Match facts: PSG vs Strasbourg - Ligue 1

Here are some important details to keep in mind ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 McDonald's match between PSG and Strasbourg.

The international break has come to an end, and on Saturday, October 19th, Paris Saint-Germain is back in action as they take on RC Strasbourg for Matchday 8 of the 2024/25 Ligue 1 McDonald's season.

Luis Enrique's squad is looking to boost their morale following a challenging 2-0 loss to Arsenal in their last UEFA Champions League match, along with a 1-1 draw against OGC Nice in the previous round of the French league.

Given this, the Parisian team must regain their form to compete with AS Monaco, the current leaders of the league.
