The month of February has not really brightened the face of Paris Saint-Germain until now.
After victories over Montpellier and Toulouse, the team from the city of lights surrendered to Marseille in the cup and lost a title, lost to Monaco, and last week came the harsh loss to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Today (Sunday) it seemed that Neymar, Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe were once again on the way to losing points, but a tremendous goal by the world champion Betri in a deep free kick in added time, gave some peace to Christophe Galtier and his players.
As early as the 17th minute, Galtier's team led 0:2, after Mbappe juggled in the area and scored an amazing personal move, with Neymar doubling 6 minutes later.
Lille, who knows Galtier very well, did not raise her hands.
In the 24th minute, she returned to the game, when a beautiful corner kick ended with a shot by Bafuda Diakita that narrowed the score to 2:1 before the whistle for the break.
At the start of the second half, Galtier and Paris suffered another heavy blow when Neymar was injured and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher.

His injury took the air out of the sails of Messi and friends, and Jonathan David equalized 2:2 from the penalty spot.
If anyone thought that Lille was just pressuring PSG a little, then in the 69th minute the tremendous turnaround was completed, when Jonathan Bamba did the unbelievable at Parc de France, and Lille came back from a deficit to a huge 2:3.
Ends?
Definately not.
After minutes in which PSG seemed completely lost, in the 87th minute a great double pass ended with a perfect cross by Juan Brent Lambepa, who scored his second goal of the day.
Deep in the added time, PSG received a free kick and Messi kicked the crossbar inside, with all the bench players including Galtier running to hug the flea who secured 3 very important points in the championship fight.
