Luis Enrique's side doesn't have superstars like they used to, but they do love to score goals (4-2)
Paris Saint-Germain have successfully continued their title defence as they topped Strasbourg at Parc des Princes 4-2 on Saturday night.
Luis Enrique's boys dominated the game as they kept the ball to themselves, finding lots of spaces on the flanks.

Although without a genuine striker following Mbappe's exit, the Saints are demonstrating a hazardous, attacking style of football. And do deserve to see benefits from it.
Young Mayulu opened the scoring for the title defenders in the first half, while experienced Marco Asensio doubled the lead shortly after the break.
The visitors managed to peg one back through Mara, before Bradley Barcola killed the game around the 65th-minute mark with a lovely solo effort.

After a brilliant team action, Kang Lee made it 4-1 at the start of the added time, but Strasbourg showed persistence once more. Diongu scored thanks to a tap-in on the back post, but that was all they could do before the final whistle.
