Paris FC: End of December Update
Paris FC remained in second place heading into a colossal matchup with leaders PSG in January.
Paris FC close 2025 sitting second in Ligue 1, just three points behind Paris SG. With 34 points from 15 matches, a league-best 44 goals scored, and a +29 goal difference, the promoted side have evolved from surprise package to legitimate contender.
Anthony Martial leads the Golden Boot race with 13 goals in 12 matches, thriving in the false 9 role. Ethan Mbappé continues to orchestrate from midfield, topping the assist charts with 7, while Noah Adedeji-Sternberg and Ilan Kebbal add consistent creativity. Defensively, Obed Nkambadio has kept 7 clean sheets, matching the division’s elite.
All eyes now turn to January 4, when Paris FC host league leaders Paris SG in a monumental Paris derby. A win would close the gap at the top to potentially zero and send a powerful message in the title race.
January won’t ease up: trips to Toulouse and Auxerre, a Coupe de France clash away at Lyon, and a league rematch with Lyon promise a defining month.
