Who will oppose Christophe Galtier’s PSG in Ligue 1? Certainly not LOSC, which received a hell of a slap on its lawn (1-7), at the end of the third day. Propelled by a super fast goal from Kylian Mbappé, who also scored a hat-trick, the Parisians left their opponents in the evening absolutely no chance. Neymar, who signed three assists and a double, was also a great craftsman of the attacking festival of his team, leaving behind him the penaltygate which has animated the news in recent days. This new show of force proves that PSG will be difficult to get this season. In the standings, the capital club is already alone on its throne, with already 17 goals scored and an incredible goal difference (+14!).

Conversely, PSG were extremely efficient, in addition to being rather very inspired in their attacks. Technically superior, Marco Verratti and co shook the Lille defenders more than once, and the nets with it. After a goal logically refused for an offside position (17th), Lionel Messi took the break by taking care of everything, after a lag for Nuno Mendes (0-2, 27th). Perfectly launched by Neymar, Achraf Hakimi then split with a nice cross shot to deceive Léo Jardim (0-3, 39th).
Just before halftime, the Brazilian, definitely in all the right moves, benefited from a favorable counter to add his name to the scoreboard (0-4, 43rd). You will understand, PSG was really on another planet, and everything smiled on him. The worst ? The fix didn’t stop there. Upon returning from the locker room, the Parisians did not want to let go of their grip, quickly scoring a fifth goal through Neymar (0-5, 52nd), the usual price since the start of the season. The reduction in the score of Bamba, who did it in two stages to finally deceive Donnarumma, will be anecdotal (1-5, 54th).

Neymar-Mbappé, perfect connection
Because, behind, PSG continued to chain good deeds and disgust Léo Jardim, who waited for the second act to make a first save (57th). The last rampart of the Mastiffs unfortunately could not do anything against a never satisfied Mbappé. The prodigy scored twice after a long double one-two with Neymar (1-6, 66th) then a hat-trick on a new opening from the Brazilian (1-7, 87th). The two men did not stop looking for each other and, above all, finding each other.
Stars in tune, smiles on each face, ideas full of ideas, a shared and radiant desire, a Neymar more than ever found… All the lights are green for the training of Christophe Galtier. In four official outings, his players scored a whopping 21 goals, for 3 conceded. These statistics make it a bulldozer that is a priori not about to break down. The PSG will obviously be judged on the European scene but, in France, the mass seems already said. After three days, then.
