Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) hosted Clermont in Ligue 1 action in the early hours of the morning of the 7th, seeking to stay fit for Wednesday's UEFA Cup last-eight clash against Barcelona. The match lineup featured a full complement of starters, including Kilian McBarbie and Oswald Nidibili, and ended in a 1-1 draw. However, PSG defender Lodi Mekini suffered an unfortunate injury during the match and even appeared to vomit blood in what was a gut-wrenching scene for a while.
PSG is currently leading the Ligue 1, and coach Anriki has plenty of money to ensure his team's competitiveness in European competitions. But early in the match, an accident occurred. Lodi Mekini gushed blood after colliding with another goalkeeper in a shocking sight. Anriki then sent in Ashurav to replace the injured Mekini. Despite this, Mekini wanted to stay in the game, but when he saw the light sign for the substitution, he lost control of his emotions and yelled angrily, and eventually calmed down only after the coach calmed him down and went back to the locker room angrily.
PSG were temporarily put ahead by Clermont in the 32nd minute, before Anriki made substitutions for attacking players such as Kilian McBarbie and Lee Kang-in in the second half to bolster the attack and eventually tie the game at 1-1 late in the game. After the match, Anriki said that the substitution of Mekini was a precautionary measure, and that Mekini was expected to start at right back for the Barcelona match in light of Ashurav's upcoming suspension.
