Lionel Messi will no longer be a player for Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. Nevertheless, he has not stopped striving to achieve the goals that the team has set for this year. Proof of this is the goal he scored on Saturday against Strasbourg in the 37th round of the French Ligue 1.
When 59 minutes had passed at the Stade de la Meinau, Kylian Mbappé shone with a good pass to Lionel Messi inside the box. As seen in the images, the Argentine striker finished with a precise shot next to the right post to score the team's 1-0 goal led by Christophe Galtier.
Enough to be champion. A draw was enough for them. That's why Kevin Gameiro's equalizer in three minutes on the field - he came on in the 76th minute and scored in the 79th minute, after a rebound by Donnarumma from a shot by Sanson - did not cause any nerves in the Parisian team. Nor did it provoke an offensive. No worries, aware that their final victory was only a matter of time.
Incompetent in this edition of the Champions League, out of the French Cup, and leading throughout the league competition in their country, but without the unquestionable condition that is presupposed to the difference of their brilliant stars, their apparent team, and their unattainable budget, the title - the eleventh in their history in the French league, the fifth in the last six seasons - was an obligation for them. Failure would have been resounding if they hadn't won it.
PSG vs. Strasbourg: what's to come
After the draw against Strasbourg at the Stade de la Meinau, PSG has been crowned champion of the French Ligue 1 and is already thinking about the end of the season against Clermont at Parc des Princes. The match will be played on Saturday, June 3rd, starting at 2 pm (Peruvian time) with the broadcast on ESPN and STAR Plus.
On the other hand, Strasbourg will play as a visitor against Lorient on the same day and at the same time as PSG. Already saved from relegation, Gameiro's team is preparing to close the season in the best possible way.
