Mbappé equaled a fantastic record in Paris Saint-Germain’s big victory in Lille (1-7) on behalf of the 3rd day of Ligue 1. It only took him 8 seconds to open the scoring in favor.
Since 1992, no player had scored so early in the French championship. At the time, Michel Rio had also scored for Caen against Cannes after 8 seconds.
The superiority of Christophe Galtier’s team at the start of the season is striking. PSG won 5-0, 5-2 and 7-1 in the first 3 days of Ligue 1. Against Lille, Mbappé scored 3 times, Neymar 2 times, Lionel Messi and Achraf Hakimi once each.
Favre’s OGC Nice can’t do it
Unrecognizable, Nice sank into doubt by falling to 9 against 11 in Clermont (1-0). Lucien Favre’s team still has no wins and only has 2 points. Nice is currently 15th in the standings.
The pressure is already maximum on Lucien Favre before an already decisive week: crucial return match against Maccabi on Thursday, then reception of OM on Sunday in L1. “We have to remobilise, raise our heads and move forward. We have to be more constant”pleaded the Vaudois coach.
