PSG vs Lille: 5 Classic Ligue 1 Matches
IMAGO / ZUMA Press Wire
PSG host Lille on Saturday in Ligue 1, looking to maintain their remarkable 23-game unbeaten run this season after defeating Lyon 3-2 last week. Their opponent this weekend, Lille, has pulled off giant killings in the Champions League this season, beating both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and could prove to be a threat to this record. It will be the 96th time PSG and Lille have faced each other in Ligue 1. Here are five classic league matches between the sides. Lionel Messi scored a dramatic 95th-minute free kick to secure the three points in Neymar's last appearance for PSG. PSG led 2-0 through goals from Mbappe and Neymar, with Diakité pulling one back for Lille before the break. Then came the turning point. Neymar was stretchered off five minutes after half-time, in great pain after landing awkwardly on his ankle. The Brazilian required surgery and it proved to be a tragic end to his PSG career. Jonathan David and Jonathan Bamba then transformed the match, putting Lille 3-2 up before the 70th minute.
