It was a move that we worked on, we found footage from different leagues - Christophe Galtier

PSG have maintained their winning streak in the current season of Ligue 1 as they have won all three matches out of all the three matches they played so far. They have now secured two points more than Marseille and Lens in the points table.
Senior Argentine winger Lionel Messi also opened his account for PSG in this match against Lille. He scored a goal in the 27th minute of the match just before the one from Achraf Hakimi till the half-time announcement.
Christophe Galtier, coach of PSG, also talked about the performance of the team after the match. He also opened up on the fastest goal from Mbappe.
“The goal after 8 seconds? It was a move that we worked on, we found footage from different leagues, and even from our youth team in the Youth League who managed to score that kick-off against Salzburg last season. We talked about it yesterday, we saw the footage, we practiced it in training, obviously when it succeeds like that after 8 seconds, it's very satisfying,” said Galtier in his statement.
