Di Maria at the height
He is not always a starter this season but he is trying to respond.
And against Troyes, Angel Di Maria's left foot hit the mark again.
After a first rolled shot well repelled by Moulin, the Argentinian offered a caviar to Marquinhos on the opening of the Parisian score (6th).
There were still several actions throughout the game by multiplying the good services for his partners.
Even finding his legs, he tried some great accelerations which recalled his greatest hours.

Troyes sold his skin dearly
Being down 2-0 and coming back to 2-2 looks a bit like a victory for Estac.
Organized in 5-4-1, the Trojans came to the Parc des Princes above all to stay solid and the first half hour raised fears of the worst.
Except that Bruno Irles' men never stopped believing in their chances by regularly projecting themselves forward on the counterattacks.
Audacity that paid off and a draw sounding like the symbol of solidarity.
Neymar, there is better
Appearing sharper, Neymar seems to be determined to end his season well, unlike some of his partners.
The Brazilian constantly provoked his direct opponent on his left flank and gave some chills with some gestures of which he has the secret.
Quietly transforming a penalty, he was one of the only ones to set the pace on the Parisian side.
FLOPS
Paris and a worrying defense
More than the defense, it is the general balance of this PSG which is still in question.
Because Pochettino wanted to line up a resolutely offensive team from the start with the tenure of the Di Maria-Neymar-Messi-Mbappé quartet.
Except that the Danilo and Verratti circles found themselves left to their own devices with the lack of withdrawal from the “stars”.
And the defense has been weakened.
No wonder Nuno Mendes missed a fatal raise on the 1st goal conceded and Kimpembe conceded a penalty as soon as the recovery.
Messi, it's still not that
Evolving quite low, due to the presence of three offensive elements at his side, Lionel Messi often got lost in his actions, his races.
If he looked a lot for relays as usual, he multiplied the bad choices.
Proof of his dubious form, he missed quite a few attempts and again found the uprights, twice.
A complicated end to the season for the Argentinian.
Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé had a complicated evening.

Mbappé, the mine of bad evenings
Where did the usually sharp Mbappé go?
Again at the Parc des Princes, the Parisian striker.
Already insufficient against OM and against Lens, the French striker seems undoubtedly affected by the lack of atmosphere in his stadium or by his probable departure to come.
Because on the ground, he never showed his qualities, except on the penalty he caused.
Otherwise, only bad choices, missed strikes or missed relays.
Unusual for a player of his caliber.
