• Statistics.All about 3-0 in Paris

Last year, Barcelona beat Madrid without Messi and last night the PSG took it ahead without Neymar or Mbappé. The white team, sad and thrashed at the premiere of the competition that ruled mercilessly recently, does not improve its strength. In Paris, in his first duel of category, he confirmed the bad pulse he has been exhibiting all summer, both in the friendlies and at the beginning of the official task. The league league does not invite panic, but a blunt defeat on the first day always bothers the trip a lot.

Neither the relatives of Bale and James would have believed in June that both would start the next Champions League in Real Madrid. Well, there were the two, in a scenario of etiquette, the Park of the Princes, and forming a very attractive attack front, at least, in names. Zidane pulls them, we do not know if convinced or resigned, without troops that give him greater confidence. But one thing is a drawing with good sound in a video game and another is on the grass really, the toughest tournament in the world. Together with the two resurrected, Zidane placed Benzema and Bale to win the PSG in figures, a rich shield of fame precisely for that reason, for the accumulation of stars. Last night, however, he had none - between injuries and penalties - and instead of being diluted, Tuchel's team tightened the nuts to Madrid from the beginning.

Neymar and Mbappé burst out laughing in the box with Di María's second goal, at half an hour. Parisian festival for the brega, not for the glitter. The German coach raised a game of high pace and suffocating pressure to the most delicate area of ​​his rival, the center of the field, where instead of signing this summer he has let go. The king of the European Cup began to sink through the control room, unable to dominate the night in his early stages, always in suspense. With James closer to the attack than the core, Kroos and Casemiro could not with the French troop, led by Marquinhos, the pivot, and escorted by Verratti and the tireless Gueye.

Prisoners of burden

There were three more support from the forward side, Meunier and Bernat. Too many They pressed up after each loss, without air so that Madrid could get the ball. In addition, the whites returned to creak at the first exchange, as in the last league games. It was stepping on the PSG area and marking, in a quick combination on the left. Icardi went down to Bernat, who put her from the baseline to the small area. Di Maria's shot left Courtois wrong in the photo, for sneaking right through the stick he was protecting.

Sparklers at the bottom of the ultras, local party. He had had a good Hazard shot in those first sets, but he almost went away. The effectiveness of the PSG was its best gasoline, before an increasingly dwarfed Madrid, really imprisoned by the stress at times. Casemiro was doing at night in the organization, between long passes and losses. The lateral ones did not exist, and James soon began to seem exhausted. A PSG of brega and intensity was dominating the night without response in his adversary. And with the torch in his hand, Di Maria. In the absence of Neymar and Mbappé, the Argentine appeared all over the attack front, without concealing the extra motivation involved in facing the team that sold him years ago.

Bale and the VAR

His deployment stunned the defense of Madrid, petrified before his shot in the 2-0. Gueye had assisted him by taking a heart to Casemiro and Kroos. Bad face of the whites, little accustomed in recent years to suffer in the group stage. At the instant of the second goal he could shorten distances, but the VAR annulled Bale's elegant Vaseline to Keylor for having touched the ball on his arm. It would have been a good way to enter the game, but I was not affectionate night with Madrid.

He tried to re-engage in the start of the second half, between his greatest interest and the unimpressed retreat ordered by Tuchel, waiting for a counter to finish off the victory. Each French attack was dangerous, forced Courtois and without reaction from Zidane, stunned by changes like his men on the grass, at a speed very different from that of his rival. Meunier in 90 rounded the win. Madrid seems frozen in its version last season.
