However, Messi’s goal in the early half, the game remained a tightly contested affair with several twists and turns. In the second half, Dante’s stunning effort nearly leveled the scores, putting PSG on the back foot. The defending champions had goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to thank for as he was instrumental in making a series of crucial saves to keep PSG ahead.
Later in the 76th minute, defender Sergio Ramos stepped up to seal the win with his first goal of the 2022/23 season. The Spaniard scored a crucial header to ensure that PSG clinched a crucial victory.
PSG’s focus now shifts to their upcoming match against second-placed Lens, where they will look to build on this victory and extend their lead at the top of the table.
