The results of the last Paris Saint-Germain matches were far from what the team wanted, so the tension is evident in the atmosphere between the players, and a small bomb exploded on Saturday during the training session.
This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain visits Marseille in a match that may determine the identity of the French League champion, as the two teams compete for the title this season.
Paris Saint-Germain lead the table with 57 points after 24 matches, while Marseille have 52, so a win would put them within striking distance of top spot.
Likewise, a win for the visitors would give them a huge advantage to grab the top spot in the latter part of the season.
So far in 2023, PSG have lost a number of matches that hurt them in the standings and take the comfortable lead they achieved at the end of 2022.
At the start of the year, Paris lost to RC Lens (1-3) and Rennes (0-1) and suffered another defeat against Monaco (1-3) two weeks ago.
Also earlier this month, PSG crashed out of the French Cup by losing to Sunday’s rivals, Marseille (1-2), so the match will be far from a walk in the park.
In the training session of the French team yesterday, Saturday, the Portuguese star, Vitinia, knocked down the Argentine star, Lionel Messi, to the ground, provoking the former Barcelona player, who did not hesitate to say something to his teammate.
According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, Messi quarreled with Vitina and his teammates immediately went to separate the players.
L’Equipe said about the quarrel between the players: “The Argentine star could hardly bear Vitinha’s interference in the training and did not stop anything after that until a clash broke out between them.”
Obviously, the incident did not escalate, but it is another sign of desperation and bad mood in Christophe Galtier’s team.
