PSG is struggling for form and leaking goals in France after four games without a win

Paris Saint-Germain is just above the French league's relegation zone. As absurd as that seems, the two-time defending Champions League winner has made such a poor start to its Ligue 1 campaign that it is just one point above 17th place in the 18-team league. PSG has just two points from three games and might have had even less.

Paris Saint-Germain currently sits just above the relegation zone in Ligue 1, despite being a two-time Champions League winner. The team has struggled to start the season, with just two points from their first three games. PSG has conceded seven goals in these matches, a stark contrast to their attacking prowess in recent years.

In their last four games, none of their top attackers — Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia — have managed to find the back of the net. Veteran center-back Marquinhos and new signing Ferran Torres have managed two goals combined.

Luis Enrique, the team's coach, remains defiant, claiming his side could still secure the title. However, midfielder João Neves admits the team is not playing at its best. Monaco's new coach, Filipe Luís, also expressed concern, saying PSG is "not in its best form." The team's lack of goals has left many questioning how they managed to dominate the league for the past five seasons.

They have recently sold three key attacking players — Gonçalo Ramos, Lee Kang-In, and Bradley Barcola — which may have disrupted their balance. As they prepare to face Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League, PSG will be hoping to secure a morale-boosting win to turn their season around.
