This Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain won 4-2 (video summary PSG/Strasbourg) against Strasbourg during the 8th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025 at the Parc des Princes. Here are our top and flops of this victory

Tops –

4 goals scored

Let’s face it, PSG weren’t extraordinary, but they didn’t have to be, passing Strasbourg by 4 goals to regain the lead in Ligue 1 and affording themselves the luxury of doing so with all the absentees plus Marquinhos, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes and Dembélé. A fine comeback for PSG after the international break.

Mayulu in progress

As we know, he’s young and interesting, and obviously playing time will give him the chance to progress. With more experience, he could have scored three or four. This proves that Luis Enrique was right to keep him at all costs.

Barcola and Neves carry on.

Top scorer and top passer, the two players are not stopping there. They weren’t good all the time in this match, but both can pride themselves on not being invisible on the pitch, and that’s appreciable. We’re now looking forward to this kind of performance in the Champions League, with the executives players on top.

Flops –

Two goals, one from a corner…

PSG didn’t learn from their mistakes and conceded a predictable goal. It’s a shame, because the Parisians could have scored more and not taken the goal, which would have unconsciously changed a lot of things in the on-the-spot analysis. But soccer is a game of details, and for the moment, Paris are managing to get away with it in matches within their reach, but we have to be careful, because it won’t always work out.

A lot of waste

A lot of young players who don’t usually play much, and this was reflected in a number of technical errors. It’s not easy to create chemistry between players in need of playing time. Everyone wants to make their contribution, and sometimes they “force” things a little too much, which makes the team vulnerable at times.
