PSG, leaders of Ligue 1 with 28 points, finished with ten players for the expulsion of Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi (ST 12m) by review of the VAR in the infraction that he committed to the forward Dimitri Payet.
Messi started with Rosario Ángel Di María, who was replaced at 15 in the second half in a tactical change by decision of DT Mauricio Pochettino.
The French classic was played through clenched teeth. In the first half, the VAR annulled two goals, one for each.
The Marseille goalkeeper, the Spaniard Pau López, drowned out Messi’s goal cry, who without markings headed in the middle of the small area.
Since the expulsion of Hakimi, PSG withdrew and Marseille did not know how to take advantage of some situations.
The clearest was the American Konrad De la Fuente, hand in hand with the Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, but his definition was unsuccessful.
At 27 minutes, an intruder thwarted a PSG attack, when Messi carried the ball. Immediately, security entered the field and removed the person who was trying to hug the Rosario star.
PSG lined up with Messi, Di María, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, but Marseille cut the playing circuits.
With this tie, PSG reached 28 points and Marseille, in fourth place, is still ten behind.
The day was completed with: Nice (Walter Benítez starter) 3-Lyon 2; Lens (Facundo Medina) -Metz 1; Lorient 1-Bordeaux 1; Reims 1-Troyes 2; Rennes 1-Strasbourg 0; Monaco 3-Montpellier 1.
