PSG continues to showcase great football just before the end of 2021. After the victory against Feignies, Mauricio Pochettino's team is focusing on their next match in the Ligue 1 of France against Lorient.
With the return of Lionel Messi, PSG hopes to end the year in the best way possible, as the clash against Lorient will be the Parisian team's last match before welcoming 2022.
When does PSG play?
The match between PSG vs. Lorient will be held at the Stade Yves Allainmat, scheduled for Wednesday, December 22 starting at 15:00 Peruvian time (20:00 GMT).
It is worth mentioning that PSG has impressive stats in the Ligue 1 of France. As the clear leader in the standings, Mauricio Pochettino's team has gone nine matches without a defeat in this competition. In fact, their last loss was on October 3 against Stade Rennais, with a score of 2-0.
One of the players who might make headlines in this match is Kylian Mbappé, as there is a possibility of him leaving for another European club like Real Madrid at the beginning of 2022. Otherwise, the Frenchman will continue with the Parisian team until the end of the season and move to the 'merengue' squad in the middle of the year.
Why didn't Lionel Messi play in the French Cup?
Lionel Messi did not participate in the French Cup match against Feignies due to technical decision. Mauricio Pochettino wanted to give rest to the "Pulga" so that he can arrive in optimal conditions for the last match of 2021 against Lorient.
