Wednesday evening, during the 7th and penultimate day of the league phase, Paris Saint-Germain was scared but finally found the resources necessary to overcome Manchester City. Led by two goals on the return from the locker room (0-2), Luis Enrique's men made a spectacular end of the match to win (4-2). A very precious victory in the race for qualification. However, this Thursday evening, Jérôme Rothen did not seem completely convinced by the performance of the red and blue. The former AS Monaco player, questioned about the events in his program Rothen ignites, notably estimated that the success of PSG against City lacked consistency and mastery, therefore refusing to talk about a reference match.

“No, this is not a reference match. A reference match is when you dominate an opponent who is normally stronger than you and that the lights are not green, which was the case before this match where some, like me, saw City superior collectively and individually PSG but at the 55th there were 2-0 for City. At halftime, there were 3 shots on each side, there is certainly the offside goal for nothing but the most frank occasions were for City. The only thing you have mastered is the possession of a ball. The reality is that Luis Enrique has a reference match on the possession of a ball, it is a performance to come back by being carried out 0-2 but it is very rare, it is necessary to hold the state of mind but it There were shortcomings. But they did not master the events from 1st to 95th minute and were led 2-0. A such scenario only arrives once a year. For me, a reference match is a total mastery ”. This is said!
