PSG earned a penalty early in the match due to a late tackle on forward Randal Kolo Muani by Lucas Perrin, but Strasbourg goalkeeper Alaa Bellaarouch saved Mbappe’s attempt.

PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma too made several saves.

Dortmund held

Donyell Malen had a goal ruled out for offside as Borussia Dortmund’s winning start to the new year ended in a 0-0 draw at Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. Dortmund, without Jadon Sancho, had won their opening three games of 2024, scoring 10 goals.

Lecce win

Lecce scored twice in the last three minutes to beat Fiorentina 3-2 in Serie A and condemn the Tuscan side to a sixth straight match without a win and their worst start to a calendar year since 2002.

The Florence club has not won since December 29 and has picked up just one point in its last four league games.
