Bordeaux smelled blood from an injured PSG and started the match in Paris scorching. A long shot resulted in a header from a corner, which narrowly missed Keylor Navas’ goal. The Costa Rican replaced the unfortunate Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The midweek boom did not seem to have been fully processed in the French capital. PSG didn’t really come into play until Lionel Messi ignored the booing of disgruntled fans and found Wijnaldum on the edge of the box. The Dutchman made a good pass to Mbappé, who did not hesitate.
The Paris supporters had not forgotten Neymar and Messi’s failures against Real Madrid after the opening goal. The South Americans always got the full blow when they got to the ball.
So the duo decided to show their worth. Messi found Hakimi, who presented the Brazilian with an indispensable opportunity. The little mage still hadn’t proved his point, so he did his very best to claim an important part in the 3rd hit as well. Compatriot Paredes finished well.
The pole prevented Lionel Messi from putting the icing on the cake himself, but his team’s Champions League hangover has been flushed anyway. PSG again has a 15-point lead over first pursuer Nice.
