The weeks go by, but they’re not all the same for our French players. Some have experienced victory, like Marcus Thuram with  
Inter Milan  (2-0) against Pisa. In France,  
Paul Pogba  made his debut at the Stade Louis II, capped off by a fine win for Monaco against Paris Saint-Germain. Florian Thauvin is also among the French players in form; the former Marseille player scored a brace and puts Lens at the top of the league. Across the Channel, 
 Boubacar Kamara  secured three points for Aston Villa against Wolverhampton with a thunderous strike. With AC Milan, against Lazio, Mike Maignan was imperious and temporarily takes the lead in Serie A.

But not everyone emerged victorious. Despite converting a penalty,  
Jean-Philippe Mateta  and Crystal Palace lost at home to Manchester United. The same fate befell Kylian Mbappé, who also scored a penalty in Real Madrid’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Girona. Lucas Hernandez and Lucas Chevalier also suffered defeats against Monaco. Benjamin Pavard and Marseille were left with a heavy defeat, conceding a late equalizer against Toulouse, though De Zerbi’s men remain in third place.
