Entering 2024, the European League continues, and the French league enters a three-week winter break, but last season's French League 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain and French Cup champion Toulouse cannot get a rest, in the early morning of January 4, Beijing time, the 2023/24 French Super Cup will be held, and Paris Saint-Germain will impact the 12th French Super Cup championship trophy in the history of the team. The game itself is not attractive, but Mbappe's contract expires this summer, and the 2024 New Year means that Mbappe can freely discuss joining with any team, and Real Madrid has once again invited Mbappe.
Paris Saint-Germain vs. Toulouse, Enrique has a luxury squad of 1.03 billion euros, with Mbappe, Muani, Dembele, Gonzano Ramos, Asensio, Li Gangren, Vitinha, Emery, Lucas, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Achraf, Donnarumma and other stars. As for Toulouse, the whole team is worth only 84.65 million euros, and the team has Margery, Daringa, Cáceres, Diarra, Suazzo, Domingos and other fierce players. There is a huge difference in the value of the two teams. The historical record shows that in the last 10 meetings between the two teams, Paris Saint-Germain has won 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, occupying an overwhelming advantage.
Paris Saint-Germain are unbeaten in nine consecutive games in all competitions and have successfully qualified for the Champions League to advance to the round of 16, where they will face Real Sociedad in the knockout rounds, and it is not a big problem to break the curse of missing out on the quarter-finals in the previous two seasons. In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain has been unbeaten in 12 consecutive rounds, winning 10 wins and 2 draws, and is currently at the top of the standings with 40 points with 12 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, 5 points ahead of Nice, and there is not much obstacle to winning the 12th Ligue 1 title in team history.
Paris Saint-Germain scored 42 goals and conceded 14 in the first 17 league games, ranking first in Ligue 1 in terms of goals scored and second in defence, with a total of 14 players in the team scoring goals, including Mbappe who scored 21 goals and provided two assists in all competitions, making him the team's top scorer. Mbappe also leads the Ligue 1 scorer list with 18 goals. Paris Saint-Germain beat Nantes to win the French Super Cup last season.
Toulouse won the French Cup last season, but this season's form in Ligue 1 is mediocre, and they have not won 10 consecutive league games recently, and are currently in 16th place in the standings with 14 points from 2 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, deep in the relegation zone. In the first 17 rounds of the league, Toulouse only scored 15 goals and conceded 23 goals, ranking only second from the bottom in Ligue 1 in terms of goals and 12th in defense. Only eight players in the squad have scored, with Dalinga being the team's top scorer with nine goals and two assists in all competitions.
In the first leg of this season's meeting between the two teams, Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 away at Toulouse. Paris Saint-Germain has a full lineup, a star-studded squad of big-name players, and more than a notch above Toulouse in terms of strength and value, and Toulouse's squad this season is not enough to support the team's double-front battle in the Europa League and the league, so Toulouse is in danger of being demoted. In this game, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Toulouse to win the twelfth French Super Cup in team history.
Paris Saint-Germain's recent most attractive fan attention is the core Mbappe's stay, Mbappe's contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire in the summer of 2024, entering January, Mbappe has the right to talk with other teams, including Paris Saint-Germain, about free joining contracts, Real Madrid once again sent an invitation to Mbappe, Real Madrid hopes that Mbappe can make commitments and choices in mid-January, otherwise Real Madrid will give up the introduction of Mbappe, turn to Haaland, and do its best to introduce Haaland, so Mbappe will be the focus of the winter transfer market。
