Ask anyone who will win the Ligue 1 title this season, and 9 out of 10 times, the response will be Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain have spent heavily in the transfer market this season, spending over 140 million Euros on new players. The lavish spending from the oil-money-fuelled club from Paris, thanks to their wealthy Qatari owners, has resulted in the arrival
of several world class players in Paris this summer.
Ezequiel Lavezzi was the first one to join the Paris revolution after the Ile giants paid 30 million Euros to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 for his signature. Soon after the Argentinean's arrival at Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain raided AC Milan and lured away their star
duo, Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
It was being claimed that the Parisiens’ spending spree is over, but with PSG, one can never be sure. The ambitious club hijacked Manchester United’s bid for a promising youngster from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moura-c26908, and paid a huge amount, believed to be in the region
of 45 million Euros, for his signature.
With Carlo Ancelotti, a former Champions League winning manager at the helm, Paris Saint-Germain are in the driving seat to clinch their first Ligue 1 title in eighteen years.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are also in the Champions League and despite the club declaring that the European competition is not their priority this season, expect a good performance from the capital club in Europe.
As far as domestic titles are concerned, Paris Saint-Germain are strong favourites for the Ligue 1 title and in addition to that, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue are well within their grasp.
If we look at the quality of players PSG have at their disposal, it seems unimaginable to think of an outcome, where Les Parisiens are not the champions.
In form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, the Ile giants have one of the best and most feared strikers in the world. The 30-year-old has started his PSG career well and has been tipped to break all goal scoring records in France in his debut season.
With players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 operating in the midfield, the Swede will expect a lot of service from the centre of the park.
PSG goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salvatore-Sirigu-c32282, is arguably the best goalkeeper in the top division of the French football, and his shot stopping abilities will be vital in the Parisiens’ quest for titles.
Paris Saint-Germain’s defence has come under some criticism in recent times, but the arrival of Brazil captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, has strengthen the back four and his experience will be very important for the capital club, especially in Europe.
Things will only get better from here for the capital club and failure is certainly not an option for Carlo Ancelotti and his players this season.
The Ile giants narrowly missed out on the Ligue 1 crown last season after Montpellier pipped them to title. However, any such repetition would be totally unacceptable this time around and after spending beyond imagination, Paris Saint-Germain are expected
to win titles this season.
On paper, no team in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 can match PSG. But football is a funny business and anything can happen in it. However, Paris Saint-Germain are the clear favourites for the Ligue 1 title and expect Lille and Lyon to rival them in that regard.
In addition to that, Les Parisiens are tipped to perform well in the Champions League this season and expect them to reach the quarter-final stages of the competition.
