Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) swept aside Clermont 6-1 in Ligue 1 on Sunday (10th). In this fierce battle, PSG's two superstars, Nima and Kilian McBarbee, scored a total of six goals in a "hat-trick", while another soccer talent, Mace, contributed three assists, becoming the first player in Ligue 1 in the past 10 years to achieve two "hat-tricks of assists" in a single season. "MNM's offensive firepower is amazing.
Just 19 minutes into the game, Nima and McBarbee each scored a goal, both from precise passes from Mace. Although Clermont pulled a goal back before the end of the first half from Dosso, the second half fell completely to PSG. Kilian McBarbee managed to get a 12-yard penalty, which Niema took, and the Brazilian international returned the favor by passing the ball to McBarbee, who had a one-touch chance to extend the lead to 4-1.
In the last 10 minutes of the match, PSG didn't let up, and with another fine assist from Mace, McBarbee scored a wonderful goal to complete his "hat-trick". Then, McBarbee passed to Nima, who scored easily with an empty net to complete his "hat trick". This is the first time in the last three years in Ligue 1 that two players have scored three goals each in the same game. The last time this happened was in January 2019, when McBarbee and Kayouni jointly completed a "hat-trick" in PSG's match against Gambon, helping the team to a 9-0 victory over their rivals.
