For a new date in Ligue 1 in France, PSG did not play a good game and suffered more than necessary, but turned it around at the end and beat the always complicated Lille with a tight 2-1. Jonathan David opened the account for the visiting team, while Marquinhos and Ángel Di María turned it around for the Parisian team, which remained at the top of the championship.

After the muscular discomfort he suffered during the week, Lionel Andrés Messi started at PSG, but only played for a while since at halftime he was replaced by Mauro Icardi. It is not yet known if he took it out to take care of the discomfort, but the truth is that Mauricio Pochettino became a trend on social networks again for taking Messi out in an important match.

Everything seems to indicate that Leo came out to take care of the injuries, but this decision of the Argentine coach made the fans angry, who strongly criticized him on the different platforms. However, and in order to appease the turbulent waters, Angel Di María, and Mauricio Pochettino came out to defend their compatriot and emblem, explaining that the change was entirely as a precaution, and had nothing to do with their football performance, since their potential It is huge and can change the face of the team from one minute to the next.
