What if the dunce cap returns to Paris Saint-Germain this season in the Champions League? After three days of this new group stage, the capital club is still the last French club in the standings. With four points, Luis Enrique’s men are only in 19th place, synonymous with the play-offs. A bad operation for the Parisians, who are aiming for direct qualification to the round of 16 but are gradually moving away from it.
Monaco and Brest can take it into consideration. Thanks to the great victory against Red Star Belgrade this Tuesday (5-1), the Monegasques are fourth in this provisional ranking. Ahead of them are only Aston Villa and Liverpool, authors of an impeccable record, as well as Manchester City, who benefit from a better goal difference. With the same number of points but fewer goals scored, Stade Brestois is fifth.
The Champions League standings after 3 out of 8 days. In bold, the French clubs.
Author of their second feat in two games against the two big teams of Real Madrid, Lille are also back in the running for qualification. Despite the initial defeat at Sporting Lisbon, the Northern team is now 15th, together with Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona and Juventus. Exactly that.
The next Champions League matchday is scheduled for 5 and 6 November. Monaco and Brest will compete in two convenient away matches, in Bologna and Sparta Prague respectively. The perfect opportunity to further confirm your place in the famous and much desired Top 8. Paris Saint-Germain will host Atlético Madrid, while Lille will host Juventus for the third big game in a row.
