Paris Saint-Germain wants to reach the final of the Champions League. In the 16th, Manchester United awaits an opponent in form. PSG coach, Tuchel, is sought after, the attitude of his football stars must be right – he has done everything right.
Thomas Tuchel can already prepare for the quarter-finals of the Champions League with Paris St. Germain. The star of the German coach won without his injured superstar Neymar 2: 0 (0: 0) in the English record holder Manchester United. The two internationals Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer were already part of the French.
After a disappointing first period with little chance of scoring, the high-ranking guests hit the game twice coldly a few minutes after the restart. Presnel Kimpembe (53) after a corner and world champion Kylian Mbappe (60) on presentation of Angel di Maria caused a first competitive duel between the two teams for the dull victory of the champion of France. One minute before the final whistle, the organizers also lost their French world champion Paul Pogba with a yellow-red card for repeated play.

Paris celebrated the first victory of a French team at Old Trafford. PSG can qualify for the first quarter-final of the queen category since 2016 in the return match of March 6 (21:00) in the Prinzenpark. Three years ago, PSG defeated Chelsea and celebrated its only victory at Stamford Bridge (2-1) on the island. The Sheikh Club is for the seventh time in the series in the round of 16 in the premier clbad, but at the latest in the quarter-finals has always been the last stop.
The fourth quarter of the English Premier League focused on defense in front of 74,054 spectators, with the exception of the first minutes, and relied primarily on the counterattack. However, the team of the acting manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became more and more pbadive as the game progressed.
"B-Elf" for injured?
In addition to the three weeks of injury, Neymar (metatarsal injury) missed Paris in Manchester, scorer Edinson Cavani (hip injury) and third in the World Cup Belgium, Thomas Meunier (concussion). Neymar and probably also Cavani will probably still be absent from the leader of the Ligue 1 championship in three weeks. In the door, Tuchel gave preference to 41-year-old Gianluigi Buffon over 16-year-old Alphonse Areola.
Odds of scoring remained rare until half of the game was disappointing. Without Neymar and Cavani, the mischievous senior hosts have long lacked determination in the offensive. We have seen little of Draxler. The total balance of the first 45 minutes: one shot on goal, five yellow cards.
After the break, Paris opened a corridor. Mbappe (64) missed the free goal in front of United goalkeeper David de Gea, even at 3: 0.
