The first 14 rounds of Ligue 1 this season are finished. To many's surprise, the table is led by neither PSG nor Marseille, but Lens.
At the start of this season, Lens were not considered among Ligue 1's strongest sides. Yet as the campaign progressed, they maintained a consistent position near the top of the table. In the 14th round, capitalising on Paris Saint-Germain's 0-1 defeat to Monaco, Lens seized the opportunity to ascend to the summit of the Ligue 1 standings.
This marks the first time since 2004 that Lens have occupied the league's top spot at the conclusion of a single matchday. Indeed, Lens's previous summit appearance came merely at the season's outset, when they occupied first place after three matches with two wins and a draw. After a 21-year wait, this side has finally returned to the summit. Regardless of Lens's ultimate standing this season, one can be certain that their supporters will savour immense joy throughout this week.
