At the Parc des Princes,

Mancunian visits to the capital would become annoying.

If the scenario is less cruel than two years ago, and the defeat less definitive, the PSG did not reassure for its European curtain raising.

Without Marquinhos and Verratti, this team is losing part of its soul.

Fernandes, the foul penalty

One day, we believed in an evolution of the smart rule for goalkeepers.

The latter would finally have the right to anticipate a hair on the penalties, provided that one of them still touches the line when the opponent strikes.

What naive do we sometimes do.

From now on, the referees spend their time counting the centimeters as if we were at the pétanque tournament in the department.

Thus, poor Navas, who managed the feat of stopping the penalty for Bruno Fernandes, who had been seen persecuting the substitute Manchester goalkeeper during the warm-up, was caught by the VAR, which no obviously had nothing better to do on Tuesday night.

The Portuguese was not mistaken a second time, despite a ridiculous jump that deserved an arrest as soon as he left the Parc des Princes. But finally, the rule says that the shooters have the right to slow down.

What nonsense, frankly.

18 - Since 2012/13, Paris is the team which conceded (18) and conceded (13) the most penalties in the Champions League.

Febrile.

Paris, the adulterated environment

Whenever Verratti is injured, which happens more often than good news on the Covid front, PSG find themselves facing their shortcomings in the creation zone.

Against the English, Tuchel had chosen to line up the least sexy trio in the galaxy.

Danilo in six, Gueye and Herrera a little higher.

Well, guess what?

Neymar and Mbappé had to do their own thing, as usual, knowing that Di Maria had the physical gauge at zero like Richard Gasquet after an hour of play at Roland.

It was innocently thought that Rafinha's recruiting was meant to be used for this, but Tuchel opted to move up to four after halftime with Keane.

The Italian did not achieve much, but the tactical repositioning induced, with Mbappé on the left and Neymar offered PSG their best quarter of an hour of the evening.

The tricolor world champion could have scored a splendid goal without a huge De Gea, but the equalizer finally came with a header against his camp at Martial (55th).

Pogba, back to school rewarded

It was not clear what the Kingdom was criticizing for Pogba lately, but it was enough for Solskjear to leave him on the bench in favor of a 3-5-2 as ugly on paper as effective on the pitch. .

Paulo the good tips came home when Mu started to beg for mercy, and PSG cut the power when they saw his new haircut.

The sequel might have looked like a stinging loss, but Rashford is decidedly a very generous man, and that goes for the pitch too.

The Mancunian striker should have left with a hat-trick if he had been a little less collective or a little more skillful in front of Navas.

But he ended up scoring on his less obvious opportunity, a cross strike with the returning post that goes well (88th).

Another night to remember in Paris!

The Champions League has barely started that Tuchel must already sweat a lot.

In a group which also includes Leipzig, victorious without getting messed up on Tuesday, anything other than a victory next week in Istanbul could cause a small earthquake in Doha.

And the fuse is all found.
