Paris St. Germain experienced a nightmare in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Liverpool FC. The French lost because they awarded a myriad of the best options before the break. The game in the Stade de France ended 0-1 (0-0) on Wednesday)
The hosts recorded ten good chances in the first section of the game – including some so -called “100 percent”. But either the Parisian players missed the Gate of Liverpool or the outstanding goalkeeper of the “Reds”, Alisson Becker, thwarted the leadership of the home side with world -class parades.
Opportunity for opportunities about opportunities
First, Joao Neves missed after storm partner Bradley Barcola had passed a pass from Dembele and the shooting track was actually free (16th). Then the hosts celebrated when Chwitscha Kwarazchelia hit the goal after a corner – but after the Var intervention, the referees decided on the sidelines.
While the LFC completely disappointed and offered almost nothing offensive, the French demanded penalty: Ibrahima Konaté turned the hurried barcola on the penalty area, again the video assistant became active – but there was no decision in favor of the Paris (27th).
Also a triple chance in which Dembele first found his master again in Becker and Barcola did not go into the goal in two attempts did not bring the hosts (27th). Becker later cleared Becker again, again against Kwarazchelia (37th). Dembele drog a free kick from 20 million into the wall (40th). Shortly before the break, a promising pass on Diogo Jota – that would have been the first and only goal opportunities for the English.
No change after the change of sides
Shortly after the break, the Liverpool FC seemed to be a little to clap. But also when Paris made the pressure of the first section a little less, the team from Klopp was not able to secure any real part of the game. For that, Becker had to save against the Georgian Kwarazchelia (54th). But at least the British now managed to keep the hosts away from their own penalty area.
PSG is punished hard by Liverpool
And then it came, as it happens more often in game courses: Liverpool scored the goal. After a long blow, substitute Núñez prevailed against Marquinhos and alluded to Harvey Elliott on the right and just before. The joker shot twelve meters from the goal from a full run. PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was still on the ball with his fingertips, but the completely surprising defeat of the French was perfect.
