(Ligue 1 2022/2023): Highlights PSG - LYON

Paris Saint-Germain aimed to bounce back and stretch their advantage at the top to nine points when Lyon visited Le Parc on Sunday night. Kosevkati's men were hit hard before the international break, losing to Venn two years since Les Vosges-Bleus lost successive games at the capital. Marquinhos back as captain, Lacazette joked Mbappé could take a night off as he tries to catch the flying Parisian in the scoring charts. Laurent Blanc back where he spent three years as a coach winning eight major domestic titles. Seven years on he brought his inconsistent OL. Mbappé appeared to listen to Lacazette's advice, normally not so merciful. 19 goals tied with Jonathan David, Lyon's number 10, two goals adrift. Anthony Lopez back from injury. The goalkeeper doing enough to force the effort wide. Lyon's European ambitions weighs on their Coupe de France semi-final against Nantes midweek, yet they carved out opportunities against a wide open Paris defence. Tygo Mendes showing why he's only two league goals in the past five years. Bradley Barcola, a first half substitute for the injured Amin Saar, lost his footing then Lacazette snuck in. Gianluigi Donnarumma giving away a penalty. 11 goals in his last nine appearances. So the park booing and then cheering as the post denies the number 10. Missing his first penalty at Ligue 1 Uber Eats since the 2nd of April 2017. A huge let off for Paris Saint-Germain and not much to see from Lionel Messi's 50th Ligue 1 Uber Eats appearance. Paris yet to sparkle, yet they've not failed to score in back-to-back league games since September 2020. Garthier said he saw himself remaining on the PSG bench for the next campaign. The signs weren't looking good generally and especially not when Lion finally did forge ahead. A fourth goal of the season for the young star. Tygo Mendes finding Saio Koumbedi, first-time ball across but cool, calm and collected from 20-year-old Barcola. Ligue 1 have never gone on to lose and the youngster is netted and he almost got himself a brace. Four of Lyon's last seven goals have been scored by substitutes, almost another. So often tipped wide by Lopez as an eighth defeat of 2023 in all competitions was later assured. Paris losing consecutive home games without even scoring in Ligue 1 Uber Eats for the first time since 2011-12. A winning return to Le Parc for Blanc ahead of the Coupe de France showdown at Nantes. What now for PSG? Danilo questioning the team spirit. Six points clear, nine games to go.
