On behalf of the 25th day of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, PSG travels to Marseille, a few weeks following the last Classic. While the match started quite quietly, with a few chances on both sides, Paris Saint-Germain lost an important player in the first minutes.
Kimpembe out through injury
Nuno Tavares launched well in depth by Malinovisky, took far too long to hit and was caught at the last moment by Nuno Mendes who manages to deflect the ball for a corner. On this occasion, the clearest for Olympique de Marseille, Presnel Kimpembe is injured.
As Nuno Tavares went on goal, the Parisian central defender hurt himself during his run to the right thigh. He quickly got down to the ground and the doctors arrived directly on the ground. The French international seemed to suffer martyrdom in the right thigh and had to leave the field on a stretcher. When leaving the rectangle towards Presnel Kimpembe takes the head with both hands of pain, but also of sadness. Danilo Pereira returned to replace the injured.
A detrimental absence
Even if this injury did not prevent the Parisians from leading to the score 2-0 thanks to the achievements of Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, the absence of Presnel Kimpembe might be a real blow for the second leg once morest Bayern Munich. After the Parisians’ defeat 1 goal to 0 at the Parc des Princes, they will go to the Allianz Arena with great ambitions, because nothing is yet decided in this Champions League round of 16. Even if Christophe Galtier’s men bowed in the first leg, the face they showed in the last minutes can make you believe in a feat. Unfortunately, this trip is likely to take place without a Paris defense framework. In effect, although the severity of the injury and the duration of the defender’s absence are not yet known, he might miss next Wednesday’s clash once morest the Bavarians.
