The star team from PSG finally won after three losses in a row. However, they unexpectedly struggled at home and Lionel Messi finally secured the three points in injury time.
The star team from PSG finally won after three losses in a row. However, they unexpectedly struggled at home and Lionel Messi finally secured the three points in injury time.
The star team from Paris has now lost three games in a row
At the Parc des Princes today, PSG’s all-star team was instrumental in giving the club’s fans a taste of victory after three games. For the first time this month, the star trio of Mbappé – Neymar – Messi made an appearance from the opening whistle and in the end it was almost another embarrassment.
The Galaxy have come under immense pressure in recent weeks and the chair under coach Christophe Galtier has begun to sway considerably. The French media has come out with the information that the Parisian coach has been given an ultimatum by the club’s management and the decider is to be the LM 8-final rematch at Bayern Munich’s ground.
But the French manager did not have to wait for it, because in the next league match his team had to fight for the victory only at the very end of the match. With the fifth team of Ligue One from Lille still a few minutes before the end of the match in the Park of Princes, the fans saw an unfavourable score of 2: 3 for their team.
After a promising start to the game against Lille, the home fans were in for another shock
The team led by Frenchman Galtier entered the match with a dream-like attitude. Already in the eleventh minute, the cooperation between Mbappé and Neymar worked perfectly and the former, after returning from injury, opened the scoring with a beautiful individual action.
Only six minutes later, Neymar, who was blamed for his lack of recovery after the loss to Munich, answered the criticism of the fans in recent days. The Brazilian went to a poker tournament with a stop at McDonald’s immediately after the home loss.
However, in the 17th minute, he headed a pass from Portuguese midfielder Vitinho into the net. But PSG’s defence was woeful today and the opposition bit unpleasantly throughout the game. Before the end of the half, visiting full-back Diakite got his header to reduce the score to 2-1.
Those who would expect a quiet finish to the game and a possible increase in the score for the home team would be wrong. The courageous visiting team from the north of France shocked the home fans. It was Neymar, who had to leave the field on a stretcher in the 51st minute due to an injury, who scared them shortly after the change of sides.
In the 58th minute, the home team’s problems began when Veratti pulled down the opponent in his own penalty area and a penalty kick followed. Canadian Jonathan David took it to level the score at 2-2.
An even bigger shock then came in the 69th minute when Jonathan Bamba fired past Donnarumma to boos from the home crowd. However, the PSG stars pulled the emergency brake and turned the game around thanks to their individual quality.
The blunder was saved in stoppage time by Lionel Messi from a direct free-kick
Kylian Mbappé first gave a spark of hope three minutes before the end of normal time, capitalising on Juan Bernat’s centre back. But that was by no means all.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time, the football world witnessed yet another brilliant moment from Lionel Messi, who never ceases to amaze with his supernatural skills. The Argentine, from a direct kick to the goalkeeper’s side, got the ball into the net and saved another blunder for his team.
Paris Saint-Germain have thus consolidated first place in the table of the top French league. But all eyes are already on the rematch at the Allianz Arena in Munich on 8 March.
