PSG lost to Clermont on their own field in the match of the final, 38th round of the French championship – 2:3.

This match was the last for the Parisians for star striker Lionel Messi and defender Sergio Ramos, who decided to leave the club after the end of the current season.

The farewell of the 35-year-old Argentine with the French capital was not very pleasant. PSG fans booed Leo before his farewell game for the Paris club, as they had done repeatedly throughout the season.

Christophe Galtier's team took the lead in the 16th minute when Ramos locked Vitinha's serve. Five minutes later, Kylian Mbappé doubled the hosts' advantage with a penalty.

However, then "Clermont" managed to make an unexpected comeback. In the 24th minute, Joan Hastien reduced the gap, and in the 37th minute the guests missed a great opportunity to recoup - Gregejon Kyei did not score from the penalty spot.

However, before the break, Clermont equalized the score with an effort from Mehdi Zeffan. And in the second half, the guests snatched victory - Kyei rehabilitated himself for a mistake from the 11-meter mark with a goal from the game.

Immediately after the final whistle, the lenses of the TV cameras were turned to Messi. The Argentinian looked rather sad.
