After smashing their most likely rivals for the Ligue 1 title, Lyon, 4-1 in the Trophee des Champions, on Saturday, PSG’s new manager, Unai Emery has said there is more to come from his team.
Javier Pastore scored the opening goal on nine minutes, while Lucas Moura and new signing; Ben Arfa added two more before the first half break.
Left back, Layvin Kurzawa added a fourth nine minutes into the second half before Corentin Tolisso got a consolation for Lyon.
“I’m happy with the win and the performance of the team, even if we can improve things,” Emery said in the post-match press conference.
“The team has worked hard physically throughout the pre-season and continued tonight.
“We played a tough game, Lyon had the ball possession, but we managed to take over.
“The championship will be difficult but I have confidence in the team to give the best.”
The former Sevilla manager later wrote on Twitter, “Glad to have accomplished the first goal of the season. We have a lot more ground to cover together.”
PSG are undoubted contenders for the Ligue 1 title, which would be a fifth consecutive title but it is in Europe that they would love to make their mark in the UEFA Champions League. The season starts at Bastia for the defending champions next Friday.
