Mauricio Pochettino is still yet to taste defeat in Ligue 1 this season after Achraf Hakimi helped stage a dramatic late 2-1 victory against Metz on Wednesday.
The Argentine coach saw his team take the lead through Hakimi inside five minutes of play, but the reality is that it was never a performance from PSG which ever caught the imagination.
Metz equalised through Boubakar Kouyate just before half time, and would have been worth winners had they been able to score a second goal.
PSG held on and were handed a boost one minute into second-half added time when Dylan Bronn was shown a red card, leaving the hosts with 10 men.
Hakimi would make Metz pay deep into added time, netting his second of the night after 95 minutes, ensuring Pochettino's charges earned another victory and remained unbeaten.

Now where are the people that said Messi distabized the PSG team???. This team just have to get some way of moving the ball and that's what the lack not players and definitely not Messi's fault. So haters should respect the guy

Quality in midfield is so important. Players that can play through the lines, who position themselves well, that that can dribble past players to create more men up front. If none of this happens the ball won't come to MNM and they will drop back to get it. Psg need Verratti asap..
