Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured victory over fellow French giants Lille in the Ligue 1 round 6 match on Saturday night, with a late goal from Kylian Mbappé securing all three points for the reigning champions.
The game was a closely contested affair throughout, with both teams showing excellent defensive work and creating chances. However, it was PSG who ultimately emerged victorious, thanks to a clinical finish from Mbappé in extra-time.
The French international striker had been in fine form this season, scoring eight goals in his first six games for the club. But it was his ability to score the winning goal that made the difference on Saturday night, as he beat Lille goalkeeper Quentin福Mannuel to a loose ball and fired home from close range.
Despite their defeat, Lille manager Christophe Galtier praised his team's performance and said they will be determined to bounce back against rivals Monaco next weekend. Meanwhile, PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with his side's display and said they showed why they are considered one of the best teams in Europe.
Overall, the result is a big boost for PSG ahead of what promises to be another exciting campaign in France's top flight. With Mbappé continuing to impress and the likes of Neymar and Angel Di Maria also playing well, there is no doubt that the Parisians have the potential to challenge for the title again this year.
