After only four days of Ligue 1, the hierarchy of the 2023-2024 French Championship and therefore the opponents for the defending champion are fairly clearly emerging, an infernal PSG this Sunday evening in Lyon, which reduced its opponent to a pulp.

Now launched – Lorient and Toulouse can thank the calendar – with seven goals in two games, Paris will find on its way Monaco and Marseille, the two other undefeated teams. For the moment, the club from the principality is taking the lead, with the formation of Luis Enrique in the wheel, and OM to close this provisional podium which should last. Three teams with new coaches, all foreigners, perhaps by chance, in any case the sign of a successful adaptation and a shared adhesion.

Lyon scattered all over the Rhône

Paris will therefore have adversity, which was not exactly obvious at Groupama Stadium where it pulverized Lyon, scattered it all over the Rhône, harvested it in all directions, at the end of a week in which the owners of OL, old and new, will have seemed more dangerous and combative than their players. Faced with a stronger, Corentin Tolisso’s partners found a way to make it easier for PSG by causing a quick penalty, successful by Kylian Mbappé (4th), a prelude to an endless bloodletting.

Admittedly, Gianluigi Donnarumma hasn’t had time to think about his next vacation because Lyon retains a small attacking talent and impact, but Luis Enrique’s principles have wiped everything down. Low socks as a tribute to the football of yesteryear, Manuel Ugarte, definitely an excellent pickaxe for the moment, initiated almost every goal action, concluded by the incessant mobility of Marco Asensio, Ousmane Dembélé and of course Kylian Mbappé, who does not seem to suffer from the departure of Neymar and Leo Messi.

Mbappé, two starts, five goals

We’re joking, of course. But the ability of the world champion to acclimatize to any system and any player, as long as he has talent, remains overwhelming. He has already taken the lead in the scoring charts, with five goals, while he has only two starts. Do not look for the error, it is normal concerning him. His pursuers would have liked his installation in the loft to continue a little longer.

For the moment, this new-look PSG looks like a model at a fashion show: he’s handsome and classy, ​​snappy in recovering the ball, pushed by lightning in transitions, rather strong defensively, easy in conservation . It already has nothing to do with that of last season, of recent times, cut in two, walking, without tactical markers. Everyone will be able to put the names in front of these erratic behaviors. A hint: they are no longer at the club.

The first stage of the Parisian rocket is perfectly in orbit as a first international sequence begins. After the truce will come the burning highs that count and weigh in a season with Dortmund in the Champions League and Marseille in the league in the same week. Everyone wants to have another month to see this.
