mbappé nothing without messi

Football fans provided a myriad of reactions on social media as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) suffered their first defeat of the 2022-23 club season.

The Parisians, who lead the Ligue 1 standings, took on second-placed RC Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Dellelis on Sunday, January 1. Despite taking a 1-0 lead in the eighth minute through Hugo Ekitike, they suffered a 3-1 defeat in a contest where they managed 16 shots and six on target.

It was also their first league defeat since March 2022 when they lost 3-0 away to AS Monaco.
