worn by Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, PSG recovers in Toulouse

This time, PSG were not surprised. Against a team from Toulouse who are still just as playful, the reigning French champion smiled again in Toulouse (0-3), Wednesday August 31, at 9 p.m., for the 5th day of Ligue 1. This success bears the mark of the Neymar tandem – Kylian Mbappé each scorer. Lionel Messi did not score, but it was he who served his two friends on a set.

The score could even have been heavier as Christophe Galtier’s men multiplied the opportunities. The essential is assured for the club of the capital, which remains at the head of the championship, three days after not having could do better than a draw against Monaco (1-1) on his lawn.

21 goals in five games

The Parisians reassured one week before receiving Juventus Turin, on the occasion of the first group match of their 2022-2023 Champions League campaign. The TFC did not deserve and could have scored as long as they did not refuse the game. But that was not enough against the Parisian machine, however, slowed down by goalkeeper Maxime Dupé, author of a high-flying match (9 stops). What limit the damage after having – already – conceded three goals in Nantes on Sunday. Paris, for its part, can also congratulate itself on the performance of its goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and this first match without conceding a goal since the first day.

PSG retain the Ligue 1 lead thanks to their already impressive goal difference of +17 after five rounds. But behind, we keep up the pace, since Lens and Marseille also won, and Lyon could join this group in the event of victory in their late match at Lorient.
