Paris Saint-Germain’s recent struggles continued with a 1-0 home defeat to Lyon, marking their second consecutive loss. Even before the game began, some PSG fans expressed their frustrations by whistling when Lionel Messi’s name appeared on the big screen during the starting lineup announcement. Alexandre Lacazette missed a penalty in the first half, and Bradley Barcola’s goal in the second half secured Lyon the three points. PSG struggled to threaten the visiting goal throughout the match.
Additionally, Lens’ 1-0 victory over Rennes and Marseille’s 1-1 draw with Montpellier has narrowed the point gap, putting both teams just six points behind PSG in the Ligue 1 standings. The domestic title, which PSG had hoped to secure, may slip from their grasp.
The contrast between the recent adulation Messi received during his return to Argentina for friendlies and the fans’ reaction on Sunday must have been disheartening. Messi’s arrival at Parc des Princes was expected to be the missing piece that would help PSG achieve their dream of winning the Champions League. However, since Messi joined, PSG has only won Ligue 1 last season, a title they likely would have won even without him.
Messi has contributed 34 goals in all competitions this season, with 18 goals and 17 assists, making him the team’s second-highest contributor behind Mbappé. PSG coach Christophe Galtier refused to solely blame Messi for the team’s failures, stating that the other players also need to step up.
As PSG faces a crucial week, including a match against unbeaten Nice and a home game against Lens, the team’s performances will define their season. After being eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich and losing two of their three matches since, PSG’s lack of focus on other competitions has become detrimental to their overall performance.
It’s clear that PSG cannot rely solely on Messi and Mbappé to unlock difficult situations. The whole team needs to step up and contribute in order to achieve success.
