A festival of goals, a hug between two legends and a great fear in the corridors ... Beyond the narrow victory of the Parisians against RB Leipzig (3-2), the match gave rise to several funny or spectacular sequences on Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes.
The first is legendary.
It is a hug to seven Golden Balls, that of Ronaldinho, who had made the trip to the stadium, with Messi.
A former Parisian and a current one, reunited during the warm-up.
💫 Two legends, two wonderful players.
A very nice hug ...

Another streak should feed the end of the year bloopers.
A few minutes before the start of this third day of group stage, PSG players gather in the corridors of the Parc des Princes to prepare to set foot on the lawn.
Suddenly, Kylian Mbappé gets agitated, lowers his head, shakes his arms.
The referee was simply trying his whistle.
Too close to the Paris star's ears, no doubt.
