To be sure to finish first in Pool A, Paris Saint-Germain was not to lose on the pitch of Real Madrid this Tuesday, November 26. It's done. Without being seductive and sometimes disturbing, PSG brings from Santiago Bernabeu a happy draw (2-2). Real Madrid, qualified before the meeting has long mistreated the Paris team.
At the same time timid and apathetic, the Parisians conceded quickly the opener on an action initiated by Eden Hazard, left side: the Belgian launches right side Federico Valverde who combines with Dani Carvajal before serving Isco whose recovery hits the pole , but Karim Benzema lurks and comes to conclude this beautiful action (17th). In fox of surfaces, the French striker scored his 63rd goal in the Champions League and ended the invincibility of Keylor Navas who had not taken a goal this season in the competition.
Led, the PSG at a trot, never really reacted. On the contrary, after the opener, we were closer to 2-0 than 1-1 with two far-off shots from Toni Kroos and an attempt by Dani Carvajal forcing Keylor Navas to make three parades before the match ...
Video assistance cancels PSG goal
Just before the break, on one of the only Paris incursions in the first period, Mauro Icardi is mowed by Thibaut Courtois in the box. The referee logically points to the penalty point and excludes Real's Belgian goalkeeper. Except after watching the video, the Portuguese whistle decides to reconsider his decision for a stroller Idrissa Gana Gueye on Marcelo ... in the middle of the field at the start of the action. What a little upset players and the Parisian bench and brought water to the mill detractors of video assistance.
After the break, Neymar replaced Gueye to bring more percussion but it is once again Navas who was decisive input by repelling a shot from point blank Benzema. PSG, still shy and cut in two subitiously consecutively concedes a second goal of a stung head of Karim Benzema on a center Marcelo (79th) before, finally, to rebiffer.
PSG is doing well
Well helped by Raphaël Varane and Thibaut Courtois, Kylian Mbappé comes to close the gap, at the reception of a center down to ground of Thomas Meunier. 2-1 in the 81st minute and 2-2 two minutes later: on a center of Juan Bernat, the ball returns to the feet of Pablo Sarabia who, without control, deposits the ball in the skylight. PSG returns from Madrid with a draw and is doing very well as the Parisians have been harmless and without ideas for over an hour. Real Madrid who dominated for a long time, even touching the post in extra time, did not have his revenge after the 3-0 defeat in Paris.
