PSG was scared on Tuesday against Aston Villa. Despite his domination of the first leg at the Parc des Princes and his 3-1 victory, the Parisians certainly expected to suffer. But by leading 2-0 after less than half an hour of play, the French champions seemed to go to a quiet evening.

But that was without counting on a collapse of Luis Enrique players on the return from the locker room. The PSG took the water from all sides and found itself led 3-2 with another half an hour to play and seemed on the edge of the abyss. An incomprehensible situation for Bixente Lizarazu.

“There was a little moment of floating, I do not know if it is sufficiency, deconcentration, an excess of confidence. After an absolutely controlled first period, Paris missed, thus entrusted the former Bavarian to
The team. At one point, they no longer applied themselves and they lost discipline bases, with small superfluous gestures that looked like sufficiency. »»

Bixente Lizarazu points to the players' responsibility

“Paris has completely lost the thread and could not reproduce what made its strength: keep the ball and play the counters”, he continued, making the Parisians first responsible for this situation: “It's their fault, it was Paris who has foiled and I have not seen many players raising my head. »»

“I did not imagine that PSG would lose the thread, he still struck. In the first period, the English attacks were minimalist and the scenario was perfect for everything to turn in favor of PSG. Parisians have lost the compass and everything that makes the quality of their game, conservation and counters that put the defenders in panic. »»
