The game was going at super slow speed with almost tyrannical dominance of PSG. Already MessiAccustomed to going very fast all his life, still feeling like a foreign body in Paris, he also seemed slow. It was not a false impression because it is where he would not want to be. He entered the game little by little without being able to follow the huge trail that Mbappé projected, who left an endless catalog of technical gestures that scared Florentino Perezlocated in the box of the Parc des Princes next to Al-Khelaifi, who left said that the relationship with Madrid is non-existent. Normal.
“I don’t hide it, we hardly have any relationship with Madrid. I’m not going to remember what happened. I believe in affordable football for small clubs, they don’t think the same,” the PSG president told Canal + France, hurt because you want to take Mbappe (“he is the best player in Europe”, Ancelotti affirmed after the 1-0) for free in five months, while Leowho was weightless on the rainy Parisian night, ran into the perfect moment at game time.
“We had studied quite a few Messi penalties. Both at Barça and here. He had shot three to the right, all crossed, then I played along the line. I was a bit lucky that he shot there”

A clear penalty from Carvajal to Mbappé served him as the right occasion. But Messi, in the most earthly version of him, the one that has haunted him since he changed his shirt, abandoning Barça’s shirt much to his regret, shot without much precision from 11 meters.

He had to go to Paris for nights like this. To win the Champions League, a title that has eluded him for almost seven years, since Berlin-2015. And that penalty was the most direct shortcut to reconcile in Europe after dismal seasons. But failed. “We had studied quite a few Messi penalties. Both at Barça and here.
