Paris Saint-Germain were on their way to a second home loss in a row and fourth in all competitions after succumbing to Bayern Munich in midweek in the Champions League, but Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi were there for them and saved them from a loss when from the 87th minute until the end they made it 3:4 against Lille.
Later today, Lance will host Nantes and 24th round signing Marseille in an away game in Toulouse.
Last night Nice finished 0:0 with Reims.
Spectacular performance on the way to a critical pair.

Paris Saint-Germain - Lille 3:4
Christophe Galtier met the team he led to win the championship in 2020/21, and
during the game
there were already reports that his position was being undermined due to the lag his team fell into, which was on its way to a fourth consecutive loss in all competitions and second at home.
Kylian Mbappe did indeed return to the lineup after coming off the bench against Bayern Munich and immediately scored a spectacular goal, in the 12th minute, five minutes later it was Neymar who doubled the lead, but Lille responded with a quick goal of her own in the 24th minute and went into the break with a minimal deficit of 2: 1.
The big turning point came when in the 51st minute Neymar was injured and was taken away on a stretcher, the Brazilian groaned in pain and definitely gave PSG reasons to worry, and this was even before Jonathan Bamba and Jonathan David scored in the 58th and 69th minutes respectively to make it 2:3 rare.
Luckily for Galtier, even without Neymar, he has Mbappe and Messi - the French made a dramatic 3:3 in the 87th minute, and the Argentine world champion kicked a beautiful free kick in the 90th+5th minute en route to victory.
A mighty 3:4 to Paris Saint-Germain, in a game completely different from PSG's crazy 1:7 over Lille in the first round.
The course of the game
1 minute: Lille almost stunned the Parisians.
Timothy Wah put himself in a dangerous position and kicked the goal, the ball hit Nuno Mendes and Donnarumma was able to block with his feet.
5th minute: Neymar found Messi free, the Argentine kicked from the air and squeezed a save.
10th minute: A big mistake by Kimpamba, who tried to return the ball to Donnarumma, but David grabbed him and an attempt to bounce over the goalkeeper ended in a great save.
12th minute: Goal!
An amazing goal by Mbappe.
The striker received the ball on the edge of the box, passed between two and rolled out of the box into the net.
0:1 to Paris Saint-Germain.

17th minute: Goal!
The second of Paris Saint-Germain.
Vitinia could have kicked, but saw the keeper come out to him and told Neymar that he had found the open net.
21st minute: Donnarumma saved PSG again, this time after David went past Kimpamba and kicked into the near corner.
24th minute: Goal!
The pace did not slow down.
Andre Gomes lifted a ball into the center of the box and Diakita hit a shot that Donnarumma couldn't stop.
31st minute: Second substitution in the game.
After Ponte was injured and replaced at Lille, Mendes was injured and left PSG.
Minute 51: Another injury in Paris Saint-Germain, and one that looks particularly worrying.
Neymar injured his ankle and was seen on the verge of tears as he was taken away on a stretcher.
58th minute: Goal!
Night back to 2:2!
Verratti tripped Diallo in the box and rightfully received a yellow card, David sent Donnarumma to the other corner and equalized from the penalty spot.
69th minute: Goal!
The turnaround is complete and night with a 2:3 advantage!
Gomes ran Bamba and the latter fired a strong and accurate shot into Donnarumma's net.
87th minute: Goal!
Mbappe with his second and PSG at 3:3!
Substitute Bernat crossed from the left, Mbappe put his foot in and probably saved his team from a home loss by completing a brace.
Minute 90+5: Goal!
Unbelievable but Paris Saint-Germain became 3:4!
Messi kicked a free ball from about 20 meters to the far corner, the ball hit the crossbar and entered the net.
What a goal!
