Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

Yesterday we watched two important matches, the first was PSG-Rennes. In the first half, Rennes scored at the end of the first half and closed the first half 1-0 ahead. Rennes scored the second goal in the first minutes of the second half and despite PSG increasing the pressure, they did not concede a goal. This is an important win for Rennes. I didn't expect them to get 3 points in a tough away match. When we look at the matches between them, I already saw that Rennes gave PSG trouble, so Rennes is a team that is against PSG.

Even though PSG dominated possession, they were surprised by Rennes at the end of the first half. PSG didn't feel confident until the second half had to concede again for the second goal, this defeat actually embarrassed PSG at home because the visiting team was unexpectedly able to excel in this match. Cheesy

This match showed us that money and squad don't matter, that it doesn't matter if you don't have more possession. The one who gets into position and scores wins. When we look at the squads of the two teams, PSG are clearly superior and it is normal to expect them to win at home. But soccer is such a strange sport that anything can happen at any moment. That's why we watch and wait with excitement until the last minute.

I understand that the criticism for PSG must be very harsh, it is not something that is good for this team because now since they have lost almost everything, they lost the UCL, apart from that they are losing right now in Ligue 1, this is not good for this team, also I don't know what plans the Sheikh has right now, with the winning squad they have it's for them to win whatever, maybe they have to ask Real Madrid how to play with stars since at one time they were called the "Galácticos" even though for me They still are, personally if they leave Ney and Messi I don't know what will happen to PSG.

This gets good:

The talk of the town at Paris Saint-Germain as of late has been the uncertain future of Lionel Messi at the club. The Argentine forward is set to become a free agent in the upcoming summer transfer window.

There have been some who have called for PSG to not push to sign Messi to a new contract deal, while others believe that the Ligue 1 side should go all out to keep the Argentine forward at the club. For former FIFA World Cup winner Bixente Lizarazu, he would like to see Messi remain at PSG.

“I’m going against the grain, but I want to see Messi extend his stay in Paris for another year,” Lizarazu said on Telefoot. “I want us to still have the privilege of seeing him in France. He is the greatest player in history, at least in the 20 twenty years. He showed at the World Cup that he can still play at a very high level, yes, he was disappointing against Bayern, but like the whole PSG team.”
