PSG Lose Again as Strasbourg Win 2-1
Paris Saint-Germain’s poor form in Ligue 1 continued as they suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Strasbourg in Round 32. This marks PSG’s second consecutive league loss after falling to Nice and drawing with Nantes. PSG lose again but remain top of the table with 78 points.
Early Mistakes Cost PSG Dearly
PSG started the match with several reserve and young players, with Luis Enrique opting to rest many of his stars. Strasbourg capitalized on the lack of cohesion. A corner kick in the first half led to an own goal by PSG’s Lucas Hernandez, followed by a strike from Felix Lemarchal in added time (45+3).
Barcola’s Goal Not Enough
Just after halftime, Bradley Barcola gave PSG hope by scoring a solo effort in the 46th minute. Despite increased pressure and chances from Ramos, Mbaye, and Doue, PSG couldn’t find the equalizer. Strasbourg goalkeeper Durde Petrovic played a key role, making crucial saves in the final minutes.
Strasbourg Back in UCL Race
With this win, Strasbourg climbed to 57 points and now sit fourth in the Ligue 1 table, behind Nice only on goal difference. The victory over PSG reignites the battle for Champions League qualification.
