The round started with second placed Lens getting back to winning ways, as they beat relegation candidate, Auxerre, 1 to 0. In-form Marseille also won their game against Lorient, making their 3rd placed seat more comfortable. We have also seen two big results, as Lille beat Troyes 5-1, while Monaco put 7 past Ajaccio and won 7-1.
On the other hand, Lyon are finding it hard to string 2 wins together, as they fall to Strasbourg at home. The same goes for PSG, who have lost another league game, this time against Rennes. Both Neymar and Messi started the game, while Mbappe came in as a sub, but it still wasn’t enough for the Parisians, as they suffer their second loss of the season.
