    Do People Understand How Good Barcola Is?

    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. As always, thank you for listening.

    LFP Leaves U.S. and International Ligue 1 Fans in the Dark

    This is supposed to be a time of excitement for Paris Saint-Germain supporters. The club has announced the signing of João Neves, and after a month of waiting, Désiré Doué appears to be headed to the French capital as well. However, for many fans around the world, including those in the United States, worry is setting in as there is currently no broadcast deal in place to air PSG and Ligue 1 matches this season. On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by long-time contributor Marc Damon and newcomer Mike McNally to discuss just how one of Europe's top leagues has left international fans in the dark with just a few days before the start of the 2024-25 season. We start with a discussion of the current situation regarding the domestic and international broadcast rights for Ligue 1. We talk about who the decision makers are, what organizations are involved, and how French football is drifting behind the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, and Serie A. The absence of a legitimate broadcaster, especially in the United States, underscores the failure of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to promote Ligue 1 in the country. We discuss the impact of not marketing Ligue 1 in the U.S. and how clubs like A.F.C. Bournemouth and Wrexham A.F.C. have traveled to the U.S. to build a fanbase while Ligue 1 clubs have not. We agree that beIN Sports is most likely going to be the last-minute suitor for Ligue 1 rights in the U.S., but the LFP seems to be holding out for something better. Whether better means more money or more viewers remains to be seen, but DAZN, HBO Max, and Apple TV could be potential options if beIN Sports does not get the rights. We conclude the show by discussing Ligue 1 as a content vessel and how it should be easy to sell to distributors worldwide. Ultimately, passionate fans in the U.S. and elsewhere will suffer until the LFP figures out how to get the product on as many televisions, computers, tablets, and mobile devices as possible. The league is falling behind and needs to make drastic moves to first cater to the fans who care about the league the most and then build upon that fanbase to secure the health of the league overall.

    Neves Arrives, Simons Departs, and Defense Becomes a Priority

    Paris Saint-Germain finally announced a long-awaited signing this week, but with the Ligue 1 season just a week away, there's still business to be done in the final month of the summer transfer window. On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to discuss João Neves's arrival, Xavi Simons's departure, a Bundesliga defender rumor, and whether there will be any August surprises. First, we react to PSG finally announcing Neves. The deal dragged out for weeks, and in the end, PSG will pay Benfica a total package of €70 million, plus Renato Sanches. We discuss how he will fit in the squad and how he will improve PSG's midfield. Next, we talk about the potential arrival of Willian Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt. All summer, PSG has tried to strengthen its defense to no avail. From all reports, Pacho has agreed to terms with PSG and could be announced in the coming days. We discuss his rise through the ranks and whether he'll be an immediate starter. In terms of outgoing players, we finally got an answer to summer's biggest question, "Where will Xavi Simons play next season." After a series of cryptic posts on social media, Simons returned to RB Leipzig for another season on loan with no obligation to buy. We discuss why the Netherlands international refused to return to PSG and whether it's a risk to loan him again for another season. Finally, we look ahead to potential transfers and departures in August, including whether PSG will make a big move for a superstar player. As always, thank you for listening.
