Discover the key figures and facts from the Matchday 4 encounter between Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Brestois 29.
After defeating Le Havre (1-4), Montpellier (6-0) and Lille (1-3), it was Brest’s turn (3-1) to fall under the dominance of the Rouge et Bleu. Against the Breton side, Paris Saint-Germain secured their 4th win in as many Ligue 1 matches this season. The club from the capital also recorded their 6th consecutive victory in the top flight and their 7th straight win across all competitions.
Les Parisiens excel against the Pirates, and they proved it once again this Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes. On home turf, Paris haven't lost to Brest in the league since 12 September 1981, more than 43 years ago. The club from the capital has only suffered one defeat in 18 home matches against the Finistère side in Ligue 1. Les Parisiens are now unbeaten in their last 26 encounters against Brest in the top flight (18 wins, 8 draws), marking the second-longest active unbeaten streak of one club against another in Ligue 1, second only to... Paris against Angers.
Delivering another stellar performance this Saturday evening, Ousmane Dembélé scored his second brace in Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain, following his previous one against FC Lorient last season (1-4). Dominating the right wing, the winger touched the ball 12 times inside the opponent’s box during the match, the highest total of the game. The French international fired 7 shots against Brest (5 on target), the highest tally for any player in Ligue 1 this season. Additionally, the No. 10 has scored 3 of his last 4 goals for Paris... with his head.
While Ousmane Dembélé shone again against Brest, it was the entire offensive arsenal of the club from the capital that made an impact once more this season. Marco Asensio, in particular, stood out with an assist for Les Parisiens' first goal of the evening and has now been involved in at least one goal in each of his last three Ligue 1 matches (1 goal, 2 assists). The Spanish forward continues to be a key contributor, showcasing his vision and playmaking ability in Paris' attacking setup.
This offensive prowess has allowed Paris Saint-Germain to accumulate an impressive 16 goals in just 4 matches this season, averaging 4 goals per game—a record in the top flight. More inspired than ever in attack, they have found the back of the net in each of their last 14 Ligue 1 matches.
