PSG and Marseille on the brink

Paris Saint‑Germain, currently in sixth place with eight points, started the season with a “diesel start”, but Luis Enrique provocatively declared: “If you want to bet on who will be French champion at the end of the year you can do it… I’m saying nothing.”

Bruno Genesio's Marseille got off to a disastrous start: with three points, it sits in the second‑to‑last place, while the management, according to the sporting director, has reiterated confidence in the former Lille coach despite serious financial problems.

The top scorer list shows four goals for Gouiri (Marseille), Doumbia (Brest), Ferran Torres (PSG) and Sinayoko (Paris FC), while Brunner nets three goals for Monaco.
