PSG Joins Barcelona, Inter Milan in Impressive First Half Statistic This Season
Paris Saint-Germain recently hit a rough patch in their goal-scoring ways, having only scored one goal in three matches against FC Nantes, Bayern Munich, and AJ Auxerre. However, in their last three games, the Parisians have found their scoring boots.
In the contests against RB Salzburg, Olympique Lyonnais, and AS Monaco, Luis Enrique and his team have scored three or more goals in each game. Furthermore, these performances have all resulted in wins for the Ligue 1 leaders.
PSG are among Europe’s best in first half scoring
Another interesting anecdote from these three victories is that PSG scored four first half goals. These goals add to the tally that put the French giants among Europe’s best in this category.
OptaJose spotlighted that PSG are third in Europe’s top five leagues for the most goals scored in the first half of their matches this season (21).
The capital club are tied with Inter Milan (21) and ahead of Bayern Munich (20) in this impressive category. The only two clubs ahead of the French side are Barcelona (23) and Bayer Leverkusen (22).
