Paris Saint-Germain defeated Strasbourg 3-0 in the French Premier League on Sunday, marking their first win since March 2018 and securing their place in the top flight for the rest of the season.
The match was particularly exciting as PSG had been struggling to find consistency throughout the season, but they were able to put together a dominant performance against a side that has struggled recently. The goal-scoring duo of Kylian Mbappe and Marquinhos combined for three goals in the game, including two spectacular individual efforts from the forward.
The first goal came in the 6th minute when Mbappe scored from a tight angle, firing past goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. The second goal followed in the 35th minute when Mbappe netted his second goal of the day, sending the ball into the back of the net from a corner kick.
The third goal came in the 74th minute when Mbappe headed home a header from a long ball from Thiago Silva, who had received a free kick before the pass. This was Mbappe's first goal this season and it showed how he is adapting to the pressure of playing at such high levels.
Despite their success, PSG will have to be careful not to let their pride get the better of them as they aim to secure a spot in the Champions League next season. However, they should be pleased with their performance and the result against a team that has struggled recently. They will now focus on preparing themselves for the upcoming matches and ensuring they stay strong in the league standings.
