Mbappe was missing against defending champion Lille due to an injury, but with Messi, Neymar and Di Maria, there was still enough talent in the capital at the front.
PSG was also boss in the first half, but the most dangerous opportunities came from the visitors. Just after the half hour, Jonathan David even made the deserved 0-1. The preparatory work came from Burak, David could hardly miss his 8th of the season.
After the break, it was immediately apparent that Messi had stayed in the changing rooms of the Parc des Princes. He was replaced up front by Icardi. Lille kept everything close in the second half. What’s more: it even had chances at 0-2 via Burak and David.
But in the final quarter the visitors still cracked. First, Di Maria gave captain Marquinhos the 1-1, after which the Argentinian finished it off two minutes before time with a slider in the left corner.
PSG remains the authoritarian leader in France with 31 out of 36, which is ten points more than first pursuer Lens. Still, there will be some concerns in the French capital about the fitness of Mbappe and Messi.
