Metz almost succeeded.

Faced with a very reduced PSG at the start of the season, the Garnets hoped to bring something back from their trip to Paris on Wednesday night.

Vincent Hognon had also decided not to close the game, by establishing Diallo and Niane in attack, with Boulaya behind them.

The Messins created a few chances, but they were unable to convert them.

And in the end, they were punished (1-0).

"We tried, we had ambition at our level, it is obvious that I would have liked us to go look for them a little more to try to make the difference", reacted the coach after the meet.

But what disappoints him more, obviously, is this goal conceded in stoppage time while the Parisians were reduced to nine, after the expulsion of Diallo and the injury of Bernat.

“We're ruining everything.

If we lose tonight it's our fault.

Because the goal that we take nine against eleven… No, it's forbidden!

», Railed Hognon.

And this is how FC Metz missed its first point of the season.

After three meetings, the club is already in bad shape.

“It's always a big disappointment in the locker room because the players feel they haven't gone far.

But not to go far, that's not enough, regretted the technician.

We had situations, even at the end, but we don't score.

And this is a step that must be taken quickly.

The season is going to be very long otherwise.
