"The champion already on the mat" headlines our newspaper at the end of this unexpected defeat at the promoted Lensois, three weeks after a Champions League final in Lisbon.

December 13. PSG-Lyon: 0-1.
The series of defeats against direct rivals for the title race begins that evening. In his analysis, our journalist Dominique Sévérac writes: “PSG has been caught up by its ills of the season, between its unworthy background of fire, the tactical wanderings of its coach, its weariness some evenings, its injuries in each match. Shake it well, it's the cocktail of defeat, the fourth of the league season in just 14 days, a worrying pace. In a week, Paris goes to Lille and the idea will progress: can the title of champion escape the club of the capital? "
