Hugo Ekitike, Vitinha… the difficult beginnings of the sacrificed PSG and OM

Hugo Ekitike smiles. Starting this Sunday against Wolfsburg (2-2) in the Bundesliga, the former PSG player delivered his first assist in his new colors, which will certainly do him good after being sent to the closet last summer. At the start of the match, it was another Frenchman who stood out: Maxence Lacroix, author of the opening score for the visitors (2nd, 0-1).
