Lionel Messi in PSG – Lorient, live

Ruiz was left with a rebound in the area after a stopped ball, but his shot went close to one of the posts. The locals attack with the obligation to win.

PSG falls to Lorient 2-1. Galtier put in a variant: Fabián Ruiz entered for Carlos Soler. The locals are forced to win to get more advantage at the top of the championship.

PSG beats Lorient for 2 to 1. The visit surprised in the Parque de los Príncipes and established the 1 to 0. The locals took advantage of an unusual error by the goalkeeper of the visit to put the tie and with one less football due to the expulsion of Hakimi. However, Lorient knew how to put justice on the scoreboard. The local footballers retired to the changing rooms booed by all the public present in the stadium.

The joy of PSG did not last at all, which continues to be very weak deep down. Darline Yongwa took advantage of a good play by Lorient to put the game 2-1 away.

Mbappé was attentive to the departure of the visiting goalkeeper to accelerate, search for the ball and define quickly to score the equalizer to the surprise of all the Lorient soccer players who protested thinking that the judge had not given the order to play. However, the judge explained that he did, and PSG tied the game.

The PSG crowd fell silent after Le Fée’s goal and their players can’t find their way, even though they have possession. Lorient remains crouched against the chance of a counterattack.

More concern for PSG: Hakimi stomps on Darline Yongwa, receives the second yellow and is sent off. Will Galtier change the scheme?

The visiting team dealt the first blow and prevailed 1-0 with a goal from Enzo Le Fée, after an overflow from Faivre. Lorient scored too easily in the area of ​​the Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who today celebrates 50 games in the Parisian team.

In the first clear chance for PSG, Mbappé entered the area and shot on target, but Swiss goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo reacted and blocked the shot.

A strong foul by the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi on the Frenchman Romain Faivre led to a yellow card for the defender. Shortly after, Mbappé tried his first shot at the rival goal, which went over the top. Meanwhile, Messi begins to step more firmly to become the driver of the local team.

In the early stages of the match, Lorient wants to slow down in the face of constant pressure from PSG, whose strikers are hanging around the rival area.

Both teams enter the field of play. It will be another challenge to maintain competitive tension.

This is how Galtier’s team will form against Lorient, with his star partner:

The orange team accumulates a series of poor results and faces the match against PSG with five games without knowing the win, after losing the last match against Toulouse at home. At some point in the tournament, the team led by Régis Le Bris kept the illusion of qualifying for an international tournament, but now they are 11th, 14 points behind Lille, who thrashed today and is getting the last place in the Conference League.

The club whose owner is the Qatari magnate Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has accumulated three consecutive successes after a victorious series against Nice, Lens and Angers and has remained a solid leader since the first leg of the championship. The offensive couple that make up Messi and Kylian Mbappé have had some important numbers this season: the man from Rosario scored 15 goals and has 30 assists in the league, while the Frenchman scored 22 times and 10 assists.

There were good feelings in the last PSG training session on Saturday: Messi was seen with a pure smile, performing the exercises with relaxation but also with the corresponding focus. Although his main objective is to achieve the second consecutive title, after his arrival for the 21/22 season, he wonders about his future team, at 34 years old. For a few months he has been talking about a different destination and the chance of returning to his second home is growing more and more: Barcelona.
