Achraf Hakimi shot on goal to score the 2-0 for PSG vs. Clermont after an excellent play by Lionel Messi and Neymar to assist the full-back who extends the lead. The full-back appeared as part of a counterattack managed by the two stars in the front line of the French team and received the ball from the right side to connect it and beat the goalkeeper.
The party continues for PSG against Clermont and now Achraf Hakimi joined with an impossible shot to contain. In addition, the team led by Galtier has been presenting great mobility like this play that was organized by their two pillars in the attack.
At the start of the match, Neymar appeared after an unintentional assist from Lionel Messi that deflected the ball for it to reach the feet of the Brazilian. At the same time, he opened the scoring with the first goal of the season for the Parisians, who aim to be superior again in the domestic stage.
PSG VS. CLERMONT: PREVIEW
With a renewed air with Christophe Galtier on the bench instead of Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain begins the defense of its title in Ligue 1. Galtier was the architect of Lille's championship in 2021, just ahead of PSG. Right from the start, PSG was able to celebrate its first title of the season by winning the Trophée des Champions (French Super Cup) last Saturday, with a 4-0 victory over Nantes, with Neymar scoring a brace and goals from Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos.
Neymar and Messi assumed responsibility that day in the absence of Kylian Mbappé, who was suspended for that match and will miss the Ligue 1 opener due to a muscle injury. The Frenchman has a discomfort in the adductors and was not included in the squad.
Clermont, seventeenth last season, seems destined to fight for survival in a very dangerous season in the lower zone, as there will be four direct relegations to reduce the number of teams in the top division from 20 to 18.
