Paris Saint-Germain have been enjoying a good few days after thrashing last season’s Ligue 1 runners-up Olympique Lyonnais 5-1 in Le Championnat on Sunday and then disposing of OL’s Rhone-Alpes rivals AS Saint-Etienne 1-0 in the Coupe de la Ligue round of 16 on Wednesday.
Key in both of the French champions’ recent successes at Parc des Princes has been summer signing Angel Di Maria.
The Argentina international provided an impressive three assists for PSG in the mauling of Lyon, providing for Serge Aurier, Edinson Cavani and Lucas Moura before creating the only goal of the game against Saint-Etienne for the Uruguay international.
