It is still a bit early to say that the suspense has been revived in the race for the title of champion of France.
But walking at this senator's pace, completely out of step with the reality that surrounds it, Paris will soon see what is still fiction become a frightening reality.
Nine days to go, there is, on paper, certainly no danger in delay for Parisians who have a fifteen-point lead at the top of the standings before the clash of dolphins between OM and Nice this Sunday evening. .
But in fact, it is urgent to sound the alarm so as not to see the Parisian locomotive derail definitively on the way to its tenth title.
This Sunday, PSG not only let slip their fourth straight away game, in all competitions, on the lawn of AS Monaco (3-0).
After the road trips in Nantes (3-1) and Nice (1-0) in the league, then the rout in Madrid in the Champions League (3-1), the Ligue 1 leader this time lost everything to Louis- II: the thread, the face and above all the desire that a ship of its size must ride on all the lawns of France and Navarre.

It will indeed have been necessary to wait almost 25 minutes before seeing Paris, through Neymar, strike for the first time on goal.
Not much more, apart from spite, to get your teeth into.
The well-wrapped free kick from the Brazilian may have forced Nübel to relax, only a poorly controlled ball by the Monegasque goalkeeper in front of his line really sent shivers through the stands of Louis-II.
The momentary awakening of Verratti, and a very slight burst of pride, on returning from the locker room, will not have been enough to hide the obvious.
When Mbappé is not in his match, Paris is not only tasteless and common.
He is feverish and in great danger.
Despite the change of system in the second half (3-5-2), Paris remained below everything and its top scorer ineffective as rarely.
Sign of a bad day for the one who had until then taken the habit of standing out from the crowd by taking his team out of the water, Ben Yedder stole from him, thanks to his double of the day, the first place in the scorer rankings (17).
