Paris Saint-Germain cannot find the fault against OL, this Sunday at the Parc des Princes at the end of the 29th day of Ligue 1. And the Lyonnais have already had several opportunities. Follow the match live with commentary on our site.
21:21 – Messi lacks accuracy
On a counter well led by the Parisians, Lionel Messi escapes on the right side and avoids a desperate tackle. But behind, in the area, the Argentinian cannot get back on his left foot to strike and ends up losing the leather in contact with Thiago Mendes.
21:18 – Lyon: Barcola replaces Sarr, injured
Hard blow for Amin Sarr. The Swedish striker from OL, who arrived at the club this winter, asked to leave, hit in the thigh. He is replaced by the young Bradley Barcola.
21:16 – Mbappé stays on the ground
Kylian Mbappe remains on the ground after a muscular intervention from Kumbedi along the sideline on the side. Mr. Letexier did not whistle anything but ended up coming to the news with Kylian Mbappé, who finally got up.
21:13 – What a comeback from Marquinhos
After another missed pass from Bitshiabu, OL quickly played against and Lacazette was found in the box. He eliminates Pereira on his hook before striking but is countered at the very last moment by Marquinhos, author of a decisive comeback.
21:10 – Mendes misses the target!
OL get their first chance in this game! After recovering the ball very high, the Lyonnais combine well and it ends with a throw-in from Sarr for Mendes who arrives launched… but the Brazilian opens his foot too much and misses the Parisian goal!
21:09 – The free kick does nothing for OL
The free kick obtained by Lacazette on the right side does absolutely nothing in favor of OL. The Parisian defense easily dismisses this first Rhone opportunity.
21:07 – Yellow card for Bitshiabu
Bitshiabu makes two big mistakes in moments. First, a loss of ball on a strong pass which allows OL to go against. Then a gross foul on Lacazette, who had given him the slip. Logical yellow card for the young Parisian central defender.
21:04 – Mbappé misses the target
Again found at the entrance to the surface, as often since the kick-off, Mbappé combines this time with Messi who gives him a delicious discount in a heel. In a closed angle, the French striker stings his ball above Lopes, which is quickly released but it goes just wide of the goal.
21:03 – Lovren intervenes well in front of Mbappé
Kylian Mbappé is well found by Renato Sanches in the center of the field and manages to turn around before striking but Lovren tackles to counter this powerful shot which started well.
21:01 – PSG monopolizes the ball
The Parisians put their foot on the ball at the start of the game and OL are having a hard time getting out of their own half of the field for the moment.
20:58 – Vitinha misses his shot!
What an opportunity for PSG from the start of this meeting! Kylian Mbappé fixes the defense at the entrance to the area before shifting Vitinha to the right, forgotten by the Lyon defense. But the Portuguese was slow to strike and ended up stealing his ball… well above Lopes’ goal.
20:55 – Francois Letexier launches the PSG – Lyon match!
The kick off for this meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais, counting for the 29th day, was given by the referee of the meeting, in Paris.
20:50 – The players enter the pitch
Under a beautiful tifo displayed in the Auteuil bend on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the K-Soce Team, the dominant group in the CUP (Collectif Ultras Paris), the PSG and OL teams enter the lawn of the Parc des Princes! Kick-off is imminent.
20:44 – Lyon can overtake Lorient
In the event of victory this Sunday evening against PSG at the Parc des Princes, Olympique Lyonnais has the opportunity to climb ahead of Lorient to 9th place in the Ligue 1 standings. The Lyonnais would thus return to 8 points from fifth place occupied by Lille, who beat the Lorient this Sunday (3-1) during the 29th day of L1.
20:38 – PSG: Galtier is wary of OL
Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier doesn’t think OL won’t play this Ligue 1 matchday 29 game to the fullest, despite the Coupe de France semi-final scheduled for Nantes on Wednesday night: “Obviously that we look at the calendar and that we know that three days later, they have an important match in the Coupe de France. A victory in this competition would give them access to Europe, knowing that it is an objective of the side of OL. But I can’t imagine Laurent coming with a second team for Wednesday’s match, he said at a press conference on Friday. PSG-OL is a poster, a classic of our championship, with very good players who will want to express themselves. It’s a great exhibition, a match that everyone is waiting for. I can’t imagine players being restrained against PSG.”
