Beyond his goals in the Champions League, Lionel Messi's present at PSG is still below expectations. La Pulga have yet to score a goal in Ligue 1 and today came out at halftime in a 2-1 win against Lille in the French capital.The one who did appear was Ángel Di María with the winning goal two minutes from time. The southpaw was one of the best in a team that still does not show a convincing team performance.

The first part of Paris Saint Germain was lazy. Those led by Mauricio Pochettino missed Kylian Mbappé, absent due to an ENT infection. The visitor opened the scoring at 31 'with a goal from Jonathan David. Messi participated little in the game and it was shown that he was not 100% physically. Leo was in doubt in the previous one due to a muscular discomfort and directly did not come out for the second half. The medical report that will corroborate whether there is an injury is not yet known.

The one who entered his place was Mauro Icardi, on his return after personal problems of public knowledge. The forward had two clear chances that he could not specify. First a header that came from above and then a heads-up that the goalkeeper, Ivo Grbic, covered well.

Di María pulled the car and assisted Marquinhos for the 1 to 1 after a great overflow on the left wing. He also raised Neymar, key for the 2 to 1 final. At 43 ', Angelito combined with the Brazilian and defined with the quality that characterizes him for the relief of the public in the Parque de los Príncipes.

When some are missing, it is important that their companions appear. And this relay from Angel Di María to Lionel Messi is very evident in the Argentine team. Without going any further, it was he who scored the goal in the final against Brazil, which allowed them to lift the Copa América just over two months ago.
