PSG found themselves at an early disadvantage against Lille at home. Yusuf Yazici broke the deadlock after just six minutes.
But the capital team did not allow themselves to be put down. Goncalo Ramos equalized in the tenth minute and shortly afterwards Lille’s Alexsandro responded with an own goal. In the 80th minute, Randal Kolo Muani made it 3-1 for PSG, which was the final score of the match.
Worth noting was that Kylian Mbappé, who according to consensus information is on his way to Real Madrid this summer, remained on the bench.
– We didn’t want to take any risks with Kylian. We could have replaced him, he could have played if it was the final. But I think it was smart for him and me to be careful, says PSG coach Luis Enrique, who assures he is available for the Champions League meeting with Real Sociedad next week, to French Canal+.
Against Lille, PSG also played in shirts where all the names were in Mandarin and the reason was to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
In the match, PSG fans also vented their displeasure that the club is about to move from the Parc des Princes. The background is that the municipality does not want to sell the arena to PSG.
“Without PSG, Paris no longer has a prince. Hidalgo (Anne, mayor of Paris) is killing the city and its magic,” read one banner, according to Foot Mercato.
PSG leads Ligue 1, Lille is fourth.
