The Paris Saint-Germain team has been dominating the league standings in France with a commanding lead over their rivals, Lille and Monaco, after their impressive performance last season.
With a 3- point lead at the end of this year's Ligue 1 campaign, PSG have shown that they can be dangerous to challenge for the title if they continue to perform well. The team has won three of their four matches so far this season, including a 2-1 victory against Monaco last week.
Lille and Monaco have also been strong contenders for the top spot in the competition, but their performances haven't been as consistent as those of their opponents. They've lost two of their three matches so far this season, which has put them behind PSG in terms of goal difference.
However, both teams have made some positive changes in recent weeks, with Lille bringing in new signings like Yannick Raphaël and Marco Verratti, while Monaco has signed another young talent from France, the talented player Christian Benteke.
In addition to these additions, both teams have been showing signs of improvement. Lille have improved defensively, conceding just one goal per match compared to their previous season, while Monaco have had more success on the ball, managing to score five goals in their last four matches.
Both teams will be keen to avoid complacency and focus on improving their performances going into the upcoming Champions League fixtures. However, it remains to be seen how much progress they'll make in the competition, especially given the level of competition they face.
Overall, Paris Saint-Germain and Lille and Monaco have all shown that they're capable of challenging for the title in Europe, and with their performances so far this season, it's hard to imagine that they won't be able to do so again in the coming months.
