Paris Saint Germain, with Messi, disappoints again with a new defeat at home

Paris Saint Germain, with Lionel Messi as the starter, suffered their third defeat this Sunday in the last four home appearances after losing 3-1 to Lorient, on date 33 of France’s Ligue 1.

The captain of the Argentine national team played from the start at the Parque de los Príncipes stadium, which again whistled goodbye to Christophe Galtier’s team.

The Ligue 1 leader played from 20 minutes into the first half with one player less due to the expulsion of the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi.

At 15 minutes, Enzo Le Fee opened the score for the visit, at 29′ Kylian Mbappé matched him after an unusual mistake by the rival goalkeeper, at 38, Darlin Yongwa made it 2-1 and Bamba Dieng closed the victory to one minute to go.

In the temporary equalizing goal, Mbappé took advantage of the fact that goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo put the ball on the ground to resume play without taking into account that the referee had already given the order to reset.

Despite the gift, PSG could not hold the tie and suffered another defeat at home that could have been due to a wider difference.

The three falls in said condition were in 2023 and in the last four dates.

With the Brazilian Neymar in the stands while he recovers from injury, the Parisian team will be able to emerge as champions but will complete a disappointing season that will force the Qatari owners to rethink the club’s project.

With the fall of PSG, Olympique Marseille, who beat Auxerre 2-1 with the presence of Argentine Leonardo Balerdi, narrowed the lead with the leader to five points, with five days to go until the end of Ligue 1.
