PSG's whirlwind start to the 2018/19 season is driven by their prolific attacking triumvirate. Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani have all picked up from where they left off last time, combining to blow every team on their way.

Together, this frontline has scored 44 goals from PSG's 20 league games. And believe it or not, that's more than every other side in the French top flight!

No team in Ligue 1 has managed to strike 40 times so far, barring Les Parisians, of course. Strasbourg are the closest with 38. But it's mind-boggling when you consider that three players together have managed what 19 other teams in the league, haven't.

For the record, that is more than what even Europe's big guns like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea have scored, as a team in their respective leagues.

It is obviously a testament to each of their precocious talents, but it is also true when you say Ligue 1 isn't really competitive and the ever-widening gap in the table between PSG and the rest further corroborates the theory.
