The presence of Argentine Lionel Messi, recent winner of the Ballon d’Or, was controlled by the local defense.
For the second consecutive day, after drawing 0-0 against Nice, the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) he punctured again and signed against Lens (1-1), with a Keylor Navas mistake and a bit on the horn of Georginio Wijnaldum in a duel in which Lionel Messi Nor did he celebrate his Ballon d’Or with a decisive performance.
Since he received the award, Messi has not convinced. Before Nice, a party was expected that did not arrive. And, a few days later, in Lens, again the best version of the Argentine was not seen, who still at half throttle had one of the clearest chances of his team with a shot at a stick in the first half.
Lens, oblivious to these media struggles to award awards, played at their own pace, at their own pace, to await their chance. And, after another clear of Di María, already in the second part, he took advantage of his opportunity. It was provoked by Keylor Navas, who at 64 minutes was not able to stop a distant shot from Seko Fofana that went straight to his hands. Inexplicably, he missed the ball and Lens took the lead.
Pochettino reacted by taking Mbappé onto the pitch, which was a shock. But, before, Fofana, a nuisance throughout the second act, could do the second, but the stick saved PSG from the sentence. Without the appearance of the brand new Ballon d’Or, which has not just started this course, it was Mbappé who threw his team on his back and in the discount served the draw to Georginio Wijnaldum, who sweetened the puncture of his team with the goal of tie.
