That’s not exactly how Paris Saint-Germain and Thomas Tuchel had planned it. Nor can they simply argue, either with the kick at the beginning or with the final score. Foul by Abdou Diallo on Anthony Martial in the penalty area. Manchester United’s new field centre,Bruno Fernandes, the metronome, took a small leap and jumped, but misconnected the ball, the shot was recorded, but the VAR gave Fernandes a break. The goalkeeper had gone too far, one jump, deceiving goalkeeper Keylor Navas with his fake hesitation.
And so, 23 minutes after the start of the new Champions League season, PSG was left behind. The PSG reaction? Little or nothing. The host deflated. The players winceed and when they accelerated, the Parisians were singled out. Kylian Mbappé hit the left but did not pass Alex Tuanzebe. At the other end, Marcus Rashford ran into the left inner channel at a terrifying speed. didn’t scare Diallo.
All the unbridled speed was the most productive thing a low-energy PSG had gathered in the first half. The French were advanced and advanced through a lively and forged Manchester United. Fernandes arrived about a moment before the break, and then after forty-five minutes!Manchester United’s blouse was and perhaps not to everyone’s liking, but Tuchel needed acute research into rest to galvanize a lukewarm reaction from his team.
Of course, it was just an organization-level match, there was no desire to dramatize yet. The Champions League stratifies European clubs’ football. A wealthy elite has a tendency to dominate the festival in the circular of 16, and there are other plans underway to consolidate inequality forever. That is, the PSG does not care about elimination in the first circular, except Leipzig disappointed the French; however, the German team is also not a brave intruder, but a franchise of an energy drinks giant.
The game ignited in the middle of the moment, with flying tackles, acceleration behind it and a much-needed reaction from the host. Mbappé tested David De Gea before the PSG leveled up with an absurd purpose opposed to his side, Anthony Martial placing a headbutt in front of his team. Suddenly, United, having lost its shape, had to endure. PSG played with zeal and enthusiasm, with the confidence of a team that almost conquered Europe, and a pitchforth ahead that is their ultimate weapon, albeit a little. Tuchel is still playing with a balance to accommodate Neymar and Mbappé, but as Array PSG appeared nothing but the sum of its parts. The Parisian equation is 3 plus the rest. You can’t win the European Cup like that. Munich ruled the eighth round of August exactly because they liked the system.
And the PSG had a demonstration of how groups can thrive through hard paints and stick to a plan, how much more a team should be than it is. ‘in divide. Manchester United were the last club to win at Parc des Princes in the Champions League and on Tuesday English club and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer achieved an excellent victory thanks to Rashford’s winner in the 87th minute. Substitute Paul Pogba fed number 10, who turned Sarabia around and delivered a cold ending to inflict defeat in Paris.
It was a March 2019 replay when Rashford also proved to be a fit winner. That night, Solskjaer consolidated his position as head coach on an emotional wave when the Norwegian evoked the spirit of ’99. Tuesday’s victory was less dramatic, but no less valuable For a Manchester United team going through a turbulent period, Solskjaer and United taught PSG what should be transparent to anyone in a settlement sport: the collective wins.
