At the Parc des Princes,

For Leo Messi's grand premiere at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain almost spoiled the party and left two points on the way against a rather dashing Olympique Lyonnais given the context.

But a goal from Mauro Icardi at the very end of the match allowed PSG to clinch their sixth consecutive victory in as many games.

Messi, already on conquered ground

Seeing Leo Messi looking at 360 ° this Parc des Princes in fusion, with cracking fumis in Argentinian sauce as a welcome gift, just before kick-off, we wonder who of the former Blaugrana or the supporters Parisians were the most impressed this Sunday evening. It then remained to mark this historic day with a goal.

We believed that the time had come in the 36th minute Paris obtained a free kick to 25 meters.

La Pulga puts the ball down, the Park holds its breath.

An angel then passes into the stadium on the (almost) perfect shot of number 30, but Lopes' square decided to play the spoilsport.

On arrival, it will be necessary to wait to see the first pawn of the Chip in its new colors.

Very interesting in the first half, Messi dropped feet in the second, to the point of pushing Pochettino to replace him in the last quarter of an hour.

"Poché" is still looking

We do not know if the Parisian coach received a phone call from Emir Al-Thani before the meeting, still it was that he had chosen to align his quartet Peggi 18 (Messi-Neymar-Mbappé-Di Maria) from the kick-off, leaving the Gueye-Herrera pair the leisure to do the dirty work.

The problem, which will probably be the whole season for the Argentinian coach, remains the balance of a team whose game plan is still struggling to define. If indeed Poché knows it himself ...

On arrival, if there is little doubt that the square of Aces in attack will crush many defenses this season, the largesse between the lines still led to the opening of the Lyon score on a goal de Paqueta wonderfully served by Toko Ekambi (54th).

Messi?

No, Icardi

Paris Saint-Germain is a club apart and it is not this Sunday's match that will contradict us.

While this club can afford to align the equivalent of Austria's GDP on the lawn, and everyone was waiting for Messi, it was finally another Argentinian, Mauro Icardi, who came to offer the victory to the Reds and Blue at the end of additional time.

Perfectly found by a center at the far post from Mbappé, the former Inter, who came into play a few minutes earlier, rose higher than his BMI would have led him to think to catapult the ball from the head to the bottom nets.

After six days, and even if everything has not been perfect for the Parisians, PSG continues its raid of points and sits at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, 5 points behind OM, its new runner-up.
