We go over everything you need to know for Clermont vs. Paris Saint-Germain on Matchday 1.

The two sides met twice last season as PSG cruised to 4-0 and 6-1 wins. They’ve won the Ligue 1 title eight times in the last 10 seasons, and will be looking to defend last year’s championship yet again. They just signed superstar Kylian Mbappe to a hefty three-year deal that will keep the young phenom in Paris for the foreseeable future, and they’ve got a who’s-who of world football on their roster including Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, Mauro Icardi, Keylor Navas, and so many more. Clermont Foot is set to take on defending Ligue 1 champions PSG as both teams begin their 2022-23 season this weekend. They finished in 17th place with 36 points, just four points ahead of Saint-Etienne who occupied the lone relegation playoff spot.

There are auspicious signs for Achraf Hakimi after the new Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier switched to a three-man defence.

Galtier has accepted the challenge of coaching this expensively-assembled group, promising to put them in the right environment — read tactics and roles — to thrive. He stayed wide and high, at times in line with the most advanced forward and even threatened to run offside before holding his run. The Parisians have hitherto ditched the usual 4-3-3 for several variations of a back three under the former Lille trainer. At PSG, he was not as pivotal, falling to seventh for progressive carries per 90 having ranked highest under Antonio Conte and only behind Jadon Sancho in 2019-20. Thus, maybe 10 goals plus assists were to his credit despite having to interpret different roles in a changed formation under Mauricio Pochettino last season. Having said that, Hakimi’s dip in involvement needs the necessary context.

Marseille finished second last year and have also reinforced their squad in order to make the leap in quality. Obviously, the club with the biggest investment in Ligue 1 has been the Parc des Princes side with 91.50 million euros, but the rest of the chasing pack have also strengthened their squads and, in some cases, there's a lot of excitement. The three stars have been joined by the arrivals of Vitinha, Renato Sanches and Nordi Mukiele. Now, more than ever, PSG have an obligation in the Champions League.

There were a fair amount of fireworks at the Parc des Princes in May when Paris Saint-Germain collected the 2022 Ligue 1 trophy after a 5-0 mauling of Metz.

Hardly the ideal prelude to a season in which Marseille, who entertain Reims on Sunday, are expected to challenge for the Ligue 1 title and make some kind of impact in the Champions League. By early 2022, the Ligue 1 race had become a matter of when PSG would claim the crown. The new, utilitarian PSG will begin their campaign for a record 11th title at Clermont on Sunday and will be expected to sweep all before them. However, in view of PSG's resources and depth of talent, the latest instalment of Ligue 1 suggests a quest to be top of the also-rans. Such blue-collar motivation appears to have been clocked and loaded. There were pyrotechnics too during the summer.
