Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Lens both secured important victories over their rivals this weekend, ensuring that they remain firmly at the top of the Ligue 1 standings.
For PSG, it was a hard-fought victory against Nice, with a late equalizer from Neymar sealing the deal for the visitors. The Brazilian forward has been in great form recently, scoring six goals in his last three games, and he will be looking to continue his impressive form as PSG look to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Lens also secured a crucial win against Montpellier, thanks to a goal from Yannick Bolasie. The winger's powerful strike in the second half proved to be the difference between the two sides, as Lens secured all three points and moved up to fifth place in the league table.
Both teams have had tough runs of form recently, but their performances on Saturday were a reminder of why they are considered some of the best teams in France. PSG have now won five of their last seven games, while Lens have won four of their last six.
The battle for supremacy in Ligue 1 is still wide open, with several teams still capable of causing upsets. However, PSG and Lens have shown that they can compete with anyone, and their victories on Saturday have ensured that they remain at the forefront of the race for the title.
