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

A record-breaking 11th Ligue 1 Uber Eats title to celebrate. Yet thoughts with PSG goalkeeper Sergio Rico with Clermont at Le Parc. The Spanish goalkeeper in a stable if serious state after a riding accident. Lionel Messi lining up for his 75th and final outing in Paris Colors. Plenty changes afoot in the capital. Will the coach be one of them? Lionel Messi wanted to go out with a bang. Two goals and four assists in meetings with Clermont. He looked to improve on that. The former PSG goalkeeper Maury Diaw hamming his effort away. Mbappe on the move but a great hand from Diaw to push it out to safety. The goalkeeper never made a top team appearance for his first club, Paris. But in the 16th minute of the game it was apt that Sergio Ramos would score. Another leaving this summer. But also the minute in which the fans paid tribute to Sergio Rico. A former Sevilla player helping sending the message to Andalusia. Well just four minutes later a penalty. That's Rafa Kimi bundled over. Who else but Kylian Mbappe. 2-0 to Paris with Sergio Rico on his back. A World Cup winner with his 29th goal and would seal a fifth straight top scoring crown. But from then on it was a Paris nightmare. Marco Verratti with a short pass. Johan Gasstian sliding in to make it 2-1. Four goals this season for the coach's son. The two previous in 2023 ended in victories. And then Warren Zaya Emery's hand, not his shoulder, gave Clermont the chance to level. Stepped up. He had a goal refused in the fourth minute. He smashed wide from 12 yards. A let off but not one the champions would heed. Mehdi Zefan on the case. A first goal for Clermont. His previous two league goals in Rennes colours. And from 2-0 up 2-2. But since the beginning of April Clermont had been the second best league team with 25 points. The powers that be at PSG. Plenty to ponder. But then Kylian Mbappe hit top gear. It looked like two World Cup winners were going to combine to send an Argentine away with a prize. Neymar looking on as he fluffed his lines. Much better from Messi that time. But Diaw in inspired form. Paris hadn't lost at home in Ligue 1 Uber Eats after being 2-0 down since February 1996. And yet suddenly just after the hour mark. It was the distinct possibility. Well after a goal ruled out. A penalty missed. Key with the goal. His 10th of the season. Only a second away from Clermont. Roy Diaw then hamming out Messi as he tried for a 33rd and final goal. It wasn't to be. PSG champions for the 11th time. And yet falling to a 3-2 defeat to Clermont. The first time they'd ever taken a point off Paris. An eighth place finish. PSG the 50th match for Galetier. Could it be his last?
