Pep Guardiola is not spared from the press
“Federico Valverde’s hat-trick forces Manchester City into a miracle” writes the Daily Mail. The Skyblues were swept away last night at the Bernabéu and this defeat bears the name of Pep Guardiola for many media. THE Mirror believes Real Madrid genius taught Pep Guardiola a lesson. The Spaniard has caused a lot of ink to flow in England, but for less glorious reasons. Singled out in particular because of his tactical choices considered doubtful, the Citizens coach is not spared. “Pep Guardiola received a real kick” indicates the Mirror in its interior pages. After a tactical battle already lost last year in this same confrontation, the Spaniard did it again and finds himself in a bad position before the return leg next week. Same observation in France where we speak of a “City without reaction and without Peps” in reference to the tactician. A difficult evening for Pep Guardiola.
Ousmane Dembélé hits hard for his return
If PSG won 5-2 against Chelsea, it was partly thanks to Ousmane Dembélé. Back at the forefront of the attack, the Ballon d’Or showed his legs, as evidenced by his perfectly concluded solitary ride to regain the advantage shortly before half-time. “Dembouz lived up to his status” For Le Figaro. We had some doubts regarding his state of form given the recent physical problems but Ousmane Dembélé responded in the best possible way. He was still replaced midway through the second half, as a sign that Luis Enrique wants to take the most precautions for his number 10.
Filip Jorgensen imitates Antonin Kinsky
At Chelsea, there is a man who is particularly singled out. It’s goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. “Another European evening, another English club and another error from a second goalkeeper” indicates the Daily Mirror which refers to Antonin Kinsky’s 2 huge balls with Tottenham on Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, the Czech was imitated by the Dane. A quarter of an hour from the end and while he was constantly trying to go short since the start of the game, the goalkeeper had the ball stolen by Bradley Barcola and Vitinha was quick to crucify him. Same target for Daily Mail who believes Jorgensen’s nervousness derailed Liam Rosenior’s plan as the score was 2-2 at the time of his error.
