The weekend halt: Marseille
Unrecognizable from start to finish, Marseille had to bow to Nantes at the Vélodrome stadium on Saturday (1-3). OM conceded 3 goals for the first time this season at home in the league. And OM experienced its first setback in our elite since October 27, 2019 (4-0 against PSG). Or the end of an invincibility of 14 games (11 wins, 3 draws). Offensively, Marseille mainly fished by its inability to obtain dangerous situations from inside the opposing area. Because, in this match, only 5 of his 16 shots were made in this way.

The bicentenary of the weekend: Edinson Cavani
Holder of the Parc des Princes this Sunday for the reception of Bordeaux (4-3), Edinson Cavani did not miss his appointment. The Uruguayan managed to score the first goal of the Parisians in this match. This allowed him to celebrate the 200th goal of his career at PSG. The day of its 298th match in all competitions. A meeting that also saw him deliver a decisive pass for Kylian Mbappé. Even if it will remain a little more anecdotal.

The neophyte of the weekend: Bruno Guimaraes
For his very first appearance in the Lyon jersey, Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes played the entire match in Metz (0-2). This allowed him to touch 65 balls but to have a moderate influence on the game of his team. He didn't shoot and only gave one last pass before a hit, with a successful pass rate of 87%. However, his real capital gains are at the level of duels won (69%) and balls recovered (8, the best total of the match).
The relaxation of the weekend: Nice
Faced with Brest this Friday, Nice thought it was the hardest to take the 3 points of victory. Patrick Vieira's players managed to lead by two goals ahead thanks to Ounas (23rd) and Dolberg (33rd). But they were joined to the score and finally conceded the draw (2-2). It is the first time that the OGCN has not won despite a two-goal advantage since October 1, 2017, against Marseille (2-4). Since the start of this season, Nice has already lost 16 points after leading the scoring in L1. And already 9 if we only take into account the matches contested in 2020.
The double of the weekend: Loïc Rémy
Goalscorer twice, Loïc Rémy fully participated in Lille's victory over Toulouse (3-0). A performance not so frequent for the 33-year-old northern attacker. Because this is his first double in the league since his arrival at LOSC in the summer of 2018. And his first double in L1 since January 15, 2012 (with Marseille against ... Lille). This season, the former French international has 6 achievements, all registered at home.

The offensive nothingness of the weekend: Toulouse
This Saturday in Lille (3-0), Toulouse suffered its 19th defeat in 26 days of L1 this season. We have long underlined the great defensive shortcomings of the team in this championship. They were also confirmed by this river score. But we also note the offensive indigence of this formation. With only 7 shots, of which only 1 was on target, it was difficult to cope. Especially since this is the club's 6th consecutive meeting without scoring in the elite. Which hadn't happened to the club in 30 years.
The Lucky-Luke of the weekend: Nolan Roux
Holder with Nîmes in Rennes this Sunday, Nolan Roux did not hang around to highlight. After a good move with the support of Renaud Ripart, he quickly opened the scoring. The ball crossed the line after only 34 seconds. It was the fastest goal of the season in L1. He was ahead of Bordeaux's Nicolas De Préville against Toulouse on October 5, 2019 (56 seconds).
