This Saturday, Paris returned to Ligue 1 after their first victory of the season in the Champions League against Juventus Turin. At home, the Parisians received the Brest Stadium, 17th in the standings and authors of a complicated start to the season. Unsurprisingly, the start of the meeting is favorable to the Parisians. Carried by a trio Messi – Neymar – Mbappé still as formidable, the Red and Blue multiply the hot actions before logically finding the net. On a good ball from Messi, Neymar perfectly connects control of the right – cross shot from the left to afford his 8th goal of the season (30th). An achievement synonymous with a record since the Parisian became thanks to this goal, the 4th top scorer in the history of PSG with 110 goals. At the break, Paris has a goal lead. A short advantage that Christophe Galtier’s men failed to dig when they returned from the locker room. In the second act, the Parisians purr and drop in intensity. Jostled by the Brestois, Kimpembe offers a penalty to the men of Der Zakarian after a foul on Fadiga. Islam Slimani takes responsibility but his attempt is repelled by Gianluigi Donnarumma (71st). The Bretons can feed regrets, the Parisians thank their goalkeeper. Final score 1-0, Paris is doing well and regains its leading position.
