The alarm clock is hard in Barcelona. This time, given the context with a Paris Saint-Germain decimated opposite, the Catalans really believed there and were convinced to be the favorites of this shock. But that was without counting on the Luis Enrique team who, despite the absence of many major players, showed having almost unlimited resources to undermine Barça and any team that will appear in front of it. 2-1 victory in the end for Paris, with a very large second period at the end. Inevitably, on the other side of the Pyrenees, the reactions are rather strong this Thursday morning.
Aware of the superiority of PSG, the Catalan press does not fail to highlight the GAP which separates the two formations currently. “Barça, without antidote for another champion's football lesson”explains for example Mundo Deportivo. “Barça has lost the ball and the match without anyone being able to say that it was not deserved”indicates the pro-Barça publication in another article, and we can also read that “PSG has mastered and showed that it had something more right now.

Very discreet in the second half “. The newspaper AS There is also no dead hand: “After an excellent first period, distributing passes and assists as if there was no tomorrow, he faded in the second period, with an awkward and without ideas game. It is clear that he must still improve a lot if he wants to raise the Ballon d'Or next year ”. Back to earth for Barça therefore, and for Lamine Yamal…
