While their nearest chaser lost, Olympique Lyonnais succumbing 2-1 at home to struggling Lille and Monaco falling 1-0 at Nantes after a last-gasp Lucas Lima thunderbolt, PSG marched on without ever hitting top gear.41 - @PSG_English have won 41 points after 15 Ligue 1 games this season, joint-highest tally at this stage with...Paris in 1985/86 (1 win = 3 points) &...Paris in 2015/16. Tradition.
