October 7, 2018: Paris Saint-Germain receives Olympique Lyonnais on the 9th day of Ligue 1. The Parisians line up an offensive quartet composed of Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappé and Cavani. Thomas Tuchel's players quickly led the way after Neymar's penalty goal (9th). But in the 32nd minute, Presnel Kimpembe was expelled. However, the Lyonnais do not stay very long in numerical superiority since Lucas Tousart receives a second yellow card just before the break.
Back from the locker room, Kylian Mbappé is more enterprising. At 10 against 10, the two formations leave more space. A boon for the French international, placed at the forefront after the release of Edinson Cavani. The 2018 World Champion takes advantage of a breakthrough from Neymar and a poor Lyon clearance to register the goal of the break with a strike from the left foot which returns with the help of the two posts (61st). Five minutes later, following a high recovery, Marquinhos finds Mbappé behind within six meters who only has to push the ball to make the mark worse (66th).
Kylian Mbappé's quadruple against Lyon in 2018-2019
The Lyonnais of Bruno Génésio sink even more. In the process, Neymar begins a counter and serves his teammate in depth. The acceleration of the French striker leaves the Rhône defenders on the spot. The center-forward of PSG is alone against Lopes and wins his duel with the Lyon goalkeeper (69th). Already the author of a hat-trick, the player trained by AS Monaco is not satisfied. After a shot from Neymar pushed back, he inherits the ball and hits hard on the ground to score his fourth goal of the evening. A quadruple registered in just 13 minutes!
