For just two hours, Paris Saint-Germain shared top spot in Ligue 1 with their city rivals Paris FC. Although they were not as convincing as expected, the reigning champions got the job done. Troyes were dealt with (1-0), allowing the Parisians to head into the two-week international break in complete peace of mind, sitting alone at the summit and extending their winning streak to 11 matches.⌛️ Eleven consecutive wins for Paris Saint-Germain! ❤️💙 #PSGESTAC I @Ligue1_ENG https://t.co/HfaueoNrON— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) November 7, 2026 The decisive moment came just before half-time, when Illya Zabarnyi found the net following a cross from Senny Mayulu. PSG had been in complete control up to that point, creating several promising opportunities, and it seemed only a matter of time before the visitors' defensive wall would crumble.Troyes have beaten PSG just once this century, way back in 2001, when Les Parisiens were nowhere near as powerful as they are today. In fact, they have conceded three or four goals against PSG far more often than they have managed to scrape a draw, with one particularly painful occasion seeing them ship nine. Troyes are newcomers back in France's top flight and widely expected to struggle, most likely fighting for survival until the final round. From that perspective – and certainly when considering the historical record – this result does not look particularly bad.Troyes were also unable to take advantage of the fact that Luis Enrique was forced to make several changes to his usual line-up. Injuries ruled out Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes and Maghnes Akliouche, while Achraf Hakimi, following an agreement with the coaching staff and the club's sporting department, was given time off ahead of the international break.##EDITORS_CHOICE##From the opening whistle until the final one, the hosts had everything under control. It was clear that PSG were managing their energy rather than pushing the accelerator all the way down, which allowed the underdogs to threaten on two or three occasions. The Parisians had not been this wasteful in front of goal for almost two months, although it should be noted that they struck the woodwork twice. A little more luck could easily have seen another couple of attempts find the back of the Troyes net.What will particularly please Enrique is the manner in which the decisive goal was scored. It came from a set-piece situation, an area of the game in which the reigning champions have clearly made significant progress. PSG found the net from a dead-ball situation for the 15th time this season. Freiburg are next on the list with 14 such goals, followed by Bayern Munich with 13. It is further evidence that, despite everything he has achieved over the past two years, the Spanish coach continues to fine-tune and improve his footballing machine.After the international break, PSG will travel to face Nice, before welcoming Roma in the Champions League and then hosting Lorient in Ligue 1.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 10FridayToulouse – Strassbourg 3-1 (1-0)/Hidalgo 45+1, McKenzie 56, Jorgensen 76 – Reyna 67/SaturdayAuxerre – Paris 0-1 (0-0)/Sinayoko 63/PSG – Troyes 1-0 (1-0)/Zabarnyi 39/Sunday17.00: (2.15) Rennes (3.80) Lille (3.10)19.15: (3.30) Angers (4.00) Nice (2.05)19.15: (2.80) Brest (3.45) Olympique Lyon (2.45)19.15: (2.75) Le Havre (3.30) Lorient (2.55)19.15: (4.40) Le Mans (4.20) Monaco (1.72)22.45: (2.30) Lens (3.80) Olympique Marseille (2.80)***odds are subject to change***
