Luis Enrique’s PSG is clearly sinking into crisis. Leaders of Ligue 1 without a real competitor (for the moment), the Rouge et Bleu nevertheless conceded a second draw in the league, in the wake of their 1-0 defeat in the Champions League. The Parisians came up against FC Nantes last week at the Parc des Princes (1-1) and did not even score against AJ Auxerre (0-0) on Friday for the 14th day of the League 1. With Bradley Barcola once again distressing on his left wing…
The state of form of the 22-year-old French international is particularly worrying, he who shone during his debut at Euro 2024 with the Blues before flying over Ligue 1 to start the current year. Barcola has not been decisive in his last six matches (including his two catastrophic outings in EDF) and his 10 goals no longer give him the honorary status of top scorer in Ligue 1. Jonathan David scored a double during Lille -Brest (3-1) and will wear the top scorer badge next week.
Barcola discreet, Kolo Muani cata!
Achraf Hakimi and his teammates nevertheless dominated the game and attacked in a varied manner to put themselves in a striking position. But the Moroccan full-back did not finish, just like Gonçalo Ramos (even though he scored a point-blank header in front of the Auxerre goal) or even Lee Kang-In. It was therefore not necessary to count on the rides of Barcola on the left… The visitors ended up stumbling on an imperial Donovan Léon, who won in front of Randal Kolo Muani before repelling a strike from Désiré Doué during the last minute of the added time (94th).
After its trip to Salzburg on Tuesday, which should absolutely allow it to win a second match in the LDC, PSG will host OL at the Parc des Princes next weekend, just before a shock against AS Monaco at Louis-II. The reigning French champions are still eight points ahead of OM (which plays at Saint-Etienne on Sunday evening), Losc (which has already played) and Monaco (which hosts Toulouse on Saturday). What if the title race was restarted?
