Blue Lock chapter 249 spoilers and raw scans: Bastard Munchen and PXG struggle to gain control of the ball
According to the spoilers of Blue Lock chapter 249, the upcoming chapter will be titled "The Beginning." The chapter seemingly opened with Yoichi Isagi observing the Paris X Gen team.

The match began with Bastard Munchen's kickoff as Alexis Ness passed the ball to Michael Kaiser. Shidou Ryusei immediately tackled Kaiser.

Just when it seemed like Paris X Gen had won over the possession, Rensuke Kunigami charged at Karasu and kicked the ball away from him. Unfortunately, Kunigami failed to clear the ball towards his teammates and instead put the ball in a position that Zantetsu Tsurugi could reach. Upon noticing this, Raichi Jingo tracked back and surprisingly managed to get to the ball first.
Despite the pushes from Zantetsu, Raichi managed to pass the ball into Hiori Yo's position. Hiori was struggling in a battle of physique against Aoshi Tokimitsu, which is when Nijiro Nanase stole the ball away from him. Right after gaining possession of the ball, Nanase made a pin-point pass to Rin Itoshi. Just when it seemed like the pass was about to reach Rin, it was intercepted by Yoichi Isagi who cleared the ball away with his head.

With such intense back and forth in Blue Lock chapter 249, it was pretty clear that the match was set to be very intriguing.
