FAVORITES

Thank you Paris, thank you Lille

It is a match that will make history and will be remembered.

Burning context, suspense to cut with a knife, goals of madness… There was everything this Sunday, at the Parc des Princes, with this incredible victory of PSG over Lille (4-3), during the 24th day of Ligue 1. “

A crazy match for the spectators, not necessarily for the coaches

“Squeaks Thierry Henry on Amazon.

Not false.

In the process, PSG, who still had three defeats in a row, led 2-0, Lille came back to 2-1 before the break, Neymar came out (see elsewhere), the Mastiffs scored two more goals to take the reins, Paris groggy for a long time but Paris which made the difference in the last minutes on the talent of its stars, in this case Kylian Mbappé (see elsewhere) for the 3-3 and a free kick signed Leo Messi , incoming post, for the win.

Mad !

Mbappé as a boss

Initially expected to return next week, Kylian Mbappé preceded the call to play 30 minutes against Bayern, changing the face of the match… in vain (0-1 defeat).

Against Lille, he was quick to shake the nets.

11 minutes to be precise, opening the saloon doors before deceiving Lucas Chevalier from close range.

Understand that he passed between two defenders, a bit like he did against Real last year.

Also involved in the second Parisian goal, "

“had fangs this Sunday, incisive on his ball catches, inspired in his dribbling.

Neymar's opening was no less delicious to find Bondy's crack, physically tough after the break, who equalized on a serve from Juan Bernat in the 87th, his 15th this season in L1 (co-top scorer with Rémois Balogun) and his 198th since his arrival in Paris (two lengths from Cavani's record, 200).

Beyond the figures, Mbappé has above all assumed his status in this PSG which lacks a bit of everything at the moment.

Which Mbappé did not fail to talk about the country to his rearguard after Lille's third goal and this rush from Bamba.

Taulier.

André Gomes, it's serious

Author of a millimeter opening for Lille's third goal, an overpowering cannon shot near the first post by Jonathan Bamba, André Gomes achieved a new high-flying performance and confirmed his good form of the moment.

Slaughter, quality balloons.

International class.

At 29, the Portuguese international midfielder is doing a lot of good in the midfield of Losc and PSG has paid to see.

Guess who dropped the ball on Bafodé Diakité's head in the first half?

Yes, the player on loan from Everton last summer.

Note that Losc lost José Fonte to injury early in the game.

New blow for the Lille veteran?

CLAW STRIKES

Bad luck does not let go of Paris-SG

Even by going to bed early and eating a balanced diet, you are not immune to a glitch.

Example with Nuno Mendes, hit in the ankle during a duel with Lille Diakité half an hour into the game. The bad luck does not let go of PSG, who would need the percussion force of the Portuguese side in a little more two weeks in Munich.

Already deprived of Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, Nordi Mukiele and Renato Sanches, the Rouge et Bleu clearly do not need to see the infirmary fill up before Act II against Bayern, let alone Marseille next Sunday.

Especially since it wasn't over.

Start of the second half, Neymar's turn to go to the mat.

The ankle too, the right, the one that gave way during the World Cup.

"Is it serious doctor ?"

Enough to see the Brazilian being evacuated on a stretcher,

in tears.

Image that is all too ordinary for a player who regularly has his napkin ring in the infirmary.

It remains to be seen how long he will stay there this time.

Too much to hope to be in Munich on March 8?

Paris is still light

Who would've believed that ?

After 17 minutes, seeing the "

Mbappé-SG

“Walking on the Mastiffs, one could imagine a quiet afternoon for Christophe Galtier's men.

Except that the Red and Blue loosened the grip and conceded the reduction of the score before half-time (2-1 MT).

After the break and Neymar's injury, the generous penalty and goal from Jonathan David (58th) and the missile from Jonathan Bamba (68th).

Reaction ?

Not much.

At least not for a long time, despite Galtier's changes.

We had to wait for the last minutes of the match to see Lucas Chevalier solicited by Paris Saint-Germain until the equalizer from Mbappé (87th) and the winning free kick from Messi (90 + 5).

Despite the headwinds, the injuries, the refereeing decisions, the Parisians showed worrying limits in the game. But in the heads, they were strong and did not

didn't drop anything.

Glass half full?

Perhaps a turning point... In any case, the Auteuil corner never let go of its players, even at 2-3.

It is also to be welcomed.

We were in a moment of the match where we were doing everything backwards and we felt that we were one
