Paris Saint-Germain secured their first win in this season’s Champions League group stage after beating Manchester City 2-0 at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night, a game in which Lionel Messi grabbed his first goal for the club.
Messi played a one-two with fellow forward Kylian Mbappe, whose backheel was perfectly weighed into the Argentine’s path and that allowed him to hit a first-time shot into the top right corner of Ederson’s goal.
Mbappe’s apparent discontent with Neymar last weekend was non-existent on Tuesday night, and all three members of PSG’s new MNM attack posed for a photo after beating City.
Neymar posted the photo on social media and it appears to signal the end of any potential dissatisfaction, for now at least.
What the performance against City did show is that PSG, led by Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, have put Europe on notice.
