He Paris Saint-Germain has a firm objective this season and it is none other than to conquer the Champions Leaguebut if you want to achieve it you have to improve a lot in the remainder of the course. At the very least, have more fangs in front of the rival goal. This Tuesday he received PSV in the Parc des Princes and although it is true that they had more scoring chances than their rival, it is also true that the Dutch team was ahead on the scoreboard. The Parisian team reacted to this, but they stayed halfway and were only able to achieve a draw (1-1).
Since the ball started rolling, PSG was a prisoner of itself. In the absence of a usual ‘9’, Kang-In Lee (and later Marco Asensio) initially acting as the closest thing to a reference in attack, the team led by Luis Enrique He got stuck in himself, making the task easier for PSV’s defense. However, the Parisian team did generate a lot of danger with its troops on the wings, a Ousmane Dembélé and a Bradley Barcola who have poison in their boots every time they intervene. Their signatures brought the actions that came closest to making their fans celebrate a little before the break. It was especially close Dembele’swho inexplicably crashed a shot into the woodwork at the goal mouth and with everything more than enough to score.
Be that as it may, during the first half the PSG He forgave time after time while the PSV He had no qualms about hitting him. In the 34th minute, in one of the first approaches to the area defended by PSG, Only Noah he asked to dance Ashraf Hakimi and made space in the left vertex of the area to connect from there a low shot and tight to the post that surprised Donnarumma. This is how the Dutch winger, who is ready to land in one of the major European leagues sooner rather than later, scored 0-1 at half-time.
Already in the second half, PSG pressed the accelerator and in the 55th minute the tie came. It was the work of Ashraf Hakimiwho tried his luck from medium distance and surprised a Walter Benitez who saw how the ball passed between his legs.
From there, the sensations of PSG They began to improve until they reached a point where it seemed that a second goal was going to be inevitable, but it never came despite the fact that PSG’s number of shots reached 26. Uncertainty remained until added time, but Walter Benitezexecutioner in the 1-1 action, was PSV’s hero by taking a header over the line from Marquinhos. PSG tied, which continues to be a candidate for the title but needs to be more consistent if it wants to get its way.
