PSG’s perfect start to Ligue 1 campaign ends at Monpellier without Neymar

Paris Saint-Germain lost their perfect start to the Ligue 1 season, as they were held to a goalless draw at Montpellier on Saturday.

It was the first game PSG played this season without world’s most expensive player, Neymar.

The Brazilian was left out of the squad, to recover fully from a toe problem, ahead of next week’s Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

In his absence, PSG lacked inspiration in attack against a stubborn Montpellier side, playing in a 5-4-1 formation.

Kylian Mbappe had their best chances, but the 18-year-old was profligate in front of goal, as Unai Emery’s men could only extend their lead at the top of the table over reigning champions Monaco by one point.
