Champions of Europe, Chumps at Home: PSG’s Winless Streak Hits Crisis Point
Paris Saint-Germain lifted the UEFA Super Cup with swagger three weeks ago. Now they can’t buy a win at home.
Luis Enrique’s champions have gone four straight matches without victory domestically, and the alarm bells in Paris are getting louder.
The Rot Starts at Home
It began with a 1-0 Trophée des Champions loss to Lens. Ligue 1 hasn’t been kinder: 2-2 draws with Rennes and Lille, then a 2-1 home defeat to Monaco on Friday.
Marquinhos had PSG ahead, but Monaco — now top with nine points from nine — snatched all three points at the Parc des Princes for the first time since March.
Two points from three league games. Twelfth in Ligue 1.
For the reigning champions, that’s a crisis.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
0 wins in Ligue 1 so far
5 goals scored, 7 conceded in 4 games
0 clean sheets in the run
The One Bright Spot
Europe. PSG beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup back in August, becoming just the second club ever to retain the trophy back-to-back.
Boardroom Business
Amid the slump, PSG announced six contract extensions, including Luis Enrique through 2030, plus Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves, Willian Pacho, Senny Mayulu, and Lucas Beraldo. The message: the club backs its coach, results or not.
What’s Next
Slovan Bratislava visit for PSG’s Champions League opener on Tuesday — a chance to stop the bleeding.
The verdict: European royalty, domestic strugglers. Until that defence tightens up, no PSG result is safe.
