European Championships: Manchester City faces the storm, Marseille breathes a little.
On the agenda: Real Madrid saved by a new recruit, resilient Sky Blues facing adversity, and OM finding their way back to success.
La Liga Matchday 8: Diomandé Smiling, Vinicius in Tears
Real Madrid needed to bounce back after their defeat to Atlético. The Merengues, silent at halftime, ultimately did what was necessary but trembled against Villarreal. Yan Diomandé, a starter and scorer. An adrenaline rush for Vinicius Jr. Just when he thought he had sealed the match by scoring in the 71st minute, the Brazilian was caught pulling the hair of Villarreal's young midfielder Nathan Saliba. A red card and the collapse of the Brazilian international, who risks missing the Clasico! Is the locker room always on edge?
Premier League Matchday 6: Cityzens Weather the Storm
Manchester City brushed aside off-field clouds by winning comfortably at Anfield. Despite a lack of strikers and the absence of Szoboszlai, the Reds were hampered by the expulsion of Gravenberch. Cherki, Haaland, and Jérémy Doku found the back of the net. The Belgian winger was a true driving force for the Manchester side. Six matches, six victories for Maresca's team. A heavy defeat for the Reds, who recorded their first loss of the season. Sitting 9th in the standings, the Reds have no time to hesitate and must bounce back.
Ligue 1 Matchday 6: OM Breathes
The Phocéens secured a win against Troyes, but in a tense atmosphere. Kondogbia faced criticism from supporters, while Paixao was frustrated by his substitution. Marseille distances itself from the relegation zone. PSG triumphed over Le Mans. Although Paris dominated possession, the Rouge et Jaune challenged the champions, but the introduction of key players turned the match.
Rennes triumphed over Auxerre thanks to a brace from Boulaye Dia. The Bretons, among the league's best attacks, climb back onto the podium.
Monaco, held to a draw by Toulouse, remains at the top of the standings.
To discuss with Hugo Moissonnier: Marc Libbra, Dominique Sévérac, and Patrick Juillard. Technical/production: Laurent Salerno, coordination: Pierre Guérin.
