Messi gets the ball in the middle, dribbles past a couple of defenders before finding Di Maria on the left. Julian Alvarez gets the ball inside the box on the right. He links Messi up but three defenders surround him to clear the ball He puts in a shot but miscues it and the defenders gang up to clear it Di Maria tries his luck from long range but the shot is just not up to his standards. Guerra stops Messi yet again as he jumps and gets a faint touch on the ball as it brushes past the corssbar That would’ve been a fantastic way to achieve 800 career goals for the PSG man but it is what it is! But the latter fails to convert it on the volley. Fight for possession heats up near the half line as both teams struggle to find a breakthrough. He gets the ball near the 30-yard mark, three defenders converge in front of him, he tries to evade them but all he can do is put a short pass towards L. Huge appeal for a penalty but the referee thinks otherwise A curling left footer that crashes on to the top right corner as Guerra looks helplessly.
