Paris, October 24 (Xinhua) -- On October 24, Argentine Messi participated in his first French "national derby" after coming to Paris Saint-Germain, but the "Greater Paris" that the main force did not take away a victory, and in the case of one less person, they drew 0-0 with Marseille.

Since joining "Greater Paris", although Messi has scored 3 goals in the Champions League, he has not found a sense of scoring in Ligue 1. In this game, he started at the same time as Neymar, Mbappe and Argentine compatriot Di Maria.

The paris saint-germain and Marseille match has never lacked "gunpowder", and this time is no exception. On several occasions during the match, when the "Greater Paris" players took a corner kick, the Marseille fans in the stands threw debris into the field and interrupted the game.

In the first half, a goal from both sides was cancelled due to VAR intervention. First, in the 13th minute, Neymar's shot caused Perez to be oolong, and the referee ruled that Neymar was offside after watching the video replay. Seven minutes later, Marseille striker Milik scored with a left-footed shot from inside the penalty area, but the referee, after being reminded by VAR, also decided that the ball was offside.

Messi had two chances to close the goal in the first half. In the 25th minute, his close-range header was saved by the opposing goalkeeper and his left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area was slightly offside just before the end of the midfield.

In the 57th minute, Paris full-back Ashraf was sent off for pushing down Yundale and receiving his second yellow card of the match. The "Greater Paris", which fought with one less man, gradually lost the initiative in the following matches, and the siege of Marseille failed to break the deadlock, and the two sides finally exchanged blanks 0:0.

Paris Saint-Germain, despite a draw and a loss in the last two league rounds, still lead the table by seven points after 11 rounds with a nine-game winning streak in the early stage, with Lens, who beat Metz 4-1 at home on the day, in second place in the table.
