Galtier reacts to Messi, Neymar and Mbappe’s performances in PSG’s Ligue 1 win vs Toulouse

Rapidly overturning a sluggish showing in their recent Ligue 1 home fixture against AS Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain were right back on track with a convincing 3-0 away win over Toulouse on matchday five.

PSG forwards Kylian Mbappe and Neymar both got on the scoresheet, with Lionel Messi chipping in with masterful assists. After the match, PSG manager Christophe Galtier, via L’Equipe, reacted to the showing from the side’s superstar trio.

“We can only be satisfied,” Galtier said.

“Leo made two wonderful passes. Max (Dupe) also made some great saves. There are a lot of relationships between them. Also with Marco Verratti, Vitinha. It’s also because our midfielders get the ball out well. What we did not do against Monaco.

“We have quality players, it is necessary that this technical relationship exists in the heart of the game.”

As it stands, Neymar ranks at first in Ligue 1 in goal contributions with 13, while Messi sits behind him on this leaderboard with seven.

For now, PSG is set to turn its attention to an upcoming away league fixture against Nantes.
