Unbeaten Monaco top Ligue 1 on 13 points with champions PSG sixth
Post
📰 After five rounds of Ligue 1, Monaco lead the way while champions PSG have made a sluggish start in sixth.
📌 Key points
📈 Monaco are unbeaten at the top with four wins, a draw and 13 points.
🔁 Lyon and Paris FC follow on 11 points, both unbeaten.
🧢 PSG sit sixth on 8 points (W2 D2 L1), five behind the leaders.
📉 Marseille are 17th, in the relegation zone, with just 3 points.
⚔️ Monaco won 2-1 at PSG on 4 September.
📝 What happened
⚔️ The key result came at the Parc des Princes on 4 September. Marquinhos put PSG ahead on 31 minutes, but goals from Nazinho (58) and Stanis Idumbo (72) gave Monaco a 2-1 win – their third straight league victory over PSG, a first in the Qatari ownership era.
📈 Filipe Luís's Monaco have conceded only three goals in five games. Paris Brunner, with four goals, was named the league's player of the month for September, with Aleksandr Golovin and Eric Dier also contributing.
🧢 PSG were winless after three league games. Two wins since have lifted them only to sixth on 8 points. Luis Enrique had extended his contract to 2030 before the season.
📉 Marseille are in worse shape. Under Bruno Génésio, appointed in July, they have one win and four defeats and sit 17th on 3 points.
📊 By the numbers
• Monaco: W4 D1, 13 points, 3 conceded
• Lyon and Paris FC: 11 points, unbeaten
• PSG: 8 points (6th), five off the top
• Marseille: 3 points (17th)
🔭 Why it matters
PSG have dominated Ligue 1 in recent seasons; Monaco's last title came in 2016-17. It is only five games in, but with the top of the table so tight, the title race looks more open than it has for years. Monaco face Toulouse on 10 October, Lorient on 18 October and Lille on 25 October.
