At this moment, I don't think it's debatable again that Paris Saint Germaine are going to retain the French league title at the end of the season. Marseille started the league campaign on a very good note which made many of us to start considering them as a strong contender for the league title this season but unfortunately for them, they couldn't stay consistent enough to give PSG a good run for their money. Their defeat at Auxerre over the weekend came as a surprise to me because but I think it was Derek Cornelius' red card that aided the home team to win that game. At the moment, I think the best Marseille can do is to fight to maintain their current position in the league table so they'll be guaranteed UEFA Champions League football next season.
It is impossible for any team to meet up to them now because the point gap is more than 10 points and no team is in a better form than them at the moment. They have been on a winning streak for a long time and it is as if no team can challenge them in the league, no team is consistent enough to keep up to them with the form they are in this season. We all thought Marseille could challenge them with the way they started the season but they couldn’t keep up. One thing I don’t like with this Ligue 1 is the fact that no other team can maintain consistency from the start till the end and it’s almost as if it is only PSG that can win the title.
PSG are on a different level this season. Everything seems to be working really well for Luis Enrique and the only time they have slipped up was in the Champions League group stage but somehow luck seem to be on their side too and they have cruised past Brest to qualify to the knockout round of the Champions League. They are currently 13 points away from second place Marseille in the league, played twenty three games already without a loss so their is a huge possibility that they can play the remaining thirteen without losing any if they stay focused.
They are really on a different level now and even with Mbappe Neymar and Messi they don’t look as good as they are now. I don’t know if it is the caliber of players they have now because everything looks to be going smoothly and their mode of attack this season is more effective. Seeing unserious Dembele as the highest goal scorer is really surprising considering how unserious he was back in Barcelona.
