Neymar and company reunited with a win. After two games in which victory had eluded them, both in the league and in the Champions League, for the return of Lionel MessiParis Saint-Germain won 1-0 Le Classique in Marseille at home.

From the Parc des Princes the locals faced a tough match against a tough opponent. Even so, Paris had the first say, right through the Argentine, who scored twice Paul Lopez, blue and white goalkeeper In fact, the Spaniard would later be the star of the night, denying the goal to Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.

Messi had a clear at 34 when he finished off a beautiful free kick with his left foot that just rattled the crossbar of the visitors’ goal. Already in the agony of the first time, the French striker combined with the Brazilian and only then were they able to open the scoreboard and celebrate.

Already in the second half, Marseille went a little more on the attack, but PSG resisted. Terrible lack of Samuel Gigot in Neymar earned him a red card, leaving his team one down with 20 minutes to play. At this point PSG gave the ball to the visitors, betting on the counterattack and closing the spaces, taking advantage of their numerical superiority.

There is no time for more Paris return to winning ways, consolidate their lead in the league and remain unbeaten. He has 29 points, three more than the amazing Lorient, who is second, and Lens closes the podium with 24, moving Marseille to fourth place.
