they do not have good players, just that the squad is not just competitive enough to face other tough European teams like Bayern Munic, Man City or Real Madrid. You should not forget that it is expected that Mbappe leaving will create a huge vacuum in the team which require an external person to fill.

It is certainly a difficult choice for Osimhen if he wants to join PSG, but what is clear is that PSG will definitely find it difficult to find a replacement for Mbappe on the front line, Enrique will definitely find a replacement before Ligue 1 starts, PSG's biggest challenge is finding the right players. productive so that PSG can reach the UCL final next season and thinks that PSG without Mbappe will be a bad team next season. but I think PSG can still play better next season with new, more productive players.

We are all waiting for who PSG will recruit to play in the main squad next season, I think they have to find young players who have the potential to become star players and are also productive, learn to take advantage of previous experience not to recruit players whose performance has declined so they are too wasted. money but unable to reach the UCL final next season. The competition will get tougher and Enrique will definitely have the opportunity to choose the players he wants to fill the main squad.

I looked for news related to Osimhen and PSG, but what I found was old news or rumors. Even though he was linked with PSG, based on reports, Romano clarified that Osimhen is currently not involved in further negotiations with other clubs, even though there are rumors circulating. In fact, it is not rumored that Paris Saint-Germain is seriously targeting this player from Napoli. However, Romano also reported that negotiations will begin next week with several clubs who want his services. It could be that Enrique will take part in persuading him to join the Parc des Princess. Who knows, PSG is waiting for the right momentum. Even though it seems like it will be difficult to bring him in, if the financial effort is commensurate, it can attract Osimhen's attention to join. well, who knows, anything could happen anyway. but if that doesn't happen, or PSG is more interested in other players. they can easily bring him in, especially since the player is also interested in the salary offered.

What is certain is that Paris Saint-Germain will look for options to keep their team competitive since Mbappe was confirmed to join Real Madrid.
IMO, for me PSG has a sufficient squad if only for Ligue 1. They have Gancalo Ramos, Komo Muani, Dembele and several other young players. and other problems, Enrique needs a midfielder like he wants. As for Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, not very reliable. perhaps, several PSG players will be released in this summer's transfer window.  and brought in some worthy entrants for several line sectors. I am sure that Enrique, with his experience, knows the needs of his team. especially, if the club returns to aiming for a Champions League mission. Therefore, there are no other words other than let's follow their hunt in the next transfer window.

The latest news is that it turns out that the rumors regarding Osimhen going to PSg this season are just rumors. In fact, Enruqie prefers to promote their own players as replacements for Mbappe. because he realized that they still had a number of players who were truly talented and very suitable for the French club. Randal Kolo Muani and also Gonçalo Ramos are the internal players who will be further promoted by Enrique in the next season.

With this news, Osimhen's chances of going to Arsenal are even higher. Because previously, not only PSG but also Chelsea had not focused on this Napoli player.

Changing coaches which occurs 3 times in one season certainly affects the performance of the players and that is what made Osimhen fail to show his best form last season. It's not the player fault if we look into it in depth because the big mistake was of course the owner of Napoli who fired Spalletti which made the team situation even more chaotic with the new coach. So, last season must be a valuable lesson for the Napoli team or owner, where he must fully trust the coach he appointed.

It is not certain that Osimhen will stay with Napoli even though he is still under contract. Of course, if Napoli and Osimhen have agreed to separate then that will happen. But for now it seems like there is no team that is really serious about recruiting Osimhen. Osimhen is a player of quite good quality after he succeeded in bringing Napoli to the Scudetto trophy in the previous season so he is still a target for top European teams in this transfer market.

[Weawant]

You should not forget that it is expected that Mbappe leaving will create a huge vacuum in the team which require an external person to fill.

Even with mbappe the highest the have gotten most times has been the french Ligue 1, so it's no new thing, infact it's even a good achievement if they are able to keep on with the dominance and winning of the french Ligue 1 in the absence of mbappe, because that will mean that they were able to still maintain their strength a d their dependency wasn't on mbappe. Hopefully they get to achieve such height.

Going away from the french league to get a player to replace mbappe will not guarantee they will do any better in other Leagues either, it's high time PSG start looking and thinking differently in another direction because I observe they keep doing same thing over again and still remains within the Ligue 1 and almost never getting beyond. I don't and wouldn't want to undermine the chances of getting a good and Young talent around the french league who could be of a great importance to PSG, mbappe was once a young and up coming before he got to this point of his career.

Looking deep into the league ore wherever it is they would want to a d start building a team, by removing their mindset from the fact that they must buy a star player in oder for them to succeed beyond the Ligue 1 , after all they have the financial capacity, just like Leverkusen, they can look inwards and work with what they have and it's possible they can build a very strong team at all levels from there, this has always been my opinion.

