At the Parc des Princes
Fear of Paris.
After a dull performance, PSG bowed to a voluntary and conquering OL this Sunday evening (0-1), at the Parc des Princes, thus offering the reins of Ligue 1 to Lille.
But the important thing may lie elsewhere.
We are in stoppage time when Lyon's Brazilian midfielder Thiago Mendes goes to a duel with his compatriot Neymar.
Duel to say the least rough ... The Parisian remains on the ground.
The referee of the meeting finally awarded a red to Mendes, in the ninth minute of stoppage time. The left ankle of number 10 was hit, caught in a pincer.
It was on a stretcher and in tears that the former Barcelona left the pitch, a few moments before the final whistle.
Dirty evening for PSG, which could remain like a dark evening if the injury were to be serious and cause a long absence.
Obviously, the 8th of the Champions League are still far away, in February and March.
But still.
The club has obviously not yet communicated this Sunday evening.
Thomas Tuchel, he was extremely careful in these comments.
In a press conference, the German coach of the vice-champions of Europe simply declared this: “For Ney, I have no news, he is with the physiotherapists, the doctors, he will have an exam tomorrow (Monday). "
Relaunched to find out if he was worried, the Bavarian replied in the affirmative.
"Of course, but my experience prompts me to wait for the results of the exams."
Note that Abdou Diallo also came out on injury this Sunday evening, from the 29th minute of play. "It's muscular" said Tuchel.
Neymar, 28, was playing his 12th game in 2020-21 (9 goals, 5 assists), and his 98th under the Parisian colors (79 goals, 46 assists).
Since his arrival in the capital, he has obviously experienced two long periods of unavailability, each time touching an ankle.
