Carlos Soler waited until the last Ligue 1 match of the season to score perhaps one of the best goals of the season.
With the match scoreless in the 7th minute, Soler received a short pass off a corner from Kang-In Lee. From outside the box, Soler was likely looking to play a cross to a teammate in front of goal, but instead, his pass looped past the outstretched FC Metz’s goalkeeper and landed in the back of the net.
The goal of the season? 🔥 🤩

Soler last scored for PSG in Ligue 1 last October against RC Strasbourg. His second goal for PSG may actually end up being his last. The former Valencia midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with both Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion FC showing interest.
PSG’s midfield will certainly undergo a rebuild this season. Vitinha and Warren Zaïre-Emery have both solidified their role in the starting lineup under Luis Enrique, but Soler and Fabian Ruiz have not proven to be consistent enough to be considered long-term solutions.
In 2022, Soler made the move to PSG from Valencia for a reported €18 million. Depending on how highly Villa and Brighton rate Soler, PSG could make a small profit on the transfer.
PSG have already secured their 12th Ligue 1 title, so there’s very little to play for against Metz. Soler was likely getting a chance to feature due to Luis Enrique wanting to rotate the squad ahead of PSG’s Coupe de France final against Olympique Lyonnais.
