The French Ligue 1 season kicked off on Sunday with two matches played at the Stade de Lyon and Stade de Reims. The first match saw Lille draw 2-2 against RC Lens while Paris Saint-Germain defeated AS Monaco 3-1.

In the second match, there was a low-scoring affair between FC Metz and Nice, with both teams failing to score. However, it was the latter who emerged as the victors, winning 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Yannick Carrasco.

Despite the lacklustre attacking displays, the opening rounds of the new season have seen some interesting results. The first match between Lyon and Brest ended in a 0-0 draw, leaving both teams with one point each after just one game.

Meanwhile, Marseille suffered their first defeat of the season, falling 4-1 to St Etienne. This loss means that the champions will need to improve significantly if they want to compete for honours this season.

Overall, the opening rounds of the Ligue 1 season have been mixed, with some impressive performances from top sides and some disappointing results from lower-ranked teams. It remains to be seen how things will develop over the course of the season, but one thing is clear: there is sure to be plenty of excitement and drama to come.
