Who really wants the leadership chair? The question arose Wednesday evening on the occasion of the 10e day of Ligue 1. While PSG was hanging on the Lorient pitch (1-1), Lens, OM and OL all had the opportunity to take control of the championship.
But neither the Sang et Or, beaten in Metz (0-2), nor the Marseillais, held at home by Angers (2-2), nor the Lyonnais, overthrown by Paris FC (3-3), managed to access the throne. Result: the first six teams in the ranking are held by only two points.
According to Optathis is the smallest gap at such an advanced stage of the season since the 2010-2011 financial year, when two lengths separated first from sixth after 15 matches. Is this rare density a sign that the overall level of the French elite is improving?
