Ligue 1 22-23

First titulero for PSG.

PSG 4 - 0 Nantes, Messi MoM, Mbappe didn't play.

Nice that PSG got Renato Sanchez~! Hes definitely a top all round midfielder, and the price is so cheap? Dont know the details, but when so many lesser players are going for 50M+ how can he be so cheap is pretty amazing... anyway, very happy for PSG since they've had problem there for so long, n this is a big upgrade. So now the team hopefully to look something like:

Neymar  Mbappe  Messi

 Gueye  Verratti  Renate

Mendes Ramos Marquinhos Hakimi

I would definitely say thats a very exciting n attacking team of cos, these 3 midfielders are all full of energy n workhorses, which is what u need with u got the front 3 who are always gonna do less defensively, so hopefully they will be enough to cover that. Still, will prolly gonna score n concede loads of goals Exciting season ahead

Lets goo!

Didn't take long, 0-1 Neymar

Great watching Messi linking with with Mendes like Alba style, although without Mbappe its all predictable n Neymar isnt a 9 obviously... also cant see how Ramos n Messi will get along, they have no chemistry... but I assume the coach might wanna have Hakimi higher up n Ramos more as a RB which he used to be, if so that would mean Messi being less predictable always going left n have Hakimi as an option on the right. They always seem to wanna play all three of Kimpembe, Marquinhos n Ramos, so I would have:

Neymar Mbappe Messi

Mendes Verratti Renate/Gueye Hakimi

Kimpembe Marquinhos Ramos

No more Covid n WC yr, Messi turning it on this season Nice goal~

Messi with career first bicycle.

0-5 FT

PSG starting with style. Neymar - Messi - Sarabia is working very well Sarabia being defensive. I wonder if Mbappe coming back can work this good.

First bicycle goal is pretty surprising so later into his career, he should do them more often

One of my favorite stats is prior to this goal, Messi had only managed a bicycle kick assist, but not the goal. Such an odd stat to have.

...but can he do it on a hot night at the Bernabeu?

No he can't unfortunately, glad it finally happened for him tho

Marseille watch: Igor Tudor's side (a defender I totally did not like when I was young) was fun today even with that subpar footballer Guendouzi playing.

We'll see how next week is against the mighty Brest. And yes, I'm not watching Lyon this year, done with that side.

I'm actually cautiously optimistic this year despite the clueless coach on the bench

That Lepenant kid is an absolute baller. We finally struck gold with a young signing after years of overpaying for duds.

Going with same setup, except Mbappe for Sarabia.

who is Vitinha ? is he good?

Some brazilian. Seems decent, at least in midfield four setup.

Galtier has Mbapay playing RW. Lets see how long he lasts before the sporting director fires him

PSG dominating but not getting goal, then gets gift varpeno.

Mbappe botches it.

He's playing CF now.

Of what I can see the position of their forwards is more rigid and less overlapping. Could be good for the team but not Messi and Mbapay.

Mbapay with a penalty miss

This team is so weird. They should have one designated penalty taker and be done with it. It seems to swing to whoever has the most power at the time. Absolutely pathetic

1-0 Own goal, lets see if flood gates open now.

2-0 Neymar from peno.

2-0 HT

Mbappe and Vitinha being poor, Messi MoM by far. Already seen Mbappe sulking at the 47 minute mark on counter. Interesting times.

3-0 Neymar
