Psg-Auxerre 5-0: goals from Mbappé, Soler, Hakimi, Sanches and Ekitike

Verratti promoted to captain in the absence of Marquinhos. Mbappé scored, but also Soler, Hakimi, Sanches and Ekitike

PSG says goodbye to Ligue 1 with another goal, three more points, maintaining unbeaten in the league and avoiding pre-World Cup injury dramas. Against Auxerre the usual Mbappé scored, but also Soler, Hakimi, Sanches and Ekitike. Also on the field Messi and Neymar, but in a zero-risk version. Worth noting is Verratti promoted to captain in the absence of Marquinhos, and waiting to formalize the renewal until 2026.

BENEFIT

If the goal was also, or rather, above all, that of not risking physical ailments, then the PSG fully hits it. Galtier’s team took possession of the game, but to impose a slow pace to the game, making Auxerre chase the ball and reducing dangerous situations. Thus 11 minutes are enough for PSG to get safe with an advantage to administer: Messi invents a slope for Mendes which on the left acts as a bank for Mbappé. The Frenchman thanks him and on the fly from the plate turns into goal. A network that in fact dictates the leadership of a match that Messi faces with slow rhythms, avoiding any possible conflict.

OTHER GOALS

Mbappé does the same, managing his accelerations sparingly. The only one to suffer some hard entry is Neymar, but the Brazilian gets up unscathed every time. For Auxerre, in any case, all that remains is to hope for some lost ball or error by the Parisians and in the end only one real shot on goal ends on the notebook, in the 17 ‘signed by the former Rossonero Niang, but to close the door is the another former Rossonero Donnarumma, careful at the near post. At 6 ‘of the second half, the PSG doubles. The seal is from Soler, with a header, but Mendes does everything who enters on the left, dribbles three opponents and serves the cross for the Spaniard. And the set 6 ‘later is by Hakimi, on the counterattack triggered by Soler. For Messi, thrown deep by Neymar, only a pole (21 ‘). At 36 ‘, the 4-0, by Sanches, in two halves and support from Ekitike. Who then closes the score in the 39th minute by blowing the ball to Jeanvier and shooting behind Costil.
