Paris Saint-Germain beat Stade Brestois 29, remain top of the Ligue 1 standings
Paris Saint-Germain maintain their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table
Paris Saint-Germain consolidated their position at the summit of the Ligue 1 standings with a convincing 3-1 victory against Stade Brestois 29 on Saturday. The French giants extended their unbeaten start to the season to 14 matches, with Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe all on target.
Messi gave PSG the lead in the 30th minute with an exquisite free-kick, before Neymar doubled their advantage shortly after the hour mark with a composed finish. Mbappe put the game to bed in the 80th minute with a clinical strike, ensuring that Christophe Galtier's side maintained their five-point lead over second-placed Lens.
Paris Saint-Germain's dominance in Ligue 1 continues
Paris Saint-Germain's dominance in Ligue 1 continues unabated, with the capital club now unbeaten in their last 30 league matches. They have won 27 of those games, drawing just three, and have scored a remarkable 91 goals while conceding only 18.
Their closest challengers, Lens, have also impressed this season but remain five points adrift of the leaders. PSG's superior goal difference of +73 also gives them a significant advantage over their rivals.
Paris Saint-Germain turn attention to UEFA Champions League
With their position at the top of the Ligue 1 table seemingly secure, Paris Saint-Germain can now turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League. The French champions will travel to Germany to face Bayern Munich in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday.
PSG will be confident of causing an upset against the German giants, having already beaten Juventus and Maccabi Haifa in the group stage. They will be buoyed by the return of Kylian Mbappe, who missed the last two Ligue 1 matches with a minor injury.
