Incidents
Day 1. Stade Gabriel Montpied.
Those from Galtier jumped into the Gabriel Montpied knowing that they could not drop the good image provided in Tel Aviv against Nantes. The new coach did not change his eleven, leaving the same elect from Israel not being able to count on Kylian Mbappé yetinjured in the adductors and still without making his official debut with the capital.
Although the absence of the French striker is not a problem for PSG to dominate the games from start to finish. They did not reach the 10′ of the game when Neymar already opened the scoring after an assist from Messi. The Argentine reached the baseline, hung the ball and it hit the Brazilian’s boot, who struck down Diaw’s resistance with a right hand to make it 0-1.
Already with the first in their pocket, the Parisians loosened up more and more, always falling on the boots of Messi and Neymar to create danger. And so they came to the second, with Hakimi finishing off a counterattack, and then the third, with a shipment from the Brazilian to connect in the area with his compatriot Marquinhos.
But the cherry on the cake was missing, which fell in the second half. first with Neymar’s assist hat-trick what for Messi was released on the scoreboard, and then with the postcard of the day: a pass from Paredes that Lionel received in the area, controlled chest and defined Chilean to lower the curtain of the match.
