Still missed! Barça has obviously found its bane. This time, it was only a group match, but as in the knockout stages to go to 2021 and as in the quarter-finals returned in 2024, PSG came to prevail over the Blaugrana lawn on Wednesday (2-1).
A series all the more impressive than on its last 52 games played at home in the Champions League, the Catalan club has only lost … three games. The three matches against PSG. Three matches in which Barça also opened the scoring.
But two supersonic breakthroughs of Nuno Mendes, left side, and Achraf Hakimi, right side, will have ruined the hopes of revenge of Barça. And for Thierry Henry, the fault is mainly in Hansi Flick, the Barcelona coach, guilty of having played his defense far too high.
Hansi Flick, the gross error
“” You can't play a champions League match with such a high line, I'm sorry. Against the best teams, you will always be exposed. The slightest race can end with a goal and that's exactly what happened against PSG “, He explained on the CBS set.
“” Sometimes coaches can be too obstinate with their strategy, and that ends up harming them in crucial matches ”, continued the former striker of the French team, for whom it is therefore suicidal to play high against a team like PSG.
