Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain beats Strasbourg 4-2

Lionel Messi sat in the stands as Paris Saint-Germain beat Strasbourg 4-2 in Ligue 1 on Saturday, continuing their winning start to the season. Messi, Neymar, and other new acquisitions Gianluigi Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos did not make the match team, but his new side took an early lead thanks to Mauro Icardi at Parc des Princes.

Kylian Mbappe then increased PSG's lead in the 25th minute with a deflected shot, before Julian Draxler converted the France international's cross two minutes later to put the hosts up 3-0. However, goals from Kevin Gameiro and Ludovic Ajorque in the second half pulled the visitors back into the game, with PSG appearing uneasy in control. PSG now leads the standings with two wins from two games, while Lille was crushed 4-0 at home by Nice earlier in the day.
