Leaders of the day PSG and last-placed Angers met in the most lopsided match of the 18th round of Ligue 1, the first in which Lionel Messi will play for the club side from the position of world champions.
Paris Saint-Germain are top of the table with 44 points from 17 games, but Christophe Gaultier’s side made a poor start to 2023 with a surprising 3-1 loss to second-placed Lance, leaving them just four points behind the leaders.
The Parisians, who thus suffered their first defeat of the season, have the best attack in Ligue 1 with 46 goals, while top scorer Kylian Mbappe is also the league’s top scorer with 13 successes (Neymar is second with 11).
The culmination of the match at the Parc des Princes will be the return of Lionel Messi to the PSG team, now from the position of the world champion, the Argentine will complete the magical attacking triplet together with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
In fact, none of the great three played for Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last week, away to Chateauroux, who won 3-1 in the French Cup.
Angers are in 20th place after 17 rounds with just eight points, seven behind Ajaccio in 16th place, first above the relegation zone (this season four teams will be relegated to Ligue 2 and only two will be promoted, so from next season Ligue 1 will have 18 teams).
Angers have lost their last nine league matches and in their last official match they lost 0-0 and 5-4 on penalties to Starsburg to reach the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
