PSG's job looks really difficult this season surely. That embarrassing loss against Newcastle in the Champions League made me think that it will be even more challenging for PSG to qualify for last 16 stage. Milan should be even tougher to defeat for PSG on paper. Seeing PSG in the Europa League would be devastating for the fans.
I even doubt their chance to win the Ligue 1 title for now. Because they aren't so different here either. They play their league matches really inconsistently. They win 4-0 against Marseille but can't even score against Clermont for example. Monaco and Nice are taking advantage of the situation for now. Maybe we can see a new champion this season.
The match has just entered its eighth week and there is still a long way to go for every team in Ligue 1 so there will be other surprises that occur when the match enters the halfway point of the season. Luis Enrique must make the most of the games ahead and a heavy defeat to Newcastle in the Champions League will have a negative impact on them progressing to the next phase. If the coach does not respond quickly it can make the players mentally unstable and will affect the next match in the Champions League. Luckily, Luis Enrique tried to respond quickly and was able to maximize the match with a big win at home to Rennes.
PSG's opportunity to win Ligue 1 is still quite open and they are only two points behind their challengers in first and second place. Next week PSG will face Strasbourg at home and this match is an opportunity for them to get full points because Strasbourg is not a tough opponent for them so it will be easy for them to get full points.
