With two minutes on the clock, Messi received it from Soler and took a risk from outside the area, sending it close to the Nice crossbar. The home team arrived well with Thuram, who finished from the edge of the area also close to Donnarumma’s goal. Minutes later, Nuno Mendes launched into the area and Danilo headed it, hitting the post and then Schmeichel saved it.

At 25, finally, Lionel Messi scored the net. The Argentine received it from Nuno Mendes, in the middle of the area, and, at first, sent it to the goal. In the final straight, Nice almost tied, but saw Donnarumma shine. At 42 minutes, Thruam crossed to Pepe, who finished face to face with the Italian, who defended. Three minutes later, the PSG goalkeeper saved Moffi’s dangerous header.

In the second half, Brazilian Dante, from Nice, almost tied the game. After launching in the area, the defender sent a volley to the PSG goal, hitting the crossbar. The ball dripped over the line and still hit Donnarumma’s right post and did not enter.

At 31 minutes, PSG extended the scoreboard. Messi took a corner kick in the area and Sérgio Ramos went up to head the goal to make it 2-0.
