Key Focus of Ligue 1 Round 1: Paris Saint-Germain scores five goals, Mbappé scores twice and provides an assist against Clermont.

The first round of the French Ligue 1 season kicked off with a bang as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) scored five goals in their match against Clermont Foot.

The game started with PSG taking control early on, scoring three goals within the first 25 minutes to establish a commanding lead. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe were at the forefront of this attack, both contributing to the team's dominance from the start.

Mbappe, who was named Ligue 1 Player of the Month for December, continued his impressive form by scoring twice more before half-time. His second goal came in the 44th minute after a brilliant individual performance that saw him dribble past several defenders before slotting home from close range.

As the game progressed, PSG continued to dominate, but it was the home side who finally got on the score sheet in the 86th minute through a penalty kick awarded to them for a foul on Angel Di Maria.

Despite the late equalizer, PSG maintained their two-goal advantage throughout the remainder of the match, securing all three points and setting themselves up well for the rest of the season.

This victory marks another important milestone for PSG, who have now won their opening game of the season for the fifth consecutive year. The team will be looking to continue their winning streak as they face off against Montpellier HSC next week.
