During their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, PSG lost Nordi Mukiele to a hamstring injury and Marquinhos to a rib injury. Both are expected to stay out of the pitch against Brest. Renato Sanches was kept as a substitute for the match against Bayern, but he was not used after he came back from a month-long hamstring injury recovery. Hence, his fate in this match is still uncertain. Neymar has been out and will stay away until he recovers from the surgery that will be happening on his leg in Doha. Presnel Kimpembe has joined the list with Neymar as he will be out for the rest of the season with an Achilles tendon injury.

The first half was rather evenly matched, and the final result fairly represents what happened on the field. PSG appeared to have a better chance of scoring, but Brest hung on and was capable of causing trouble in the next phase. On the scoreboard are Carlos Soler and Franck Honorat.
Del Castillo sends a long pass over the top, where it is intercepted by the cunning Franck Honorat, who makes a darting run past two defenders before firing a shot beyond PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma. When the Brest goalie concedes an easy rebound on a Kylian Mbappe long-range rocket, Carlos Soler fires a devastating follow-up shot. Soler tracked that Mbappe shot all the way, arriving just in time to score on the rebound.

Although PSG was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Kylian Mbappe once more came to their rescue with a 90th-minute goal that earned the defending French champions a 2-1 victory at relegation-threatened Brest in the opening game. Mbappe, the joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 after kicking out twice at a Brest player minutes earlier, was fortunate to still be on the field, but the officials decided to give him a yellow card instead of recommending a video review.
Based on the balance of play in the game, Brest may have earned the draw after going toe-to-toe with a more talented team and trading goals in the first half. But, after just two passes and a brilliant PSG counterattack, Mbappe was charging hard at the Brest goalie. He effortlessly got around the goalkeeper to score.
With Marseille in second place playing on Sunday, the three points allowed PSG to increase their lead at the top of the standings to 11 points. The Ligue 1 season of PSG has 11 games left as they pursue their 11th league championship, the only major prize still up for grabs for the star-studded team.
