PSG starts season with 2-1 win at Troyes

SMA NEWS – PARIS

Paris St-Germain recovered from a goal down to open their Ligue 1 campaign with victory at newly-promoted Troyes.

PSG, who are in talks with Lionel Messi following his departure from Barcelona, fell behind early after Oualid El Hajjam’s header.

But goals from Achraf Hakimi and Mauro Icardi ensured Mauricio Pochettino’s side led at half-time.

PSG are looking to reclaim the title after finishing second to Lille last season.

Former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum also featured in the win, but fellow summer signings Gianluigi Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos were absent.
