For the Corriere Dello Sportthe Parisian number 7 “put on a show to bring down his teammates in the selection», Theo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud, they were completely overwhelmed at the Parc des Princes. The pink paper newspaper is very critical in its interior pages, declaring that Milan has been made “torture» by the Parisian reminders. “Pioli was lost and the Milanese team too quickly became tactically unmanageable.» Small note of sarcasm with this Italian analysis: “PSG must have been surprised to find avenues wider than the Champs Elysées to get to the goal.» To conclude, the Italian press thinks that Stefano Pioli must review his tactical choices, defending high has not paid off lately. But the biggest flop in Milan remains Rafael Leão for the Italian press, in three matches he has not found the net in the Champions League and gives the impression of not wanting to play as a team. “He’s going to have to pull himself together”, as stated La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

De Gea returning to Manchester United?
In England, we can see David De Gea’s face on the front page of the tabloid The Sun. Indeed according to the newspaper, four months after letting the 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper leave at the end of his contract, Manchester United are preparing to turn around and offer him a short-term lease. A confusing decision, but one that has a logical explanation. André Onana is expected to miss a large number of matches when he participates in the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations soon, so the Red Devils want to have a goalkeeper capable of competing with him in his absence. Now, the final decision rests with the player, who has not played a minute as a professional since his departure and who has taken his ouster badly. But he has friends at United, as recalled The Suna few days ago Bruno Fernandes, who recently assured that he met De Gea in Manchester, and expressed his regret that the Spaniard did not stay.
