Ligue 1 will not lose its popularity but PSG will lose its dominance. I actually think that without Mbappe, other teams will have the opportunity to eliminate PSG's dominance. Yes, PSG is still the #1 favorite for now, but at least they won't be as dominant as they were when they were with Mbappe. We might be able to see where PSG has to fight to win the league championship, unlike this season where PSG really dominated Ligue 1 with a goal difference of +48 goals and collected 76 points, 9 points ahead of Monaco in second place.

Seriously?
Even without Mbappe, I am sure that PSG will still dominate the French League. So far, there has not been a French League club that is that strong, we can see from the statistical data. PSG has a lot of money too. Maybe they won't be as strong as before without Mbappe. But that doesn't mean they have become that weak. PSG still has many talented players and they will also purchase other talented players to improve or maintain PSG's performance. And they have the money for it. So, it doesn't mean that PSG is very weak and can even be eliminated easily. I thought, it wouldn't be like that.

I don't underestimate other clubs in the French League, yes, not at all. However, I still think that PSG will still be strong compared to other clubs in the French league. While now, PSG is making and setting their strategy to strengthen the club even without Mbappe. We know that they also target some big players in all lineups, not only for the attacking lines. So, this will keep the strength of this top club French League.

If we look at the financial strength that PSG has, it looks like they will not lose their dominance in Ligue 1, they will try to recruit new players as Mbappe replacement. Maybe for the first half of next season, PSG will appear unstable because they need adaptation to eliminate their dependence on Mbappe, but overall PSG still deserves to be favorite as a strong candidate to win next season. It's true, PSG squad depth is still quite good when compared to its competitors in Ligue 1, and Mbappe departure could also provide an opportunity for other players to shine more.

PSG priority scale is to win the Champions League, so they will try their best to continue to dominate Ligue 1. Enrique will get full support from club officials, to revise the depth of the squad and build a new scheme without Mbappe. However, PSG dominance will not last forever, every team will experience ups and downs in performance, regardless of their financial strength and squad depth. Who knows, there might be a surprise team like Leverkusen in Ligeu 1, this is also not impossible. But for next season, it looks like PSG will bring the trophy home again.
