Ligue 1 upset! Paris 39 games away unbeaten

PuBoard Net reported on May 4 that the 35th round of the Ligue 1 League was unpopular. Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-2 away to Strasbourg, swallowing the first away defeat of the league this season, and the record of unbeaten away from Ligue 1, which lasted for 39 games, ended.

Before this game, Paris Saint-Germain showed strong away dominance with stars such as Neymar and Mbappe. Since losing to Monaco 1-3 on February 11, 2023, they have been away from Ligue 1 for 14 months, winning 25 wins and 14 draws, and have become the "unbeaten myth" of the away game in the league with an amazing record of 39 games. During this period, whether facing traditional powerhouses such as Lille and Lyon, or new forces such as Lens and Rennes, Paris can always escape away from home, and even stage a good reversal show many times.

However, facing Strasbourg, which is ranked in the middle, Paris encountered a "Waterloo". During the game, Strasbourg showed tenacious fighting spirit and used efficient counterattacks and active pressing to disrupt the rhythm of Paris. Just 12 minutes into the opening game, Arok scored the first goal for Strasbourg; although Mbappe equalized the score with a penalty, Arok scored twice in the second half. Although Paris made every effort to counterattack, it never failed to rewrite the score.

This loss is not only Paris' first away defeat in the league this season, but also exposes the team's hidden dangers on the defensive end. Under the pressure of multi-line combat, problems such as insufficient rotation of Paris' lineup and loopholes in the back line have gradually emerged. Strasbourg broke Paris's "away hegemony" with a hearty victory and added more drama to the Ligue 1. This upset made fans sigh that there is no eternal victory general on the Green Field, and any team may become the endorsement of the legendary record.
