Doué opened the scoring for PSG in the first half, Geubbels equalized from the penalty spot at the start of the second half, but Dembélé secured the victory for the "wealthy neighbor" – the clubs' stadiums are separated by just one avenue.

This was the first Paris derby in Ligue 1 since 1978/79.
And PSG's victory has brought a rare battle back to the top of the Ligue 1 table, with two teams having 39 points or more after 17 games.
According to data from Opta, this has hardly happened in the 21st century.

Only three seasons have seen this scenario:
2016/17: Nice (40) and Monaco (39) | champion: Monaco (95 points)
2022/23: PSG (44) and Lens (40) | champion: PSG (85 points)
2025/26: Lens (40) and PSG (39) ⌛
What does this mean?
It shows balance, pressure at the top, and every round turning into a decisive one.
