PARIS, Oct 6 — Paris St Germain remain unbeaten this season but after an electric start the French champions have slowed down with a defence that has been showing worrying weaknesses.

While 36-year-old Sergio Ramos has handled opponents well in Ligue 1, the Spanish veteran suffers on the European stage, being often outpaced and leaving too much space behind him. Marquinhos is making up for his partners’ shortcomings and consequently suffering physically as the performance of the defence is in marked contrast with that of the front three -Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

Italian Verratti has been doing a terrific job of bossing the midfield but at the risk of his fitness and he was lucky to escape serious injury after a rough tackle from Enzo Fernandez.PSG coach Christophe Galtier was fuming after the Benfica game, realising he could have lost his key player for weeks.
