good evening everyone plenty of reasons to expect a compelling contest tonight
here on the french capital paris we're at the back defense a warm welcome from lee derrick ray i'm
joined for commentary by the former arsenal and england defender lee dixon and on the menu today
is live action from liga it's paris saint-germain up against marseille well thank you derek the
excitement at the start of any game is almost tangible looking forward to this one the crowd
are up for it players look like they're gonna have a really good go at this game can't wait
in the full back positions and lining up through the middle then attack today is killian bapping
and here's how it looks for marseille wingbacks are important on this setup did you enjoy your
experience of playing at wing badly not at all under bruce rock it's a very very demanding role
as we can see the full backs are exposed both offensively and defensively lots of support
inside them but going forward they need to try and get the ball into the box for the two up front
the drama has commenced here in paris
verasie
and it wasn't a great pass was it
giving the ball away
doing well to keep possession
well they know they need to stop him no foul psg advantage long way out this corner given to psg
the delivery from neymar well still an issue here looks promising this messy
and that sound goalkeeping corner awarded to psg
and now the delivery corner once more
well that was the chance to take the lead and the manager's frustration is there for all to see
fired in by neymar
gives it a go tremendous block
and the timing was perfect ball won
it has gone over the touchline for what will be a throw in the high press was very much on
oh that's a super ball over the top and both hands on it good goalkeeping
well not quite what he wanted to do with the pass
and they could face difficulties here possession one
messi could take the lead
borders loose and second time around he scores
but the keeper left to wonder what his defenders were doing
well as we see there'll be an inquest between keeper and defenders he'll be saying where
were you they'll be saying why didn't you catch it well let's take another look at that girl shall we
so the match has restarted one nil here
exerted but he keeps the ball buy it
spot on with that tackle
lionel messi
now psg moving the ball forward what can they do from here oh a tremendous block
let's see
a good effect of pressure high up the pitch
gay
foreign
and taken away
hakimi
i'm giving the ball away
really effective shielding under pressure
georginio
there is going to be stoppage time but only the one minute
well they could run onto it here and the flag does go up offside
and so the halftime whistle has gone here at the party pass in paris
well marco verratti no surprise stamped his authority on the first half
lee your thoughts well derek you're right he has played well and goals
win games he's been plenty to consider based on what we've seen so far as the second half begins
giving the ball away
fayette papage
another successful intervention running the ball back
not what he was intending bad pass
quiet
missy psg couldn't keep it
now the attack looks promising and dispossessed
lionel messi
messi
well he's lost it
buy it it's with milik and taking it away well they have the ball once more
neymar fearsome paper
leonel messi it's with paradise
overcook that one very much run of a mill as saves go
no he's gone for goal an opportunity to add to their advantage but
not taken was worth an effort wasn't it too much space was given to him he takes the shots on
yes
idrisa gay
useful looking ball and it's gone in the teams separated by two goals now
you cannot say they don't deserve it
well here it is again the through ball is perfectly timed it causes habit and still with
lots to do he unleashes a very powerful effort gave the keeper little chance lovely goal that was
well no wonder he's delighted they've been bossing this game up to now a second goal for them here
inside the last quarter of an hour
could reduce the deficit terrific block there
andresa gay
now with messi well not the boss he had in mind
inside the final five minutes now
the forward thrust from payette now milik it's with camera
he's got the right idea with that boss and still a chance something to worry about here and now
arkady ushamilik there will be one minute added on at the end messi
here's some paper neymar
neymar preferring the inside room goalkeeping
of the very highest order oh it was a great shot as well great shot great save
it's neymar's corner and a goal if there were any remaining doubts that will settle the issue
well here it is again it's a good delivery from the corner and what a great finish as well
good connection with the ball leaving the goalkeeper absolutely no chance fantastic goal
well there's nothing better for a manager when a plan comes together total satisfaction
and that will do it for this game anyway and it goes into the history books as a victory
for paddy sagerman lee what did you think of their performance well being potent up front
gives you a great chance in any game and there was certainly that today sharp clinical and exciting
to watch for sure well this man has given us plenty of reasons to dwell on his performance
this evening lee well that was a really really good performance from the lad and a goal to boot
really delighted with that goal i'm sure he is
