The spectators of the Parc des Princes did not attend a tastiest Paris-Brest, Saturday September 10, but they were at least able to revel in a few pralines distributed by Lionel Messi to his teammates, at least in first period. Less flamboyant than in the start of the season, between two Champions League games, PSG still assured the essentials and remains undefeated this season in the league, thanks to a new goal from Neymar (1-0).

An eighth realization for Neymar, a seventh assist for Lionel Messi … No doubt, the two South Americans are the key players in the excellent start to the Parisian season. Their understanding has skipped again, when they have tried, on multiple occasions, to take advantage of the spaces in the back of Brest defenders to find the fault.

Stade Brestois experienced a first alert, in the 25th minute, when a red card was delivered to Christophe Hérelle for having mowed Neymar, who went to goal, but the latter in fact in fact in the offside position , exclusion did not take place. However, the warning was not enough since, five minutes later, the Brazilian was again served by Leo Messi, in the back of the defenders, and opened the scoring.

Donnarumma saves the three points

In the second period, the rhythm dropped in intensity and the Brestois suffered Parisian possession, without collecting a second goal, thanks to a good closure of the axis. And on one of their first incursions in the Paris camp after half-time, they obtained a fairly generous penalty after a fault by Presnel Kimpembe on Noah Fadiga. The penalty shot by Islam Slimani was however diverted by Gianluigi Donnarumma (70th).

The Parisian goalkeeper, who was guilty of a dumpling against Juventus on Tuesday September 6 in the Champions League, this time made his scale speak, legitimizing the confidence that his trainer has renewed to him, Christophe Galtier, during the week. The Italian porter then illustrated himself again in front of Slimani a few minutes later (78th), to allow his team to keep their advantage in the score.

Without shining, PSG therefore won at home, for its fifth match in thirteen days. Parisians may have lost Presnel Kimpembe, released on injury at the end of the match when he could have been expelled for an overly committed tackle and a mood gesture. They will continue their marathon period with a sixth match in eighteen days, Wednesday, September 14, against the Maccabi Haifa, in the Champions League.
