The PSG started the Ligue 1 with a 1-2 win over Troyes, but the Paris giants had to fight for it as their rivals scored first. The debut of the PSG in the French league didn’t go by unnoticed as the soccer community is already imagining how Mauricio Pochettino’s team will be if Lionel Messi finally decides to sign with them.

Paris Saint Germain started losing after conceding a goal from Oualid El Hajjam 9 minutes into the match. But Achraf Hakimi and Mauro Icardi scored ten minutes later to turn things around. Without Neymar, Mbappé, who is rumored to be connected with Real Madrid, was supposed to be the star but he couldn’t score.

While PSG is the better team, Troyes put up a fight. The host actually had more shots on goal than the visitors, and they disputed the ball possession. PSG tried to expand their advantage but, despite having some chances, failed to do so.
