When doing the accounts, the story will remember that it was therefore necessary to wait until the 31st day of Ligue 1 to see Paris Saint-Germain to lose a match in the league. It is annoying, inevitably, because this fantastic team could register its name to the pantheon of European football alongside Arsenal, Leverkusen, AC Milan and Juve. And it is frustrating, too, because it was missing only a small match for the FC Nantes record in 1995. But that confirms, if necessary, that a series of this type is an absolute feat on the scale of a season.
The height of the story is that Paris made the match it took to win. But as sometimes happens, Luis Enrique's team took the sky on the head after dominating in all the compartments of the game. The Parisians made 29 shots in this match for a single scored goal. Nice totaled 3 and scored 3 times. All with a bulka, former player of the capital, absolutely extraordinary from start to finish.
The first executioner of Parisians was Morgan Sanson. The former Marseillais showed the park twice, first by concluding a beautiful projection in the first period (0-1, 34th). Then by triggering a beautiful acrobatic recovery at the start of the second (1-2, 46th). Meanwhile, Parisians had resurfaced on a beautiful collective action concluded by Fabian Ruiz (1-1, 41st). But this equalization was only an illusion in a balance of power which almost turned to caricature.
A frustrating scenario for PSG
Ousmane Dembélé, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes or Vitinha all had the ammunition to ignite the park, but Bulka ended up scaling them by leaving a service worthy of Alisson Becker. A scenario completed by all that Paris feared: a goal on a stopped kick, signed Ndayishimiye, with a victorious helmet (1-3, 70th). The most tatillon will obviously say that Arsenal, the best team in Europe in the field, has watched this Achille heel well.
But the story had to be written like this. And the rest will say if it will be beneficial to the Parisians for their fight at the Emirates Stadium. Of course, a first setback breaks the atmosphere in a strictly accounting level, but the configuration of this match can also weld Paris against all the winds. It will be necessary, because they will blow hard, again, in England.
