Even if PSG ultimately did well on Wednesday evening, its first half against Real Sociedad raises some concerns.
Despite its victory (2-0) against Real Sociedad on Wednesday evening in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain was not spared from criticism. Until Kylian Mbappé’s goal, shortly before the hour mark, the capital club delivered a mediocre performance.
“What I don’t understand is that it’s February, and Luis Enrique’s philosophy is to have much more ball control. At this time of the year, against a team that presses for 45 minutes quite high, PSG has no solution.analyzed Samir Nasri on Canal+.
“Against Real or City, it won’t work”
At the break, Luis Enrique did not spare his players in the locker room. “The coach had to pull their ears a little at half-time so that they could rectify the situation. Against Real Madrid or against Manchester City, it won’t work. Against Bayern, perhaps”imagined the former Olympique de Marseille playmaker.
Before possibly facing a big European team, PSG will have to validate their ticket for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The return match against Real Sociedad will take place in Spain on March 5.
