PSG 0 - 1 Marseille
Neymar among five sent off as Marseille end PSG hoodoo

Neymar was one of five players sent off after an injury-time brawl as Marseille beat Paris St-Germain in Ligue 1.
As he left the pitch, PSG's Brazil forward told the fourth official he had heard a racist comment.
Florian Thauvin scored the only goal as PSG lost their opening two league games for the first time since 1984-85.
Home substitutes Leandro Paredes and Layvin Kurzawa, and Marseille's Jordan Amavi and Dario Benedetto, were dismissed along with Neymar.
The referee watched a video assistant referee (VAR) replay of a punch by Neymar before showing the 28-year-old a straight red card.

After the match, Neymar posted on social media to say that his "only regret" was not hitting Marseille's Spanish defender Alvaro Gonzalez in the face, having struck him on the back of the head.

In response, Gonzalez denied claims of any wrongdoing, posting on social media: "There is no place for racism."

In the post-match news conference Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas said: "There is no place for racism in football but I don't think that was the case.

"We'll have to look at it."

The game, which was watched by a crowd of about 5,000 fans at the Parc des Princes, was fractious even before that late brawl. There were 17 cards shown, a record for a Ligue 1 game in the 21st Century.

The injury-time drama started when Marseille's Benedetto nudged Paredes in the back, with the PSG midfielder then punching him to the ground before appearing to headbutt Alvaro.

A melee broke out, with Kurzawa and Amavi punching and kicking each other.

Benedetto and Paredes were shown second yellow cards, with Kurzawa and Amavi given straight reds.

The VAR review showed Neymar had punched Alvaro, a player he had been in a running battle with, and the forward was shown a straight red card, having earlier been booked.

Alvaro had also been involved in a big first-half flashpoint when he suggested Angel di Maria spat at him.

Di Maria was one of seven PSG players - along with Neymar - to test positive for coronavirus before the season started, although he had since provided a negative test.

French League Cup to end from 2020 'to reduce season schedule'


French champions Paris St-Germain have won the League Cup a record eight timesThe French football league (LFP) has voted to suspend its League Cup competition from next year.
The tournament, which was founded in 1994, includes all the clubs from France's two top divisions and some from the third tier.

The winners enter the Europa League but that place will now be determined by the Ligue 1 final table.
"This allows us to reduce the season schedule which gives players more time to recover," said an LFP statement.
"Depending on the market, the LFP reserves the right to relaunch the competition at a later date."
The move means that only England, of Europe's top five leagues, will have a League Cup from 2020-21 season.

BUNDESLIGA PREVIEW:

Sancho and Haaland make Dortmund an exciting proposition but Leipzig and Leverkusen are weakened by Werner and Havertz exits... so can ANYONE stop Bayern Munich making it nine-in-a-row as the Bundesliga kicks off?
