PSG has ideally prepared the reception of Juventus Turin, scheduled for the kick-off of the Champions League next Tuesday. Led by a Lionel Messi of the big nights, perfect in his role as maestro and altruist (two assists), the Parisians easily disposed of FC Nantes, who played a good part of the match with ten (0-3). Kylian Mbappé scored twice to join Neymar, replacing at kick-off, in the ranking of top scorers in Ligue 1. The capital club regains its throne thanks to this fifth success in six days. The only downside? Vitinha’s injury exit, which led to Fabio’s logical expulsion.

The first clear action of the match is also signed Samuel Moutoussamy, who came close to opening the scoring with a nice shot that grazed the post of Gianluigi Donnarumma (10th). Antoine Kombouaré’s men got into the game well, embarrassing the Parisians with their well-applied tactical device, mixed with a hint of audacity. Alas, everything shattered on a clear strike from Kylian Mbappé, who opened his foot well on a service from Lionel Messi, after a supersonic counter (0-1, 18th). The beginning of a long evening for strong-willed but helpless Canaries.

At eleven against eleven, the task was already tough. In numerical inferiority, it became almost impossible. However, the Parisians waited for the second period to widen a definitive gap. Unhappy with an acrobatic return attempted just before the break (45th + 4), Mbappé offered himself a double after a new exchange with Messi, a goal first refused for an offside position, finally canceled by the VAR ( 0-2, 54th). The Frenchman could even have scored a hat-trick if Nicolas Pallois had not found himself in the path of his shot from a tight angle (62). In view of this very favorable scenario, Christophe Galtier allowed himself to rotate, in particular by replacing Mbappé with Neymar. The Brazilian nearly regained the lead in the scoring charts, hitting the post on a back cross from Achraf Hakimi. That was without counting Nuno Mendes, who followed well behind his back to open his counter in the French championship and consolidate his team’s incredible goal average a little more (0-3, 68th). After this third achievement, Messi continued to delight the spectators. He really deserved to add his name to the scoreboard (76th, 77th, 84th). Everything is going well, therefore, for PSG, who have already forgotten their hitch against Monaco (1-1) and can now concentrate on the match against Juventus Turin. The Parisians will start the Champions League with a shock which will say a priori a little more about their ambitions. They may be deprived of Vitinha, but all members of the workforce seem concerned judging by the performance of each other since the start of the season. FC Nantes, already corrected by Paris during the Champions Trophy (4-0), will hardly be able to blush at the end of this new defeat. PSG is really tough this season. Especially if Messi has become Messi again.
