In the heart of Ligue 1 football, the defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have started their campaign with a bang, taking the lead in the title race. The French giants were up against tough opposition from Marseille and Lens, but they managed to hold on for a point each.
Paris Saint-Germain opened their campaign with a hard-fought victory over Olympique Lyonnais, thanks to a brace from Lionel Messi and a late goal from Kylian Mbappé. The Argentine forward has been in top form this season, scoring four goals in two games so far. His partnership with Messi has also been superb, creating numerous chances for both of them.
However, Marseille and Lens presented PSG with some stiff competition. Marseille had a solid start to the season, winning their opening three matches. But after a disappointing draw against Nice, the team struggled to find their rhythm. Their loss against PSG was particularly disappointing, as it marked the first time that they have lost at home since the start of the season.
Lens, on the other hand, had a promising start to the season, beating Rennes and Strasbourg before falling to a defeat against Bordeaux. However, they showed signs of improvement in their last game, defeating Nantes convincingly. They will be hoping to continue their positive run and cause some upsets against PSG.
Despite the tough opponents, PSG managed to hold on for a point each against Marseille and Lens. It was a testament to their quality and experience, which allowed them to grind out results despite facing significant pressure. The French giants have set a high standard for themselves and will look to continue their impressive form throughout the season.
