PSG's Opening Result Evokes Unpleasant Memories

Paris Saint-Germain failed to secure a victory in their opening Ligue 1 match of the 2026/2027 season, settling for a 2-2 draw away to Rennes. This statistic should be a serious concern for the French giants, who have consistently kicked off their league campaigns with wins in the past five years, all of which culminated in championship titles.

The last time the Parisians failed to win their season opener was in 2020/2021, when they suffered a 0-1 defeat to Lens. That season also marked the last time the two-time European club champions relinquished their domestic throne, allowing Lille to claim the gold medals.

Interestingly, the team also began this season's domestic campaign with a 0-1 loss to Lens, this time in the French Super Cup.
