League 1
No winner between Nice and PSG at the end of the 7th day. Final score 1-1, Luis Enrique’s 11 was under pressure after Monaco’s victory in Rennes (2-1) on Saturday. The Rocher players alone in the lead. Still undefeated this season, will Monaco’s improvement last? On the Parisian side, Luis Enrique’s 11 ends a complicated week, after the setback at Arsenal. OM is slipping. The Olympians fumbled their football against Angers, bottom of the class. After the defeat in Strasbourg, the expected reaction at the Vélodrome did not take place, the Phocéens joined by Reims. Luka Elsner’s Red and Whites are doing very well at the start of the season.
Premier League
Liverpool, victorious at Crystal Palace, leads the debates. With the Reds hot on the heels of Manchester City, the Sky Blues had to take the heat to get rid of Fulham. Arsenal took time to overthrow Southampton, but did not panic. The Red Devils, still down, the men of Ten Hag silent for 3 matches, came up against the Villans. The Mancuniens, fourteenth, are having their worst start to a season in 35 years. The Dutch technician is still holding on, but for how long?
The absence of Kylian Mbappé is controversial
The striker had announced his withdrawal for the two upcoming matches during the international break with the France team, but played (without shining) 48 hours later for 70 minutes at club against Villarreal. Priority to adaptation with the Merengues for a captain of the Blues who the League of Nations does not motivate?
