• PSG beat Nantes on Saturday night at the Parc des Princes.

  • The third goal was scored by Leo Messi, his first with PSG in the league.

  • Beyond the personal case of the Argentine, the trio he forms with Neymar and Mbappé delivered their best collective performance since the start of the season.

At the Parc des Princes,

There was the magnificent goal to seal the victory against Manchester City at the end of September, and then this double a little later against Leipzig. But if it wanted to smile in the Champions League, Leo Messi could not do it in the league. Five games and 19 shots were not enough for him to open his counter in Ligue 1, until this Saturday, when he folded the meeting against Nantes with his special - small outside hook to open the angle, shot curled small opposite thread.

All smiles at the time of celebrating and throwing himself in the arms of Kylian Mbappé, the Argentinian was always, a few minutes, when delivering his feeling to the microphone of Amazon.

“I'm happy with this first goal, I really wanted it,” he said.

I had several chances before in this game and in previous games.

I am very happy.

“It is true that Alban Lafont did everything to make him wait for another match, with two high class saves, one up and one down, in the first period.

But the former Barcelona had the last word in the 89th, and it's all PSG that we feel relieved.

"Very important for him to score"

“I don't think he was worried that he didn't score in the league. He is a great champion, the best player in the world, he knows how to go through the most difficult times, he has patience ”, first recalled Mauricio Pochettino for the form, before conceding that it is still a good thing. made. “It's very important for him to score. It's a first goal in Ligue 1, it's always special. "

Beyond the personal case of the Argentinian, it is the performance of the MNM that satisfied the Parisian coach. Aligned entry, which had not happened to them for a month and the draw against OM, the three fantastic delivered their most successful performance collectively. Particularly in legs, Mbappé and Neymar contributed even more than Messi, moreover, to whom he always lacks a little juice in the last 25 meters. The Brazilian lit all the wicks of the first period, when the French, in the tradition of his two games with the Blues, caught half of the Canaries.

"I have always said that it was a question of connections, of spending time together, and also of playing competitive matches, reacted Pochettino, who rather well hides his weariness to answer on the understanding of his three stars .

But it was the whole team that played a good game, as a whole, to allow these talented players to often find themselves in a position to create chances.

"

Occasionally, there was a good shovel in the first 45 minutes, and the three attackers should have returned to the locker room at the break with at least one goal each in the bag, we have already said elsewhere.

Only Neymar, released in the 68th to let Sergio Rico enter the goal after the expulsion of Keylor Navas, finally left without.

"It goes so fast sometimes ..."

No big deal this time.

If the whole is still a little short of breath, what we saw on Saturday is going in the right direction.

"We feel that it is coming little by little," said Thilo Kehrer, the only Parisian to come and say hello to us in the mixed zone after the match.

The people of Nantes also enjoyed the show.

“It goes so quickly sometimes, blows Samuel Moutoussamy.

Messi, Neymar, Mbappé combine, there are shifts.

It's a childhood dream to play against these players.

It's difficult, but you take pleasure in the difficulty.

It's funny, we replace the verb play by train and we swear that's what Pochettino must think every morning.
