Stade Brestois and AS Monaco's strong performances highlight a shift in French football dominance within the Champions League, contrasting sharply with PSG's struggles.
Liverpool's perfect record underscores their current form, making them a formidable opponent for any team in the competition.
If PSG does not improve their form in the upcoming matches, they risk elimination from the Champions League, which would mark a significant failure for the club.
Brest and Monaco are likely to continue their strong performances, potentially securing spots in the knockout stages if they maintain their current momentum.
The UEFA Champions League standings after the fourth matchday have revealed surprising performances from French clubs, particularly Stade Brestois and AS Monaco. Both teams have amassed ten points, ranking third and fourth respectively, while Paris Saint-Germain struggles significantly, sitting in 25th place with only four points. Brest achieved a notable victory against Sparta Prague (1-2), marking their third win in four matches, while Monaco secured a late win against Bologna (0-1). Liverpool leads the standings with twelve points, having won all their matches, followed by Sporting Portugal with ten points as well.
Lille OSC is also in contention, currently holding seventh place with seven points after a draw against Juventus (1-1). The team has performed admirably against top European clubs, notably defeating Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid earlier in the tournament. In stark contrast, PSG's recent defeat to Atlético Madrid (1-2) raises concerns about their chances of advancing to the knockout stages of the competition, as they are currently in a precarious position and face Bayern Munich in their next match.
