We can always debate a few points, but it’s very difficult to get everyone to agree on the grades. However, the overall idea is clear and fairly accurate: PSG disappointed in this match. They needed pace, precision and creativity. A particularly collective observation, like most Parisian victories this season.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was nevertheless superior in terms of energy and impact, but lacked success. Gonçalo Ramis was particularly transparent. He needs to find a way to be sharper when he’s on the pitch. It’s also worth pointing out that PSG increased the number of crosses they sent in only after he came off, which is a pity as this is an area where he could be very useful with his qualities.
In any case, we’ll need a collective response against the Seattle Sounders on Monday at 9pm if we are to secure our place in the last 8 with a win.
