Defeated Tuesday evening on the lawn of Bayern Munich (1-0) as part of the 5th day of the Champions League, PSG sees its qualification for the next round getting more complicated.
Another European evening to forget for Paris Saint-Germain. Already in great difficulty in the classification of the league phase of the Champions League, the club of the capital went to lose Tuesday evening on the lawn of Bayern Munich (1-0). Holder in place of Gianluigi Donnarumma before the cage,
Matvey Safonov committed a guilty fault on the closed goal. Ousmane Dembélé was expelled in the 57th minute after a second yellow card. In the ranking, Paris finds itself in 26th row, at a point in the 24th and last qualifying place.
Luis Enrique surely hoped for a completely different scenario for this meeting. The PSG coach had for this trip to Bavaria chose to leave “Gigio” Donnarumma on the bench to replace him from the outset by Matvey Safonov. He had also decided to place Ousmane Dembélé in the axis of the attack with Warren Zaïre-Emery on the right. So many choices that have not been paid. For the Russian goalkeeper, it will be a big dumpling on an outing on his line, with a badly boxed ball and placed on the head of Kim Min-Jae (1-0, 38th).
Dembélé expelled
For Warren Zaïre-Emery, this will be a huge missed opportunity (28th) and a lack of cutting edge throughout his match before his release shortly after the hour of play. Regarding Ousmane Dembélé, still a good number of opportunities and several harvested balloons. And then this second yellow card received in the 57th minute of play after a tackle on an opposing player. Admittedly, the referee could have shown a little more psychology, but the tricolor international ignited a little.
Despite everything, there was still a show and everything will not be thrown at the time of analyzing the Parisian performance. However, it is indeed a new defeat for PSG in this Champions League. Until Wednesday’s matches are played, the French team remains outside the qualifying places for the next round. Three defeats in five days and only one success in the clock, it will be necessary to win on December 10 in Salzburg.
