The desire to always strive for more, regardless of what they have already achieved, is one of them. 84 mins to kick: PSG midfielder Vitinha has the immense privilege of playing with Lionel Messi at the club level and Cristiano Ronaldo at the international level. The PSG lineup is nearly as expected, with Danilo replacing the injured Kimpembe in defense, just as he did midweek in the Champions League. Otherwise, PSG have collected six wins and two draws, with one of those draws ending in a trophy as PSG won the 2020 Coupe de France final on penalties after a 0-0 full-time result. 25 mins to kick: All three of the PSG attacking monster are in great form, but it's Neymar who has started this season head & shoulders above the rest. PSG with their toughest Ligue 1 test thus far, with the three-headed attacking monster in spectacular form. Galtier was part of the Lyon coaching staff that won their last Ligue 1 title in 2007/08 under then manager Alain Perrin behind the goal scoring of current Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.

It's a brilliant one-two between Messi and Neymar at the top of the penalty area, and it's Lionel Messi to finish it off with a low curler the ball past Lopes, the first shot of the match. 84 mins to kick: PSG midfielder Vitinha has the immense privilege of playing with Lionel Messi at the club level and Cristiano Ronaldo at the international level. Otherwise, PSG have collected six wins and two draws, with one of those draws ending in a trophy as PSG won the 2020 Coupe de France final on penalties after a 0-0 full-time result. The Frenchman got by Nuno at the far post to meet a cross, and his header had plenty of room to sneak past Donnarumma, but instead he pokes it wide of the post. It's a surprising move, as Tolisso was solid in the first half, helping Lyon present a stiff test to the PSG midfield as the half drew on. The Frenchman got a very tight-angle shot — from nearly the same spot as Messi earlier in the half — and he looks to nutmeg the goalkeeper. The loss of Verratti is a brutal blow in midfield, especially after the departure of Leandro Paredes. He was swarmed at the top of the Lyon box a few minutes prior, and replays showed he came out of the tussle holding the back of his leg. Add in the Verratti injury, and it was a recipe for a typical PSG collapse. The goal is GAPING and somehow he puts his first-time shot in range of Lopes who makes a stunning save, leaping from his spot at the near post. 75th min: Lyon makes a double change, with Tete removed in favor of Rayan Cherki, while Jeff Reine-Adelaide comes on to take the place of Maxence Caqueret.

Lionel Messi grabbed the only goal as Paris Saint-Germain returned to the Ligue 1 summit with a 1-0 victory over Lyon.

Sergio Ramos then bundled the ball into an empty net from close range, but was flagged for offside. “However, there are now demands on Peter to get results, because we have changed the squad and the mindset, lots of things have been done with his agreement. 4’ - Goal!
