Ligue 1: PSG-Saint-Etienne live – RMC Sport

Mbappé withdraws for Neymar!

After a not completely serene exit from Bernardoni, Mbappé recovers the ball on the left side and sets fire to the sixteen meters of ASSE. His pass back to Neymar is released at the very last moment by the defense of the Greens.

Nordin’s cross strike!

The Stéphanois continue on the counter-attack to try to get a second goal. Launched into the area, Nordin tries a cross shot in a very wide position, which Donnarumma pushes back in front of him again. Nobody had followed, fortunately for Paris.

Mbappé, Messi and Neymar

The three combine by circulating the ball very quickly, in a small space, to take depth. The Frenchman is finally a little short at the end of the action. Bernardoni grabs the ball.

Offset free kick for Paris

Messi’s strong cross is pushed back by Bernardoni, who takes no chances with his fists.

Paris reacts timidly

The Parisians are of course trying to go back on the attack immediately so as not to let doubt set in, again this evening. But the through pass to Messi doesn’t allow the Argentine to strike. In the aftermath, Gueye enters the surface … and falls without having been touched by an opponent, sliding.

BUUUUUUUUUUUT! BOUANGA OPENS THE SCORE!

AND HERE ARE THE GREENS REWARDED! BOUANGA CONCLUDES AT POINT-BLANK, 1-0!

On a new Parisian hesitation to raise, Danilo turns around… and loses the ball against Bouanga. The Stéphanois continues his action and scores coldly against Donnarumma. The Greens quite logically lead to the Park!

OOOOH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SAINT-ETIENNE!

Incredible highlight for the Greens! After two magnificent dribbles from Bouanga, who eats Kehrer then Marquinhos, the attacking midfielder puts the ball in front of goal… which Donnarumma can only push back in front of him. In the aftermath, the Stéphanois hit on goal three times. And are countered, each time.

Danilo’s head!

On a corner played by two by PSG, Neymar deposits the ball in front of the goal. Danilo is the first to fall and cannot place his recovery well… while Kehrer arrives launched behind his back.

savvy mangala

The defender of Sainté already receives a yellow card after a late tackle on Nuno Mendes, who had passed quickly on his side. The referee decided to take action immediately.

Neymar strike!

The Brazilian manages to accelerate and makes a nice call in the penalty area, after finding support. Neymar is served and finds himself facing Bernardoni, but completely unscrews his attempt.

Paris not serene in the face of the dry cleaners

Pascal Dupraz’s players have really decided to get PSG very high, as soon as possible, and pose concerns for the Parisian recovery.

PSG takes risks

Very bad pass from Kehrer, who tries to find Kimpembé instead … The Greens are very close to the interception, full axis, at sixteen meters. Kimpembe takes no risk and swings… for a corner.

First corner for the Greens

The Stéphanois are already the first to stand out, thanks to Boudebouz who went deep. It is well taken over by the defense of PSG. The corner gives nothing.

Let’s go !

The Parisians kick off the meeting. Will Pochettino’s players show the desire to do much better than last weekend? Will ASSE achieve a big blow in its quest to maintain?

Players’ entrance

It’s time, the two teams are on the lawn with the refereeing corps to proceed to the toss before the kick-off of this Saturday evening poster. A banner was also unfurled after the events in Ukraine in recent days.

Dupraz: “The right to be very good tonight”

On Canal +, before kick-off, the ASSE coach went back on his words to try to motivate his troops … and by promising a team that will not be content to defend at the Park tonight. “I just know how to say ‘come on guys!, everyone knows it… To be honest, I told the players during the last chat that, of course, Paris Saint-Germain are going to be very good tonight , but (that they) have the right to be very good too. All I want is for us to see a very good match and for Saint-Etienne to play it. To play him is of course to defend against a team like this but also to do everything to cause them problems.”

The teams are getting ready

The players are warming up on the lawn of the Parc des Princes, now twenty minutes from kick-off.

Pochettino: ‘Make things better’

In French in the text, at the microphone of Canal +, the PSG coach insisted on the expected reaction of his players after the Nantes match and the work done this week in this direction. “It’s always difficult after defeats but it’s been a good week of work and discussion. We tried to improve things. I believe in my players. I believe in everything we do, to improve games and the team. I hope to see a good attitude and a good performance tonight.”

Khazri ASSE side package

Despite his return to training at the weekend and his presence in the ASSE group, Wahbi Khazri finally forfeited for the Greens and was not entered on the score sheet by Pascal Dupraz.

The last for Mbappé before Madrid

The providential scorer of PSG, obviously holder this evening alongside Neymar and Messi, will be absent next weekend on the lawn of Nice, suspended. Tonight’s match will therefore be his last before Santiago-Bernabeu on March 9.

The Saint-Etienne composition

A priori we start on a three-way defense with Camara

Bernardoni – Camara, Mangala, Nadé – Sacko, Gourna, Youssouf, Kolodziejczak – Boudebouz – Nordin, Bouanga

The composition of PSG

The Neymar-Messi-Mbappé trio aligned

Donnarumma – Kehrer, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes – Danilo, Gueye, Wijnaldum – Mbappe, Messi, Neymar

Hakimi’s private PSG

For the occasion, Mauricio Pochettino will be able to count on his stars Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

As expected, Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera and Sergio Ramos are not in the game. But, surprise, Achraf Hakimi does not appear there either. “The medical staff leave Achraf Hakimi to rest for 48-72 hours following a muscular reassessment of the quadriceps this morning”, explains the club.

PSG in the hard in the championship, Saint-Etienne is green again

In Ligue 1, Paris have won only 5 of their last 10 games (four draws, one loss).

For its part, Saint-Etienne remains on four games without defeat (three wins and a draw).

Saint-Etienne, one of PSG’s favorite prey

Paris have won 42 of their 80 confrontations against Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 (25 draws, 13 defeats), counting more success than against Metz in the top flight.

PSG are undefeated in their last 25 games against ASSE in all competitions (19 wins, 6 draws).

What face for PSG?

From one match to another, the Parisians do not seem to be able to display the same desire and consistency. After the resounding victory against Real, even if it took a feat from Mbappé, the Parisians cracked against a huge Lafont on the lawn of Nantes. Tonight, Mauricio Pochettino’s players will therefore have to be wary of the Greens, over-motivated by the arrival of Pascal Dupraz (3 wins and a draw in L1) in their fight to maintain.
