Yesterday, PSG got a comfortable win at the Camp Nou, greatly diminishing Barcelona's chances to go through in the next leg. Despite Messi scoring a penalty and creating a great chance for Dembélé shortly after, which wasn't converted, Mbappé was quick to equalize the game, and then more efforts from him and Kean were enough to settle the game 4-1 for Paris Saint-Germain. Messi's stats were: 1 goal, 1 SOT (2 in total), 2 dribbles, 3 key passes, 1 big chance created, 4 ground duels won, 1 foul received, 1 tackle, 1 long ball, 1 cross, 42 passes and 66 touches, which was enough to make him the second-best player in the game behind Mbappé.
The result could be seen from the beginning, seeing how PSG did against Barcelona's defense in the first minutes of the game, but after Messi converted his penalty, Dembélé's goal right after could have been crucial to preventing the loss that Barça suffered afterward. And this was the home game, so the away game will probably be even worse.
Next game is against Cádiz, and the priority once again shifts to securing at least a 2nd place finish in the league. But until then, see you in the next blog!
