Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) kicked off the post-Mbappé era with a bang, crushing Le Havre 4-1 in their Ligue 1 opener! ⚽️🔥
It took only three minutes for South Korean sensation Lee Kang-in to put PSG ahead in Normandy, igniting the match with an early goal that had fans buzzing. 🇰🇷✨ However, Le Havre's Gautier Lloris had other plans, leveling the score shortly after and keeping everyone on the edge of their seats. 😱
But PSG wasn't about to let their first game without Mbappé end in a draw. Enter the dynamic substitutes! Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola came off the bench to deliver back-to-back goals in the 85th and 86th minutes, turning the tide in PSG's favor. 🌪️🌟 And just when you thought it was over, Randal Kolo Muani sealed the deal with a cool penalty in stoppage time, making it a commanding 4-1 victory! 🎯💥
\"It’s the first game back and a very good start,\" beamed PSG’s coach Luis Enrique. \"The substitutes did a lot of good for us. The final score disguises the fact that there are things to improve upon, but we’re moving in the right direction.\" 🗣️👏
The match highlighted PSG's incredible depth, showcasing the talents of new signings and rising stars. Portuguese midfielder João Neves made his debut after joining from Benfica, while 16-year-old Ibrahim Mbaye impressed on the left wing. 🌟👶
Le Havre didn't make it easy, though. They had a goal disallowed by VAR and kept pressing until the end. Big shoutout to them for putting up a fight! 🙌
As PSG fans adjust to life without Mbappé, this win sheds light on an exciting new era for the club. Can they keep up the momentum and dominate Ligue 1 once again? Only time will tell, but it's looking 🔥 so far!
Stay tuned, football lovers! Next up, Monaco takes on Saint-Étienne, and Marseille travels to face Brest. The season is just heating up! ⚽️🔥
