Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) swept Toulouse 3-0 away from home in a thrilling battle at dawn on Thursday (1), with 30-year-old Brazilian star Nima once again in action, contributing a crucial goal. Nima has scored 15 goals (9 + 6 assists) in 6 appearances for PSG so far this season, outshining his top rival Kylian McBarbie.

Niema scored in the 37th minute of the first half to give PSG the lead. Including international and club matches, Nima has scored in 10 consecutive matches, setting a new career record for consecutive goals, and his hot form is remarkable.

PSG won 3-0 despite Kilian McBarbie also playing well, scoring a second half goal and hitting the post with a shot late in the game that was eventually added to by Zuan Barnes. Rumors of discord between Nyema and McBarbie, who seems to have a slight upper hand in the power struggle after receiving a hefty paycheck and big power following his contract extension this summer, have even involved a fight over penalty kick chances. Nyema has been working harder on the pitch to try and rival his 'nemesis'. An internal rivalry between the two might be a good thing for PSG.
