Keylor Navas was once again huge -

Matthias Schrader / AP / SIPA

We tackled a lot Mauricio Pochettino and his eternal clichés at a press conference, but we can hardly blame him for having opened doors in the face of the obvious in the post-match conference on Wednesday night.

His team "had a bit of success" on the lawn of the Allianz Arena, in any case just enough to come out with one more goal than the Bavarian bulldozer in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League.

But the coach of Paris Saint-Germain can also be satisfied with the high class performance - let's also use clichés - of his “backbone” Navas, Marquinhos (in intermittent mode of the show), Neymar and Mbappé.

All of them contributed to the Parisian feat in their own way.

Keylor Navas, you are not from our galaxy

Slight embarrassment when thinking about the topics to be addressed after this crazy match.

One subject keeps coming up on the table, the heroism of Keylor Navas.

You can send it from all angles, but it ends up hitting you like a boomerang.

After disgusting FC Barcelona at the Park, the Costa Rican has therefore put it back in Munich.

Better.

A number to illustrate the madness.

Of the 12 shots framed by the madmen of Hansi Flick, the Parisian goalkeeper released ten, some of which were unreal, such as the hand stop in front of Müller… Of course, words are starting to fail us, as well as they are missing at Poche.

“Keylor is one of the best goalies in the world, and we are very happy to have him with us”.

The words of Colin Dagba at the microphone of RMC Sport are not more expansive (“Navas does us a lot of good”) but have the merit of existing.

As for those of Benjamin Pavard, they reflect a certain frustration: “they may have had four or five shots, they scored three times.

We must have fired 30 or 31 times… ”Saving the furniture and disgusting the enemy, a double success for San Keylor.

"Neymarquinhos", joga bonito

May Ney forgive us.

His recent setbacks and his ability to lose the light in a tunnel have guided us towards a bad faith borrowing bet before kick-off.

Under the threat of a suspension in the second leg, we could see the Brazilian take a yellow in 10th minute, big max.

Lost.

Neymar not only kept to diamonds, but in addition, he pulled out the big game from the 3rd minute.

A boss's ball conduct to go and fix the defense, a body feint and a perfect shift as a dice pass for Mbappé.

Clean.

25 minutes later, rebelote.

Upon receipt of a second ball recovered in the sequence of a set piece, Ney sends a brilliant ball to Marquinhos who takes failing all the Bavarian defense.

Science is still trying to find out how the two men came to understand each other so well, but it has yet to be answered.

On our side, we hesitate between telepathy, a Bluetooth connection or the 5G of the vaccine, and we imagine the dialogue a little like this:

- Marqui, don't move, I'll send you a treat, tell me some news.

-Ok Ney, that's good, I have burnt adductors, I can't go back to defend with the others, lol.

Did the Brazilians go too fast or was the German defense slow to move up the offside line?

The truth probably lies between the two.

We salute in any case the abnegation of Marquinhos, who could have come out much earlier, but preferred to leave the lawn as a boss on a sequence of accuracy to make 80% of Ligue 1 attackers pale.

Kylian, the responsibilities

Speaking of boss, Kylian Mbappé has subscribed to a masterclass package in first-leg Champions League matches, with the option of defiling legendary stadiums.

“I like this kind of game, even if it hasn't always smiled on me,” he said after the meeting on RMC Sport.

But I'm not here to hide, I like this kind of games, I like to be decisive.

»In his first duel won a little by chance against a Neuer guilty of having forgotten to heat his tires by -12 degrees, we will prefer everything else.

Starting with his second goal which for once is a masterpiece of mischief.

After 15 views, the impression remains the same.

Everything indicates that Kyky is going to get the rolled up little net opposite to Thierry Henry, and the guy closes at the last moment.

To make you pass the Bavarian defenders for children.

“He's a great player.

He has shown it again today, ”Pavard bows.

If Mbappé was where we expected him, he also illustrated himself by putting his hands in the sludge of the game without the ball at the request of Pochettino, to burn his legs to the point of seeing him - a fact quite rare for be stressed - put your hands on your knees after a final pressing in stoppage time. "The coach wanted me to close Kimmich's passing lines and make Bayern work in the deep because they don't like it.

No, obviously they didn't like it.
