In dirty sheets.

PSG lost Wednesday during the third day of the Champions League in Leipzig (2-1), after having opened the scoring.

Di Maria missed the break penalty and the Germans ended up winning.

The Parisians, who finished at 9, will have to whip to qualify.

Kimpembe, again ...

Undisputed holder this season with the departure of Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpembe can not shake off a certain feverishness.

With him, there is always this feeling that error, raise or placement, can come at any time.

Tonight, well before his expulsion at the end of stoppage time, he conceded the penalty which allowed the Germans to win, thanks to Forsberg (57th).

We can say that he is a bit unlucky on this ball which falls on his arm, but this is not the first time that this has happened to him in the Champions League.

Before that, it was the entire Parisian defense that was at fault on the equalizer of Nkunku (42nd), who had time to have a coffee before launching his shot from entering the area.

Di Maria, angel and demon

Everything had started well for the Parisians, authors of a convincing start to the match.

Invested, serious, they heard their coach, who had called for a real collective match the day before to compensate for the many absences.

Neymar, Mbappé and Icardi on the flank, Di Maria was eagerly awaited in the offensive animation and it was he who launched his team, well served by Kean (6th).

The Argentinian then had the break at the tip of his foot, with a beautifully scratched penis by Kean.

But his strike, a little soft and halfway up, did not deceive Gulacsi.

At 2-0 within a quarter of an hour of play, it would certainly not have been the same ...

And now the oars

PSG have extenuating circumstances for this defeat, with a jam-packed infirmary (Verratti, Draxler, Bernat in addition to those already mentioned) and the expulsion of Gueye 20 minutes from the end.

But that doesn't change the fact that now he's going to have to whip to get through.

Good news anyway, Manchester United lost to Basaksehir.

The Parisians are three points behind the English and the Germans after its weakest first leg of the QSI era.

Receiving Leipzig on the next day, three weeks from now, will be vital, before a scorching trip to Old Trafford.

It would be nice to get a few players back by then.
