Messi and Neymar combined again late in the game, this time the Argentine slipping the Brazilian through for a chance, but Thiago Mendes made a last-ditch block (79'). Playing in one of the two the No.10 positions with Neymar for company and Mbappé up ahead, Messi has been more concerned with creating chances than scoring them this season, but he took his goal with his custom aplomb and was only a goal-line clearance away from a brace. PSG were at full strength but for the suspended Presnel Kimpembe, and they surged into the lead inside the first few minutes when Messi and Neymar played a one-two on the edge of the box reminiscent of their Barcelona days, before the Argentine steered home his fourth goal of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats season (6').

It's a brilliant one-two between Messi and Neymar at the top of the penalty area, and it's Lionel Messi to finish it off with a low curler the ball past Lopes, the first shot of the match. 84 mins to kick: PSG midfielder Vitinha has the immense privilege of playing with Lionel Messi at the club level and Cristiano Ronaldo at the international level. Otherwise, PSG have collected six wins and two draws, with one of those draws ending in a trophy as PSG won the 2020 Coupe de France final on penalties after a 0-0 full-time result. The Frenchman got by Nuno at the far post to meet a cross, and his header had plenty of room to sneak past Donnarumma, but instead he pokes it wide of the post. It's a surprising move, as Tolisso was solid in the first half, helping Lyon present a stiff test to the PSG midfield as the half drew on. The Frenchman got a very tight-angle shot — from nearly the same spot as Messi earlier in the half — and he looks to nutmeg the goalkeeper. The loss of Verratti is a brutal blow in midfield, especially after the departure of Leandro Paredes. He was swarmed at the top of the Lyon box a few minutes prior, and replays showed he came out of the tussle holding the back of his leg. Add in the Verratti injury, and it was a recipe for a typical PSG collapse. The goal is GAPING and somehow he puts his first-time shot in range of Lopes who makes a stunning save, leaping from his spot at the near post. 75th min: Lyon makes a double change, with Tete removed in favor of Rayan Cherki, while Jeff Reine-Adelaide comes on to take the place of Maxence Caqueret. Unfortunately, he was a gimpy mess by his withdrawal in the 64th minute, holding his knee and unable to continue.
