News

Paris Saint-Germain rank only 37th among Europe's top-five-league teams through five games, but head into the October fixtures with three straight wins.
Paris Saint-Germain have made another sluggish start to a season, ranking only 37th among teams in Europe's top five leagues by WhoScored's average ratings through their first five matches, according to Yahoo Sports.
The slow opening is familiar territory for the Parisians, the report notes, but results have begun to improve. After some uneven performances, PSG have put together three consecutive wins, two in the league and one in the Champions League.
Not every key figure is at full stride yet. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has not hit his best form, while Desire Doue appears to be only now completing his preseason buildup.
Substitute Ferran Torres kept up his strong scoring record with a goal against Marseille after coming on in the second half.
Attention now turns to October, when PSG face Manchester City and Barcelona in the Champions League, along with a run of five league fixtures the report suggests should bring more than the eight points they have collected so far.
