These people are unbelievable. Indestructible. But that's why they're the best team in Europe. It is incredible what Paris Saint-Germain have managed to survive for the second game in a row. Whatever you do, don't give their opponents a two-goal lead. It's not an advantage – it's a punishment. That was the case against Rennes last time out, and it happened again in Lille. Luis Enrique's hundred-headed ’hydra’ somehow escaped the guillotine and snatched a point with two goals in stoppage time – 2:2. Against Rennes, Ferran Torres played the role of saviour. Against Lille it was Vitinha. First, in the first minute of stoppage time, the Portuguese midfielder struck the ball beautifully and sent it into the top corner. That was the moment panic set in for the hosts, and PSG, like any predator, knows how to smell fear. They went all-out, and once again Vitinha was at the heart of it. He delivered a cross from almost the exact spot from which he had scored, and Marquinhos rose high to head the ball into the net.🔴⚪| The moment Hákon Arnar Haraldsson scores for Lille vs PSG! 🎯 pic.twitter.com/FnucePx7NZ— The Moment Football (@themomentfooty) August 28, 2026 .Lille had played a perfect game right up until stoppage time. Davide Ancelotti showed that he has the potential to become a good coach – perhaps not quite on his father's level, but the talent is certainly there. He set a trap for PSG. He did the only thing he could: handed possession to the reigning European champions and waited for the counterattack. Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed as much as 70 percent possession, but they struggled to create much against Lille's superbly organised back line. Ancelotti's side waited for the opportunity to bite, and it came midway through the first half. The counterattack was on, the ball reached Giroud, who caught Willian Pacho flat-footed and produced a brilliant pass into the path of Hakon Haraldsson. The Icelander stormed into the box from deep and smashed the ball past Matvey Safonov.From Ancelotti junior, we saw everything that characterized his famous father during his time as Real Madrid coach. A perfectly organised defensive line and a compact midfield that suffocated PSG for almost the entire game. There were none of those devastating PSG attacks, none of those situations where they stretch opponents and create one-on-ones. The European champions were reduced to taking plenty of shots from distance, most of which were wildly inaccurate. Even when they did get an opportunity to seriously threaten Berke Ozer's goal, the visitors either took one touch too many or a Lille defender managed to get a foot in at the last possible moment. The home side simply waited for another chance to drive a sting into Enrique's team – and once again, Her Majesty the counterattack, with Olivier Giroud at the centre of it. He found Dylan Bakwa on the right flank. The former Strasbourg player took a touch, composed himself and calmly placed the ball into the far corner. Everything was going like a fairy tale. Carletto's son was on the verge of the biggest scalp of his coaching career. And then came five minutes of nightmare, as Paris Saint-Germain somehow, once again, managed to escape defeat.
