In front of a full Park and in a rediscovered atmosphere, after the heavy silence at the end of last season, Paris-SG took time to approach the cage of Omlin, a big man from the first period.

If he was very happy to see Neymar miss success twice, including a face-to-face (17th, 20th), the Swiss goalkeeper multiplied the prowess, here on a penalty executed by Mbappé (23rd), there on a master free kick from Messi (25th) or a strike from the Argentinian at the entrance to the area (29th).

Boiling.

There was hardly more than a twist of fate to bring him down.

It was not far with this first unfortunate deviation from Sacko (29th).

The second, on a shot from Mbappé, went to the bottom (1-0, 39th).

Omlin wasn't done.

On a totally crazy sequence, the Swiss

Then Neymar, not to mention a strike from Messi blocked by the defense.

End of action?

Penalty!

A face from… Sacko.

This time, the Montpellier goalkeeper could not do anything against "

Ney

" (2-0, 43rd).

Logical advantage in view of the Parisian domination.

Paris which left nothing offensively at the MHSC, nothing at all (2-0 MT).

The Parisian sitting in the Hérault half of the field continued and what had to happen happened, with Neymar who was ahead of Omlin with a header, as a rogue, after a cross from Hakimi (3-0, 52nd).

Total control.

Technical unemployment for Donnarumma.

At least until this strike from Wahi pushed back by the Italian goalkeeper… at the feet of Kahzri, who did not ask for so much (3-1, 57th).

Innocent action, first opportunity and goal for the MHSC, which however did not overturn the table.

Especially since Mbappé, in lack of success until then on the momentum of his missed penalty, was ahead of Sainte-Luce on a corner (4-1, 69th).

Omlin was still doing wonders (72nd, 80th) but he had to lose a fifth time.

Not for Neymar's third goal, canceled for an offside position (85th), but for Renato Sanches' first,

who was taking his first steps in Rouge et Bleu, three minutes after entering (5-1, 88th).

Game, set and match (5-1 final score).

The Parc des Princes gave a deserved ovation to “

Ney

"for his exit, but also to the former titi Mamadou Sakho, entered in the 78th minute, he who left Paris in 2013.

Note that this is the third victory in an official match this season for Galtier's men, after Nantes in the Champions Trophy (4-0) and Clermont, last week, in L1 (5-0).

On the other hand, it is the first defeat for the players of Olivier Dall'Oglio, who fell for Troyes on the first day (3-2).

Next Sunday at 3 p.m., they will find La Mosson against a promoted, Auxerre, a few hours before the poster of this third lifting, a match between the last two champions of France, Lille-PSG (8:45 p.m.).

Emotion in sight for Christophe Galtier…
