Barcola: PSG’s Paradoxical Star – Strengths & Weaknesses

You had to see his smile and this celebration in “gunslinger” mode after scoring the winning goal in Auxerre (0-1). Long in a situation of failure, with five shots attempted, Bradley Barcola ended up deceiving the vigilance of Donovan Léon at the end of a good call from deep, thus letting his joy explode in front of everyone. After Lille, this is his second consecutive goal in Ligue 1, where he is Paris’ top scorer this season with seven goals.

For 80 minutes, however, he symbolized the offensive ineffectiveness of Luis Enrique’s men, both incisive on his left wing and clumsy in the last gesture, but his replacement in the axis, after the exit of Gonçalo Ramos, finally put him in a better position to adjust the sights.
