Having lost each of their last three Ligue 1 games, Stade Brestois returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Strasbourg, who have now suffered their fourth consecutive defeat. A good operation to move away from the bottom of the table before a difficult trip to Lille next weekend.

A fine debut for Jorge Sampaoli at Roazhon Park.

Having beaten Saint-Etienne (5-0), who were reduced to 10 men in the 37th minute, his Stade Rennais are back on the winning track.

A welcome victory for the Bretons, who are moving away from the red zone, having won just 3 of their last 10 games.

Corentin Tolisso is off to a superb start to the season. Leader of OL's midfield and one of the best player in Ligue 1, he scored again - and in such a way! - tonight to break the deadlock in a difficult situation. A momentum that could well reopen the doors to the French national team next March.

As incredible as it may seems, not one, not two, but three Ligue 1 clubs are currently qualified for at least the Champions League play-offs.

PSG, currently 25th, are on the brink of the abyss. There are three games left to make history.

Ngal'ayel Mukau's dream night. Starting in the Champions League for the second time in his career, the 17-year-old midfielder scored twice against Bologna - his first two goals of his career - to give LOSC their third win in five games (following wins over Real Madrid and Atletico).

It was a roller-coaster evening for AS Monaco. Leading 2-1 with 10 men against 11 after 84 minutes, Adi Hutter's men finally conceded their first Champions League defeat of the season to Benfica. Next up: a perilous trip to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

So we had to wait five matchdays for Stade Brestois to concede their 1st ever defeat in the Champions League.

A clean defeat at the hands of one of the competition's big favourites will not make us forget the Breton club's exceptional, almost unreal campaign. The road to the play-offs continues.

It may be hard to believe but, at the moment, PSG is out of the Champions League - especially as some of the matches will be held tomorrow.

With three games remaining in the league phase, Luis Enrique's men have no choice but to perform against Red Bull Salzburg, Manchester City and VfB Stuttgart.

OM legend and Vasco da Gama player Dimitri Payet has announced his return - more or less soon - to the French club.

"With Marseille, it's very clear: something has been signed! There will be a return to the club. I want to help, be useful and continue to help OM grow”, he told L’Équipe.

From Ligue 2 in 2018/19 to a clash with FC Barcelona in Champions League six years later, the story of Stade Brestois is one of the most beautiful in French football history. What a journey it has been.

According to La Provence, OM have decided to sack their technical director in charge of training, Marco Otero, who took up his post in May 2022 but with whom they have been at odds in recent months. Lassad Hasni, who recently left OGC Nice, is set to succeed him.

Having suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in February 2023, Presnel Kimpembe is in PSG's squad to face Bayern Munich in Champions League on Tuesday.

Gonçalo Ramos, who has been out with an ankle injury since August, has also been called up by Luis Enrique for the trip to the Allianz Arena.

The match between FC Nantes and Le Havre was suspended in the 90th minute after angry Nantes ultras tried to enter the pitch at La Beaujoire.

Having lost 0-2, the Canaries, a historic Ligue 1 club, are 16th and just outside the relegation zone.

While he is already one of Ligue 1's greatest talents, we shouldn't be afraid to say that he is also one of Europe's elite. A player at the opposite end of the spectrum from a football that has become robotic, but who still needs to prove himself over time. Until then, just enjoy his genius.

Already threatened with administrative demotion and subject to a wage bill restriction and recruitment ban by the DNCG (French football financial watchdog), OL could lose even more. According to L'Équipe, UEFA has sent experts to look into the French club's case and its debt of €505.1m.
