La Pulga broke the deadlock at the Parc des Princes 12 minutes into the first half after appearing by surprise at the penalty spot with a left-footed shot that allowed him to anticipate his marker Nicolas Pallois. It was 1-0 for the Parisian team, which would later jump to 2-0 but would end the initial stage with a 2-2 due to their defensive shortcomings. It was Danilo Pereira, in the plugin, the one who put Christophe Galtier and Kiki Mbappé’s team forward again (he became PSG’s top scorer in history with 201 shouts from him) who put up definitive figures.

That shout, with a hug to Kylian Mbappé included, meant goal number 799 in Rosario’s career: 672 with the Barcelona shirt, 98 with the Argentine team and 29 with Paris Saint Germain. The other detail, no less, is that he reached 1,000 direct participations in goals at the club level. To the aforementioned goals we must add 269 assists at the Blaugrana and 30 in France.
