- The win eases recent pressure on OM after a poor run that included a midweek Champions League defeat, with the league lead dependent on PSG’s result on Sunday.
- Paris FC were beaten 1-0 at home by Rennes on a late Breel Embolo counter despite controlling long stretches, hitting the woodwork twice and forcing multiple saves from Brice Samba.
- After creating 16 shots with only five on target, Paris FC are reportedly set to pursue a proven No. 9 in the January window to address their finishing problems.
- France’s rugby side lost 32-17 to South Africa at the Stade de France even after a Springbok red card around halftime, with players and staff pointing to discipline and set-piece reliability as key shortcomings.
