In an exciting match on Saturday, PSG emerged victorious against Metz with a score of 3-2, reclaiming the top position in Ligue 1 just days ahead of their Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo. The match, part of the league’s 16th round, saw Gonçalo Ramos, Quentin Ndjantou, and Desiré Doué each finding the back of the net.
PSG’s head coach, Luis Enrique, chose to rest several key players in preparation for the upcoming final, starting the match with Nuno Mendes, Doué, and Kvaratskhelia on the bench. Despite this, the team managed to establish a 2-0 lead in the first half. However, the defense, featuring Zabarnyi and Willian Pacho, struggled to maintain control, allowing Metz to close the gap later in the match.
In response to mounting pressure from Metz, who nearly equalized in the final minutes, Enrique brought on more experienced players, including Kvaratskhelia and Barcola, to strengthen the lineup. This strategic move paid off, as PSG managed to hold on for the win despite the intense late-game pressure from their opponents.
The anticipation builds as PSG gears up for the grand final of the Intercontinental Cup, set for Wednesday (17) at 2 PM (Brasília time) at Ahmad bin Ali. Fans are eager to see if PSG can carry this momentum into the final and secure another title for the club.
