Paris Saint-Germain offered a fine demonstration on Saturday evening against RC Lens, runner-up to the Parisians last year. Victory 3-1 thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappé. With this great success during the shock of the third day of Ligue 1, Paris is finally launching its season.
Kylian Mbappé was in great shape for his first start this season. The Parisian striker gives PSG a brace against Lens, and led the club to a 3-1 victory. Paris Saint-Germain can now boast of having finally launched its season, for the third day of Ligue 1. A great success because it is the whole of the Parisian team which was very solid this Saturday evening, at the image of the midfielders: the rookie Manuel Ugarte or Warren Zaire-Emery, just 17 years old, delighted the Parc des Princes.
XXL Performance
And PSG’s overall performance delighted club coach Luis Enrique. “What I liked the most was the audacity of the players, especially when Lens put us under pressure. I consider them to be definitely one of the best teams in the championship. It was a League game Champions. My players were very brave and against a good defense we had a lot of chances. Above all, I dedicate this victory to our supporters,” he said after the match.
On the RC Lens side, the start of the season is a nightmare with two defeats and a draw. For Paris, it’s a first victory in Ligue 1, accompanied by an XXL performance from Kylian Mbappé. Back in front of his supporters, his double definitely launches the PSG version Luis Enrique. It now remains to be seen whether or not the Spanish coach will be accompanied by number seven, whose future remains unclear four days before the end of the transfer window.
