PARIS :A late Mauro Icardi strike earned Paris St Germain a last-gasp 2-1 home victory against Olympique Lyonnais with Lionel Messi making limited impact on his Parc des Princes debut on Sunday.
Messi, in his third appearance for the capital side, hit the woodwork but failed to score and was substituted in the 76th minute. Coach Mauricio Pochettino opted for an attacking line-up with Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and Angel Di Maria in front of a two-man midfield featuring Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera while Gianluigi Donnarumma started his second Ligue 1 game after Keylor Navas started in the Champions League.
It spurred PSG back into action and Neymar, who was closer to his best than in any other game this season, was brought down in the box.
