Spotlight on PSG - 21 August 2021 Edition

-
Paris St. Germain made it three in a row to start the season with a 4-2 thrashing of Brest on Friday night. After having his first goal of the season re-scored as an own goal against Strasbourg, Kylian Mbappé again got on the score sheet, as did Idrissa Gueye, Ángel Di María and Ander Herrera.
