A l’Etihad Stadium,
First to last minute puffs by a City team so sexy, the Parisians
were logically beaten (2-1) Wednesday evening, even if Mbappé’s opening scoring for a while led us to believe in the possibility of an armed robbery. If Paris is however already qualified for the 8th after the victory of Leipzig in Bruges, it will be necessary to do much, much better to justify the heavy investments of the Emir this summer.
Miraculous paris
Fluctuates not sink. Beaten by the waves but which does not sink. For a half-time, Wednesday, the
PSG has never represented the motto of his city so well. Deprived of the man of glass Marco Verratti, after the 975th injury of his career (except for one cow), the Parisians were run over by City and we do not yet know by what bloody miracle they returned to the locker room in 0-0.
We also stopped counting the blue waves after a while it got so annoying, we would have thought we were at Pointe du Raz on a windy day. Here a saving knee from Kimpembe or a tackle from Marquinhos, there a parade from Navas or an ankle from Nuno Mendes: nothing to do, we do not pass.
City outraged
The worst part of all this is that PSG could well have achieved the heist of the century if Mbappé had not missed his curled right to Titi Henry just before the break. But don’t panic, the goal would eventually arrive. Like PSG this season, on a backlash (and a lot of pussy), relying only on the talent of his MNM, yet ghostly until then.
Found at the far post by the Pulga after a delicious false call from Neymar, Ability came to extinguish a stadium that could not believe its eyes (50th). We have to admit it either. What if, in the end, it was Pochettino who was right against everyone from the start? That’s right, what’s the point of having style when you can just win. Dirty, of course, but to win all the same.
Football has won
But the truth is that football is right about it most often rewards those who respect it, those who try, those who play. Fifteen minutes after the opening of the scoring, Sterling thus came to do justice to the Gods of the ball by cutting with a furious tackle a ball poorly cleared by the Parisian defense, before Gabriel Jesus gave a layer, wonderfully served by Bernardo Silva (76th).
On arrival, with the box from Leipzig to Bruges (5-0), the Parisians are still guaranteed to see the 8th next February. But with more ideas and a minimum of structure, please. Otherwise, you might as well leave your place for someone else.
