A strong away win for Paris Saint Germain against Lille the last match, as Neymar (2), Mbappé, Messi and Hakimi were on target. As mentioned above, PSG "killed" Lille in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Donnarumma loved the game against Lille. With a stunning eight saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 7-1 victory.
