The match between Angers y PSG It wasn’t exactly a classic. the home set, last with just 14 pointshad few weapons to attack the pointer of the Ligue 1, for which they tried to entrench near their area, while the Parisian team had a very difficult time finding spaces to attack. It was necessary, once again, the intervention of Lionel Messi, who established himself as the exclusive figure of the party. The two brushstrokes of him, first a punctured ball so that Juan Bernat I lowered it to Kylian Mbappe and then an exquisite through ball for the Frenchman, were essential to unlock the match and sign a new victory for the defending champion. In any case, PSG suffered towards the end: the discount of Sad Thioub he made up the result, which ended in 2-1.
The summary of PSG’s triumph
Mbappé’s two goals in the first half, with excellent assists from Messi, were enough to crown the Parisian team’s victory, despite the late discount, 2-1. With this triumph, the Parisians extend their difference at the top to 9 points, although Olympique de Marseille still has to play.
A defensive inattention from PSG will end the game with a scare. The admitted Sada Thioub started and finished the play: he opened for Valery, the former Southampton centered for Mendy to bring it down and Thioub himself defined without giving Donnarumma chances for discount. PSG now wins 2-1.
The visiting team continues to control the ball, which means that the home team is as far from the goal as possible, but since it is constant during the match, it cannot generate too many chances of danger.
Mbappé was now the one who saw a space from the left, and took a strong shot from medium distance with the destination of a goal. But again the goalkeeper of the local team appeared, who cleared upwards.
The forward was left with the ball on the edge of the area to finish off after a corner, and his volley ended up hitting the roof of the Donnarumma goal.
Galtier chooses to reintroduce Marco Verratti in midfield, who replaces Carlos Soler. PSG is still up 2-0.
Similar to what happened at the start of the first half, now possession is PSG, who can play around the Angers area, but cannot quite find the spaces to break that resistance.
Mbappé appeared overflowing on the left and threw a quick-start cross for the arrival of Vitinha, but the Portuguese let it pass and it was left for the Moroccan, better positioned. However, his shot went well over the crossbar.
In the first minutes it was the local team that searched for the rival area with crosses into the PSG area, which for the moment have been cleared by the visiting defenders.
Wattellier whistles, Niane moves and begins the second 45 minutes between Angers and PSG, which for the moment triumphs 2-0.
During the initial warm-up, Messi was surprised by a fan who, with a more than recognizable accent, exclaimed “Go ahead, world champion!” The Flea responded with a knowing smile as he moved.
PSG’s rival today has one of the worst campaigns among the five main European leagues: it has three wins, five draws and no less than 24 losses. No team in these tournaments has more falls and only Elche (13) accumulates fewer points (14).
Thanks to Mbappé’s double with two excellent assists from Messi, PSG goes into the break with a partial 2-0 victory over Angers.
After a quick counterattack from Angers, Négoce found midfielder Batista Mendy on the edge of the area, who finished off from the croissant. However, Gianluigi Donnarumma had no problem getting the shot.
Messi reappeared in the middle. After playing with Vitinha, the number 30 found space to advance and unleashed a powerful left foot, but the Angers keeper made a great save to prevent the lead from widening.
With the 2-0 deficit behind, it is now the home team that needs to take the initiative, as their initial tactic of waiting for PSG near their area can no longer be continued.
Lionel again. Impressive through ball that broke all the defensive lines and left Mbappé one on one with Bernardoni. The striker had no problem getting past the goalkeeper and converting, with a free arc, to make it 2-0.
Galtier’s team maintain possession but cannot change their passive register, partly thanks to Angers’ firm low block, which also has a very dangerous counter-attack exit.
Niane brought the ball down to Négoce so that he could define it in the area, but the striker did not define well and the ball went too far, missing in the corner. PSG is still not comfortable despite the advantage.
Messi was in charge of unlocking the iron defense of Angers with a brilliant pass to the foot of Bernat, who left it served to Mbappé. Initially the Frenchman missed the ball, but he had time to turn around and define again to make it 1-0.
After a bad start from PSG, Niane appeared on the left, but Gianluigi Donnarumma dived in a great way to prevent the home team’s first goal. It had been a start with a lot of possession but little attack on space for PSG.
Mbappé moves, Eric Wattellier whistles and the match in Angers begins.