20:32 – Paris won in the first leg (0-1)
During the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain won at Groupama Stadium in Décines against OL with the smallest of margins (0-1), on September 18, 2022. Lionel Messi had scored the only goal of the match (5th) on a service from Neymar, who will not be there this evening on the lawn of the Parc des Princes since he has had ankle surgery and will be absent until the end of the season.
20:26 – A high risk ranked match
While 700 Lyon supporters are expected at the Parc des Princes this evening, the meeting of the 29th day of Ligue 1 between PSG and OL worries the authorities, who have classified the meeting as high risk (level 4 out of 5). This means that the authorities fear violence and more generally public order disturbances. In the Auteuil stand, the K-Soce Team, the main group of ultras of the Collectif Ultra Paris (CUP), should also celebrate its 15th anniversary with a large tifo and many smoke bombs.
20:20 – Kick-off delayed by 10 minutes
The kick-off of the meeting between PSG and OL, counting for the 29th day of Ligue 1, is postponed by 10 minutes from the initial time. The coach of the Lyon players was delayed because it could not pass under a bridge, as explained by Ludovic Giuly, member of the technical staff of Les Gones, at the microphone of Prime Video. The kick-off will therefore be given at 8:55 p.m.
20:15 – OL-Blanc: “It’s one of my favorite stadiums”
Seven years after his dismissal from Paris Saint-Germain, which he coached between 2013 and 2016, Laurent Blanc will find the Parc des Princes for the first time as coach of an opposing team. A reunion that he appreciates: “It’s one of my favorite stadiums because it was the stadium of the national team, let’s not forget, before it was the Stade de France. We played there many times and won, even if it was not always the case, he explained at a press conference on Friday. It’s part of the good memories, even if I experienced painful defeats there.
20:09 – OL: White opts for a 5-man defense
As for OL, only Malo Gusto is lacking in the Rhone squad and Laurent Blanc was therefore spoiled for choice to compose his eleven this evening. Anthony Lopes is back in goal after missing the last three Ligue 1 games. The Lyon coach has opted for a 5-man defense for this match, while Lepenant and Mendes are preferred to Tolisso or Caqueret in the middle . OL’s starting XI: Lopes – Kumbedi, Diomandé, Lovren, Lukeba, Tagliafico – Lepenant, T. Mendes – A. Sarr, Lacazette, Cherki.
20:03 – PSG: Renato Sanches and Bitshiabu holders
For this meeting against Lyon, PSG coach Christophe Galtier is obviously deprived of Neymar and Kimpembe, who will not play again this season, but also Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele and Sergio Ramos. Renato Sanches is making a comeback as a starter, while young defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu is taking advantage of the absences to start in defense. PSG starting XI: Donnarumma – Hakimi, D. Pereira, Marquinhos, Bitshiabu, N. Mendes – Vitinha, Verratti, R. Sanches – Mbappe, Messi.
19:57 – OL, thinking of the Coupe de France..
For its part, Olympique Lyonnais seems to have given up on European qualification via Ligue 1. OL will play much bigger on Wednesday in Nantes in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France but Lyon coach Laurent Blanc does not does not however intend to let this meeting slip away, he who is making his comeback at the Parc des Princes as a coach, almost seven years after his dismissal by PSG in the summer of 2016.
19:51 – Great opportunity for PSG
The 29th day of Ligue 1 ends in style this Sunday evening with a clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais. PSG have the opportunity to take advantage of the draw conceded by OM on Friday against Montpellier (1-1) to increase their lead at the top of the standings. The Parisians remain on a pitiful defeat at home against Rennes (0-2) before the break but can take nine points ahead of RC Lens (2nd) and OM (3rd).
