They even ended up seducing the Clermont public. A week after their brilliant victory during the Champions Trophy against Nantes, the Parisians gave a perfect copy to Clermont-Ferrand, in the start of the championship, Saturday August 6 (5-0). Neymar and Leo Messi were sparkling, and the name of the Argentinian was even chanted by the spectators of the Gabriel Montpied stadium on the fifth Parisian goal.
And say that Kylian Mbappé, embarrassed to adductors, was not even present in Clermont on Saturday evening … In the absence of the French nugget, the other Parisian offensive stars shone in the start of the 2022-2023 League season 1. In line with their performance during the Champions Trophy, the Parisians delivered a very applied and very serious copy, both offensively and defensively against a team from Clermont too technically to worry the champions of France in title.
The men of Christophe Galtier did not take long to illustrate in the opposing surface, with the opening of the scoring from the ninth minute of Neymar, served by Pablo Sarabia. With discounts in one or two touches of the ball and projections forward using the wings, the Parisians constantly brought the danger to the Clermont camp, while the Auvergne were just lacking in the area of the surface on their few phases possession. In difficulty in each loss of the ball, the Clermontois suffered on the flashing against PSG, in particular on the second goal, scored by Achraf Hakimi, served by Neymar (26

Beyond that delivered to Hakimi, the number 10 Parisian also distinguished itself on a free kick, perfectly placed to allow Marquinhos to score the third goal of the head (38
And while PSG seemed to lower the pace a little in the last quarter of an hour, the Brazilian combined with Messi, and the Argentinian increased a little more the scoring (80
Brilliant and altruistic offensively, even though Mory Diaw made a good match in the Clermont cages, the players of the capital also showed that they were determined not to collect a goal. Unusual thing last season, PSG attackers also participated in defensive efforts. The 3-4-3 established by Christophe Galtier already seems to prove himself, with very physically shattered players, enough to make Montpellier tremble, who will present himself at the Parc des Princes on Saturday August 13.
