The Parisian Thomas Tuchel won the duel of the best German coaches. Against Jürgen Klopps, Liverpool FC has particularly convinced its superstars. Liverpool is under pressure now.
Thomas Tuchel headed for the knockout stages of the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain and brought Jürgen Klopps Liverpool FC into the category. Led by superstar Neymar, PSG beat the Reds 2: 1 (2: 1) in the first leg of the first game of the football category on Wednesday. Because SSC Napoli won 3-1 (2-0) against Red Star Belgrade in the second Group C match, Liverpool slipped to third with six points and had to fear a place in the round of 16. Napoli is now leading the pack with nine points ahead of Paris (8).
Special pressure of Tuchel
Coach Tuchel was under pressure with PSG. Again and again, this has been with several million teams reinforced by Qatar in recent years in the quarter-finals and recently even in the second round. This time shame was threatened – an early exit already in the group stage. It was all the more important for the French champions that superstars Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, after being injured in recent international matches, have been getting back in shape over time.
And PSG took a furious start, putting pressure on Liverpool from the start. Juan Bernat, deported to FC Bayern, accompanied by the rascals of President Uli Hoeneß, brought the team back in the 13th minute in advance. After a center of Virgil van Dijk, Mbappé Liverpool's defensive boss, Bernat had a shot in the head.
Barcelona beats the PSV
Just when the Klopps team was a little better in the game, Neymar increased the score to 2: 0. The Brazilians themselves launched a quick counterattack. From Mbappé, the ball reached Cavani, but goalkeeper Alisson could still parry. Neymar was there.
Shortly before the break, James Milner made the experience exciting. After the intervention of his badistant, the Polish referee Szymon Marciniak acknowledged the penalty for a foul of Angel di Maria to Sadio Mane. Milner transformed safely. But Liverpool did not succeed after the break, despite a last offense. Instead of Tuchel, Klopp could now overtake the Europa League run.
In Group B, FC Barcelona won their first place by beating PSV Eindhoven 2-1 (0-0) just two weeks before the final day. Lionel Messi put the Catalans in the lead (61.), Gérard Piqué made the preliminary decision (70.). The race for second place is still open after Tottenham Hotspur has won 1-0 (0-0) at home against Inter Milan. Christian Eriksen (80) scored for the Londoners, who occupy the second place ahead of the Italians tied.
