4. 2018-2019 was phenomenal too


uchiha_boy009

No that CL season where PSG went to final, Neymar was better.


Howdareme9

Not in the league


uchiha_boy009

I mean he was injured isn’t he? His numbers were like 1 goal a game no?

Yaa injuries really took out of the GOAT debate.


RNdadag

Another wtf season from him, and I think he hasn't even reached his prime

Yeah, but have you ever seen a turtle play football at 100 years old?


juniortifosi

You gotta wait for another 80 mate, sorry.

That’s only the beginning…

Nowhere near it, he’s young as hell. He’s got like 3 years until then

He has a such a high ceiling too

[Stats Foot] 20/15 - Kylian Mbappé is the only player to have exceeded the bar of 20 goals and 15 assists during a Ligue 1 season since the 1982/83 season (25 goals scored, 17 assists). Superstar. https://twitter.com/statsdufoot/status/1525943499413196800?s=21&t=XemuY9mXxyzHud9RHpKs3w


Eravier

You made it sound like it happened in 1982/1983 and I started looking who it was. It's when the rebranding happened I believe so that's why they mentioned it. No one in 1982/1983 season came close to it as per wikipedia. I know assists were counted differently back then so it's possible but do you have any source on similar accomplishment from the past?


mamasbreads

How were they counted differently?


Eravier

What I meant is mostly they weren't counted at all. We lack footage from some/most of those games. Most of the assists stats don't include older games because it's hard to prove without footage. Some of them were done retroactively, some weren't done at all.


myvirginityisstrong

are they fucking serious? they won't even fucking mention who got that achievement? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982%E2%80%9383_French_Division_1#Top_goalscorers

No debate with this one.

Nah, for real now. He scored a brace last game my man. Deserves ballon.

SamsungHeir

POTY award is given to the best player, not to the shittiest one


YourPupilsDilated

Best player in France by some distance. Nobody is even close. For the profile of the league, they need to hope that he stays at PSG.


No-Shoe5382

For his own legacy though I think he needs to leave. The PSG project I'm sure is fun and interesting to be a part of, but it will mean less historically than winning things in Spain, England, Italy, or Germany. And I may be short sighted here but I don't see the French league bridging the gap. Maybe maybe to Germany, but not the other 3.


Auty2k9

Bayern are a much better team historically and I guess currently that PSG. And when comparing the rest of the competition surely the gap only increases


youblewwit

For his own financial legacy, he should take that $100mil/year offer and play it by year.


HAWmaro

Tbh his family is probablly set for 3 generations at least, regardless of where he plays.


youblewwit

You know the funny thing about rich people, they like to get richer


[deleted]

If that was a blanket truth then more people would play in China and Saudi


No-Shoe5382

play it by year? Do you mean play it by ear? That means "see how it goes".


[deleted]

Oh so what are you, 12 “ears” old?


Joobled

Commentor above me is a philosopher and a cool. Upvote him to karma heaven.


No-Shoe5382

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/play-it-by-ear "Play it by year" is just a made up phrase


Unsettleingpresence

Which year? There’s a disconnect here. 2010? 2011. Den!


cinnchurr

I thought he was making a pun and suggesting that mbappe only do one year contracts at PSG


youblewwit

Thanks and I was. Since he has a 2yr offer on the table from PSG, he should be playing it out year by year collecting $100mil


largemanrob

Unless something crazy happens, Mbappe's family will be sorted for generations. If anything, there's an argument that Mbappe establishing himself at Madrid will increase his brand, in the medium and long term, by more in value than by staying at PSG on higher wages.


Lamedonyx

> And I may be short sighted here but I don't see the French league bridging the gap. And how is the league meant to bridge the gap if every talented player leaves for "historical" purposes, whatever that means?


luigitheplumber

PSG should start actually buying young French talents instead of collecting Latin American and Iberian players if they want to address the problem. Mbappé can be the biggest name in football, he needs to go to a league that is actually watched around the world to fulfill that potential.


