We heard it all season: “PSG is slow, it’s boring, and it hums in attack.” But… what if we had spoken a little too quickly? While Bayern Munich has just lost against Mainz (yes, Mainz), and the big European clubs are accumulating missteps, Luis Enrique’s PSG is still undefeated after 14 days of Ligue 1. Yes, undefeated, like Juventus. That’s all. These are the only clubs that can boast of dominating Europe without a single defeat in a major championship this season.
So, it’s true, Paris doesn’t always make you dream. We complained about his insipid matches and his offensive failures. But when we look at the figures, it’s hard to deny that the Parisians are (for the moment) as solid as ever. 10 wins, 4 draws, not a single setback, and a first place in Ligue 1. And for those who like to point out that they are in crisis, their “poor performance” still allows them to dominate a championship where everyone seems wanting their skin.
But invincibility, for how long?
Be careful though: Paris is far from having an easy schedule. Lyon arrives on Sunday, and even if the Gones do not have the level they had in the 2000s, these kinds of matches tend to get complicated for no reason. Then on Wednesday, it’s Monaco, which always remains unpredictable. So yes, PSG are undefeated, but will they stay that way for much longer?
Regardless, this little statistic should delight Luis Enrique and his players. Because, for once, we are not putting them in the category of “big clubs in decline”. And who knows, perhaps by continuing like this, Paris will end up making its critics lie… if not seducing them.
