Intensity and pace in the Champions League match between PSG and Barcelona, ​​first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals

Another show in the Champions League quarter-finals, after those between Real-City (3-3) and Arsenal-Bayern (2-2): at the Parc des Princes in Paris it ends like at the Emirates in London, with emotions and comebacks. The first half was almost entirely Barcelona-based, with Donnarumma thrilling: the blue goalkeeper missed two exits, but was saved thanks to his teammates; at the third error Raphinha doesn’t forgive and gives Bara the lead. Mbapp’s PSG overturned everything in three minutes at the start of the second half, with a great shot from Dembel and then a perfect diagonal from Vitinha.

Xavi responds to the substitutions of Luis Enrique, who removes Asensio and Lee for Barcola and Zaire Emery: Joao Felix comes in for the 16-year-old Yamal and Pedri for Sergi Roberto. Just as soon as he entered, Pedri served a delicious ball for Raphinha, after a long clearance missed by Donnarumma. The Brazilian’s shot (with an Italian passport) was unstoppable. A post from Dembel prevents PSG from getting back ahead and Barcelona don’t have to wait: Christensen’s header from a corner surprises the entire French defence, including the goalkeeper. The counter-overtake cuts off the legs of the French, who will need a feat at the Montjuic stadium.

Atletico-Borussia

Less spectacular victory for Atletico Madrid, who after beating Inter on penalties in the round of 16, are beating themselves up for not having closed the match against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg. Simeone’s team immediately scores two goals against the Germans who get stuck first with goalkeeper Kobel (De Paul scores) and then with the central defenders: great ball from Griezmann for Lino’s second, who will be disqualified in the return. Atletico, however, did not exploit further errors by the Germans to definitively close the score and in the final, a turn by Haller halved Borussia’s deficit, who then pushed hard and also hit two crossbars: everything was still open. Very open.
