Comparison in top 5 leagues

74; This is the number of points from Paris Saint-Germain after 28 match days in Ligue 1. A yield that was enough for the 13th championship title in the club’s history six game days before the end-22 points is the unobstructible lead over the second-placed Olympique Marseille. But what is this number in the historical comparison of the five great European leagues and which top brands can fall?
It is the third time after 2017/18 (under Unai Emery) and 2018/19 (under Thomas Tuchel) that PSG collected so many points at that time of the season. At that time, the Parisians had one more victory than now (24 instead of 23), but also two defeats, while they did not leave the pitch as a loser during this season (there are five draws). To end unbeaten all year round would be a novelty in the history of the French league.
PSG could break FC Bayern’s point record
Since 2000, only seven clubs of the Big Five had more points after 28 match days than PSG: FC Liverpool (2019/20 with 79), Bayern Munich (2012/13 with 75 and 2013/14 with 78), Bayer Leverkusen (2023/2024 with 76), FC Barcelona (2010/11 with 75), Juventus Turin (2013/14 with 75 and 75 and 2018/19 with 75), Manchester City (2017/18 with 75) and Inter Milan (2023/24 with 75).
In total, PSG could end up in 92 points if all remaining six games should be won. The French capital club would break the FC Bayern point record with 91 in the Bundesliga history from the 2012/13 season under Jupp Heynckes. Comparisons with the other teams mentioned away from the Bundesliga are out of the question, since there were 20 teams in those seasons in England, Spain and Italy and not 18 as currently in France in the league.
In the meantime, there were also 20 clubs in Ligue 1, which is why 93 points 2017/18 and even 96 points 2015/16 were available in the history of PSGs. The record in the top 5 leagues in Europe with the exception of the Bundesliga has been holding Juventus with 102 points since 2013/14. Barcelona, City and Real, each cracked exactly the 100-point mark, as reading from the TM database has shown since the reform of the Premier League 1992/93.
