Paris Saint-Germain remains in the running for a qualification in the eight-leg of the Champions League! With a 2-1 victory over Liverpool on Wednesday, the capital's club took second place in Group C before the final day of the group stage.
The joy of Bernat after the opening of the Parisian score (1-0, 14th)
To hope to continue the adventure in this Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain was to win this Wednesday night at the Parc des Princes. It is done with a success acquired face Liverpool (2-1)! Everything was not easy for PSG, jostling in the second period, but the bottom line is l and Paris is in a good position before the last day.
PSG puts the right ingredients
We expected a Paris SG determined and conquering, the Parisians immediately set the tone! Very well in this meeting, Thomas Tuchel's men dominated the duels and quickly obtained dangerous opportunities by Di Maria and Mbapp, whose strikes were stopped by Alisson. But Liverpool goalkeeper was finally the end of the first quarter of an hour on a shot from Bernat (1-0, 14th)! An opening of the score deserves in view of the good start of Paris.
Derrire, PSG went down in intensity and Liverpool set foot on the ball. Lower down, the Parisians then suffered several assaults of the Reds, without Buffon being really worried. On the edge of the field, Tuchel was not happy to see his players less present in the laundry. But the Parisian coach was smiling once again when Neymar broke the deadlock after a brace of men (2-0, 37). The Park could let his joy explode!
Di Maria restart Liverpool
The Parisians thought they could get back to the locker room with the two-goal advantage, but Liverpool got a logical penalty after a late tackle from Di Maria on Man. The PSG players were mad with rage, but the foul was real and Milner reduced the cart (2-1, 45th + 1). Raised by this goal, the Reds attacked strongly the second period and Paris was in difficulty. Tuchel's players made the opponent's ball too fast and saw the red waves crashing into Buffon's surface.
The PSG is no longer in this second period, the image of a Mbapp totally transparent since the return of the locker room. The Parisians could not build at all and it took a head of Marquinhos on corner to worry Alisson. The minutes passed and the threat of a realization remained present until the last moments. Emmene by a standard Thiago Silva, the Parisian defense held out until the final whistle. Paris takes an option by taking second place before the last match against Belgrade Red Star.
The note of the match: 7/10
We had a very good match for an hour. With a lot of commitment, goals and suspense, the show was nice in a good atmosphere at Parc des Princes. The last half hour was more messy and probably unsustainable for Paris fans.
The goals :
– Verratti goes back on the ground relying on Di Maria and finds Mbapp in the surface on the left. The center of the attacker is repulsed by Van Dijk, but Bernat followed, rounds Gomet and marks a shot from the right earth (1-0, 14th).
– Neymar accelerates to the left and finds Mbapp centering in front of the goal. Cavani resumes but stumbles on Alisson. Neymar is l to take back the leather and score in the empty goal (2-0, 37th).
– Following a penalty obtained by Man, Milner takes care of it and takes Buffon against-foot by shooting on the left of the Paris goalkeeper (2-1, 45th + 1).
NOTES of the players
Maxifoot gave a rating (out of 10) comments on each player.
The man of the match: Thiago Silva (8/10)
"O Monstro" answered this evening! Sometimes criticized for his mind in the big meetings, the Parisian captain was normal. Excellent in anticipation and omnipresent in his surface, he matris Firmino in this part and realizes in particular a standard return to Robertson in the second period.
PARIS SG :
Gianluigi Buffon (6): the Paris goalkeeper did not have a lot of work finally. Vigilant on his interventions, he can do nothing on the penalty.
Thilo Kehrer (7): the young German defender confirms his good performances observed for several weeks. He defended with great intelligence and was not too worried by Man in the first period. He had more work after the break, but he was able to answer now. He makes a very good copy.
Thiago Silva (8): read the comment above.
Presnel Kimpembe (5): the central defender in Paris did not move a great deal in the first period. After a ball loss in his surface that offers a Salah opportunity, he then often panicked by shoving the ball a bit anyhow. More solid in the second act.
Juan Bernat (7): Criticized at the beginning of the season, the left-wing Spanish left again, as against Napoli. Defensively, he did the job despite the rise of Salah at the beginning of the second period.
Marquinhos (7): in midfielder in the defensive phase and placed between the two central ones in the construction phase, the Brazilian was very good. One wondered if Tuchel had made the right choice by preferring Rabiot or Draxler, he gave a positive answer. He thought he scored early in the second period, but his goal was logically down for an offside position.
Marco Verratti (6.5): we immediately felt the Italian in a big night. In the first seconds, it offers a real goal ball by Cavani. Behind, it was a festival of "Little Owl". Charg to go out the balloons in the middle, he escapes the opposing pressure to break the lines by his dribbling and passing. It is the origin of the opening of the Parisian score. A little more difficult in the second period, but a big activity tonight.
Kylian Mbapp (4,5): a two faces Mbapp tonight. Very mobile in the first period, the Parisian striker has constantly varied his calls to propose solutions to its partners and disrupt the English defense. His two centers bring both Parisian goals. But after the break, it was close to the nant … Probably not 100% physically after his shoulder injury, he practically made no good choice in the second period and no longer weighed offensively. Replaces the 85th by Adrien Rabiot (not not).
Neymar (7): the Brazilian was also in a very good evening. In his shots and dribbles, he has almost always made differences. At the beginning and the conclusion of the second goal in Paris, he was rather inspired tonight. Despite Milner's favored treatment, he stayed in his match.
ngel Di Mara (4): rather inspired at the beginning of the match with a beautiful half-flight pushed back by Alisson and his one-two with Verratti on the first goal of Paris, the Argentinean raises Liverpool with a foul of attacking in its surface which offers the penalty to the Reds. In the second period, we have seen little. Replaces the 65th by Dani Alves (not not).
Edinson Cavani (4): as always, the Uruguayan did not spare his efforts, but it was rather rough. At the start, he misses a check when he could go to the goal. He is certainly involved on the second goal in Paris by taking center Mbapp, but he loses his duel against Alisson. Replace by Eric Choupo-Moting (not not).
