Napoli appeared on course for a Champions League win thanks to Dries Mertens' 77th-minute effort, but Angel Di Maria levelled late on.
Match Events
17' SAVE! Cavani's shot saved by Ospina
SAVE! Cavani is played into space in the left inside channel and he takes a touch to drag the ball on to his right foot. He drills a low effort towards the target, but Ospina is able to get down to make the stop.
23' CLOSE! Mertens' shot hits the bar
OFF THE BAR! MERTENS IS DENIED! Rui whips a delightful cross towards the near post for Mertens' run. The Belgian peels away from Marquinhos and Kimpembe to latch on to the cross. He guides his effort towards the goal from close range, only to be denied by te bar. The visitors should be ahead.
29'GOAL! PSG 0-1 Napoli (Insigne)
GOALLLLLLLLLL!!! INSIGNE PUTS NAPOLI AHEAD!!! 1-0!!!! Insigne holds his composure to clip the ball over the top of Areola into the net to put the visitors in front. Callejon was the architect with a sublime throughball behind Kimpembe. Areola committed himself by racing off his line and it allowed the Italian to guide the ball over his head and into the net on the bounce.
61'OWN GOAL! PSG 1-1 Napoli (Rui)
GOALLLLLLLLLL!!!! NIGHTMARE FOR RUI!!!! PSG HAVE THEIR LEVELLER!! 1-1! The home side are back in the game with a huge slice of luck as Rui puts the ball into his own net. Meunier latched on to Mbappe's pass down the right flank and sent a low cross into the box. Rui stuck out a boot to block the cross, but it sliced off his foot and into the top corner, leaving Ospina with no chance.
77'GOAL! PSG 1-2 Napoli (Mertens)
GOALLLLLLLLLL!!!! MERTENS FIRES NAPOLI BACK IN FRONT!!!! 2-1!!! The Italian side were victims of misfortune for PSG's equaliser, but the favour has been returned as Mertens converts from close range. Ruiz was afforded space and time on the edge of the box to fire at goal. His strike hit the back of Mertens and fell kindly for the Belgian six yards out. He toe-poked the ball towards the bottom corner giving Areola no chance to react. The Parc des Princes is stunned into silence.
81' SAVE! Ospina denies Neymar's free-kick
SAVE! Neymar bends his effort over the wall towards goal. His strike is fairly straight and it's easy for Ospina to turn over the bar, although Napoli still have a corner to defend.
90+3' Goal! PSG 2-2 Napoli (Di Maria)
GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! DI MARIA SCORES A STUNNER AT THE DEATH!!!! 2-2!!! How important could Di Maria's goal prove to be for PSG. He has rescued them at the death here with a special effort from the edge of the box. The Argentine collects Draxler's offload on the edge of the box before cutting on to his left foot. He bends his effort beyond the reach of Ospina into the top corner. It could be vital for the French outfit's hopes of progressing to the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Match Report
Angel Di Maria's brilliant stoppage-time effort rescued a point for Paris Saint-Germain in a 2-2 draw with Napoli in Champions League Group C.
It had looked like PSG would suffer their first home loss in 20 Champions League group stage games when Dries Mertens put Napoli 2-1 ahead with 13 minutes remaining.
But Argentina international Di Maria whipped a terrific finish past David Ospina in the 93rd minute to deny Carlo Ancelotti victory against his former club.
PSG came into the game having never beaten Italian opposition in Europe's premier club competition and Lorenzo Insigne's first-half effort gave Napoli the lead.
The French side levelled when Mario Rui diverted Thomas Meunier's cross into his own goal but PSG continued to look suspect at the back.
Mertens restored Napoli's lead and though Di Maria replied, Liverpool's win over Red Star Belgrade meant PSG still slipped down to third in the group.

And more over he give the ball to other players when he get it usually. if you didn't watch the game watch it again. And thank you for blaming neymar again and again. But it won't change the fact that neymar is the man of psg.
In the season of 15/16, Hazard created many chances. Does that mean he had a good season? no cos we finished 10th. last champions league Messi created chances vs Roma, did he have a good game? no cos his team got kicked out in a comeback... Neymar can do all his fancy flicks and stuff and people can be all impressed if they want but that doesn't change the fact that when it comes to Europe, PSG will never win the champions league cos they aren't at that level people like to think they are, Napoli who played away outplayed PSG and were very unlucky to concede a stupid own goal otherwise the game was done. Liverpool who are known as bottle jobs managed to beat PSG despite the odds. On paper team is what PSG is, nothing more.

