Report (CulturePSG) :

Finally a reference match for Paris

PSG traveled this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.) to Lille to face LOSC as part of the 23rd day of L1 and the Parisians won 5-1 with a good performance. Paris certainly took advantage of three errors from the goalkeeper before the break to score through Danilo, Kimpembe and Messi, but the Parisians were well above. Danilo offered himself a double and Mbappé completed the beautiful Parisian part with a jewel of goal.

The game :

Messi kicked off and PSG took the entry ball, calmly (2nd). On a quick attack from Mbappé, his pass into the area for Messi is intercepted (3rd). While Bamba saw his center back being repelled by Paredes, Paris offered a quick attack but Mendes missed his shot after a good pass from Messi (4th). On a good pass from Weah, Ben Arfa is found in the area and shoots but Kimpembe diverts well for a corner (8th). On this one, Onana’s head is well above. PSG finally opens the scoring with a gag goal: Nuno Mendes ignites the left side and crosses very hard in front of the goal, the goalkeeper misses and Danilo is there closely to score (0-1, 10th)!

Lille did not give up and a repelled cross was taken over by Onana but Donnarumma quickly went to the ground and pushed back (11′). PSG is generally in the game and Messi launches a good counter but Lille emerges (16th). Well served by Hakimi, Messi gets into a striking position and engages 20m but it ends just off the post (18th). While Di Maria suddenly complains, the action continues and Paris emerges as best it can (19th). Di Maria is also trying his luck from afar, above (20th). On a corner, Botman sends a header which passes just above but Donnarumma was on it (22nd). Mbappé gets caught in the ankle but the referee does not give an obvious yellow card (24th).

Lille hurts on stupidly lost balls or quick attacks, recovering corners. On one of them played in several stages, Ben Arfa has fun on the left side with Di Maria, he crosses back on Botamn who takes over with a volley, Donnarumma touches him but sends him into the back of his net ( 1-1, 28th). Paris responds with a good pass from Messi for Hakimi, he tries in a good position in the area and it goes just wide (32nd).

PSG finally regain the advantage with an improbable goal: Messi kicks a good corner at the near post but Marquinhos and Grbic miss the ball, not Kimpembe who tackles it in the goal behind them (1-2, 32nd)! Weah thinks of going to challenge Donnarumma and finally stumbles on Marquinhos well back but he was in fact offside and just kicked Donnarumma out in his feet (36th). Paris quickly plays a counter and Messi finally shifts Mbappé but his shot at the end of the race flies away (37th).

In the aftermath, Mbappé made a big breakthrough but it was poorly cleared by LOSC, and with a billiard shot, it came back to Messi who infiltrated and placed a superb dive in front of the goalkeeper to score (1-3, 38th )!

Lille have given a lot of gifts to PSG but Paris are clearly the better team on the pitch. Lille is dangerous on the accelerations of its wingers but Bamba is pushed back (43rd). While Messi causes an excellent free kick, Draxler replaces Di Maria, touched (45th). On the free kick, Messi finds the crossbar with a superb shot (45th)! At the break, PSG leads 3-1, with certainly a generous opposing goalkeeper, but a good overall performance.

The game starts again without changes but with a Messi taken over just before entering the box (46th). Draxler sends Hakimi well towards the goal but the cross is blocked, the corner which follows results in a strike from Mbappé above (49th). On a ball recovered high by Paredes, this triggers and Messi serves Mbappé who finds himself hitting from a closed angle, next (50th). Paris are fine in the second half and Draxler escapes from the right side and crosses back for Messi who shoots but Grbic makes a huge save. It then circulates and Danilo tries his luck from 20m, deceiving Grbic (0-4, 51st)!

Lille tried hard to attack but Donnarumma kept an eye out and came out well ahead of Weah (54′). Messi gives a jewel pass to Hakimi who crosses for Mbappé but it is cleared by the defense (56th). Bamba tries his luck from a tight angle but Donnarumma catches without problem (60th). A great Parisian action ends with a powerful strike from Paredes, above (62nd). As the game gradually falls asleep, Verratti gives Mbappé the left side, he gets on his right foot and sends a marvelous curled shot into the top corner (1-5, 67th)!

Lille made some changes but it was a PSG in total control that played out and Verratti even found himself trying his luck twice, without success (73rd). Bamba manages to ignite the right wing and crosses at the far post for Gudmondsson who manages to miss the target in a very good position, hampered by Hakimi who had come back well (75th). While Kimpembe is replaced by Kehrer following a blow received, it is Gudmondsson who tries his luck but Donnarumma captures without problem (78th). Mendes escapes on the left side and delivers a perfect cross for Marquinhos whose volley passes just above (80th)!

While Messi takes a free kick obtained by Mbappé too slowly, it is Bamba who finds himself in a very good position and shoots above (85th). Gomes is also close to scoring on a center back but misses the target (88th). The end of the match is anecdotal but Paris tries well until the end to score a sixth, without real conviction for all that.

Reactions:

Mauricio Pochettino :

How satisfied are you tonight and do you think it will help you to face Real Madrid?
“I am happy with this performance. I think it was important before the matches we are going to play, and in particular the Champions League. It is important to be crossed by this type of feeling. Lille are a very good team, they are also in the knockout stages of the Champions League. »

What did you enjoy the most tonight?
“I think I liked the way we started the game. We were compact, stayed very high. We worked as we wanted. The team was more aware and focused on the fact that it had to come from the second line. Very satisfied overall because the performance was good. I note that we were compact. I think that the energy that we were able to breathe into this meeting allowed us to impose ourselves widely, as we saw. »

We spoke with Kylian Mbappé about the positioning in the axis of the game of Lionel Messi, very interesting, but Neymar will also return. Will he be ready for Madrid precisely?
” I do not know for the moment. We are waiting to see its evolution, and it is the same for other players. We hope he will be available and be part of the group. May he help us continue our journey in the Champions League. »

Angel Di Maria was injured at the very end of the first period, and had to leave immediately. Does that mean it’s serious?
“I don’t think it’s serious. I think it’s more of a small problem. He received a kick in the leg. I hope it was nothing major, and that it will be available as soon as possible. »

You said you liked seeing your team more compact today. This is particularly important when recovering the ball, when you have to go to press or replace yourself. When everyone is behind, PSG become a really tough team to beat.
“(Pochettino nods throughout) Alright! I think what you (Henry) just said is very important. You described it very well in French. I mean I completely agree with him, because the team made the effort to get back when the opposing team had the ball. When we have the ball, we have spaces and quality. We have incredible and talented players. When you start playing 50 or 60 yards, it’s hard to link them. But when you win the ball more compactly and have the quality to create those links, that’s fine. I am very happy because we have wonderful players. Being more compact when we have the ball is the team’s main area for improvement. I really appreciated what you just said because it’s a key to appreciating the way we played today. »

Presnel Kimpembe:

Victory and first goal in Ligue 1 for you tonight. It’s an important moment, isn’t it?
“(Smile) Inevitably, with a good game from the team, it must be said. We knew it was going to be an important game. It was decisive for us. We know that we chained the poor performances a little bit and that it was a big poster today. It was important for us to play a big game, with style and a lot of goals, so we are all very happy. »

You talk about victory with manner: we saw a lot of offensive efficiency and defensive rigor in the production of PSG this evening.
“Yes, we are very happy. We scored a lot of goals and defended well despite this goal in the first half. We would have preferred to keep our goal untouched. The most important thing is to win and to take the three points tonight. »
