Lille-Paris SG 1-1 Lille: David (90th 4) Paris SG: Mbappé (66th, sp)
PSG misses the boat! Four days after securing their qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League, the capital club missed the opportunity to take the lead in the championship, conceding a frustrating draw to Lille (1-1). Dominating for a long time in this clash of the 16th day, the Parisians conceded the equalizer in the last moments of the match. Zhegrova and Dembélé delight Never short on surprises in his starting compositions, Luis Enrique has once again innovated. This time aligning a 3-4-3 with Zaire-Emery in a hybrid role between midfield and the right side. And despite an encouraging start to the match, the Parisians conceded the first chances of this shock. Zhegrova, Lille’s best player of the season, hurt the defense very badly but was unable to target his attempts (15th, 16th). Tossed around on this big highlight, the Parisians got back on track but struggled to appear threatening. Despite a very strong Dembélé on the left, but still clumsy at the finish (21st). Only Vitinha, with a powerful strike, finally put Chevalier to work in the first period (37th). David responds to Mbappé As clear as sterile after returning from the locker room, Parisian domination was finally achieved after the hour mark. Hernandez, suffering defensively in front of Zhegrova, came to lend a hand to his attackers and obtained an indisputable penalty ( 63rd). An offering for Mbappé, very frustrated in the game but cold of realism in this duel with Chevalier (0-1, 66th). With the advantage in their pocket, PSG tried to manage the end of the match, facing the Mastiffs who had been powerless for a long time. We finally had to wait for the entry of David (78th) to see the northern club get the debates going. And after a first duel lost against Tenas (90th 2), the Canadian liberated the Stade Pierre-Mauroy by opportunistically equalizing in the final seconds of play (1-1, 90th 4). Caught on the edge by Losc, who came back two lengths from the podium, PSG nevertheless remains well established at the top of the ranking, with five points ahead of Nice. Luis Enrique’s men, already crowned fall champions, will try to end 2023 on a good note against Metz on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. Before this last meeting, the capital club will be very attentive to the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, scheduled for Monday at midday.
