Fireworks, before the start, to celebrate the trophies of the two champions, but Pochettino’s team does not go beyond the goalless draw
Messi’s seventh Ballon d’Or was not enough to guarantee PSG victory over Nice. Perhaps more effective was Donnarumma, awarded yesterday by France Football as the best goalkeeper of the year, and protagonist in at least a couple of situations. And so we missed the opportunity to fully celebrate the two champions who presented their trophies with lots of fireworks, before the kick-off.
Suffering
–
Nice takes the field a little intimidated in the compact 4-4-2, formulated without the striker Gouiri, in order not to give space to the home stars. The PSG thus confiscates the ball (70%) but without becoming really dangerous. Apart from a conclusion by Mbappé, insidious in front of Dante, but which Benitez rejects in two halves (27 ‘). Pochettino’s 4-3-3 suffers from the lack of connections between the French champion and Messi. This is how Donnarumma must perform, first on Dolberg who seeks the corner from the edge, deflected for a corner (9 ‘), and then raising Delort’s close header, well served by Lotomba from the right (32’).
Buoy
–
The second half of the PSG is different, at least the first 20 ‘in which Messi and Mbappé look for each other and find, also with the support of Verratti, taking over from the willing young Ebimbe. Benitez again imposes himself on Di Maria, served by Mbappé, and then on a diagonal by Mendes (6 ‘). And he is later pardoned by the aiming errors of Mbappé (20 ‘) and Messi (39’). Icardi wasted his last attempt in recovery, arriving late on the Frenchman’s left serve. The PSG collects a point. Three rounds from the halfway point, it could be enough to become the winter champion, keeping Marseille at a distance, at -12 but with 4 games to play.
