This Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain welcomed Tottenham to the Parc des Princes. The Rouge et Bleu, despite a delicate first period, delighted their audience on the offensive level.
Brazilian international Richarlison opened the scoring in favor of Spurs, with a header from close range, in the 35th minute of play (0-1). As Luis Enrique’s men prepared to return to the locker room, being led to the scoreboard, the light came from Vitinha. Served by Quentin Ndjantou, established to everyone’s surprise as center forward, the Portuguese midfielder unleashed a sumptuous strike to beat Guglielmo Vicario (1-1, 45th).
In the second half, the reigning European champions managed to show a better face. Even if Randal Kolo Muani briefly gave the advantage back to Spurs, scoring with a volley from the right against the club to which he still belongs (1-2, 53rd). With a curled left-footed shot, Vitinha equalized again (2-2, 53rd).
Vitinha, power three
Shortly before the hour mark, Fabian Ruiz allowed PSG to take the lead with a first-intention left shot (3-2, 59th). Pacho then made the break from the right (4-2, 65th). The offensive festival continued with the reduction of the gap from Randal Kolo Muani (4-3, 73rd) and a new achievement from Vitinha, this time from the penalty spot (5-3, 77th). The expulsion of Lucas Hernandez at the end of the match tarnished the party a little.
Following this new victory in the Champions League, the fourth this season, the capital club moved back to second place in the league phase of the Champions League, only ahead of Arsenal. Marquinhos and his teammates are almost guaranteed to extricate themselves from this one. It could be official the next day, December 10, on the pitch in Bilbao.
