PSG win Paris derby, rare balance confirmed in Ligue 1 | OneFootball

In a match that concluded the 17th round of the 2025/26 Ligue 1, PSG won the regional derby against Paris FC 2-1 this Sunday (4), at Parc des Princes.

Doué opened the scoring for PSG in the first half, Geubbels equalized with a penalty 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 brought back a rare competition at the top of the Ligue 1 table, with two teams having 39 points or more, after 17 games.

According to Opta data, this has hardly happened in the 21st century.

What do the numbers say?

Only three seasons had 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 for the top, and each round becoming decisive.
