Nantes is brutally efficient, scoring twice with two chances to score. Bitter for the Parisians, who were actually clearly game-determining. How are the hosts reacting?

Tooor for FC Nantes, 2:2 by Jean-Charles Castelletto
There’s the balance! Nantes got stronger in the last few minutes and are rewarded. A corner from the right is extended by Andrei to the far post, where Castelletto finally heads the ball in from close range to level.

Almost the 2:2! Mollet gets the ball on the left and swings inwards, where he shoots directly. The ball flutters properly, causing Donnarumma to slap unhappily forward.

21:33
PSG is by no means shocked and is now increasing the number of strokes again. Messi tries a long-range shot from about 18 yards in the center that just sizzles over the crossbar.

Tooor for FC Nantes, 2:1 by Ludovic Blas
Goal for the guests! And it comes out of nowhere. Blas is not attacked on the left side and penetrates to the penalty area. From an acute angle, he simply fires the ball into the short corner, where it hits next to the left post. Donnarumma is completely surprised and doesn’t look good at all.

Nantes just doesn’t come into the game. They try to continue to concentrate on defending and hope for counterattacks. PSG is very clarified and has not allowed absolutely anything so far.

The atmosphere in the stands this evening is fantastic. Many supporters of Nantes have also traveled to the French capital and make themselves loudly heard acoustically.

Messi chips the ball over the opponent’s chain and sends Mbappé on his way. But Centonze is also fast and tends to be on the ball at the end, so that the striker cannot get to the ball.

PSG aren’t put under any pressure at all and continue to combine happily across the pitch. Nantes barely manages to get out of their own half.

Tooor for Paris Saint-Germain, 2-0 through Jaouen Hadjam (own goal)
PSG is ice cold and elevated! Again it goes over to the left through Nuno Mendes, who shoots the ball at goal from a tight angle. Lafont is there and can save the ball to the right. There Hadjam and Mukiele slip into the ball – after all it is the Nantes defender who unluckily puts the ball into his own goal.

The Parisians have more of the game and that’s why the lead is by no means undeserved. How does FC Nantes react to this early setback?

Tooor for Paris Saint-Germain, 1-0 through Lionel Messi
Messi puts the hosts ahead! Nuno Mendes has plenty of space on the left and delivers a sharp cross to the first post. Messi gets the ball with his pick and pokes the ball past Lafont into the left corner – his 13th goal of the season.

Paris pushes the guests deeper and deeper into their own half and increases the pressure. Nantes defended with man and mouse in their own penalty area.

21:09
Now PSG is also showing for the first time in front of the opposing goal. Nuno Mendes brings a cross from the left into the penalty area, where Mbappé finishes free. However, his attempt is too misplaced, allowing Lafont to parry the ball forward. In any case, the flag goes up in the end: Mbappé came from offside.

21:05
The guests have the first corner in play: Mollet brings the ball from the left with great force in the direction of the penalty spot. There Marquinhos jumps the highest and heads the ball out of the danger zone.

21:03
As expected, PSG took control of the game in the first few minutes and slowly felt their way forward. Nantes is in its own half with two tightly staggered chains and is narrowing the spaces.

PSG have to do without superstar Neymar this Saturday, who is still absent through injury. Despite the Bayern game next week, the top players like Mbappé and Messi are in the starting XI and will not be rested.
