. The star-studded band of Mauricio Pochettino did not cope with Nantes. He lost 1: 3 away – conceding the first goal in the 4th minute, when Randal Kolo Muani finished a successful counterattack and Moses Simon’s pass.

Barely fifteen minutes passed and PSG was already losing 0: 2 (Quentin Merlin). And until the break 0: 3, because although the Messi-Neymar-Mbappe trio wanted to score a contact goal, they still had other players in the team. More specifically, Ludovic Blas, who played the ball with his hand in his own penalty area and played the X-leg for Nantes shortly before the break, was sure to use Ludovic Blas.
Neymar passed the ball to the goalkeeper
It was not the only penalty kick, because after the break the referee whistled the eleven also for PSG. Even though Mbappe was fouled in the penalty area, he immediately approached the ball. So still the most expensive footballer in the world to hit badly, and even badly. Quite disastrous for someone who cost 222 million euros. Which is a lot. And even a lot – not too much – when we look at the missed penalty in Saturday’s game against Nantes, when Neymar simply passed the ball to the goalkeeper. Anyway, see for yourself:
Let it not be that now we only abuse Neymar – let us note that it was he who scored the goal at 1: 3 right after the break, in the 47th minute. The only one for PSG for which their defeat to Nantes was the second of the season. And it can still be treated as an ordinary accident at work – even for such stars. Because it is enough to look at the Ligue 1 table, where Parisians – who during the week – have as much as 13 points ahead of the second Marseille.
The runner-up has a match with Clermont to play in this round (Sunday, 20.45), but even if he wins, he will still have 10 points behind PSG.
