The 23rd round ended last Sunday. In the last installment of this series of matches, Lille defending the LOSC title faced the runner-up – Paris Saint-Germain. Theoretically, it promised to be a great, even spectacle, but unfortunately the home team is only a shadow of the previous season’s team and they did not cope with the star team of Mauricio Pochettino at all.
The start didn’t look too bad, as Lille was still able to respond with a Sven Botman hit after conceding a goal, but that was all the hosts could do. The rest of the match belonged only to the players who scored four more goals and finally triumphed 5: 1.
Ben Arfa is magic again. A beautiful assistance from an experienced French
Coach Joceyln Gouvernnec, contrary to appearances, has one reason to be satisfied after this meeting. It is the somewhat forgotten Hatem Ben Arfa. The experienced Frenchman, after a six-month search for the club, joined the team of French champions in winter and it seems that he is in quite a good shape.
Known for his great technical training, the footballer showed on Sunday a real show of his skills in the goal of Sven Botman. The French ridiculed several stars of the opposing team with a spectacular dribble and played very well to the Dutchman in the penalty area, who confidently placed the ball in the net.
The recording of the amazing action immediately circulated on social media and delighted the fans. There was hope that perhaps the French will be able to bring out his dormant potential that will help Lille this season. So far, the 34-year-old has played two matches in the new club, in which he has just scored one assist. However, it was only in the match with PSG that he appeared from the first minute.
