The Argentina team is now busy with the world cup qualifying matches. Argentina has a match against Colombia the day after tomorrow. But captain Lionel Messi doesn't have time to think about it. He has to get on the field today. There was a sudden lot of interest in PSG's match in the last 16 against nice. Lionel Messi returned to the familiar jersey after a long time. PSG dropped Messi in the number 10 jersey yesterday in compliance with the rules of the French cup. But PSG's known enemy has become bigger yesterday than Messi of the familiar jersey. Lille won the league last season by hanging PSG out. French coach Christophe Galatiere's main role in making a very ordinary team extraordinary was the key. Galatier has joined nicely this season. Last season, PSG could not beat galatier's team in the league. Mauricio Pochettino's team could not beat nice in the league this season. PSG went down against nice in the French Cup at home yesterday. Pochettino brought down a strong team with Messi, icardi, verratti. But once again, galtier's strategy has won. Nice beat PSG 6-5 on penalties after a goalless draw in the scheduled time. There was also a vengeance for galtier. Lille did not lose to PSG in the league last season but lost in the last 16 of the cup. Lille has eliminated the defending champions in the last 16 of the French cup for the new team. Despite recovering from corona, Messi did not go to play the world cup qualifying match for Argentina as he was not fully fit. But coach Pochettino felt Messi was fully fit. Yesterday, he was dropped in the main eleven. He was accompanied by another Argentinian, Mauro icardi in the attack. There was no way to get anhel di maria tomorrow as he left to play the qualifying match. Even in this situation, instead of dropping Kylian Mbappé, the coach has dropped yulian draxler. There is not one player in form, the coach has not kept the other player in the xi. This decision boomeranged. PSG, who have played in seven consecutive French cup finals, could not make it to the quarters this time. Messi, Icardi's attack in front of galtier's solid defense has proved to be blunt. In the first half, Messi seemed lifeless. PSG created the first goal opportunity in the second half. But Marco verratti's shot went over the bar. Pochettino picked up icardi in the 60th minute and brought down Mbappé. PSG's attack has increased after Mbappé's arrival, but his team did not get a goal. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé took the first two shots for PSG in the tiebreaker. They did their job right. Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes wasted the shot at number three. On the other hand, Andy delort also missed out and the two teams have progressed equally. Nicer Dante gave the team a 6-5 lead in the seventh shot in a panenka. It was the responsibility of midfielder Xavi Simmons, who moved to PSG from the Barcelona academy, to keep PSG in the match. But his shot was blocked by PSG goalkeeper marchin bullka.