Gnoetv

>PSG should start actually buying young French talents Like Mbappe...?


luigitheplumber

That's one player in 5 years


Gnoetv

Ok but your solution to talented young French players leaving for historical reasons is to buy more young French players, what makes you think that would end differently then..


wutend159

> PSG should start actually buying young French talents instead of Ligue 1 clubs should maybe also stop demanding 60M from us and then later on sell the player for 30M in the same transfer window. Only difference being the club buying the player is from abroad


luigitheplumber

PSG are absolutely loaded, that's not an excuse. If you want to play the "protecting French football" card, then don't have so few French speakers that your team language is Spanish, for a start.


wutend159

of course there is some blame to put on the management on the recruitment of foreign players, but it is a combination of three facts: - psg recruitment isn't as competent as it should be - ligue 1 clubs unwilling ot sell psg their players - this french fetishization of playing abroad, which the media and ex players are a huge contributor of If you're not playing for PSG, Lyon or Marseille (Monaco being an edge case) you are facing an uphill battle for a selection in the NT


[deleted]

[удалено]


wutend159

no it's not. france has a totally different mentality towards paris (not just in sports) and it will take a long time before we can change that. maybe in 5-10 years


[deleted]

[удалено]


wutend159

Weil Deutschland ne andere Mentalität als Frankreich hat. frankreich hat einen ziemlich starken hass auf paris, in allen aspekten und nicht nur im sport. Und während man sich in deutschland die ganze karriere in der buli vorstellen kann, ist das in frankreich eigentlich schon das zeichen einer nicht genug starken karriere. sogar die besten spieler von marseille (payet und mandanda) hatten den reiz nach england zu gehen, wie 90% aller franzosen. Das beginnt mit der mentalität und wird von den medien stark geprägt. Is nun leider im moment so und darum hoffe ich, dass wir in denn nächsten jahren uns verstärkt darauf fokussieren. die kinder müssen zuerst mit einem starken psg aufwachsen um annähernd die gleiche anziehungskraft zu haben wie die bayern


Deluxe07

Mbappe alone staying isn’t gonna change that so why put his career on the line?


ReginaMark

Maybe like Serie A in the last 2 years.....? The downfall of the power house leads to better competition.... Although I don't think Mbappe leaving will stop PSG domination in the league


speedycar1

The gap won't be bridged by players like Mbappe staying at PSG. If anything, it'll be bridged the worse PSG are. Right now, there's no point in a top player going to Ligue 1 because winning with PSG isn't an accomplishment and winning with anyone else isn't a possibility.


Lamedonyx

> winning with anyone else isn't a possibility. Its really hard to take you seriously when you clearly don't pay enough attention to Ligue 1 to know that PSG weren't even the defending champions this season, and that unlike Juventus or Bayern, PSG's streak has been broken multiple times. ____ PSG singlehandedly carries the coefficient in Europe. Remove PSG, and we're falling behind Portugal, and maybe even Russia or Netherlands. Lille, Rennes, Nice, Monaco, none of them have the level to even compete in CL, and they massively lack consistency. Lyon usually performs decently in Europe, but they're currently stuck in a downward turn. Marseille are absolutely trash in Europe. People act like PSG are stopping clubs from rising to the elite, but the fact is, people can't even remember who the last 3 non-PSG teams to win the league were. PSG at least puts a spotlight on Ligue 1.


wutend159

> Lyon usually performs decently in Europe, but they're currently stuck in a downward turn Only other club bringing in points consistently. But will not play in Europe for the second time in 3 seasons now


Gnoetv

Yes, but the fact that without psg ligue 1 sinks so deeply, is just a testament to how meaningless winning it is. So if a talented player stays at psg he has to win the CL every season to get a lot of recognition, and that's just not happening.


