Even Kylian Mbappé could not prevent the PSG bankruptcy

Without world champion Lionel Messi (special leave) and the suspended Brazilian Neymar, France’s soccer champions Paris Saint-Germain suffered their first defeat of the season in Ligue 1.

In direct pursuit RC Lens, the still prominent ensemble around World Cup top scorer Kylian Mbappé lost 1: 3 (1: 2).

20-year-old striker Hugo Ekitike (8′) scored the only goal for PSG, who after 17 games are just four points clear of the Red and Yellows, who won their only French championship in 1997/98.

Przemyslaw Frankowski (5th), Lois Openda (28th) and Alexis Claude-Maurice (48th) scored the goals for the underdog from the north.
