They started very strong. Before bending and cracking. After dominating their start to the Champions League match against Newcastle on Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes, PSG conceded the first goal of the match in the 24th minute of play through Swedish striker Alexander Isak, who take advantage of an error by Parisian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, once again at fault after a ball during the victory against Monaco (5-2) on Friday in Ligue 1.
But on this action, the Parisian defense also showed surprising passivity. A lack of aggressiveness which Tino Livramento took advantage of to accelerate, skirt the rearguard of the capital club, who perhaps hesitated for fear of being penalized with a penalty, at the entrance to the front area to serve the Paraguayan Miguel Almiron. The latter then launched a shot, poorly repelled by the Italian goalkeeper and which Alexander Isak took advantage of to open the score and shower the Park.
PSG is partly playing its future in European competition this Tuesday. A defeat in this penultimate match of the group stage would put the English, clear winners in the first leg (4-1), ahead of the Parisians before the last day on December 13.
Worse, Luis Enrique’s men would no longer be masters of their destiny in the event of a victory for Borussia Dortmund on the AC Milan pitch on Tuesday evening during their final match in Germany. A potential nightmare scenario to absolutely avoid for Kylian Mbappé and his partners.
