All the teams in the French league other than PSG are strengthening their teams just to perform well against teams other than PSG. There is no doubt that PSG can perform badly this season. PSG will be at the top of the points table with a big difference like in the past seasons, but there may be a tough competition between the teams from the second to the last position of the points table and the position of those teams may change. I always consider PSG to be the best team in the French league but they showed excellent performance last season so now their strength has increased so it is a dream for any team in the local league to beat this team. If it is the case that PSG ends the season undefeated, then I will not be surprised at all.
The difference in quality is so stark that it's no surprise that it's happening.
The French League teams are solely focused on the performance of their closest rivals, and I'm sure they won't put PSG in the same position as their rivals. That's realistic, and those teams only want second or third place to qualify for the Champions League. Meanwhile, PSG remains under no pressure to defend their title, allowing them to focus on the Champions League again, as they did last season.
It is a big advantage for PSG that they do not have to worry about winning the local league title, they can focus all their tension and focus on their Champions League matches.

Last season, PSG won the Champions League title and a big role behind this title win was the players' extra planning for a different tournament. If PSG goes on the field without a plan with the team that PSG currently has in the local league, then they will definitely leave the field with a victory. Maybe many people will say that if I am so confident in PSG, then why could PSG not win the first match of the French League by a large margin? When I am asked such a question, I always say that even though PSG did not score many goals in that match, they created several scoring opportunities.
Maybe that is why the performance was a bit inconsistent in the first match of the league, but in the next match we will see a big change in performance from PSG.
