So many emotions!

PSG snatched an extremely important victory against Manchester United on Wednesday night, after a match with a completely crazy scenario.

After a rather sexy start to the match, Thomas Tuchel's men fell back into their old ways, before finally winning thanks in particular to his captain Marquinhos, who scored the 2-1 goal.

A two-faced PSG. 

By dint of insipid performances in recent weeks, we ended up wondering if PSG had lost its modjo.

The first quarter of an hour against Manchester reassured us: yes, Paris still knows how to play ball.

For a moment, Tuchel's men rectified the mistakes of the past by playing simple, with a high block and by exerting constant and efficient pressing, all rewarded by the opening of Neymar's score of a straight cross shot (6th).

Problem, this big better shot only lasted 20 minutes to break everything and the Parisians were punished by a goal against their side signed Danilo, after a blocked shot from Rashford.

Law 12 revisited. 

Far from us the idea of ​​playing the “ouin-ouin”, but we must admit that when Paris plays a big European team, the referee too often tends to put a carrot to the Parisians.

Wednesday, Fred should have been sent off 100 times after his ball on Paredes (22nd), but after calling the VAR, Mr. Orsato decided to adapt rule 12 to his liking and to leave only one yellow.

And as he was on his way, he preferred to give Paredes a rusk a few minutes later.

His fault?

To be crushed by the shoe ... Fred.

Coincidence or coincidence, it was after this long hesitation that Man U equalized.

Hallowed Marqui. 

PSG has only one God and this one is called Marquinhos.

Heroic scorer against Atalanta in the last Final 8 in Lisbon, it is again the Brazilian who came to offer PSG a victory that looks like a small miracle but above all synonymous with immense relief.

Underwater for half the match, Paris could have sunk a hundred times in the face of repeated assaults from Mancuniens but this time luck turned, Neymar finishing the job to ensure victory for his people (1-3, 92nd).

On the brink of elimination, the Parisians finally come out of this crazy evening by being first in Group H, and therefore with their destiny in their hands.

Football, what.
