Host Ian Holyman is joined by Andy Scott and Jérémy Magan to take a look at how an injury-hit Paris Saint-Germain came unstuck at home to bogey side Rennes while OM - powered in particular by 12-goal Alexis Sanchez - cut the capital club's lead to seven points with a 2-1 win over Reims that ended the Champagne club's incredible 19-match unbeaten league run under Will Still. Lens confirmed their return to form with more heroics from Loïs 'five goals and one assist in two matches' Openda while Monaco had Big Cheddar Wissam ben Yedder on target in their 2-0 local-ish derby win in Ajaccio and Les Dogues from Lille kept their noses in the race for Europe with a wet and windy 2-0 win in Toulouse.  There's also Deja Who and Bon Voyage, so: don your pith helmets and get ready to explore the jungle of French football with the Official Ligue 1 podcast in English - Le Beau Jeu!

Coming up on today' show, we take a look at how PSG - who now have a ten-point lead atop the standings after Marseille threw away a two-goal lead over Strasbourg - very nearly didn't bounce back from Champions League elimination to Bayern Munich in mid-week. What will the fall-out be? Elsewhere, we look at the sensational six-goal thriller between LOSC and Lyon, Lens's roaring back to life and the continued unbeaten records of the young coaches in charge of Reims and Nice - Will Still and Didier Digard. There's also Deja Who and Bon Voyage so strap in and get ready for the galette saucisse of podcasts - Le Beau Jeu!

Host Robbie Thomson is joined by commentator Andy Scott and Côte d'Azure expert-at-large Luke Entwhistle to talk Kylian Mbappé - he now has a club-record 201 goals and is widely touted as the best player in the world. But can he sway the day again Bayern?  The lads also look at how the European race will shake out now that Marseille are out of the Coupe and discuss which sides are firming as favourites for the drop. And of course there's Déjà Who, with a weaponised koan of a clue from Oshō Thomson to contend with in the quest for a mystery Ligue 1 Uber Eats jersey... All that and more in this week's edition of Le Beau Jeu, the official Ligue 1 podcast!
