by admin

Kylian Mbappe set a record for Paris Saint-Germain by becoming their all-time highest goalscorer in Ligue 1 when they won against Lens. Before kick-off, he had never scored against Lens. During the match Lens’ Salis Abdul Samed was sent off early on, and then Lionel Messi and Vitinha scored for PSG, but Lens got a goal back with a penalty from Przemyslaw Frankowski so PSG won and moved five points ahead in the league table.

Lens was 3-0 behind at half-time, but they still created lots of opportunities to score. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to get any more than the penalty kick scored by Frankowski. As a result, Paris Saint Germain is getting closer to winning their 11th league title. Players such as Donnarumma, Marquinhos, Ramos, Danilo, Hakimi, Soler, Ruiz and Vitinha were all part of this game. Nuno Mendes and Bernat were both substituted at 77 and 88 minutes respectively. Lastly, Messi and Mbappé also made an appearance in the match.
