Paris Saint-Germain maintained their flawless start to the Ligue 1 campaign, securing a fourth consecutive victory with a 2-0 win over Lens at the Parc des Princes on Sunday. Bradley Barcola was the star of the evening, scoring both goals to send Luis Enrique's side top of the table with 12 points from four matches—two clear of second-placed Lille. Lens, meanwhile, remain in mid-table, sitting eighth with six points from the same number of games. The breakthrough came early in the 15th minute when Barcola latched onto a precise pass from Vitinha and slotted home to give PSG the lead. The French forward struck again in the 51st minute, doubling the advantage with a crisp finish from just outside the penalty area, once more assisted by Vitinha's creative vision. Head coach Luis Enrique made several changes to his lineup with one eye on Wednesday's Champions League opener against Atalanta. Nuno Mendes, João Neves, and Fabián Ruiz, who all started against Toulouse last week, were rested, while Lucas Hernández, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Kang-in Lee were handed starts. PSG were also without Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué due to injuries, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Gonçalo Ramos stepping in to lead the attack. With momentum building domestically, Enrique will now turn his focus toward Europe, where PSG look to translate their domestic dominance into continental success.
