PSG Vs. FC Girondins Bordeaux
Goal

Wow. What a victory for Paris Saint Germain. Unfortunately, their 100 percent win record in Ligue 1 was stopped by Montpellier on September 23. That, although, did not stop PSG from outstanding performances after that game because of the inclusion of Neymar in the team. The reason why Neymar did not take part in PSG's game at Montpellier is because of an alleged "rift" between Edinson Cavani and Neymar. Thankfully, these rumors were dispelled after the team's routine win against Bordeaux. Every since the addition of 18-year-old sensation Kylian Mbappe-Lotin and Neymar Jr., PSG's statistics have been the best in the club's history, especially in the win on Saturday, September 30. The superstar team, thanks to the help of Cavani, Neymar, and Mbappe, won 6-2 over FC Girondins Bordeaux. After this game, it was observed that the top three strikers developed a very healthy relationship with each other by setting up goals for each other and supporting one another if they missed the target. Here are in-depth statistics over Saturday's game.

First Half Defense Breach

Paris completely devastated Bordeaux in the first half of the game by scoring 5 goals. This statistic is "a new Club record, and have 27 league strikes, another Club record and the best since Saint-Etienne in 1969-1970 (27)." During this game, PSG made playmaking look easy as they passed through Bordeaux's defense like a needle pulling thread. Although Bordeaux scored two goals, they still did not have their midfielders and defensive men locked down on these lethal, dangerous strikers most of the time.

The Creative, Lethal Mind of Neymar Jr.

Neymar is, as described by many, the "heir to Lionel Messi's throne" because of his God-like ability to go through defensive players. During his time at FC Barcelona, he was caught in Messi's shadow and could never show himself fully, therefore moving to PSG gave him the breakthrough he needed. During this game however, he outshone the entire team with his amazing skills. "Neymar scored and provided an assist for the fourth time in Ligue 1 this season, more than any other player in Europe's top five leagues. He has been involved in 11 league goals (6 goals, 5 assists). His five assists are a Ligue 1-high."

Unbeaten, by a large margin

It is common for top tier teams to go unbeaten at the beginning of the season, or in that case the whole season. Paris however stand out from the crowd of undefeated teams because "[they] are the only Ligue 1 side still unbeaten this season, a feat they have achieved in each of the last six seasons barring 2016-17, when they had lost twice at this stage of the campaign. The Rouge et Bleu are now unbeaten in their last 28 home games (22 wins, 6 draws)." This smashing record screams "Better than you!" because it calls out teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and others and tells them that PSG are the top team of this era of futbol.

Edinson Cavani the Cruising Striker

Yes, Paris fans, we all know that Cavani is a striker that scores in almost all his games, and we hear that loud and clear. That is also heard loud and clear this game as well when Cavani scored once again. Alright PSG fans, you can stop bragging about it now! "Edinson Cavani has been involved in 21 goals in his last 16 league games (16 goals, 5 assists). The Uruguay international has scored seven of Paris' last 14 goals against Bordeaux in Ligue 1." This man is clearly setting the standards for this teammates and opponents around him. He scored an astonishing 52 goals for club and country last campaign (16-17).


Paris Saint Germain are an amazing team with qualities like no other team in Futbol. It is just a matter of time before the team starts smashing even more records and destroying even more teams. PSG is taking "the beautiful game" to new heights.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
