João Neves’ Double Bicycle Caps Hat-Trick as PSG Rout Toulouse 6-3

The display signals a return of Paris’s attacking efficiency after early-season wastefulness.

Overview

  • PSG moved to the top of Ligue 1 with the emphatic win in Toulouse.
  • Neves delivered his first professional hat-trick with two bicycle kicks seven minutes apart and a late long-range strike.
  • French reporting notes the feat is probably a first in the five major European leagues this century, and Portuguese outlets touted him as a FIFA Puskás Award candidate.
  • Ousmane Dembélé converted two penalties before leaving with left‑thigh discomfort, leaving his near‑term availability for France uncertain.
  • Bradley Barcola scored and won a penalty, goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier saved two spot kicks, and Luis Enrique pointed to improved fitness and pressing ahead of a home Champions League tie with Atalanta in about two and a half weeks.
