Lionel Messi scored an injury-time free-kick to spare Paris Saint-Germain’s blushes in a madcap game against Lille.
In a remarkable showing at the Parc des Princes, the star-studded PSG side appeared to be on the way to a fourth straight defeat after conspiring to throw away a 2-0 lead. But Kylian Mbappe equalised late on before Messi stepped up to curl a free-kick in via the inside of the post to end a three-game losing run.
The remarkable turnaround came after a bizarre appearance from sporting director Luis Campos, who left his seat in the stands to come down to the touchline alongside manager Christophe Galtier where he began screaming at the players and match officials in staggering scenes. And Les Parisiens' comeback came without Neymar, stretchered off early in the second half.
