Stats & Facts: Troyes 1-2 Paris
Take a look back at all the major stats and facts from Paris Saint-Germain's 2-1 win away to Troyes on the opening day of the Ligue 1 season!
A NIGHT OF FIRSTS
Georgino Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi and Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe all played their first Ligue 1 matches for Paris Saint-Germain. Hakimi only needed 19 minutes to find the back of the net, becoming the seventh fastest goal-scoring signing after a certain Jay-Jay Okocha who scored just one minute and seven seconds into his career in Rouge et Bleu. He is the first Paris player to score on his Ligue 1 debut since Metehan Guclu netted against Nantes in 2019.
THE RUN CONTINUES
The club from the French capital has not lost any of its last nine away matches in Ligue 1 (8 wins, 1 draw) - it is the club's longest undefeated run away from home since going 17 matches without loss between February 2018 and January 2019. It is also the 17th official match without loss for Les Rouge et Bleu against ESTAC (15 wins and 2 draws). The last loss to Troyes dates back to 4 November 2001 (0-1, in Troyes).
WINNING RETURN
A first win of the season for Paris! After losing the opening game last year, 1-0 to Lens, Paris are back to winning ways and have now won six of their last seven Matchday 1 games in the league. Kylian Mbappé provided an assist for Mauro Icardi in his first appearance of the 2021-22 campaign. The France attacker has provided seven assists on the 20 Ligue 1 goals scored by the Argentine - that's five more than any other player for the Paris No.9.
