What is there to say? The prism of the result is so present in the analysis that it becomes hard to follow the various debates. Does Pacho deserve 4, certainly not. As far as the forward line is concerned, the marks are in line with the lack of success. It has to be said that this PSG team knows how to play and create, but in certain matches, has all the trouble in the world scoring goals despite a plethora of chances.
In terms of content, none of PSG’s players were really bad. It can be conceded that the forwards need to score and they didn’t do so. Ruiz, of course, totally missed his mark once again, as the scores show.
