despite PSG, France continues to rise

The most anticipated teams in European competitions continue to disappoint, halfway through, for France. While the UEFA Index is increasingly scrutinized, Paris-Saint-Germain lost at the gong against Atletico Madrid during the fourth day of the regular phase of the Champions League. Fortunately, Stade Brestois and AS Monaco won, while LOSC resisted against Juventus Turin. Within the little sister of the Coupe aux Grandes Oreilles now, Olympique Lyonnais was showered on the wire by Hoffenheim, while leading two goals to one in stoppage time (2-2). OGC Nice, outnumbered, shared the points against Twente. Contrasting results… but which allow France to return to fifth place in the UEFA rankings for the season. In front of Spain, despite the Parisian defeat against Atletico.
