3-0 and P$G almost fecked it up

PSG 4-2 Strasbourg FT:

PSG defeat Strasbourg at home, 4-2.

Despite being 3-0 up, they conceded two before an 86th minute Sarabia goal to seal it.

In the most recent season for which financial information is available (2019-20), PSG wages of €414m accounted for more than 31% of all wages in Ligue 1.

In 2021-22 it will be closer to 40%. Five per cent of the players getting 40% of the cash. Seems legit.

Those are great figures - for such a young club too. It is testament to how well they have been run financially. And to do it in a one of the second tier leagues too is very impressive.

2-0 already to P$G, see if they can keep a clean sheet this time…

Nope. Desperately clinging on at 3-2.

Icardi injuring himself diving is the highlight so far.

PSG appear to be an expensive version of Ossie’s famous 5 team!

It’s one thing going toe to toe with Farmer’s League dross but not sure that will work against the cream of CL.

French fans have a very different version of Kick It Out!

A fan tries to kick Dimitri Payet after a pitch invasion halted Nice vs Marseille! 😳 pic.twitter.com/J0iOi4JImf

Crazy scenes in Ligue 1 😱

Dimitri Payet was hit by a missile thrown from the crowd, and when he threw it back it all kicked off...

The match was suspended as chaos descended on the pitch, with the managers even getting involved! pic.twitter.com/Skk7VoLoIa

Anyone see this? Bottles thrown at players - and back again from players into fans! Headbutts thrown at fans invading the pitch! Carnage...in a Frechie kind of way..

PSG have signed Nuno Medes, another great signing. They really have a very strong squad.

◉ Rennes had one win from their last five Ligue 1 games

Marseille have, understandably, decided to not restart the game despite the decision taken by the referee and the league to resume it. Lyon players back in the dressing room now. What a mess and unfortunately not for the first time in Ligue 1 this season… https://t.co/Nq7gBgaaG0

Match has been suspended for over an hour after Payet got hit in the head by a bottle.

🚨 Le match Lyon - Marseille est interrompu suite à des jets de projectiles sur le terrain. Un supporter lyonnais a touché Payet à la tête avec une bouteille pleine.

PSG conceding from corners like Le Spurs! Referee just bailed them out with a highly dubious red card though!

Ridiculous if true

Kylian Mbappe is on the brink of signing a two-year contract extension with Paris St-Germain worth £42.5m a year, plus an £85m signing-on fee for the 23-year-old France forward. (Le Parisien - in French, subscription required)

Shows what his ambitions are.

Sarr and Kouyate backing him as well. Against their Muslim beliefs apparently? I’d have thought they’d be all on board with the anti discriminatory nature of the idea?
