Stats & Facts: The victory over Strasbourg
Discover the key figures and highlights from Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-2 victory over Strasbourg on Saturday 19 October 2024, during Matchday 8 of Ligue 1.
The PARC, a cursed venue for LES STRASBOURGEOIS
Once again victorious against Racing this Saturday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain have not lost any of their last 34 home games against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 (27 wins, 7 draws), setting the record for the most home matches against a single opponent without a defeat in the history of the top flight. Even better, the club from the capital have never been beaten by RCSA in any competition at the Porte d’Auteuil stadium (30 wins, 8 draws).
João NEVES, exceptional playmaker
With his assist for the fourth and final Parisian goal of the night, João Neves recorded his 6th assist of the Ligue 1 season, double that of any other player in the league. Among the top 5 European leagues, only Bukayo Saka (Arsenal FC) has done better in this area, with 7 assists.
An attack that shines…
Scoring four more goals against Strasbourg, Paris Saint-Germain have now netted 25 goals in 8 Ligue 1 matches this season. This is the 4th time a team has reached or surpassed this total in the 21st century, following… Paris themselves in 2017-2018 (27), 2018-2019 (27) and 2022-2023 (26). Additionally, the club from the capital have now scored in 18 consecutive matches in the top flight.
… and individual stars
By helping the Rouge et Bleu open the scoring this Saturday, Senny Mayulu netted his first Ligue 1 goal in his 13th appearance in the competition. This goal is far from insignificant, as Paris Saint-Germain are now the only team in the top 5 European leagues this season to have two scorers born in 2006 or later (Warren Zaïre-Emery and Senny Mayulu).
Also on the scoresheet against Strasbourg, Marco Asensio has now been involved in 4 goals in his last 5 league matches (2 goals, 2 assists). As for Lee Kang-In, who scored Paris’ final goal, the South Korean international netted his 4th goal in 8 Ligue 1 matches this season, achieving an impressive ratio of one goal every two games.
Finally, Bradley Barcola also shone in attack. Particularly active on the left flank, the Paris winger scored the third goal for his side, but also picking up the first assist of the season as he found Senny Mayulu. The France international has now become the player to have been directly involved in the most goals this season in the top flight (7 goals, 1 assist).
