Thiago Silva got moved like not allowed by Haaland. - Michael Probst / AP / SIPA

It's a double screenshot that hurts, even if the snapshot is often more cruel than reality. Thiago Silva played Tuesday night as libero of a three-man defense, and as such had to keep the fort as a last resort. But from there to cover Haaland on the goals of the Norwegian prodigy by being located ten meters behind Marquinhos and Kimpembé, it is a blot, really.

Especially since this is not the first time that the Brazilian has been caught in the act on this ground. Emery, already, had made him responsible for off the rout at Camp Nou three years ago, judging that the Brazilian was sucking the Parisian block backwards by defending too low. It is for this reason that he had not established a year later against Real Madrid. This recurring defect was all the more accentuated by Tuchel's choice to defend three behind… Probably to protect his captain from a battle of ragpickers with the Haaland bison when he returned from injury.

By all means, it is a failure. Thiago was eaten by a barely pubescent teenager and he made everyone back off. At 34 and at the end of the contract in June, who knows if the Auriverde defender did not play his last Champions League match yesterday before the Yellow Wall? Tuchel must ask the question, too.
