One minute added at the end of the first-half

Sanchez finds Clauss with an accurate throughball. Clauss takes a low shot from just inside the PSG box, but Donnarumma gets down well to make the save. Ramos cleans up the danger for PSG.
Off the post- Neymar makes space for himself by cutting outside to his favourite right foot. He tries to find the bottom-right corner with a low curling shot. It is a brilliant effort as the ball hits the inside of the post and comes back into play.
Close: Messi goes for goal directly from a free-kick, which does not miss the target by much.
PSG looks for an immediate response as Messi gets the better of two Marseille players to get inside the opponent box. However, Gigot does well to get goal-side of the Argentinian and win the ball cleanly.

Hakimi makes a long run on the right flank and finds Neymar with a cutback. Neymar tries to split open the defence with an aerial through ball but ends up losing the ball.
A lot of cheap fouls being given away by both teams, especially in the middle of the park, which is disrupting the momentum of the game.
Kolasinac hits a piledriving shot from the left side of the box. He catches the shot really well and if the effort would have been on target, that would have been a goal. Donnarumma was well beaten.
Neymar is played a good ball and he is acres of empty space. He links up with Messi and then tries to tee up Vitinha. However, his pass to Vitinha is misdirected and the home team clears the ball.
Malinovskyi shoots low from distance, which forces a save from Donnarumma. For a moment, it seemed like Under will get to the rebound but the PSG keeper does well to recover and catch the ball.
Hakimi does well to get away from his marker and find Messi. Messi spots Neymar in the centre and passes the ball to him. Neymar tries to thread a pass to Mendes, who had made the overlapping run, but sees it cut out.
Marseille has surely looked the more dangerous team till now and it has enjoyed the better chances in the match as we approach the end of the first-quarter.
Gigot’s cross from the left takes a deflection and goes to the far-post, which is unguarded. Under gets there and tries to guide the ball inside the goal with his head but the PSG defence recovers just in time to make the clearance.
PSG launches a counter-attack of its ow. Messi, who had options on either side, rolls the ball to Neymar on his left. Messi’s pass is a tad bit overhit, that forces Neymar wide. He squares the ball to the centre but cannot find a teammate.
Under dispatches a brilliant curling effort from outside the box that forces a fingertip save from Donnarumma.
Shot: Veretout takes a shot from distance but blasts his effort over the bar.
Neymar releases Nuno Mendes on the left with a lovely weighted-pass. Mendes uses his pace to make a darting run into the Marseille box. Once inside, he shoots at keeper Lopez’s near -post but the keeper makes the save.
Marseille players appeal for a handball as the ball seemed to have struck Hakimi’s arm while he was blocking the cross. It was a vociferous appeal by the players but the referee waves play to go on.
Guendouzi threads an excellent ball for Malinovskyi who had made a good run. However, Marquinhos is there to anticipate the danger and clear the danger.
