Ligue 1 will not be able to be dominated by other teams this season because PSG is still a strong team without Mbappe in it, but the size of PSG's strength will be truly measured when PSG competes in the Champions League this season. Because in Ligue 1 there is still no one who is able to break the power and dominance of PSG even though PSG is no longer strengthened by Mbappe and I was never surprised by PSG's two wins at the start of this League because other teams are still unable to match the strength that PSG has this season.

When it was announced that Kylian Mbappe is going to leave Paris Saint Germaine at the end of last season, a lot of people were of the opinion that the club will struggle both in the league and in Europe but I was quick to remind everyone in this thread about the depth in the Paris Saint Germaine squad and why they'll continue to dominate French football even in the absence of their former striker Mbappe. Their results in the domestic games they've played so far this season have actually authenticated my opinion of them.
The strength of the team will be greatly tested in the UEFA Champions League competition and that's were we can ascertain if Paris Saint Germaine is better without Kylian Mbappe or not. Marseille I think will do well this season but I don't expect them to match the success of the French champions in the league.

Yes, Mbappe departure from PSG will not really affect their performance in Ligue 1 even though this is an opportunity for other teams to be condition that makes it easier for them to become PSG competitors in the fight for the championship title.
But all of this will be clearly visible and affect PSG performance when they are in an important competition like the UCL, we all know how Mbappe performance is and his departure will certainly be very difficult for PSG to compete in the UCL competition.
Several PSG players who have always been Mbappe colleagues before have now also shown how great they are to continue to perform optimally in every Ligue 1 match and hopefully in the future when they play for the UCL competition they can show their performance again like when they were here, although I not sure but I want to see it.
