The French football league system is one of the most competitive leagues in Europe, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been on a roll this season with several impressive performances.
On Saturday night, PSG defeated Lyon FC in the Coupe de France, which was their first victory in that competition since 2014. The match was marred by controversy as PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino was given a red card for his role in a controversial goal celebrations at halftime.
However, it was not just about the results; PSG also had another big game to prepare for later in the week when they played Ajax in the UEFA Champions League. This time, PSG won 2-0 thanks to goals from Neymar, who scored twice, and Kylian Mbappe, who added a brace in the second half.
Neymar's Hattrick was particularly impressive, as he scored three times in a single game for the first time in his career. It was a hat-trick that set a new record for the number of goals scored in a single game for any player in European history.
Despite PSG's success, there were still some controversies during the weekend. On Sunday afternoon, PSG's star forward Neymar was involved in a fight with his team-mate Thiago Silva in the penalty area. Despite being injured, PSG did not allow the incident to affect their performance, but it highlighted the importance of discipline in football.
Overall, PSG's performances have been very strong this season, especially after the disappointing results of last season. However, there are still areas where they need to improve, such as their defense and their ability to score goals. They will be looking forward to the next round of matches and hopefully continue to perform well throughout the season.
