How do you ‘1-up’ winning five titles in the past 6 seasons? Stay unbeaten and win all matches. The defending French Champions are running away with the title.
(Even though they are still included amongst the favorites to win in most competitions)Paris St. Germain would be heavy favorites in all footballing competitions this year had it not been for the challenge in the UEFA Champions League.
Napoli has been the only team to deny Paris St. Germain from scoring 2+ goals in a match since the start of the 2018.19 Ligue 1 season.
