PSG wins in Lille for its first big test of the season in Ligue 1

Apart from Nuno Mendes, who was suffering from a virus and was absent from the group, Luis Enrique had chosen to extend his confidence in the starters from last weekend, against Montpellier (6-0). A choice that paid off, the Dembélé-Asensio-Barcola trio shone again. Ousmane Dembélé unlocked the match by winning a penalty on a hook that completely took out Alexsandro. Designated for the exercise, Vitinha converted his penalty with a stoppage time that recalled Neymar’s signature technique (1-0, 33rd), before Bradley Barcola doubled the lead in the process (2-0, 36th).