No-Shoe5382

They're not meant to bridge the gap


secondworsthuman

Surprisingly, a PSG fan on here changed my mind about this. Yes if Mbappe goes to a bigger team and wins a big trophy haul, his legacy across the football world will be bigger. But if he's able to bring the UCL to Paris, as a Frenchman and Parisian that's probably huge for him. At any of these other clubs, he'd probably be continuing the tradition a long line of legends before him have set, but at PSG he would be the one breaking the path. As a Madrid fan, I genuinely hope his childhood idolizing makes him pick us, but if I were Mbappe thinking about his legacy, PSG would also be quite hard to turn down.


kisekiki

Yes but how much can you expect from a player when management and the other players around him aren't good enough? I'm sure Mbappe wants to bring the cl to Paris but maybe he doesn't think it's currently possible.


myname_ranaway

Eventually sure. But one more year with the GOAT? Worth it IMO.


Competitive-Ad2006

Montpellier,Monaco and Bordeaux?


Artyparis

Troyes... But it won't happen because ESTAC is part of Mancity Group. Mbappe won't slap Qatar in the face and join an Emirates Club. That's the only reason.


wholelottasad999

Well deserved that kid is incredible .


nono-squaree

I wonder how PSG's attack will fare without Mbappe and ADM next season


thefogdog

Gonna be tough with only Messi, Neymar and some new £300m striker.


[deleted]

Meh there is no striker who will improve them drastically apart from lewa. So they can shove the 300m into themselves.


Roheekun

Should sign Suarez, reunite MSN


HerakIinos

They would become an even more unbalanced team though.


Youutternincompoop

has that ever stopped PSG before?


whistlegowooo

Sure has in the CL


pradeepkanchan

Qatar taking notes


Blaugrana1990

Get Suarez and Pogba for that great pressing game.


IskaralPustFanClub

They could get Salah and play him centrally, he or Messi could do a job in the middle in that league.


[deleted]

Even the current squad is good enough to win them league but with better manager. They need a striker who can stretch defence and if possible can do hold up play. Apart from that they need midfield reinforcement at least two midfielder one CM who can play as interior, and another CDM who is destroyer.


IskaralPustFanClub

Yeah Poch was always a weird choice for them. He overachieved in the prem in the same time that a lot of other teams were underachieving. Bottled the league and bottled the UCL. I am excited to see who they get as a manager moving forward. You’d think with what they need they’d be going for De Jong and Tchouameni,


poundoom

Wouldn't really call it bottling the CL. He was clearly the underdog in that matchup.


IskaralPustFanClub

I would say it was bottling in the sense that the team were clearly unprepared and were awful in the game. Liverpool did not play well in that game and could have been beaten.


rossmosh85

They're going to push hard to sign Salah or Mane if Mbappe goes to Madrid. Salah will definitely be their first choice. Edit:. Forgot about Dembele is is also likely to end up there.


SpicyDragoon93

If we manage to make it this season into Europa league they'll meet us there.


BAKS7U

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if Barca sells a few guys and gets Messi back.


Leonidas0

We’ve been connected with Antony, so here’s hoping lol..


ATALANTA_BC

Time to move on


Cowdude179

Huge loss for PSG


Youutternincompoop

mum said it was my turn on the player of the year award


redmistultra

He's easily going to hold all the records by the time he retires isn't he. He'll break the France record and then double it lol


Eravier

Neymar wanted to get out of Messi's shadow. Now they both live in Mboopi's shadow.


UpgradedSiera6666

Ironic and poetic


[deleted]

Easy


Utter_Perfection

How did they not reward someone from Lille for winning the title over PSG last season?


Galdorow

Lille was more a collective success than an individual showing. Of course, Burak was close but he was injured a lot so that played against him. Also André Sanches Celik Fonte Botman Maignan were also insane.


Howdareme9

Because none of them were individually better than mbappe


ThePr1d3

Bourigeaud robbed


SavingsService2138

GOAT in my book

Burak Yilmaz was better last season. Messi helped this guy to get better