Since making their debut in the Champions League in 2011/12, this is just the second time that Napoli remain unbeaten after their first three group stage games. Confidence.

Napoli deserved to win that. Score should have been 2-1 if the right back didn't score that stupidity of an own goal. Koulibaly and Albiol have more players in their pockets than i have change in mine... Also anyone seen Neymar? #SendMeLocation. The difference in this match was the calibre of keeper, If Napoli had a world class keeper they would have taken the 3 points at Parc De Princes.... Unlucky Napoli but I'm sure you'll finish top of your group once you play all your remaining home games. If I was a serie a club supporter, I'm sure I would have supported Napoli.

PSG always suffer against big teams. They always win French League but they are always tested among other clubs outside of France.

frankly speaking....Neymar Jr ..why on earth did u join psg ??..PSG is a team that has a mentality of a small team...1)no proper defense (kimpembe lol defender) 2)no creative midfield or wing backs..3) there's ego between the members ..result is we are missing a talent like you..you opened up for mbappe who had done nothing in those 90 mins .still he can't score that simple goal...if he had then you would be in his shadows...di Maria...played the whole game like a bastard..but for that screamer he will be praised..no one will notice your free kick or you total key passes in this match...you were the main ingredient in psg's attack...but they don't care ..really disappointed...leave psg Neymar..plz..

so in ur lost mind Lyon now is better than any other team in french league bcuz the beat ur wasteful Epl table leader, u 're lost, Epl is league for television not league for content, League their home players beat Spain in one match as in many matches nd yes their mad press celebrated as if they had won the world cup what a f**k league Epl is that England national team can't win a trophy in over fifty yrs, but the said farm league products wins in the continent nd the world at easy, only Risse nd sancho is English next generation playing in another country but France over 30 next gen in first teams across the six best leagues in Europe all products the so called farm league, If small nd Jones re french men who will dash them national shirts of France, Yet Anthony martial the product farm league is man utd messiah still not in the national team, when will Epl produce their own Eric cantona, Henry, Pires, Patrick, Evra, Barthz, Didier D, Petit, Loris, sahko, payet, mendy, makelele, sagna, etc, when pls,Any day England produces this kind of players from Epl for themselves then will l agree french league is farm league until then all of u should buy pills nd pillow to sleep
So much BS, at the end of the day all those legendary players made a name for themselves in the BPL cos they knew there was competition. That's practically all your comment highlighted 😂. No one said France has bad footballers. Just that PSG buys a league they already dominate. A lot of PSG starters aren't even French lool... Being French has nothing to do with Ligue 1 being a farmer league cos that's what it is. And Lyon > PSG primarily cos they came challenge at the top level without having to invest even 1/4 of what PSG invest... And if you knew anything you'd know that Lyon won just as many Ligue 1 titles as PSG and they didn't have to buy their way to them...

dude look at how many saves ospina did he was great yesterday it wasn't his fault
Nah he's a good keeper but his weakness is his height. It's what hindered him from being a top 5 keeper. If he was a little taller he would have got tips to the Curler from Di Maria. First goal I can't blame him cos the full back was at fault but second was just an issue of height...

He created chances too. And in today's match he didn't get the ball that much. I doubt you're a football fan. You should learn to respect football players even though they're not your favourites. What will you feel if hazard is having a bad day and people suddenly talk ill about him?
If Hazard has a bad day, he has a bad day. I'm a truth teller, not some pus*y. whatever is on my mind after analysing the situation I'll say it. And Hazard will always be ahead of Neymar until Neymar puts a team on his back. He's had 2 opportunities where he had to put the team on his back but both times he got marked out the game with ease. There isn't much difference between him and Hazard except Hazard has had to put up with Morata for 2 seasons whereas Neymar plays alongside Mbappe and Cavani and still can't utilise probably the 2 out of 3 of the best forwards of the world cup? cmon man..... If Hazard was providing for Mbappe he would probably have the highest assist record in the world right now 😅
