Last week France and the entire world football put the confrontation between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in the center of the headlines. Tonight (Sunday), together with Messi, the superstars left everything behind and aired business as usual, when they starred in Paris Saint-Germain’s predatory 7:1 over Lille in the third round of the French league, thus leaving the champions perfect with 9 points from 9 possibilities.

The climax of the evening came already after 8 seconds. The champions started the game from the halfway line, the ball reached Leo Messi who, with a typical master pass, put Mbappe alone in front of the goalkeeper and the latter did not get confused and equaled Michel Rio’s record, which lasted from 1992, as the fastest scorer in the history of the French league.

From there, it was really child’s play for PSG, who enjoyed and danced every moment on the pitch led by their stars. Messi doubled in the 27th minute from the center of the box after a header from Nuno Mendesh, when in the 39th minute Neymar scored the third for Ashraf Hakimi. In the 43rd minute, the Brazilian himself joined the celebration and took down the champion by 0:4 at the break.

In the 53rd minute, Hakimi and Neymar switched roles, with the Brazilian benefiting from a cook from the Moroccan, and after Jonathan Bambame scored in the 54th minute, in the 67th minute, we got the game’s progress, which proved that that “fight” was already far behind. Neymar started the attack and passed to Mbappe, the striker jumped over the defense, passed to the Brazilian and sprinted to the center of the box to get the ball back from his friend and roll it into the net. And it doesn’t end there. In the 87th minute, Neymar once again scored for Mbappe, who completed a great hat trick. After two fifths in the opening rounds, PSG increases and bombs seven to the champion’s net from two years ago and as its stars seem to be together so far, it will be very difficult to stop them in Europe as well.
