# Paris Saint-Germain Defeat Clermont with Mbappe's Double and Assist in Ligue 1 Round 1
**Paris Saint-Germain kicked off their Ligue 1 campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Clermont on Saturday, showcasing their attacking prowess and dominance in the opening match of the season.** The match, held at the Parc des Princes, was a clinical display from the defending champions, who controlled the game from the start and never looked back.
**Kylian Mbappe was the star of the show, netting a brace and setting up another goal as Paris Saint-Germain cruised to victory.** The French striker opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a well-taken goal, capitalizing on a defensive error by Clermont. Mbappe then doubled his tally just before halftime, finishing a lightning-quick counter-attack with a powerful strike. His second goal, which came in the 50th minute, put Paris Saint-Germain firmly in control.
**Mbappe’s assist came in the 63rd minute when he teed up fellow forward Christopher Nkunku, who slotted home to make it 3-0.** The 23-year-old’s all-around performance, including his work rate and link play, was a key factor in the team’s victory.
**Clermont, despite their best efforts, struggled to create chances against a well-organized Paris Saint-Germain defense.** The visitors, who earned promotion last season, showed moments of promise but were ultimately outclassed by a more experienced and decisive opponent.
**The win extends Paris Saint-Germain’s unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to 11 matches, dating back to last season.** With Mbappe leading the charge, the capital club looks poised to mount another title challenge.
**Reacting to the victory, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier praised Mbappe’s contribution and the team’s overall performance.** “Kylian was exceptional tonight,” Galtier said. “His goals and assist show his quality, and the team played well together. It’s a good start to the season.”
As Paris Saint-Germain prepare for their next fixture against Nîmes Olympique, fans will be eagerly anticipating more displays like this from their star striker and the rest of the squad.
**This victory was not just about Mbappe, though. The entire team worked hard, and the defensive solidity was key to keeping Clermont at bay.** With a mix of experienced stars and rising talents, Paris Saint-Germain are once again looking like serious contenders in France’s top-flight.
In a match that highlighted their attacking intent and organizational ability, Paris Saint-Germain sent a strong message to their rivals: the quest for glory continues.
