Paris Saint-Germain continues to thrive this season, maintaining a perfect record despite the summer departure of star striker Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid. PSG’s latest triumph came with a 3-1 victory over Lille in the French league, extending their flawless start.
Currently leading the Ligue 1 standings with nine points from three matches, PSG has netted a remarkable 13 goals so far. The campaign began with a decisive 4-1 away win against Le Havre, followed by a dominant 6-0 victory over Montpellier.
In their match against Lille, Vitinha opened the scoring with a penalty in the 33rd minute, and Bradley Barcola quickly added a second for the defending champions. Although Edon Zhegrova pulled one back for Lille in the 78th minute, Randal Kolo Muani sealed PSG’s win with a goal in stoppage time.
