“Playing with footballers like this is fantastic. I get on with everybody and I can score goals.”

When speaking about the match, Icardi said: “We knew it was an important match for the fans. We started really strong. We would have liked to finish stronger but we are happy with this result. Personally, I am happy with the two goals.”

Icardi spoke with media after scoring the first two goals of the match in the 10th and 26th minutes with the other two coming from Kylian Mbappe in the 32nd and 44th minutes.

After Icardi’s success in the French club, local media report PSG are interested in making the move to Paris permanent.

The striker has netted seven goals in seven matches for the French side with three of them in Champions League. One against Galatasaray and two against Club Brugge.

PSG are currently first in their group in Champions League with nine points in three matches and are set to win Ligue 1 for their third consecutive year. They currently have eight Ligue 1 titles.
