A winning start against Juve and Galtier's report card will be looking pretty positive heading towards the international break later this month. Juve this coming Tuesday will arguably be the acid test of this encouraging early season at Parc des Princes and Les Parisiens do seem better prepared than they have done for quite some time. Vitinha's injury is not good news, but the late transfer window arrivals of Fabian Ruiz from Napoli and Carlos Soler from Valencia gives Galtier a wider range of alternatives than just Renato Sanches. It took until nine minutes into the second half for the combination to work again with Messi patient in providing a simple finish for the No. PSG switched things up with Neymar and Sergio Ramos taking a breather and starting from the bench in Nantes, but it did not slow Mbappe down and the French superstar was clinical inside of 18 minutes.
