While Paris Saint-Germain beat Anderlecht 5-0 away, Benfica was tied 1-1 at home by Olympiacos, allowing Paris Saint-Germain to widen the points gap with these two teams.
Back in China, on October 27, in the 11th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Saint-Etienne 4-1 away.
On November 1, in the 12th round of French Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Lorient 7-0 at home, playing the game with the biggest score difference in Ligue 1 so far this season.
Moreover, Lu Wenbin also scored five goals in a single game in Ligue 1 for the first time in this game, which made the home fans at the Parc des Princes very excited.
Then, it was the Champions League again.
On November 5, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain will face Anderlecht at home, and Benfica will challenge Olympiacos away.
90 minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain successfully defeated Anderlecht 5-0 at home, but Benfica lost 0-1 to Olympiacos away.
So, after the fourth round of the group stage, Paris Saint-Germain ranked first with 12 points, Olympiacos ranked second with 7 points, Benfica ranked third with 4 points, and Anderlecht ranked last with 0 points.
With two rounds left, Paris Saint-Germain is 8 points ahead of Benfica. Benfica can never catch up with Paris Saint-Germain: Paris Saint-Germain qualified two rounds in advance.
However, they did not secure first place in the group.
On November 9, in the 13th round of French Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain beat Nice 5-1 at home. Lu Wenbin continued to score goals. In the first 13 rounds of his debut in Ligue 1, he tied the record of 13 consecutive Ligue 1 goals set by Masnag of Valenciennes in the 1962/1963 season.
Later, when the international football match day came, Lu Wenbin still did not return to China to participate in the national team's warm-up match.
Anyway, China has already qualified for the World Cup qualifiers and entered the finals of the Asian Cup as the defending champion. The Chinese team is now playing warm-up matches and friendly matches. There is no need for Lu Wenbin to go back and stay at home to accompany the pregnant Kate.
After the national team game, we returned to the league. On November 23, in the 14th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain played away against Reims.
As expected, Lu Wenbin scored a lightning goal in just the 4th minute of the game, breaking Valenciennes' record and setting a new record of 14 consecutive goals in Ligue 1 games.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain won 4-1 against Reims away from home and continued to lead the standings with a perfect record.
The terrifying Paris Saint-Germain has not even had a draw so far and has won all 14 league games, which is extremely terrifying.
On November 27, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain faced Olympiacos at home. Paris Saint-Germain, which had already qualified in advance, did not let up, but played with all its main players: because they wanted to get first place in the group and have a better chance of getting into the round of 16.
As expected, Paris Saint-Germain, with all its main players playing, defeated Olympiacos 4-0 at home. With five wins in five games, they have 15 points and are ranked first in Group C.
With Benfica defeating Anderlecht and Olympiacos both having only 7 points, Paris Saint-Germain secured first place in the group. Anderlecht was also eliminated early, leaving Olympiacos and Benfica to compete for the second qualifying spot.
Back in the league, on December 1, in the 15th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain will face Lyon at home.
Lyon was once the overlord of French Ligue 1. Between 2001 and 2008, they won seven consecutive French Ligue 1 titles, setting the record for the longest consecutive championship in the top five European leagues.
Previously, the longest consecutive championship in the top five leagues was five consecutive championships, held jointly by Juventus and Real Madrid.
The seven consecutive French Ligue 1 titles created an astonishing record.
Moreover, Lyon is not only a bully at home, but also has outstanding performances in the Champions League.
Especially in the 2009/2010 season, Lyon eliminated the superstar-studded Real Madrid in the round of 16, allowing Real Madrid to maintain the shameful title of the 16th place in the Champions League, which shocked the world football.
However, Lyon's performance this season has not been good.
After the first 14 rounds, Lyon ranked only seventh, not to mention the Champions League, it didn't even make it to the Europa League zone.
Maybe Lyon will have to say goodbye to the European arena next season.
Therefore, despite facing the terrifying Paris Saint-Germain and playing away, Lyon played very hard in this game.
Unfortunately, the huge gap in strength cannot be made up just by the players’ willingness and desire to fight.
After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 6-1, a rather shocking number.
Lyon, who once won the French Ligue 1 championship for seven consecutive years, was beaten to a pulp by Paris Saint-Germain and only managed to save a little face with a lucky goal in the final stages of the game.
Subsequently, on December 4, in the 16th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain played away against Yvion; on December 7, they faced Sochaux at home.
Paris Saint-Germain won both games easily.
However, due to the tight schedule, several players were physically exhausted and needed to rest, while others accumulated yellow cards and needed to rest in the next league game.
Therefore, having already secured first place in the group and qualifying, Paris Saint-Germain made a large-scale rotation in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage on December 10, and even sent two youth team players to play.
Paris Saint-Germain, who played with almost all substitutes, lost 1-2 to Benfica away from home. Lu Wenbin sat on the bench the entire time, and his record of consecutive goals in the Champions League stopped at 13 games.
However, Benfica, who defeated the terrifying Paris Saint-Germain, did not get the result they wanted, because in another game that was taking place at the same time, Olympiacos defeated Anderlecht by a large margin at home.
As a result, Olympiacos and Benfica both have 10 points, but Olympiacos has a higher goal difference than Benfica.
Olympiacos advanced to the round of 16 as the second in the group, while Benfica can only play in the Europa League.
After the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the teams that advanced to the round of 16 of the 2013/2014 season were all decided, namely Manchester United, Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Galatasaray, Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos, Bayern, Manchester City, Chelsea, Schalke 04, Dortmund, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Zenit St. Petersburg, Barcelona, and AC Milan.
Among them, Galatasaray in Group B beat Juventus to qualify as the second in the group, and Zenit St. Petersburg in Group G beat Porto to qualify, which were two upsets.
After the 18th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain played away against Rennes on December 14, Paris Saint-Germain continued to lead the standings with winning streak, and Lu Wenbin has achieved a terrifying record of scoring in 18 consecutive games in Ligue 1.
Lu Wenbin's own record for the longest consecutive scoring in the European League is 21 games. Now Lu Wenbin is getting close to this record and may even create a new record.
It's simply unbearable to look at.
On December 16, UEFA held the draw ceremony for the 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League round of 16.
As a result, Paris Saint-Germain was lucky enough to draw Leverkusen, a pretty good opponent, at least much easier to deal with than Manchester City, Arsenal, AC Milan and the like.
Paris Saint-Germain, with Lu Wenbin, has basically booked a spot in the quarterfinals.
