A moment of controversy in the French Ligue 1 as Lionel Messi was substituted for Javier Pastore. The Argentine superstar struggled to make an impact on his PSG debut, but PSG still managed to win 2-1 at home against Lyon.
The psg vs lyon is a match that was played on September 12th, 2018. Lionel Messi was replaced in the starting line-up by Angel Di Maria.
Lionel Messi has gone three games without scoring for PSG.
Lionel Messi made his home debut for Paris Saint-Germain, but he was substituted in the second half as they defeated Lyon to make it six victories in a row.
Signing in the summer In the first half, Messi struck the post and bar with a free-kick and forced a save from Anthony Lopes, but he was not at his best.
He was substituted by right-back Achraf Hakimi with the score at 1-1, and he did not seem pleased to be taken off.
Messi received a wave of applause from his supporters, but not a standing ovation.
The 34-year-old, who left Barcelona last summer, did not stop but spoke briefly with manager Mauricio Pochettino as he walked by him to the bench.
Mauro Icardi, another PSG replacement, scored the injury-time winner in the Ligue 1 game, heading in Kylian Mbappe’s cross.
Lyon took the lead thanks to Lucas Paqueta’s header from Karl Toko Ekambi’s cross.
However, Neymar equalized with a contentious penalty. He seemed to pull back Malo Gusto in the area, but the young Lyon defender was instead penalized and a penalty kick was awarded.
Before squeezing in, Neymar waited for Lopes to relocate.
Neymar, Lionel Messi’s former Barcelona teammate, equalized for PSG against Lyon.
This was Messi’s third appearance for Paris St-Germain, and his third appearance for a team other than Barcelona.
For fitness concerns and because of the previous international break, it took 40 days between joining and making his home debut.
Last month, he made his debut as a second-half replacement in a 2-0 victory against Reims, with both goals coming before he came on.
On Wednesday, he made his Champions League debut in a 1-1 tie with Club Bruges. The much-hyped front three of Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi all began on Sunday, just as they did in that game.
Messi has struck the woodwork on both sides of the goal in Belgium and Paris, and is yet to score in PSG colors.
He displayed a few moments of link-up play with his former Barcelona teammate Neymar, but he still has to work on integrating in with the rest of the squad.
PSG’s next game is a Ligue 1 trip to Metz on Wednesday, when they will try to make it seven victories in a row at the top of the table.
