PSG was one of the all-time favorites to win the Ligue 1 title but this season I don't want to say anything beforehand because the Ligue 1 title could go beyond PSG this season. If they return to the performance that PSG performed in the beginning, it will be challenging for them to be number one to five in the points table. Closing the gap to 2 points with Monaco is not a difficult task for PSG but whether they can maintain their consistency like this is a big challenge for PSG now. PSG already have no major achievements so if they lose the Ligue 1 title this season they will be heavily criticized as a club. Of course they will have to try to retain the Ligue 1 title this season.
In about four weeks from now Monaco will be playing against PSG and until then we will first see whether both teams are able to win their games and not drop any points, and besides that we may also see that PSG can extend a potential lead in the table with the game against their competitor Monaco. While I think that PSG has always some reserves in the tank and can go harder if they have to, I don't know if Monaco can do that for a whole season and also increase intensity and improve their game when PSG takes the issue seriously. It will be about Monaco to keep winning not only a few games in a row, but to win and win and win. Lens had 84 points last season and was not the champion, can Monaco go for 85 points?
We still don't know that but at least I'm sure Monaco will continue to play well until the end of the season and the transfer window will open and at that time there will also be changes in strength in the teams that are updating their squad. Especially PSG who also want to improve their squad, I'm sure they will provide many surprises in the transfer market next winter.
PSG still has the possibility to dominate in Ligue 1. but Monaco also has a chance if PSG doesn't make immediate improvements this season. and it was Monaco's chance to prevent PSG's dominance.
I think that the transfer window in winter should really not be considered the time when teams are able to make fundamental changes to their squad and bring it to the next level due to transfers. It's always the same during winter. Usually only those players are available that do not perform very well in their own clubs or did not get a lot of practice during the first half of the season. It can work, but often it is a lucky shot when a winter transfer comes to fruition and really takes the squad to the next level. That's not happening very often. If Monaco can remain as strong as they have been over the last few weeks, it still won't be easy for PSG. I hope it will be a tough competition because it also makes watching Ligue 1 more worthwhile.
