Coming in large numbers to receive the champions of France, Friday April 29, during the kick-off of the 35th day of Ligue 1, the Strasbourg supporters set the tone at La Meinau. Faced with a Parisian armada which has often relied on the individual talent of Neymar and Mbappé, Julien Stéphan’s men fought to the end, weapons in hand, to snag a draw (3-3) in an atmosphere madness.

At the start of the match, this atmosphere carried the teammates of Kevin Gameiro, author of the first goal after only three minutes of play (1-0, 3rd). Not far from the break, they then saw the vista of Neymar and the supersonic speed of Kylian Mbappé allow PSG to come back to score before the break (1-1, 23rd).

Jostled at the start of the second period, Paris took advantage of a nice collective movement, concluded by Ashraf Hakimi on the hour mark (1-2, 64th), to regain the lead, before seeing Mbappé score twice (1- 3, 68th) and soar in the scorer rankings (24 goals). The goal against his camp by Marco Verratti (2-3, 75th) will maintain hope on the Alsatian side, and at the end of the suspense, Anthony Caci will once again ignite an audience who were only asking for that (3-3, 90th + 2). There are three games left in Strasbourg to clinch a European place.
