Paris Saint-Germain’s stunning 9-0 home success over Guingamp on Saturday was one of the most eye-catching results of the season to date.
Only 10 days earlier, Thomas Tuchel’s side had been dumped out of the Coupe de la Ligue by the Breton side and it was clear they wanted to exact revenge for that embarrassing loss, which prevented them from closing in on a run of 50 domestic cup matches without defeat.
Unsurprisingly, the Opta Performance Index, which tracks the performance of each player in the league on a weekly basis, is littered by PSG players at the summit, with the top three places occupied by the club’s blistering strikeforce.
