Bradley Barcola: Doubts & PSG Performance

When Paris recites its football against Tottenham or Rennes, with ten goals up for grabs (5-3 then 5-0), Bradley Barcola remains silent. When Paris came out of a goalless draw at Bilbao in the Champions League, obviously no one scored but Barcola even “less” than the others. His huge opportunity (65th) completed on the bar would have changed the match. Its balance sheet in 2025 remains insufficient.

A decisive pass against Atalanta (4-0), another against Leverkusen (2-7) and that’s it. In the Champions League, Bradley Barcola weighs little, at least statistically. His performance in Bilbao pretty much sums up the type of performance he can deliver during European summits. Untraceable for the first 35 minutes, determining for twenty minutes after the break, a great action concluded on the bar because of a finishing problem which stuck to him like a sticking plaster.
