Stats & facts: A look back at the win over Lens
In the wake of Paris Saint-Germain's 3-1 victory over RC Lens at the Parc des Princes on Saturday 26 August, here are the key facts and figures from Ligue 1 Round 3 clash.
PARIS IN CONTROL
Luis Enrique's side once again took control of the game on Saturday; against Lens, Les Rouge et Bleu had 66.4% of the ball. As a result, Paris now boast an average of 73.7% possession in their three matches in Ligue 1 this season (78.0% against Lorient and 76.3% against Toulouse), 12.8% more than last season (60.9%). Always on the ball, the Parisians are making an average of 168 more passes per game this season than last (834 compared to 666).
ZAIRE-EMERY: A NEW RECORD FOR A YOUNG MAN IN A HURRY
The love affair between the Parisien young gun and records continues. Just a year ago, he became the youngest player in the capital club's history to play in an official match when he came on against Clermont. A few weeks later, he became the youngest player in the club's history to play in a Champions League match, when he came on against Maccabi Haifa.
Then, in January, he became the youngest player in the history of Paris Saint-Germain to start a Ligue 1 match, this time against Stade Rennais FC. On Saturday, when Warren Zaïre-Emery set up the opening goal for Paris against the Sang et Or, he became the youngest ever assist provider for Paris in Ligue 1 since Opta began analysing the competition. It was enough to earn him a standing ovation from the Parc des Princes when he left the pitch.
MBAPPÉ GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
Kylian Mbappé scored twice against Franck Haise's side on Saturday, his 150th and 151st goals in Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain. The French striker, who has held the record for the most league goals scored for Paris since April, took advantage of Saturday's clash to further consolidate his status by crossing this symbolic milestone.
Les Rouge et Bleu's No.7 has now been involved in no fewer than 200 league goals since joining the capital club (151 goals, 49 assists). What's more, Kylian Mbappé has scored 215 goals and provided 86 assists for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions. With these figures, he has now been involved in more than 300 goals for Paris (301), making him an even bigger part of the club's history.
