It was 95 minutes into the game when Lionel Messi generated a foul at the gate of the rival area. The spirits were not the best in the Princes Park because PSG went from winning 2-0 to Lille giving it back. After the equality of Kylian Mbappethe local team had in the magical left foot of the Argentine star the chance to triumph on the hour and the 30 of the Parisian team did not disappoint.

Messi rubbed the lamp and adjusted the shot against the goalkeeper’s stick Lucas Chevalier. The shot hit the pipe and then inflated the net to the delirium of all the Parisians, in the stands and the rest of the teammates and technical staff of the group. It was a 4-3 victory and celebration for the Ligue 1 leaders.

After suffering the goal of the number 30 of Paris Saint Germain, the Lille goalkeeper told how he saw the execution from his position. “He is 18 meters away, right in the center,” Chevalier said. “I wonder if I should close my open side, or if I should get in the middle so I can get out if he breaks the barrier. I ask for five players. Benjamin André (partner) tells me to put up the barrier on his left side…”continued in the story in dialogue that the newspaper picked up The Parisian.

Immediately afterwards, the goalkeeper does nothing more than describe precisely what Messi did to be able to score something to remember. “He masked his shot as he shoots, closes his foot at the last moment, goes through the mess of players, goes down again… Maybe my placement should have been closer to my position. After that, it’s Messi, huh”he explained between laughs according to the French medium.

Finally, he added: “If you want to score on that side, you have to put it like that. It fits perfectly. If she doesn’t put it in exactly like that, I think I would have stayed with her.”.

Chevalier was not the only one who reacted in a particular way to Messi’s conquest. One of those who could not hide his satisfaction for the Rosario goal that gave his team the victory was the PSG coach. Christopher Galtier joined the mountain of players at the Tricolor and went up to the party. Even he came to give the number 30 a hug, which gave DT air, questioned in recent weeks due to consecutive defeats.
