Renato Sanches lets fly at the end of a chance created by Kylian Mbappe, but his Portuguese international teammate dives to the left full-stretch to make the stop! Nuno Mendes pulls down a ball from Lionel Messi, and when he sends a cross to the front of net, it clearly hits the arm of Lyon defender Dejan Lovren. Anthony Lopes made a big save moments before that as well, and Lyon had a few good chances in front of net midway through the half.

It is not necessarily down to Messi and any declining form but more a reflection of where PSG are currently at -- they are badly in need of an overhaul and youthful rejuvenation. The team can no longer even do that against the likes of a far-from-vintage OL with domestic hegemony rapidly disappearing in the rearview mirror with any realistic hopes of Champions League success.
