At 2:45 a.m. Beijing time on April 4, the 30th round of Ligue 1 ushered in a focus battle: Ligue 1 supremacy Paris Saint-Germain hosted the weak team Lorient.
In the current Ligue 1 standings, Greater Paris leads with 65 points in 29 games, 9 points ahead of the second-place Marseille. Lorient has 28 points in 29 games, ranking 16th in the Ligue 1 table, one round of the same points less than Clermont, who is 18th in the relegation zone, with only the goal difference dominant, and the relegation pressure is not small.
In the campaign, The Paris started 433, Mbappe, Neymar and Messi formed a forward trident, midfielders Guye, Paredes and Danilo Pereira, four defenders Nuno Mendes, Marchinios, Kimpembe, Ashraf and goalkeeper Donnarumma. This is already the strongest start in Paris, and the total value of these eleven people is as high as 650 million euros.
Lorient started with the same 433, with three strikers Cone, Ouattara and Murphy. The total value of the starting eleven is 29.8 million euros.
After the game began, the two sides attacked and defended each other, Lorient did not fear Paris, in the 4th minute, Lorient's attack, Donnarumma attacked outside the box to break the siege.
In the 12th minute, Messi's clever pass, Mbappe transitioned, Neymar single-handedly faced the goalkeeper with a kick and the ball was scored! Greater Paris leads Lorient 1-0.
In the 28th minute, Guyer crossed, Mbappe dribbled into the box, swung past the defender and fired a shot, and the ball went in again! Greater Paris leads 2:0.
In the 41st minute, the injured Paredes was replaced by Wijnaldum, and the former Liverpool midfielder had been silent for a long time.
In the second half, Lorient, who was behind the score, continued to attack the Greater Paris. In the 49th minute, Marquinhos was snatched inside the penalty area and Enzo Lefi's shot was deflected.
In the 56th minute, Ashraf's return pass was wrong, Murphy cut off and hit the goal directly, and Donnarumma was powerless to prevent the ball from entering the net. Lorient pulled a goal back.
In the 67th minute, the big Paris front steal, Ashraf took the ball and passed it to Mbappe, who broke through and hit the goal. Greater Paris 3:1 Lorient.
In the 70th minute, Ashraf made another mistake and kicked the ball to the feet of the opposing player, but was saved by Donnarumma in time.
In the 72nd minute, Real Madrid star Ramos came on and replaced Marquinhos.
In the 73rd minute, Mbappe played with Mendes, crossed from the bottom line, and the follow-up Messi hit the goal. Greater Paris extended the score to 4:1.
In the 90th minute, Greater Paris counter-attacked, Mbappe went straight, Neymar scored, and Greater Paris locked the score at 5:1.
This game can be called the most normal battle played by the NMM Trident of Paris, Neymar scored twice, Messi scored a goal, Mbappe scored 2 goals and 3 assists, and all three of them gained. If you play like this at the Bernabeu, can you be overturned by Real Madrid?
Of course, the biggest gain is still Mbappe, who single-handedly scored 5 goals, in front of the former world's best and the world's third, the younger Mbappe declared with strength: I am the strongest! My time has come!
The 23-year-old Mbappe, who has played in 323 games in his career, scored 213 goals and 102 assists, does not know how long Ronaldo's records will last. Of course, Mbappe must also be wary of the future "enemy of life" Haaland, who is younger and more efficient in scoring goals.
