Last season Ligue 1 competition was even more competitive than this season, where Lens pressured PSG until the season ended, PSG won the trophy by one point. This season, Enrique fleet seems to be walking in the park without any significant disturbances, Nice was pressing but slowly dropped to fourth place. With the points gap increasingly forming, the competition for tickets to appear in the Champions League and Europa League next season, in my opinion, is more interesting than the hunt for trophies.
Enrique seems to have been guaranteed a trophy in his first season, an easy journey because he has a squad depth above the average for other clubs. The French Super Cup was the first to be won, the Ligue 1 trophy will follow in the next 10 matches, I think PSG will lock up the trophy before the season ends.
The Champions League is PSG real challenge, a trophy they have been chasing for a long time, but they have not been able to achieve it until now. With a 2-0 win over Sociedad in the first leg of the round of 16, the second leg looks like it will be easier for them to conquer. I'm curious about PSG luck this season, how far PSG can go while Mbappe is still with them.
Initially, Luis Enrique experienced many obstacles in implementing the system he wanted to implement at PSG. However, gradually, the team coached by Enrique began to be able to adapt well to the wishes of this Spanish coach. although this team doesn't look solid yet, especially in the Champions League. however, in Ligue 1, PSG gradually improved without losing in 19 matches. even though it's not as smooth as winning 19 of his matches, Enrique has shown good progress in bringing his squad to at least Lique 1. this season, PSG is almost completely far from the bad issues and rumors surrounding the star players they have. the departure of Messi, Neymar and several other players made the conditions in the Paris Saint-Germain dressing room maintained and conducive. even though Mbappe is actually always rumored to be leaving for Real Madrid at the end of this season, that is not the topic of discussion in this post.
IMO, this season there are factors that make PSG not have a dominant competitor like last season. one of the factors, the performance of Marseille, Lens, Lille, Monaco is not that good. in fact, it tends to decrease. Currently, Paris Saint-Germain is 11 points ahead of the team below its ranking, namely Berst. moreover, the teams ranked third and fourth. now, there are only 11 matches left, this competition will soon be over. PSG is very close to retaining the title this season. as for Nice, as I said. Gradually, this team will experience a decline in its ranking. as a result, Nice's position was threatened by the team below them, namely Lillie. Likewise with Brest, it is only a matter of time for AS Monaco to take over the position occupied by Brest. Talking about PSG in the Champions League, at least their chances of advancing to the next phase are wide open. I mean, PSG's chance to overthrow Real Sociedad in the second leg is wide open. however, don't get too hopeful if PSG can become champions in the Champions League. for me, it's not time for PSG with the current strength of the team.
