French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[pewboy]

Under Luis Enrique, PSG have won the biggest title in club football for two consecutive seasons. Luis Enrique led PSG to their first ever Champions League title, so it is natural that PSG may not let him go anytime soon. However, I would not like to see a manager stay at the same club for too long, because it is difficult to maintain success in the same place for a long time. Even with the same team, managers do not always have the same form, when a manager starts to perform poorly, it is wise for him to change teams.

It is not that Luis Enrique will be successful in the following seasons because he gave PSG the first taste of the Champions League, but rather it will be very difficult for him to maintain this success over time. However, for now, he will stay with PSG and for the next 2-3 seasons he will be with PSG. Then he may decide to leave the team.

But it is normal that every team evolves, changes, transforms itself differently every year, sooner or later the cycle of victories will end but because it is mathematically impossible for them to continue winning the UCL, there are teams that are becoming more and more aggressive and in the process of improving, ready to snatch the great cup from the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris Saint-Germain has already achieved great success by winning the Champions League two years in a row. Even if they don't win this year, they have left their mark in the Champions League. Furthermore, I trust that the manager will build the best possible Paris Saint-Germain team for the Champions League next year. Their current squad is young and very high-quality. With this squad, I believe Paris Saint-Germain will reach at least the semi-finals again next year.

 I do have this feeling that he might resign from the Ligue 1 if he wins the Champions league for the third time with PSG, he might want to look for challenge in another league or go international like Zidane and Jurgen has done. Before now rumors had it that he might not extend his contract but it's nice to see him stay and try winning the Champions league again with PSG.
 The management of PSG would do everything possible to keep him for a long time, the money is there so they can get him any player he needs or give him a better wage than he's receiving, some that would convince him to stay longer instead of resigning soon.

After wining the Champions league title for the third time, there will almost be nothing to really win again because the Ligue 1 has never been an issue to win so it will become boring for Enrique, so it is very possible and likely that he may want to exit and look to going somewhere else where he will be faced with some new form of challenge with which he will have to exercise his tactical prowess as one top European coach.

Money will definitely not be the challenge to him and PSG management are very pleased with him and will likely do all it will take to keep him in the team.

This is clear, as the tangible evidence PSG has received over the past two seasons truly demonstrates that Enrique deserves the recognition he deserves from the club. And next season, I remain confident that PSG will remain a strong team, capable of making further strides in the Champions League and potentially winning the Ligue 1 trophy again. Because in Ligue 1, only PSG can afford to bring in players of such high quality, even above the average of other teams.

Once upon a time there was a more competitive competition with Lyon or Marseille, while today when Paris Saint-Germain surpasses the second place by 10 points and practically closes the championship because it becomes extremely difficult to get them back into first position, Lens has come close, trusting in the tiredness of the players competing in 3 championships.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Right now, in my opinion, there's no league in Europe as strong and with as many quality players as the Premier League. I think Luis Enrique is happy in France and has won two Champions League titles with Paris Saint-Germain. The club doesn't want to let him go. However, if he wants to leave, that's his choice, of course. In my opinion, whichever team signs him if he goes to the Premier League will have accomplished something great. I would say he's currently the best manager in the world.

Yes, at club level he's a genius, but his time in Spain when he coached the team at the World Cup was a bad experience. Perhaps at the time he brought in too many inexperienced and very young players, and that's what went wrong for him. Now he's achieved a good balance at PSG, and there will be some good role models at PSG. He just needs to work a little more with the new players so they can adapt.

I have also heard that Luis Enrique is preparing to sign a contract extension which is until 2030. Those news were on the internet a few months ago actually.

But the deal hasn't got official yet as it seems... It's the best for PSG while they are winning CL trophies thanks to his system.  

There have been many good managers to take over at PSG so far but none of them did as good as him.

Yes, Luis Enrique was close to extending his contract with the French club, in fact I think that this manager who won two consecutive seasons of the UCL with PSG has a lot of experience and he has helped each player to perform in a unified manner. At this stage, it seems that the Paris Saint-Germain club will definitely extend the contract with the Spanish manager because he is the only manager in the history of PSG who has been able to achieve success in the Champions League in two seasons and he has also won the French league title. You are right that so far PSG has had many good managers but no one has been as good as Enrique in the UCL.

