Neymar and Paris SG have moved a few inches from their dream of winning the Champions League.
Everything had started so well in Lisbon.
After a quarter won in added time against Atalanta Bergamo (2-1) then a controlled semi-final against RB Leipzig (3-0), PSG confidently approached the first C1 final in its history, against Bayern Munich on August 23.
The opportunity is good for the club, which celebrates its fifty years.
The years of investments of its wealthy Qatari owner, with the symbol of the EUR 400 million spent in the summer of 2017 to attract Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, would finally pay off ... but neither of the two superstars will tip the meeting on its side .
Worse, a former PSG house, Kingsley Coman, seals Parisian hopes with an unstoppable head.
"Ney" leaves the lawn with tears in his eyes, but his president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi promises to quickly replay a C1 final.
