Controversy with Messi when he was substituted: he left upset …

PSG 2 – O. LYON 1

The first ownership of Leo Messi in Paris has left one of the images of the season. The Argentine star was being the best player on his team this Sunday against Olympique de Lyon, but Pochettino decided to replace him in the final stretch in a change that almost no one understood. Messi, upon reaching the band, omitted his coach, who had to go to greet him.

The substitution supposed something inexplicable for the Park of the Princes, that had enjoyed the quality of Messi during all the party. The Rosario was able to score twice, but a brilliant Lopes and the crossbar prevented him. He did not stop asking for the ball throughout the game and was a constant source of dangerous plays.

The change, by Achraf, causing Pochettino to go to defense of 3 centrals, did not prevent the Parisian team from taking the victory of the Parc des Princes. Icardi, who also entered in the last minutes, took advantage of a great center from Mbappé to score with a header and put a 2-1 that makes the one who was, last season, runner-up in Ligue 1 even more leader.
