Messi scores for PSG against Angers to move them over the unfortunate cellar occupants.

After winning the 2022 World Cup, Lionel Messi made his long-awaited return to PSG as the French powerhouses took on basement-dwelling Angers at Parc des Princes. He suitably commemorated the occasion by scoring the team's second goal in a 2-0 triumph.

Throughout the whole 90 minutes, Angers posed little of a danger to PSG. The hosts had a few of nervous moments, but they were mostly at ease. Hugo Ekitike's goal barely five minutes into the game provided PSG the comfortability it would later experience for a large portion of the contest.

Messi scores on his comeback to propel PSG above the unfortunate cellar occupants in the PSG vs. Angers match.

After winning the 2022 World Cup, Lionel Messi made his long-awaited return to Paris Saint-Germain, and he did so in style by scoring the second goal in the team's 2-0 victory over bottom-dwelling Angers.

Throughout the whole 90 minutes, Angers scarcely troubled PSG and posed little threat. The hosts experienced a few nervous moments, but overall they felt at ease. Hugo Ekitike's goal barely five minutes into the game gave PSG the comfortability it would later enjoy.

It was obvious that PSG manager Christophe Galtier had instructed his team to just exceed the limits when absolutely required while dealing with a little injury issue. The home crowd began to whistle in response, indicating that PSG had little motivation to advance. With 20 minutes remaining, Angers felt encouraged because they were still behind by just one goal. However, Messi's goal, which withstood a VAR review, put an end to any hopes of a comeback.

The victory increases PSG's advantage at the top of the French league standings to six points, with Lens drawing Strasbourg in other Ligue 1 action today. With 0 points since September, Angers has remained at the bottom of the standings.
