The big gap.

After a busy sequence, and marked by victories against the championship leaders of England (City, 4-2), Spain (Barça, 4-2) and… France (Lyon, 2-0), Paris Saint-Germain travels to Le Havre this Friday (7 p.m., Ligue 1+).

The Hac budget, around 28 million euros (17th in Ligue 1), is barely more than half of the transfer of Maghnes Akliouche (€50 million) from Monaco last summer.

And again, the two other least well-endowed clubs in the French championship, Le Mans (€25 million) and Angers (€30 million), manage to get by sportingly at the start of the season.
