The Ligue 1 clash between Paris St Germain and Olympique Lyonnais started 10 minutes late after the visitors' bus could not go under a bridge on Sunday.

[The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.](https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html) April 2 (Reuters) - The Ligue 1 clash between Paris St Germain and Olympique Lyonnais started 10 minutes late after the visitors' bus could not go under a bridge on Sunday. The match started at 2055 local time (1855GMT).

PSG conceded a sloppy second half goal and created little by means of response to mark a dour 1-0 loss to Lyon.

By the end of it all, Anthony Lopes barely had a save to make as Lyon rather comfortably saw off a toothless PSG attack. The home side pushed for a way back into the contest, with Messi getting more involved. But PSG had some looks of their own, too, with Kylian Mbappe and Vitinha both missing from close range.

Bradley Barcola scored the only goal of the game as Lyon beat PSG 1-0 at the Parc des Princes as Ligue 1.

PSG are keeping Lyon in their own half and stopping any of their counter attack attempts. 88 - PSG PILING ON PRESSURE The Parisian's win a corner after Nuno Mendes' cross is blocked. After the wave of PSG pressure subsided Lyon managed to get themselves into the game and create chances of their own. Anthony Lopes comes out to close down the angle and Mbappe can't keep his shot on target. Bradley Barcola netted his fourth goal of the season and looked good throughout the game. Barcola now has two goals and two assists in his last three Ligue 1 games.

Rodrygo claimed another assist in the second half when Marco Asensio played a one-two pass with the Brazilian forward before firing home and Eden Hazard created the final goal as he pinched the ball from a loose pass and found Lucas Vazquez. The 35-year-old completed his hat-trick when he adjusted his run into the six-yard box to turn on the spot and scoop a Rodrygo cross that was behind him to score while his back was towards goal. Benzema scored his first with a diving header from a Vinicius Jr cross while narrowly avoiding a collision with the far post and the Brazilian also created the second with a simple pass for the French striker to score from the edge of the box.

It is not necessarily down to Messi and any declining form but more a reflection of where PSG are currently at -- they are badly in need of an overhaul and youthful rejuvenation. The team can no longer even do that against the likes of a far-from-vintage OL with domestic hegemony rapidly disappearing in the rearview mirror with any realistic hopes of Champions League success. The legendary Argentine's current deal ends this summer but based on recent showings, going no further is best for both player and club at this point in what has never been more than a lukewarm relationship.

Moussa Dembélé then tested Donnarumma a minute after coming on for Lacazette (70'). Lacazette should have made it 1-0 with a penalty towards the end of the half, but after sending Gigio Donnarumma the wrong way his shot hit the post before Johann Lepenant fired high on the rebound (39'). PSG thought they should have had a penalty for a Dejan Lovren handball at the end of the half, but referee François Letexier waved play on (45'+2) and it was goalless at the break.

"Of course, Barcelona and the place for Lionel Messi belong and I hope that something happens. He has scored goals in 2023, he has got assists.

“Paris’ problem is when the No. Messi tries very hard, they didn’t all work out; but around him, the other players also need to do their jobs.” Messi’s arrival at the Parc des Princes was supposed to be the missing piece that would help PSG finally win the Champions League, the trophy the club’s Qatari owners crave the most.

It is all they have left to play for. There is no suggestion PSG will listen to offers for Mbappe this year, but the future of Galtier is very much up in the air after an underwhelming first season in charge. As a consequence, PSG's apparent march towards a record 11th French title -- and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership -- has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left.

But a return to Barcelona is not going to be a cakewalk with the Catalan club still in the middle of a financial crisis.

I'm happy to see him in the French league. "But the boos last time didn't help. A return to Barcelona on a free transfer is not going to be a cakewalk with the Catalan club still in the middle of a financial crisis. But his failure to inspire PSG against Bayern in the Champions League has now put serious questions marks over his future in Paris. After his return from the World Cup in Qatar where Argentina famously beat France in the final, Messi received a warm welcome at his French club, allaying fears of a hostile reception. A week after being feted by his adoring countrymen in Argentina during two friendly matches organised to celebrate the World Cup triumph in Qatar, Lionel Messi has been at the receiving end of whistles and jeers in Paris.

Paris Saint-Germain are “not a football club” and the whistles being aimed at Lionel Messi have become an “insult to football”, says Emmanuel Petit.

He’s the magician with a wand, it’s up to the players around him to make an effort.
