Ligue 1 2019-2020

Frankly, without Mbappe and Di Maria, their offense takes a big hit.
Defensively, no Bernat (?), no Kehrer (?) or Dagba (?) or Diallo (?).... If so, I can't see them do much of anything.

Nice destroyed a slovak team 6-0 today in a friendly (that slovak team beat OM a few days ago). Gouiri scored 2, including a highlightreel.

BTW, with Lyon defeated in the final, Lyon's only chance to play a european league next year is to win the CL.
Good luck with that. And congrats for picking two shitty coach in less than 3 months.

What are they saying @Evilo Lol

SALIBAAAAAA !!! He did the spagetthis (about his hair).
We're not in Saint Etienne here, we win titles here (from Laca, OL and rival player) and then Auba laughs but says to calm down (former St Etienne player).

Haha awesome, I knew Laca was talking smack about ASSE. Thanks for the translation.

Not sure what to make of the PSG line-up in the match when thinking of Atalanta. Looks like Bakker is set on the LB, but it's been a revolving door at RB, Kurzawa played there in this match. If Marquinhos plays in midfield with Verratti and Guaye, there might be lack of offensive creativity, and with Mbappe & Di Maria out, not sure PSG can outscore Atalanta, but rather hope to defensively grind out a win.

Pretty sure that Atalanta will be missing Josip Ilicic as well who has been their best CL player which is going to be a big miss for them against PSG. Watching their last few games I don't see why PSG should lose unless they play very poorly.

Aouchiche is some kind of talent.
How often do we see a guy who can play 6, 8, wing, 10 or even second striker?
His skillset helps him do everything in every role.
He isn't the fastest, isn't the strongest, isn't the most technical, but he just has that uber IQ. And he's quite fast, quite strong and very very good technically.
He just makes things look easy.

The 20/21 season starts next weekend.

PSG obviously won't play, but will Lyon get any sort of break or do they play straight away their scheduled match on Sunday?

Marseille's match has been postponed because of multiple Covid -infections.

 

[Evilo]

And that game shouldn't be postponed because OM has 3 cases.
Otherwise we'll never finish the season.

 

[gary69]

So pretty much same then with this season not finishing either

Lyon will play their first league match in a week on 28.8.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Anyone doing a new thread? Nantes and Bordeaux kick us off.

PSG puts out an exhibition side and loses. Why are they playing?

The famous Xavi Simons made the bench.