I do have this feeling that he might resign from the Ligue 1 if he wins the Champions league for the third time with PSG, he might want to look for challenge in another league or go international like Zidane and Jurgen has done.

The French club has been the most successful under Luis Enrique because I think they have already won the biggest trophy in the league. Honestly, if PSG gets the chance, they will probably keep this experienced manager for a few more seasons because they have a hunger to win trophies in the upcoming UEFA Champions League season. We have noticed that the squad of this French club is young and very high quality and they are trying their best to go to the UCL and the French League trophy. We have even noticed that after Luis Enrique took charge of this team, the team has played with a very strong mentality and they have been able to touch these trophies back to back which is a record for them, however at this stage it seems that PSG may be able to dominate the UCL even more in the upcoming season.

Coach doesn't get tired when they're wining trophies because is the reason why they choose to become a coach, third time champions League is not yet to be considered too much so actually if PSG win, Enrique is still going to prepare for another fourth time because is not only players that has the vision of Undisputed performance because coaches also do and is through records that they're offered higher amounts so actually Enrique will leave eventually to another club but definitely not because of the reasons that he has won every league for PSG because if he still doesn't get signed by big club he may not win champions league for them.

It's the pride of a coach to win trophies for the team that hired him because it will lead to increase in pay when his contract expires. He will also add that to his own history as a coach and that will tell the world that he's a good coach. Lastly, other big clubs will be looking out for him to come coach their team.

Luis Enrique is a great coach of this time. He might retire from being a club coach if he leaves PSG and decides to be a national team coach since he has achieved it all in club side.

[SOKO-DEKE]

PSG are looking as if they will still be Ligue 1 champions after the end of the season except another team rises up. Lens looked like strong contenders but when it mattered the most to take it, they flopped. It just reminded me of how Arsenal in the EPL behave. With new teams being promoted, it's left for them to up their game or allow those big teams to use them for easy three points.

PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1, and with that, they are the favorites to win the Ligue 1 title again next season. It is possible to see another team try to compete with them, just the way Lens did last season, but I will not say for now that any other team is likely to win the Ligue 1 title from PSG next season. It will be better for the season to start before we fully judge which team is most likely to become the Ligue 1 champion.

The reason I do not feel that any team can easily become Ligue 1 champion is because I have not seen the serious steps other teams have taken to compete with PSG. They have not made the signings that would make anyone think they can compete with PSG. They are not ready to spend and rebuild their teams so that they can also win the league title. That is why many people believe PSG will continue to dominate the league for a long time.

You are right, who could have imagine Paris Saint Germain would win two Champions League in a row. Because this is the same PSG that once had best players in the world on their team and they couldn't win it. I'm referring to when they had Lionel Messi, Neymer and Kylian Mbappe in their attacking line. Anyone that saw this frontline knew very well that you could have big expectations from them to a team the champions league title, but they were unable to win for Paris Saint Germain.

But look at this young players have done it twice in a row for PSG. nobody knows what the future holds but in my opinion, I'm still confident that they can still achieve it again because currently they have best manager in the world.

Yeah, PSG have displayed a very strong performances last season and that’s why everyone seeing them up to now that their a strong team. Because if we look at their performance in the last two seasons ago they’ve been doing well in the champions league, but with how every teams are prepare against next am sure that they might be a team that will be more stronger than PSG.

The reason I do not feel that any team can easily become Ligue 1 champion is because I have not seen the serious steps other teams have taken to compete with PSG.

Many people’s believe that that PSG will continue to dominate the league, but to me I think it’s too early to make that prediction even when you stated that they’ve not made the signing let me tell if you don’t since when the World Cup was going on, some teams was busy signing players so in this case am expecting next season competition to a be tough one.

[Slow death]

Luis Enrique is a great coach of this time. He might retire from being a club coach if he leaves PSG and decides to be a national team coach since he has achieved it all in club side.

