At the Parc des Princes,

It will make all those who dream of being in our place, if the place is enviable, but we did not enjoy the lawn of the Parc des Princes much after rest.

Match folded, papers to prepare, and above all want to vibrate.

A quick glance at Barça, led 2-0 by chance in Granada in the Copa del Rey, despite 146 corners, 35 chances, and three or four posts.

Oh cool, we say to ourselves, we are not the only ones to have problems.

Except that after five minutes we understood.

The next opponent of PSG in C1 is still fragile, of course, but he has become himself again.

Griezmann goal in the 8th, Messi's post in the 90th, Jordi Alba equalizer in the 92nd.

Final score?

5-3.

Barça eats everything that's happening at the moment, and we find a team that stifles its opponents and can score with every action.

Barça progresses, PSG blah

What do we mean?

Something is happening in Catalonia, and it is hard to say the same for good old PSG, despite the arrival of Pochettino on the bench.

3-0 victory against Nîmes, very good, but this second half, we are talking about it.

As if the guys didn't want to come back to the lawn.

45 minutes to suffer and to let the Gardois make believe things: 19 shots for the red lantern at the Park.

So soft shots from the knee, or completely bazaar, for the most part, but 19 shots anyway and more than 30 balls hit in the Paris area!

Pochettino can sell us the defeat in Lorient as an accident, and we have the right to mention the absentees (Navas, Verratti, Neymar), but this Parisian team is unable to impose an impression of power over the duration of the same match, so let's not talk about several in a row.

"We had our head in the classico", pleads Pochettino

Frédéric Arpinon, coach of the worst team in the championship, who is hard to see saving the asses this season, should have landed with the sweeties and the fear of taking six.

However, he had sent another message: "I had asked the boys to go get them high, not to be afraid to play, because I thought we could hang them despite their offensive quality.

In the first half we were a little shy, but then it was much better ”.

Here is where we are: the red lantern which comes to the Park in the hope of bringing back something.

He lacked a path, let's face it, but what Paris showed outside of Mbappé's goal after the break bordered on poverty.

What does Pochettino say about it this time: "The reaction of the team was good after Lorient, we controlled the game all the time even if we eased off a bit with the result".

A little a lot, even.

Normal, completes the Argentine coach, the match against OM was in everyone's mind.

"Sunday is a derby, we know what it means for our team and for the supporters, I think the players had that in mind, and it automatically reduces the energy expenditure on the field".

The former coach of Spurs, however, promises that his men will be at block from the first to the last minute Sunday night in prime time on Canal.

Considering the condition of the Olympian corpse, half of every other half could still be enough, however.
