Paris Saint Germain
(PSG) suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Lens, breaking their unbeaten streak of 32 consecutive games across the season. PSG lost their two core players, Mace and Nima, and despite Kilian McBarbie's lone effort, it was difficult for them to turn the game around. After this game, Mr. McBarbee may have a deeper understanding of the importance of teamwork.

Despite a quick equalizer from PSG in the form of Igidić, Lens scored on a quick counterattack by Obinda to make it 2-1, and only two minutes after the change of sides, Godimeris added a second to seal the 3-1 win. With the win, Lens remain second in the league, but the gap to PSG is reduced to four points, making the battle for the Ligue 1 title even tighter this season.
PSG's superstar Kilian McBarbie had a disappointing game, losing 18 possessions and attempting 9 individual breaks with only 2 successes, a far cry from his World Cup performance. For now, the only thing PSG can do is to look forward to the return of Mace to help the team as soon as possible.
