When you have some of the brightest football players on your side you are going to end up winning games more often than not. That is what happened last Friday when PSG traveled to Corsica to face newly promoted Ajaccio in a Ligue 1 clash that the Parisians won by a 3-0 scoreline.

Kylian Mbappe (twice) and Lionel Messi were the ones carrying the weight by scoring the game’s goals in a match in which just a handful of genius moments were the deciding factor of the matchup falling Paris side.

This was always seen as a pretty unbalanced game with the leaders of Ligue 1 facing one of the worst teams in the French league to date, and that is what in fact turned out to be the case. While Ajaccio was able to contain Paris for the first 20 minutes, the Corsican side ended up surrendering a goal to Mbappe by the 24th minute of play.

Everything went pleasurably downhill from PSG from that moment on to the point the game might have truly ended with a 6-0 final result instead of the actual 3-0.

Here are three observations about the victory against Ajaccio in Ligue 1 this past Friday and what is ahead for PSG entering next week with the return of the Champions League and a clash with Maccabi Haifa for the Parisian next Tuesday.
