PSG went berserk, beating Lyon in the first half with a score of 0-4. Playing away doesn't make PSG weak, because in reality Lyon can't do much to stop PSG movement. It's really unfortunate, because basically Lyon is also in a bad performance at this moment because they have played three matches but Lyon didn't get a win at all. Therefore, it would not be strange if PSG were able to beat Lyon in this match, because basically PSG is the one who has improved their performance in every match, and then against Lyon which is in a slump. So of course, PSG can take advantage of the bad conditions experienced by Lyon to win big in this away match.

They beat Lyon after a first half with two goals from Mbappe including a very early goal to open the match. Lyon only managed to get one goal in the second half that is not enough for them to come back and get a point from PSG.

This big win again shows the importance of Mbappe with PSG and how PSG depends on Mbappe to find goals. Asensio scored one goal for PSG too and he will be a promising player for them in this season by his readiness to cooperate very well with other team-mates as well as don't refuse to play proactively defensive when required by a coach.

PSG players began to adapt to the philosophy used by Luis Enrique, they began to play short passes and control the game by dominating possession of the ball. Lyon is not a difficult opponent to beat, especially with a big score when viewed from the results achieved since the new season started. PSG development began to be seen in this match than in the previous match, players began to understand each other and this was very good for PSG development under the management of Luis Enrique.

It is a big win for PSG and impressive actually but Lyon in 2023 is no longer a giant in Ligue 1 like years ago, before they lost their domination in Ligue 1 and has never came closely to get that domination back.

Luis Enrique gradually shows his impact in PSG that surely gives hope for PSG board members and fans that he will help PSG playing better in Champions League in this transitional season. Some biggest star players left the club but they got an experienced coach and some new players to change their club philosophy from transfer market to tactic operations.

Sacking old stars like Messi Neymar Ramos and bringing in young stars like Asensio, Dembele and Kolo Muani is the right move for PSG. PSG's biggest deficiency, especially last season, was not being a team in the first place. That is, there was a team without spirit and ambition. Messi may have been old, but he had a tremendous contribution of 4 goals and 4 assists in the Ucl and 16 goals and 16 assists in the league. Mbappe scored a lot despite what he missed. Neymar was putting on a show until he got injured but that injury ended his season and he is still injured. Also the lack of depth in the squad is a factor. They were stupid to send T.Silva away and buy Ramos at the time. Silva was fighting for this team but Ramos didn't have the same desire and ambition. In conclusion, PSG seems to have made good choices and thing are looking bright.
