Beckham makes stunning PSG Debut.
David Beckham made his Paris Saint-Germain
debut on Sunday night and enjoyed the perfect start as his new side
secured a vital 2-0 victory in their attempt to win the Ligue 1 title.
The former England captain joined PSG on a five-month deal last month and came off the bench to make his debut at the Parc des Princes, helping to lay on Zlatan Ibrahimovic's injury-time second. The opener had arrived from a player signed with the long term in mind: Lucas Moura, a fellow January arrival, scored a deflected first-half goal.
The upshot was that Carlo Ancelotti's team saw off one of their fellow title challengers, Marseille, and moved three points ahead of Lyon at the top.
With Beckham's debut expected, the interest was bigger than usual, although with him starting on the bench it was left to others to make the early headlines.
Beckham joined in the celebrations on the bench and his team-mates on the pitch were relatively untroubled afterwards, with André Ayew, Marseille's liveliest forward, lucky not to avoid injury himself as he chopped down Ibrahimovic.
Beckham would have a say at the other end and, with seconds of injury time left, he chipped a pass into the left-hand channel of the area for Jérémy Ménez, whose cross was tucked in by Ibrahimovic for his 22nd goal of the season.

Beckham has refused to fade.. I hope he pays more attention to football now rather than acting like a hollywood star.. I still like him tho...
