Four days before a crucial trip to Dortmund, PSG, certainly winner of Nantes (2-1), did not really reassure this Saturday as part of the 15th day of L1.
Wednesday in Dortmund, Paris will have no room for error. For the sixth and final act of the group stage of the Champions League, Luis Enrique’s men cannot afford to lose. Even a draw could be synonymous with eviction from the C1 in the event of Newcastle’s victory over AC Milan at the same time. In four days, PSG will therefore not be able to expose themselves as they did this Saturday evening in front of Nantes. Above all, he will have to be much more realistic.
Against the Canaries who were perfectly disciplined and very inclined to project themselves forward at the slightest opening, the Parisians sinned in offensive animation, like a Mbappé lacking inspiration and success at the front. approaching the zone of truth. Shortly before the break, Barcola, starting for the occasion, nevertheless had the dazzlingness necessary to find the net from an off-center position – his very first goal in red and blue (1-0, 41ste).
Kolo Muani, quite a symbol
Yes, but this season Paris is capable of the best and the worst, subject to culpable laxity which the opponent generally does not fail to take advantage of. Mohamed did not need to be asked to equalize with a beautiful uncrossed header from a corner from Mollet after returning from the locker room (1-1, 55e). As a symbol, the FCN, however, ended up lowering the flag on an opportunistic recovery within six meters of its former home scorer, Kolo Muani, launched late in the battle and well placed after a Lafont parade on a header from Hernandez (2-1, 83e).
