A nightmare for Reims' back four, PSG winger Angel Di Maria made sure he exploited the right flank to the fullest. His dribbling skills left the opposition defenders twisting and turning cluelessly for most of the evening.

Striking venom in the 16th minute itself, Angel Di Maria slotted in a dangerous delivery with pinpoint accuracy to find the head of Kylian Mbappe, who converted effortlessly. The Argentine dominated the opposition during the early stages by leading the proceedings into the final third.

The former Real Madrid number 11 calmed down during the second half and maintained a balanced style of play before making way for Julien Draxler in the 81st minute.


#2 Achraf Hakimi

Linking up with Angel Di Maria on the right side of the turf, Achraf Hakimi wreaked havoc in Reims' final third. Even though he takes care of the defense from right back position, Hakimi also operated as an attacker in the match for PSG.

Taking charge of his team's high pressing, the Moroccan international put the home side under immense pressure.

With PSG's centre-backs Marquinhos and Thilo Kehrer holding the fort, Hakimi was able to milk every opportunity he got by running into the final third to try and aid his forwards. The former Real Madrid fullback crucially assisted Mbappe's second goal of the night.

Despite being a new arrival at PSG (also the only non-free transfer from this year), Hakimi looks well set already.


#1 Kylian Mbappe

The star of the evening undoubtedly has to be Kylian Mbappe. His brace helped PSG see the game through without breaking much sweat.

The French international had never scored a header for PSG ever since he signed for the Parisians in 2017. However, the 22-year-old has now scored 2 headers in the last two games.

Being in the right place at the right time helped the former Monaco forward fire past Rajkovic twice and steal the limelight with his fine performance on the night.

PSG are favorites to grab the Ligue 1 trophy this time after losing out to Lille last season. With the firepower that they possess, the Parisians are also favorites to win the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.

Latest arrivals Lionel Messi and Georginio Wijnaldum have made their debuts for PSG. The world is now eagerly awaiting the much-anticipated debuts of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos introduction.
