Neymar was booked twice in as many minutes, the second for a dive in the Strasbourg box. The 30-year-old Brazilian international threw himself to the ground despite no contact from the defender, as he had done earlier in the match. With Messi yet to return from celebrating his World Cup victory in Argentina, Mbappé converted the penalty himself to move PSG eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1. The 24-year-old stepped up to score the winner from the penalty spot in the 96th minute, with virtually the last kick of the game. With hopes of a win fading, Mbappé used his speed and movement to get in behind the Strasbourg defense before being clumsily brought down from behind.

Reports state that Neymar left the Parc des Princes early after being given a red card as Paris Saint-Germain left it late to beat Strasbourg.

He endured a frustrating return to action in France, being kicked around the field as usual as Strasbourg defenders struggled to cope with his dribbling skills, but almost costing his team victory as a result of losing his temper.

But there was to be one last twist as Mbappe again charged into the box and went down. Marquinhos pounced on the loose ball to score, but the referee had already blown for a penalty, leaving Mbappe to seal the deal. Marquinhos put the hosts ahead on 14 minutes with a bullet header from a Neymar free-kick, and it seemed PSG would go on to an easy victory thereafter.

Kylian Mbappé scored a stoppage-time penalty winner after Neymar had been sent off to give Paris Saint-Germain a 2-1 win over Strasbourg.

It was Neymar’s fifth red card since joining PSG for a world record fee of €222m ($236m) in 2017, and he will be suspended for Sunday’s game at second-place Lens. Teenage talent Salim Ben Seghir scored twice – including an 85th minute winner – in Monaco’s 3-2 win at Auxerre. Marquinhos opened the scoring by breaking free from his marker and heading in Neymar’s cross after 14 minutes.

Paris Saint-Germain have announced a contract extension for midfielder Marco Verratti until 2026 with a timelapse of his decade with the club.

PSG are expected to run away with the Ligue 1 title, but Verratti will also want to secure his first Champions League trophy with the club. I hope to win many more trophies in the Rouge & Bleu shirt.” "I arrived in Paris more than 10 years ago, in this city that I consider my second home.

Ben Seghir grew up in Saint Tropez but is of Moroccan origin and has yet to decide who he will represent internationally though he has turned out for the France under-18s. Neymar picked up a yellow for a petulant flick in the face of a Strasbourg player and then earned another for a blatant dive in the penalty area just after the hour. Mbappe was back in action 10 days after scoring a hat-trick in the final but then seeing the South Americans win in a penalty shootout.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti signed a two-year contract extension on Wednesday, tying him to the French champion until 2026.

It was obvious to me that my story would continue to be written here.” “It gives me great pride to extend my contract,” Verratti said. Only former defender Jean-Marc Pilorget has played more times for the club with 435 appearances.
