  • Leo Messi and Neymar were at the centre of Paris Saint-Germain's slim win over Brest at the Parc des Princes on Saturday afternoon
  • Neymar scored the only goal as PSG survived a late scare from the visitors to continue their unbeaten start to the French top-flight
  • Messi's assist to Neymar was his seventh in the French top-flight while also contributing with three goals in what has been a positive start to the season

Lionel Messi and Neymar linked up for the umpteenth time this season as the latter scored the only goal to help Paris Saint-Germain continue their unbeaten start to the French Ligue 1.

The pair have been in perfect synchrony since the start of the French top-flight and proved why their imperious form could go a long way in ending PSG's search for the elusive Champions League title.

While Messi has been unfortunate in front of goal, Neymar has been simply prolific - scoring a staggering eight goals in just seven games so far.

Neymar's solitary strike inspires PSG to narrow win over Brest

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain continued their unbeaten start to the French Ligue 1 with a narrow win over Brest on Saturday afternoon.

Neymar's first-half strike was more than enough to hand Christoph Galtier's men the three maximum points at stake.

Fresh from defeating Juventus in the UEFA Champions League opener, Galtier tweaked his starting lineup - giving rest to skipper Marquinhos and Portuguese defender Nuno Mendes.
