    You can't help but feel that the scoreline might be much wider if Lionel Messi was playing this evening. They seem to be lacking the end product in the final third.

    Strasbourg look like they might nick something here if PSG aren't careful. A well-timed Jean-Ricner Bellegarde cross meets Ludovic Ajorque's head in the box but he can't direct his effort on goal.

    Neymar's playing in a deeper role than maybe it might've been initially expected and it's working, providing the link-up play for Mbappe and Hugo Ekitike up top.

    If there's been one consistent theme from Strasbourg so far it's been the fouls on Neymar. He's brought down once again by Adrien Thomasson.

    That's a big warning for the hosts.

    Kevin Gamerio has a fantastic chance for Strasbourg as he's threaded through in the six-yard box, but Donnarumma is there to block his effort.

    The hosts are dominant at the moment with Kylian Mbappe beginning to show what he can do. It's been very easy on the eye in the final third.

    Despite the hosts' early lead Strasbourg aren't looking like a team in the relegation places. They've got creativity of their own going forwards and are mostly solid in defence.

    These PSG games can have a habit of being a little bit of a slow burner to begin with but Marquinhos' goal has lit a spark in this one.

    Strasbourg are having to battle to get something out of this, but the hosts are coping with it easily.

    Marquinhos (PSG)

    From the free-kick which comes after the foul on Mbappe, Neymar swings the ball into the box and it's PSG captain Marquinhos who rises the highest inside the box to head home the opener.

    First corner of the game is taken by Neymar, yet it's not a glistening effort.

    Strasbourg easily clear it as it soars past the PSG players.
