The French suffered by not having the captain of the Argentine team against Lorient.

Paris Saint-Germain faced its penultimate game in the Ligue 1, prior to what will be the break for the Qatar World Cup. The tournament leader visited Lorient without the presence of Lionel Messi, who has an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, and although is not a serious injury, it still scared millions of Argeninians.

One of the elements that suffered Leo's absence was Kylian Mbappe. 'Donatello' could not be understood in the best way with Hugo Ekitike, the Argentine's replacement. In fact, in some moments of the game he looked fed up wiht the younf french striker, who was not very accurate on his passes.

The team led by Christophe Galtier, who remains undefeated since assumed the position, continues with its almost perfect path in Ligue 1. PSG consolidates itself at the top of the championship, but suffered more than expected due to the absence of the highest winner of the Ballon d'Or (7). 

Messi could not be taken into account as a precaution and Kylian Mbappé, who was accused of wanting to impose conditions, regretted not being able to share the offensive with the current Copa América champion. In the last games they understood each other perfectly and the controversy over the Frenchman's selfishness was eliminated.

Lionel Messi's numbers this season: 

Lionel Messi became the main Parisian figure this season. He has 12 goals and 14 assists between Ligue 1, French Super Cup and Champions League. It is indisputable for Galtier, who has praised the South American striker on more than one occasion, who has his sights set on the World Cup in Qatar, where Argentina will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland.
