PSG suffered two injury setbacks as they came from behind to beat Lille

Paris Saint-Germain managed to get back to winning ways on Sunday thanks to early goals from Mbappé and Neymar and an epic strike from the French star minutes from time, with Leo Messi saving Galtier's side with a 94th-minute free-kick as they beat Lille 4.-3.

However, PSG finished the game with a bad feeling, without the dominance of possession and with the bad news of injuries to Neymar and Nuno Mendes.

Half an hour into the game, Nuno Mendes had to leave the Parc des Princes injured after a chance collision in the home area with Bamba, an action that the VAR even reviewed for a possible penalty.

Mendes joins Marquinhos and Achraf on the sidelines in defence at a key moment in the season.

After the break, injury woes struck the home side again. On this occasion, Neymar sprained his right ankle in a violent manner after a sequence of numerous fouls and shoves in the same play.

The Brazilian star tried to get up and continue. However, despite his efforts, 'Ney' had to leave the Parc des Princes pitch on a stretcher.

In the end, PSG managed to pull off an epic comeback in a match that reached the point of absurdity, with director of football Luis Campos practically jumping on the pitch to reproach the attitude of his players.

It is an image that highlights the free fall in which the French team finds itself, that despite taking the three points, everything seems negative.
