For Rudi Garcia and Lyon, hell ended Saturday against Metz (2-0), with a first win since August in Ligue 1 that allows the new coach to work a little more serenely. Serenity also for Lille, convincing winner of Bordeaux (3-0) and author of a week to the tunes of a click.

The Losc is on the podium before the end of the 11th day, which reaches its peak Sunday evening (21:00) with a PSG-Marseille where OM will try somehow to revive the interest of this "clasico" imbalance, in which the champion of France has not lost since 2011.

. Garcia is launched

Finally ! OL ended a run of more than two months without a win in the league, and new coach Rudi Garcia won his first win with the Rhodanians.

Against Metz, the coach continued his membership review, indicating that it was logical that "those who deserve return" and that "those who deserve less" - like Bertrand Traore, left out after the defeat of Wednesday against Benfica ? - "do not stay in the team" And entrusting the captain's armband to Memphis Depay.

The match proved him right: the Dutchman played with the Metz defense to open the scoring and then caused a penalty converted by his attacking partner Moussa Dembélé.

The former technician OM, who did not hide his concern about the classification of Gones before the weekend (17th), can finally blow, and build: it has for the first time a full week to polish his plans.

. Lille, close to the click

In a few days, the Losc "has put the church in the middle of the village," said coach Christophe Galtier. Very promising Wednesday against Valencia in the Champions League (1-1), the Nordic club repeated against Bordeaux the same intensity, "incredible three days after" the C1, according to the technician.

The key, a 3-0 win against Bordeaux, the first in four league games, and a place on the podium after eleven games.

Only problem, the muscular injury of the offensive leader Victor Osimhen, who had previously scored at every home game of the Dogues. Apparently touched adductor, the Nigerian will probably lack Losc, although his replacement Loïc Remy has proven that he was still effective, scoring a nice goal.

It was in any case too much emotion for Galtier, victim of a small malaise due to hypoglycemia at the end of the meeting ... Such a beautiful week was worth a head that turns for a few minutes.

. Strasbourg flows Nice

Racing will not stay red lantern very long. Faced with Nice (1-0), the Alsatians pushed without stopping, and offered a much better show than the beginning of the season to the spectators of the stadium of Meinau.

The goal of Adrien Thomasson (23), from a very nice collective movement, had to be hot in the hearts of Strasbourg fans, after a few complicated months, between frustrating elimination in the Europa League play-offs and a bad pass of three defeats in four championship matches.

For the Niçois, it has now four losses in five games, having won four times in six days. Faced with the multitude of injuries and suspensions, and the absence of the major offensive rookie Kasper Dolberg for this trip, Patrick Vieira has not found the key. Worse, his team was awarded a third red card in two games (Racine Coly).

But it's even worse in Dijon, last in the league after losing to Brest (2-0). The promoted Breton is him 6th, a point behind Reims, held in check by Nîmes (0-0). The same final score obtained by Angers in Montpellier.
