After missing out on the Ligue 1 title last season, Paris Saint-Germain upgraded their squad in the offseason, hoping to regain their dominance in the domestic arena and also hope to succeed in the Champions League, although the coaching performance of manager Pochettino did not meet expectations, but the Greater Paris still established a huge lead in the standings, it can be said that the league championship is already in their pocket, and in the recently concluded Champions League quarter-finals, Paris also won the promotion in its own hands with Mbappe's last-minute victory over Real Madrid, the galactic battleship! Back in Ligue 1, Paris Greater bout Nantes away in the twenty-fifth round of the league, the latter temporarily ranked tenth in the standings, it can be seen that the gap between the strength of the two sides is still very obvious, and in the first direct meeting of the two teams in the season, Greater Paris laughed to the end, which is also the reason why the fans were optimistic that they could win before the game, but after the start of the game, Nantes, who played at home, with a sharp counterattack, even scored 3 goals in the first half to see the hope of revenge. Although Neymar scored shortly after the start of the second half, there was no earth-shattering reversal in the end, and Paris lost 3-1 to Nantes, suffering the second defeat of the season in Ligue 1!
The biggest signing in the offseason of The Greater Paris is to get the free agent Messi, so that he and Neymar, Mbappe formed a MNM combination that is the envy of the entire European football world, the last game to defeat the Galaxy, it was after Neymar came off the bench, created a unique opportunity for Mbappe, but in this game with Nantes, the three of them were not in good shape, they all wasted a great one-knife opportunity, and the single knife ball inserted in front of the goalkeeper in the middle of the opening 8th minute was defused. In the 19th minute, Mbappe's one-handed shot from the left was also saved by the goalkeeper, and in the 27th minute, after Mbappe broke through on the left, he crossed Neymar in front of the goal, whose shot was firmly pressed under the attacking Nantes goalkeeper.
In stark contrast to The Greater Paris' repeated wasted opportunities were Nantes' efficient attacks, in the 3rd minute Mu'ani and his teammates played a pass to help the team open the record, in the 16th minute Merlin received a return from his teammates, the kick extended the score to 2-0, the first half of the injury time, the Greater Paris offseason visa-free Wijnaldum, the defensive handball in the box, the referee gave the home team a penalty, Barras hit the penalty, Nantes returned to the dressing room with a 3-0 lead.
After a bad first half, Paris finally woke up, the second half just started, they narrowed the point gap, in the 47th minute Messi won the ball in the front of the Nantes penalty area, wearing a crotch assist Neymar on the left, the Brazilian king shook off the angle and then shot the goal, helping the Ligue 1 giants to chase the score to 1-3, the last time Messi and Neymar completed the connection was in the La Liga that beat Celta five years ago.
In the 58th minute, Kylian Mbappe relied on the speed advantage to eat Nantes defender Apia, who kicked the French supernova when defending in the penalty area, the referee decisively blew the penalty, but unfortunately Neymar's penalty angle was too positive and there was no power, and was firmly pressed under the Nantes goalkeeper, the last Champions League knockout match with Real Madrid, Messi also lost the penalty created by The Emperor, through the slow motion, it can be seen that after Neymar missed the penalty, Mbappe came forward for the first time to comfort the Brazilian king, showing the temperament of the team leader.
Wijnaldum, who was thriving in Liverpool, after joining Greater Paris, his personal performance has declined significantly, and this game is full of holes in the defensive end, he has also become the object of criticism from fans after the game, the performance of this game in Greater Paris and the team that defeated Real Madrid in the last game are completely judged by two people, which is also the reason why many fans joked after the game, Nantes This is the reason for the lessons for the Galaxy Battleships!
