On this episode of PSG Talking, I’m joined by Jonathan Johnson of CBS Sports to discuss PSG’s 3-0 win over Marseille at the Orange Vélodrome where the hosts made several mistakes that ultimately led to many of their fans heading for the exits before halftime.

It's a tale as old as time. Paris Saint-Germain outplays an opponent and creates plenty of scoring chances but falls asleep for a split second and ultimately settles for less than it deserves.

On this episode of PSG Talking, I’m joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to break down the frustrating 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven at the Parc des Princes. We discuss the scoring woes and Luis Enrique's lineup decisions, and we look ahead to Sunday's important clash against Olympique de Marseille.

We begin with the result against PSV. PSG recorded 26 total shots and an xG of 2.43 yet only managed a single goal from Achraf Hakimi in the second half to rescue a point. We question the decision to play Kang-In Lee as a false nine and whether a lack of skill or concentration is to blame for the lack of goals.

One big moment in the match occurred in the second half when Marco Asensio appeared to be tackled from behind while going for a cross from Hakimi. Initially, the referee, Glenn Nyberg, awarded PSG the penalty. But, after VAR got involved, Nyberg changed his decision, and the match ended 1-1. We debate whether that was the right decision or if, once again, PSG was on the receiving end of a poor decision.

With the draw, PSG is on the edge of the UEFA Champions League table and could not qualify for the knockout stage, with fixtures against Atletico Madrid and FC Bayern Munich on the horizon. We share our concerns for PSG at the moment and whether they can turn things around in the tournament.

The show concludes with a preview of PSG's match on Sunday against Marseille. Will we see a PSG squad with a Champions League hangover, or will Luis Enrique have his team ready for what will be a hostile atmosphere?

Three Ligue 1 matches and three convincing wins for Paris Saint-Germain, who sit atop the Ligue 1 table heading into the international break.

On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to break down the 3-1 win over LOSC Lille and we look ahead to the revamped UEFA Champions League.

Up first, it's the win over Lille. We discuss what we liked from the match, including Bradley Barcola's performance. How many goals can the Frenchman score this season, and can PSG's attack continue its impressive goalscoring streak with 13 goals in three matches?

We also discuss aspects of the win that were not so great for PSG, including a defense that struggled at times against Lille. We also question some of Luis Enrique's early substitutions that seemed to play into Lille's strategy.

After talking about Ligue 1, we switch gears to the Champions League, where PSG will host Girona FC, PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester City at the Parc des Princes and travel to play Arsenal FC, FC Bayern Munich, Salzburg FC, and Stuttgart. It's statistically the most difficult draw and PSG will need to remain healthy to secure a place in the knockout round. We name the fixtures we're most looking forward to and predict how many points PSG will likely secure.
