[giorgione]

PSG won the ligue One, they've celebrated and keeping themselves 100% for game this month. Everyone is talking about the UEFEA Champions League trophy which whole is between two elite teams. PSG headcoach, Luis Enrique lost one major trophy to an EPL side, this time just make good decisions and win games.

PSG has maintained the top of the table in a precise manner, they worked hard and also had fun with a little party, but its not time for celebrations, they also have to face a final, its a very serious thing and they have to stay very focused because Arsenal won't give them a break, they have only one chance and they want to exploit it

Do you expect any solid resistance by Auxerre against Lille? As a reminder they are fighting not to relegate... Lille are also trying to qualify for the league phase of the Champions League directly.

Meanwhile Lyon will look for an opportunity to take their place back with a final attack just before the end of the season. I don't think they will lose points against Lens home. You know Lens are finishing the season at the 2nd position for certain.

Guys, do you really believe that in the Paris vs PSG match, PSG will win easily? I don’t think so.

It’s not like I’m underestimating the Ligue 1 giants, but PSG don’t really have any motivation left, and in my opinion giving 3 points to Paris wouldn’t change anything for them anyway. On top of that, in other competitions PSG have already lost to Paris before. So mentally, Paris should be pretty confident and ready to take all 3 points from PSG.

Winning Ligue 1 isn't that difficult for PSG as long as their rivals remain average and not significantly stronger than PSG. Therefore, every season, PSG has always dominated Ligue 1 and won it at the end, as everyone has seen last season, this season, and in previous seasons. Now, PSG must focus on the much more prestigious trophy: the Champions League. PSG still has a chance to win it if they can beat Arsenal, as the Premier League team still faces considerable pressure, as their position in the Premier League standings remains uncertain.

PSG is preparing for the final and when they do it they do it very well, we saw what they did with Bayern Munich and how they managed the match, in fact they put this team under pressure, which is not exactly the latest team to arrive, so i think they will do the same thing with Arsenal even if it will be completely without references..

PSG have secured the league title once again and are anticipating another European glory for the second consecutive time, the significance of the title they won recently in the league one is that it would boost the team's morale to go into the champions league finals against Arsenal with the mentality of champions which is quite important for the team.


Arsenal on the one hand have to also strife to ensure they also secure the premier league title so as to be on the same page with their french counterpart when they face off in the champions league finals later this month in Hungary,

PSG will approach the match with their second team and they will win the match, they will not give out compete three points to Paris Club because even if they have the three points it is of no use to them because they are not in the relegation battle, likewise they are not in contention to play any European competition next season, so they don’t need the three points even if PSG decide to giveaway the three points because it is obvious that PSG will not play 80% of their first team players because the Champions League final preparation; they will want to have their squad fit against Arsenal.

Let me join in congratulating PSG on winning the Ligue 1 title this season again, it was not an easy one but they won in the end, at some point many taught Lens could take over and win but PSG persisted and now they are the title Holders again. Now on to the nex.

The champions league will be their greatest focus now and we can only hope they are able to defend the title as the defending champions from last season. Next season is another opportunity for Lens to attempt the title again, maybe they can be lucky this time.

I was one of the few persons who taught Lens was going to win the French Ligue 1 title this season because at some point they almost top PSG with big points but even as they didn't succeed in winning the title and stopping PSG's dominance this season they were a real threat to PSG and they made PSG to sit up and fight for the title this season before they were able to win it.

You are right, even though Lens didn't end up winning the Ligue 1 title eventually at the end of the day. But one good take away we saw from Lens we saw this season was that there was a real threat to the dominance of PSG that they have enjoyed throughout the previous years. I expect that if Lens can build upon this success that they have enjoyed come next season they will be a threat and can dethrone PSG when it comes to the ligue 1 title race.

In the premier league Arsenal has the most chances off winning  the Premier League title  than others does, they are at advantage more than other teams at the top 4 on the table, it is assumed that their remaining two fixtures are such that is not supposed to be a challenge  enough  for them and so they may not be as disturbed as we may  want to think of them even as it seem like there is some sort of pressure on them in this regards.

It will be best and more productive for Arsenal if they are more focused on one title and get it right, the premier league appears more important to them, they can invest more in that maybe and attempt  the champions league next season maybe.

PSG winning the league wasn't a surprise, in fact it taking this long was the surprise. But people do not understand why this happened. If you do go back and check the minutes of the players you will see that most of their good players did not play that much this season, they were rested (injured they said) for majority of the league, so they basically did a whole rotation where one was missing while others playing and this allowed every player to rest and relax and be fresh even at the end of the season.

Look at them playing against Bayern, all the players at Bayern were tired and gassed while PSG was still fresh and pressing all the way until the end. And the way they play, they had to be well rested to be that great.

The road to winning the Ligue 1 title was not smooth for PSG this season. Lens fought hard. If PSG could not perform well in ligue 1 , they  would not have won the title. At the same time, their performance in the champions league was  also very good. In the knockout round, they faced strong teams like Chelsea, munich and liverpool. Winning against munich was a big challenge. But psg  qualified for the final by defeating munich. PSG is also considered as the favorite in the final. If they can win the champions league title twice in a row, it will be a new record for Luis enrique.

You're exaggerating PSG's performance in the Champions League. They couldn't even get into the top 8. Plus, look at how many goals they conceded in the group stage, you could say PSG sucked for half the season. And you're wrong to put Liverpool and Chelsea on the same level as Bayern, they're at completely different levels now (Liverpool and Chelsea aren't even in the top four of the Premier League). The fact that PSG rescheduled games to win these ties speaks volumes.
