Paris SG VS Lyon Football Live Score 19 September 2021

At long, long last, fans were treated to the triumvirate of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar all lining up from the first whistle for PSG against Club Brugge in their Champions League opener, but such a formidable frontline was nullified by the inspired Belgian outfit in midweek.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side did strike first in the 15th minute through Ander Herrera – a man thoroughly enjoying his football at the moment – but Brugge skipper Hans Vanaken saw his deflected effort rescue a point for his side as PSG’s momentum took an early hit.

Regarded as one of the favourites for the European crown this term, PSG’s opening-day draw with Brugge could lead to their Champions League-winning credentials being called into question again, but they have made the perfect start to the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season as they seek to dethrone Lille at the first time of asking.

Herrera was once again on target with a brace in last weekend’s 4-0 victory over Clermont – where Mbappe and Idrissa Gueye also made the net ripple – with that victory representing PSG’s fifth from five league games as they sit comfortably at the top of the standings.

A total of 16 goals scored – at an average of over three per game – unsurprisingly represents the best return in the league so far for PSG, who have also won their last five Ligue 1 home games on the spin – banking four goals in each of their last three at the Parc des Princes.
