At last.

After a start to the season during which Georginio Wijnaldum had delivered anonymous performances at best, the Netherlands captain came out of the shadows in Leipzig.

In a team without a master plan, the former Liverpool midfielder had the immense merit of planting the two goals of a PSG not unhappy to leave Germany with a point (2-2).

"When we look at the end of the match, we lost the ball too easily and we did not know how to realize our opportunities, estimated on Canal + the summer transfer window flop became a" hero "of an evening.

If you look at it that way, yes, maybe [Leipzig] deserves this result but when you see the big chances we had, then maybe we deserved better tonight.

Admittedly, Mbappé could have folded the case before Kimpembe foolishly decided to play leapfrog in his own area to allow Szoboszlai to equalize from the penalty spot.

But the overall indigence in the game of the leader of the L1, very happy to see Donnarumma push back the peno which would have made 2-0 for Leipzig at the start of an apocalyptic meeting, encourages us to take a serious step back.

Too easy ball losses

“At times, we played well, controlled the match, creating opportunities that we did not take advantage of, however insists Wijnaldum, who will turn 31 on November 11.

Sometimes we lost the ball too easily and that complicated things for us in the second half.

"

For this PSG, everything seems "complicated" in fact.

But so far, Mauricio Pochettino and his team are doing without serious consequences, even if they have lost the lead in Group A of the Champions League to Manchester City, without mercy for Bruges (4-1).
