Ligue 1: Troyes come from behind to claim a 2-2 draw against PSG
The hosts looked on course for a routine win when Marquinhos turned in Angel Di Maria’s excellent cross to open the scoring after five minutes, with Neymar doubling the lead from the spot 20 minutes later after Erik Palmer-Brown clumsily felled Kylian Mbappe.
But Troyes were soon gifted a route back into the game when Ugbo intercepted Nuno Mendes’ terrible pass to fire into the bottom-left corner after half an hour.
PSG went close to re-establishing their two-goal advantage when Lionel Messi side-footed against the post, only for Neymar to be ruled offside when smashing home the rebound.
Ligue 1: Neymar and Marquinhos scored early on
The visitors punished another PSG error when Presnel Kimpembe hauled down Renaud Ripart after the interval, allowing Tardieu to execute an audacious panenka to level the scores, before Neymar saw another goal chalked off after Mbappe’s foul in the build-up.
Marquinhos sent a firm header wide and Messi crashed a long-range shot against the bar as the hosts chased a late winner, only for the disciplined visitors to claim a point at a frustrated Parc des Princes.
What does it mean? PSG drop rare home points
While PSG remain unbeaten in 21 Ligue 1 home games (18 wins, three draws), they have now gone two home matches without a win for the first time since doing so between February and April 2021 (three consecutive defeats).
The result will do little to quieten the discontent around Pochettino’s team, with the Argentine under severe pressure despite wrapping up PSG’s 10th Ligue 1 title last month.
What’s next?
PSG travel to Montpellier for their penultimate outing of the Ligue 1 season next Saturday, while Troyes host Lens on the same day.
