The game
In the 28th minute of the first half, Sérgio Ramos brought Under down in the penalty area and the referee signaled a penalty. In the penalty kick, Alexis Sánchez opened the scoring for Olympique.
At 39 minutes, PSG responded with Neymar, who kicked low, from outside the area. The ball hit the crossbar and went out. Already in the additions, the Brazilian, who was wearing the number 11, since he gave up the 10 to Messi, took a corner kick for Sergio Ramos to head and leaves everything the same at the Velodrome.
In the second half, at 11 minutes, Malinovskyi took advantage of Sánchez’s shot and sent a bomb into the angle, with no chance for Donnarumma, putting the Marseille team ahead of the scoreboard again.
In addition, Pau López made a beautiful save in a shot by Nuno Mendes. The ball hit the crossbar and was left to Sergio Ramos, who pushed it towards the goal. The Spaniard, however, was offside and, therefore, his attempt did not count.
