The post-Champions League knockout months are always a strange time at Paris Saint Germain.
With key players and the manager all expected to depart this summer, including two of the goal scorers here, this season has been no different. A run of three draws prior to their trip to Montpellier had really given the impression that this season had become a procession for this group. In the picturesque town of Montpellier, however, the players did give the extremely discontented PSG supporters something to sing about a game away from the summer break.
Two goals from Lionel Messi set PSG on their way to an easy victory. PSG have blown two goal leads in their previous two games, but here Angel Di Maria’s effort after 26 minutes assured there was no danger of another advantage being squandered.
Kylian Mbappe’s penalty on the hour mark, a well-taken effort considering how long he was forced to wait, confirmed PSG of their first win after three frustrating draws.
