The Spain World Cup winner is only the third PSG player to net a debut brace, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2012 and Patrick Mboma in 1994. Renato Sanches was the last Parisian to score on debut in 2022.

Rennes forward Esteban Lepaul has 31 Ligue 1 goals since his 2024-2025 debut, level with Ousmane Dembélé for second in that span, behind Mason Greenwood on 37.

After Lyon’s 2-0 win at Toulouse, Corentin Tolisso has been involved in 13 goals in his last 14 Ligue 1 matches. Since 25 January 2026, only Bruno Fernandes has more among midfielders with 16.

Lille’s 2-0 victory at Angers extended an unbeaten run in Ligue 1 season openers to 10, the longest active streak since a 3-2 loss at Metz in 2016.

Olivier Giroud, 40 on 30 September, has scored in 16 different seasons in the big five leagues. Only Luka Modric, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Danny Welbeck have more.

Nice’s 0-0 with Lorient left them with only two wins in 19 Ligue 1 matches in 2026, the fewest among top-flight sides. Troyes’ 0-0 with Paris FC made it 18 home league games without a win, a record.