[TelolettOm]

After rumors of Mbappe leaving, since then there have been many rumors regarding who will replace Mbappe at PSG. The most significant are the rumors regarding Osimhen joining PSG. However, recently, Enrique stated that instead of bringing in players from outside, he would choose internal players who he already knew well and who actually had very good potential for PSG.

Yes, Ramos is the player who will replace Mbappe as striker at PSG. And this is not without reason. Ramos was able to make a very good contribution to PSG last season, even when Mbappe was still there. It's just that his name doesn't shine as high because he is less famous than Mbappe. However, regarding his performance, he can actually be relied on for PSG in the future.

Ramos provided 14 goals and also 2 assists this season. He is still only 22 years old, so he still has a long way to go and develop himself with PSG.

The popularity of  Ligue 1 is going to decrease a lot since Mbappé has left PSG. He was probably the only one who was keeping the PSG club relevant towards the whole world. And now that he has left, the world is going to stop following PSG. The majority of the people that actually follow Ligue 1 do it because of PSG. So when the popularity of PSG is going to decreases, the popularity of Ligue 1 is going to decrease automatically. By now people also probably have understood that PSG is not actually a very competitive team. They just have a lot of money and does not have any competition in the domestic league. That’s why they have been able to win the Ligue 1 title again and again. They have never been able to win the Champions League trophy and I do not see them breaking that record in the next season as well.

-snip-

But has Goncalo Ramos shown that he can match the playing skills and great achievements that Mbappe has brought to PSG?

I will ask you, would you also say something like this when Mbappe was still on loan from Monaco with 14 scores achieved by Mbappe?
You may doubt Gonçalo Ramos, but look back at a player you are proud of with high talent, who used to be the same as Gonçalo Ramos when he first joined PSG, then do you still doubt him?
A player who has a higher talent like Mbappe needs time to achieve that success and you have to understand how your doubts are wrong for me.

I not sure that Goncalo Ramos will really be able to replace Mbappe and of course this would be an ambiguous decision if we really had high hopes for Goncalo Ramos to be able to fill the void and play as Mbappe replacement next season.
Indeed, I admit that Goncalo Ramos is also young and talented player, he has shown his contribution as an attacking player is also quite good, but this will not provide guarantee that he can and deserves to be called replacement for Mbappe.
It not just goals and assists to be able to replace Mbappe, there are several other factors that other players, including Goncalo Ramos, can't have, do you remember what Enrique said during the interview session asking about Mbappe replacement.

Ambiguous?
Do you remember how in the 2017-2018 season Kylian Mbappe only scored 13 scores and now you are saying your doubts about Gonçalo Ramos when he first joined PSG and it's the same as you comparing the old players with the new players, it's clearly very different. .
It doesn't make sense if you say your doubts are without any basis just looking at the talent that Mbappe currently has while you ignore Mbappe's past, which for me is the same as Gonçalo Ramos.
If you still have doubts and don't believe it, you can look for more information regarding Mbappe in his past since he was with Monaco and until he first joined PSG.
Read this, so you have knowledge

Since defending Monaco, it has become clear how much potential Mbappe has and after that he showed how successful he was in winning the World Cup and getting the title of best young player.
This quality is what makes the difference, if we look at both of their respective track records, we will see that Mbappe showed all his potential for greatness as an attacker when he was still 18 years old.
Remember, 18 years old is still very young age, but Mbappe was able to achieve great success and achievements which indirectly at that time made him one of the best young players in Europe, and these are all facts that cannot be denied.

Regarding Goncalo Ramos, I admit that he is quite great player at the age of 22, but the question is whether at the age of 18 he can achieve great success and achievements like Mbappe?
This will be the main question and reason if want to compare Mbappe with Goncalo Ramos, after all, Mbappe has proven to everyone that he has very capable playing qualities since he was very young.
Moreover, what Enrique said about Mbappe and his replacement was more than enough for me to conclude all this.

If they do not make any adjustment to the team by introducing some new signings outside of the French League following the exit of Mbappe, trust me if I tell you that their highest achievement will be the French Lig 1 title next season. They should never nurse any ambition of getting close to the semi finals of the champions league like they did this last season. I am not saying that they do not have good players, just that the squad is not just competitive enough to face other tough European teams like Bayern Munic, Man City or Real Madrid. You should not forget that it is expected that Mbappe leaving will create a huge vacuum in the team which require an external person to fill.

PSG's strength will be clearly different next season as a result of Mbappe's departure to Real Madrid, but to just become champions again in Ligue1 I also think that it won't be that difficult for PSG because considering that the other teams in Ligue1 are also not experiencing such significant developments. However, for the UCL competition, PSG certainly won't be able to do much if there are no more reliable players in their squad next season. Moreover, other teams that will also enter the UCL next season, such as Real Madrid, already have quite an extraordinary line-up of players next season.
