Psg-Lilla 2-1: Di Maria and Marquinhos score the winning goals in comeback

Many difficulties in the first 45 minutes, then the reaction in the second half that avoids the fool at the Parco dei Principi. Two interventions by the Italian goalkeeper were also fundamental

In the spring it was over 1-0 for Lille who had earned those three points in the final sprint, closing the championship at the top, +1 from PSG. This time the Emir of Qatar’s club did not give gifts and consolidated its leadership in the standings with a success, however, suffered and recovering. Not with Messi, employed in the middle of the service, replaced in the second half due to a muscle discomfort, but with Marquinhos and Di Maria, to overturn David’s advantage. However, the Donnarumma parades are also fundamental.

Lilac goes first in goal. And it is by no means deserved, because after a willing start, with a brilliant Neymar in dribbling, Galtier’s team sets about producing what they do best. That is to play compact, paying attention to the point of the restarts. Like the first with three touches that brings Yilmaz to the diagonal shot from the left after a few seconds, and that only an excellent Donnarumma, finally starting after two rounds on the bench, neutralizes in a corner.

Psg’s first shot on goal arrives only at 23 ‘, and after having risked going under even at 14’, pardoned by Ikoné placed in front of Donnarumma by Yilmaz, but the conclusion ends at the bottom. The PSG shooting was therefore said: Di Maria’s low shot was too weak, triggered by Messi. But the former blaugrana, in doubt on the eve, does not produce what was hoped for by the media and fans and also shoots a favorable free-kick from the edge (45 ‘). It was the right opportunity to equalize the score opened by David in the 31st minute, and at the end of a choral action, which resulted in the insertion of Yilmaz on the left who mocked Kehrer and served inside his colleague. Right advantage, against a PSG with confused ideas.

Paper

Without Verratti injured like Mbappé, in the second half Pochettino plays the Icardi card, in place of the bruised Messi. A move that bears no fruit as the former Inter captain devours the same header (28 ‘) and doubling diagonally (40’). To unbalance the game in favor of the hosts is instead the tactical change, with the transition to a three-man defense that frees Di Maria and Neymar. The two champions raise the center of gravity and multiply the opportunities. The 1-1 comes in the 29th minute with Marquinhos, but the serve is from the Argentine, inserted on the left of the area by Neymar. And the Brazilian is also the support in the opposite sector for the diagonal, well calibrated, of Di Maria for the encore at 43 ‘. A success on which, however, there is also the Donnarumma brand, who avoids the worst at PSG by denying the goal to both David (2 ‘) and Yilmaz (12’). Even so then the games are won.
