Ligue 1, PSG: A recovery without shaking?

Of the last 11 reigning French champions, none lost on the first day of Ligue 1, which bodes well for Paris before their trip to Clermont.

This Saturday, the Paris Saint Germain officially puts his title back into play after recovering his due, stolen by Lille the time of a season. For the first meeting of this 2022-2023 season, the tenfold champions of France will travel to the lawn of Clermontpromoted last season and who had managed to stay narrowly in 17th place.

And Paris has enough to leave confident since for 11 years, the 1st day of the championship smiles rather on the champions of France in title. You have to go back to 2010 to see the defending champion – theOlympic Marseille – fall in front of Caenjust promoted.

5 consecutive victories for Paris

A positive balance sheet but it will however be necessary to be wary since 5 of the last 11 champions tripped over the carpet and could only obtain a draw, often against affordable teams. This was the case for the capital club in 2013 (1-1 against Montpellier) and in 2014 (2-2 against Reims). But on their last 5 attempts, the Parisians have assumed their status and imposed themselves every time without taking a goal.

Facing the Auvergnats, Kylian Mbappe and his band will try to reproduce the good things seen during their friendly matches, and thus start their season in the best possible way, as they have done in the last 7 Ligue 1 seasons.
