PSG came in full attack strength for the day today. So with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. Still, the Parisians had to chase in the first half. Danilo Pereira was easily put off the ball after which Bouanga was able to take advantage: 0-1.
Then Messi and Mbappe thought it was time to stand up. The Argentinian freed Mbappe who was able to beat goalkeeper Bernardoni with a central shot. Here the final piece of Saint-Etienne did not look too good.
Immediately after the break, Messi once again took on the role of declarant, Mbappé shot in from across the corner. Messi will have 6 assists in 2022. No one does better in the 5 biggest leagues.
‘I can do that too’, Mbappe must have thought. The Frenchman still came out with a frivolous assist, outside of your foot. Danilo Pereira was able to make up for his mistake by knocking in the 3-1 marbles. The score could still go up, but Neymar hit the post. Wijnaldum’s shot met the same fate.
