The PSG vs Lyon Preview

PSG are looking to comfortably dominate Ligue 1 in France, and this Sunday they have an important match against Lyon in the eighth round. Despite playing away, the Parisian squad demonstrates its power and took the lead with a goal from Lionel Messi, assisted by Neymar.

The match on the field of ​​Parc Olympique Lyonnais was just approaching five minutes when Christophe Galtier's team started an attack from the left. Kylian Mbappé received the ball and made a diagonal run, but he was surrounded and had to rely on Marco Verratti, a few meters behind.

Immediately, the Italian midfielder assisted Lionel Messi, who played a one-two with Neymar: he was enabled on the left and the Brazilian returned the favor near the penalty spot. Messi shot with his left foot and overcame the goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.

PSG has played 10 official matches in the season and has not suffered a defeat: nine wins and one draw. The only time that Christophe Galtier's team dropped points was in the 1-1 draw against Monaco on August 28, with Neymar equalizing from a penalty kick.

Precisely, the Brazilian is currently in great form and is the most influential player in the French league: he has scored eight goals and provided six assists. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé has seven goals but has not yet had the opportunity to assist his teammates.

On the other hand, Olympique Lyon had a notable start in Ligue 1, with Alexandre Lacazette scoring four goals in seven matches. However, the last two away games for the club ended in defeats: 3-1 against Lorient and 2-1 against Monaco.
