Without Dembélé, Marquinhos or Hakimi, spared, PSG relaunched on Saturday thanks to notably to an excellent Bradley Barcola by beating Strasbourg (4-2) after two matches without a victory, and regained the lead in Ligue 1.
Largely reworked, Paris was often hampered by the high pressing of the Alsatians (7th, 10 pts), but managed to play behind them thanks to the in-depth calls from Bradley Barcola on his left side, returned to form from his stay with the Blues.
Bradley Barcola was the leader of PSG in the absence of some of his executives.

After a strong start to the season, the former OL striker has experienced a slight slump in recent weeks. He woke up well on Saturday and found his legs in the rain at the Parc des Princes: he even scored his 7th goal of the season by playing past three Strasbourg defenders (3-1, 65th), just after the cancellation from a penalty he thought he had caused.
The big victory – thanks to a goal from Lee Kang-in at the end of the match and despite two goals from Strasbourg – was spoiled by homophobic chants chanted mainly by the Ultras from the Auteuil stand in view of the match against Olympique de Marseille next weekend.
The speaker intervened twice to stop these chants, which continued for several minutes.
