Paris St. Germain will have to fight hard to win the league game against OSC Lille. Only in added time did Lionel Messi score the decisive goal. Neymar no longer experiences this on the pitch, the Brazilian has to leave the pitch at the beginning of the second half with an ankle injury on the stretcher.
The French soccer champion Paris St. Germain may have to worry about the use of star player Neymar in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 at Bayern Munich on March 8 (9 p.m. / DAZN and in the ntv.de live ticker). In the 51st minute of PSG's 4-3 (2-1) Ligue 1 game against OSC Lille, the Brazilian was stretchered off due to a right ankle injury. Lionel Messi scored the winning goal from a free-kick in added time.
Neymar twisted his ankle after a duel with his right foot at the beginning of the second half. Due to an injury to the same ankle, Neymar missed several games with the Brazilians at the World Cup finals in Qatar. The €222m man covered his face with his hands as he was carried off and shook his head. For Paris it was another setback after the 0-1 draw against Bayern last Tuesday.
PSG initially lost a quick 2-0 lead. Kylian Mbappé (11th) on preparatory work by Neymar and the Brazilian himself (17th) shot out the lead. Bafode Diakité (24th) scored the connecting goal for OSC. Jonathan David (58', penalty kick) equalised, Jonathan Bamba (69') scored to make it 3-2 for Lille. Again Mbappé (87th) and Messi (90th 5) ensured the victory of Paris.
At Bayern, Paris have to make up for a 0-1 deficit from the first leg at the Prinzenparkstadion last Tuesday. As in the 2020 Champions League final, former Paris professional Kingsley Coman scored the decisive goal against his former club. Against Lille, Paris coach Christophe Galtier offered the troika Neymar, Mbappé and Messi in the starting line-up.
