PSG beat Lyon 1-0 away from home. Obviously it was not an easy game for both sides. Of course PSG was the heavy favorite but they struggled to score against Lyon. As such, we can say that we watched an unpleasant match. They won with a goal scored by Messi in 5 minutes.
Lens team is doing very well. They are one of the 3 undefeated teams in 8 weeks. Their next match is against lyon. A decisive and important match for them.
The win against Lyon was very challenging for PSG. Lyon may have been in a bit of poor form recently. But they are very strong at home. Lyon has won all of their first 4 home matches. Lyon collected 13 points in 7 matches, 12 of which they collected in home matches. And so winning this match was not easy for PSG.
PSG may have scored only one goal in this match. But PSG's match strategy was good enough. The conflict between Neymar and Mbappe was not seen in this match. Galtier seems to be able to stabilize the team.
I see Lyon need to change the form of the game if they are to fight for a place in the European league this season. Lyon is currently ranked 6th in the standings with 13 points, 5 points behind Lens who occupy the Europa League zone.
With this win Paris Saint-Germain return to the top of Ligue 1 with 22 points overtaking Marseille who drew with Rennes, although only two points clear, their goal difference of +22 is double that of Marseille, an ominous sign at this early stage. for Marseille.
Only 8 rounds have been completed. There is still a long journey ahead. The team that is able to maintain the consistency of performance will be at the top of the points table. Lyon, however, is currently sixth in the table. But staying between 3rd-5th position in the points table is not too difficult for them if they can bring consistency in performance.
Marseille drew in the last match, and now they are 2 points behind PSG. Marseille is playing very well this season. But I don't think they will compete for the title with PSG. I think we will see PSG dominate Ligue 1 this season as well.
