It took them a bit longer than expected to get going, but PSG eventually got the job done against Marseille in Le Classique. That result takes Thomas Tuchel's men to 11 straight wins and ties them with Tottenham's run at the start of the 1960/1961 season. No team in history has ever won 12 straight games to open a campaign in any of Europe's "Big 5" leagues, but Les Parisiens will be looking to do just that this weekend.
Here's all you need to know ahead of matchday 12.
Key fixture - PSG vs Lille
Lille will be the next team to try to stop PSG, and it goes without saying that they will face a daunting task. Although the visitors have been having one of their best seasons in recent times and sit in second spot, they are taking on a side who have been absolutely perfect this season. 39 goals scored. Six conceded. PSG do not just have the best attack, they have the strongest defense. They have not dropped a single point and on average, have scored over three goals per game since the season started. Meanwhile, their upcoming opponents are already eight points behind despite an impressive start, and only 11 rounds have been played.
So although Lille have won six of their last seven Ligue 1 games, PSG are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Lille across all competitions. And did we mention that they have yet to drop a single point in Ligue 1 this season? Still, Les Parisiens do face a tough away Champions League fixture against Napoli in a few days' time. Will that prove to be a distraction for the runaway league leaders?

Talking Point - Will Monaco finally catch a break?
Meanwhile, Thierry Henry's managerial debut has not gotten off to the start he had hoped, as Monaco still continue to flounder. Les Rouges-et-Blancs have slipped into 19th place and have failed to win their last ten Ligue 1 fixtures. Injuries continue to pile up, and although they are taking on a Reims side who have the joint-worst attack in the division, it doesn't seem like Monaco can catch a break at the moment.
Or will this be the game that they do finally get the breakthrough they desperately need? Tune in to find out.