Luis Enrique was the coach of the Spanish national team for four years, from 2018 to 2022. From what I've researched, he didn't win the World Cup, Euro 2020, or the UEFA Nations League while coaching Spain. Therefore, I highly doubt he would accept a job coaching any other country. It would cause him a lot of trouble. Luis Enrique, like Guardiola, is a good coach, but he only thrives with large teams that have unlimited financial resources. He's not the type of coach to take a small, underfunded team and turn it into a great one.

PSG just won Ligue 1 again, and they are easily the favorites for the upcoming 2026/27 season. About Lens - they literally just finished right behind them as runners last season, fighting hard just like you mentioned. The rest of the teams are simply not spending enough cash or bringing in big name players to actually challenge Paris. It’s early days, but until the games start, nobody is stopping them. With such sponsors and financial resources, PSG dictates the terms it wants. I don't expect any changes in the near future.

[macson]

There have been many good managers to take over at PSG so far but none of them did as good as him.

Sooner or later, they'll have to part ways with Enrique. They can't keep him at the club forever. So, I think that with Enrique still under contract, PSG has already begun preparing to find his successor in the future. With the "oil money" they have, they should be able to find a capable coach who can continue what Enrique has done at PSG. While it's still uncertain whether the new coach will be able to match the level of success Enrique has achieved, that's a problem the new coach will have to face.

So far there's no team rises up. They basically play with the same squad they did last season. PSG is the only one who is consistently making improvement every year. The odds is also already spilled if they're winning this league again.
Apart from that we can't count on Lens, they're just as mediocre as the rest of clubs in the league 1. PSG is obviuosly winning this again, no doubt.

As long as no billionaire come to acquire this clubs in this league. PSG always hold the trophy everyyear forever.

[Majestic-milf]

I don't think anyone will be able to compete with PSG in the new season because they're still working on strengthening their squad, while other teams either can't afford it or have other goals. I also don't think Lens will be able to repeat such a successful season this season, and PSG will have the same ease in the new season as they did in previous years. The question is whether there will be a team that can compete with PSG, or whether they will become champions long before the end of the season.

I feel it's something that can be done because if you look at it, PSG were involved in do many competitions and were almost close to losing it if Lens had stood their ground, they would have overtaken Luiz Enrique's boys. PSG are a good team but they also have lapses and it showed because they kept conceding goals that should have been avoided but let's see how this season will go.

PSG was competing in several competitions, but they had enough highly rated reserve players. I was happy when Lens topped the league, hoping that there would be a new champion of the French League. Fatigue, injuries, and other factors affected Lens as the League progressed, and they dropped several points.

My hope of having a new champion next season is still alive. PSG still have the best players and financial backing for now. Maybe an investor from the Middle East could take charge of a French side, or maybe there might be a repeat of the Leicester 2016 EPL miracle in Ligue One.

Last year, PSG focused more on the Champions League than the French league because their league squad was mostly made up of their second-tier players. Despite this, they managed to win the championship at the end of the season. Therefore, there's practically no team PSG can't beat in the French league with their main squad. They are two-time Champions League winners and have a clear advantage over every team, including Bayern Munich. They may have dropped points in some matches in France, but player rotation played a role in that.

With new teams being promoted, it's left for them to up their game or allow those big teams to use them for easy three points.

One thing that could have made Lens able to compete for the Ligue 1 title was because PSG was focused on defending the UCL trophy and at that time PSG's performance was slightly lower compared to the previous season. So that could have allowed Lens to compete for the top of Ligue 1. However, towards the end of the season, PSG managed to score points consistently and managed to take the top of the standings. So with PSG's performance like that, it would have been more difficult for Lens and other teams to take the top spot, especially if PSG were in their best form, perhaps they could dominate the league from start to finish.

Paris Saint-Germain has already achieved great success by winning the Champions League two years in a row. Even if they don't win this year, they have left their mark in the Champions League. Furthermore, I trust that the manager will build the best possible Paris Saint-Germain team for the Champions League next year. Their current squad is young and very high-quality. With this squad, I believe Paris Saint-Germain will reach at least the semi-finals again next year.

Absolutely feasible, Paris Saint-Germain has potential that could lead it to win its third Champions League in a row, however football is unpredictable and there are many teams who are increasingly more aggressive.
I'm very happy for Luis Enrique because he deserved it to win the 2 championships won by Paris Saint-Germain, he's a good coach.
