Gonçalo Ramos undoubtedly left the Parc des Princes with contrasting feelings on Wednesday. Admittedly, PSG started this new Champions League campaign as it had finished the previous one: with a broad success. Three months after having swelled Inter Milan in the final, the Parisians gave the lesson to the Atalanta Bergame (4-0).
Admittedly, the Portuguese striker has completed the demonstration of force of the European champions by scoring the fourth Parisian goal in additional time. An achievement that enabled the former Benfica player to unlock his counter after four appearances in Ligue 1 without the slightest goal.
However, Gonçalo Ramos could have him bad at the end of the meeting. While he was expected to start the meeting, consequence of the absences of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, the native of Faro was once again on the bench, Luis Enrique preferring him indeed the young Senny Mayulu, used in false number 9.
Gonçalo Ramos, a record despite everything
Worse, the Spanish technician also preferred Kang-in Lee to him when it came to replacing Senny Mayulu shortly before the time of play and it was therefore necessary that Joao Neves was injured a few minutes later so that the former Barcelonian launched the Portuguese center. The only real specialist in the position, Gonçalo Ramos seems to have further fell in the hierarchy of Parisian attackers.
If he has always started only one and only meeting in the Champions League since the arrival of Luis Enrique, Gonçalo Ramos has nonetheless entered the book of PSG records by equalizing a Kylian Mbappé record. With now 16 goals scored leaving the bench, he is with Le Bondynois the most prolific replacement in the history of the club, all competitions combined.
