Saudi Trip: Photos that landed Messi in trouble with PSG discovered
Lionel Messi's recent trip to Saudi Arabia has forced PSG to punish him with the Argentine suspended for 2 weeks without pay.
Troyes tried to salvage something from the game through a goal in the 83rd minute when a perfect lofted pass from Papa Ndiaga Yade found Xavier Chevalier who jumped highest and steered a close-range header into the right side of the goal. His effort was both strong and precise, and Gianluigi Donnarumma had no chance of stopping that.
PSG didn't hold back but instead went for the killer shortly after Troyes got a goal with the third goal in the 86th minute. The goalkeeper made a save but the ball bounced off him to Fabian Ruiz, who found himself some space inside the penalty area and unleashed an unstoppable shot which bounced off the left post into the net.
This win puts PSG six points ahead of Lens in second place with just four more games to go as they edge closer to defending the title.
