We almost missed it.
The hangover on waking without being drunk from the night before.
Painful.
This unreal feeling, the skin that you pinch a thousand times in the hope of waking up.
It couldn't have happened a third time!
Yes.
The Maudit Saint-Germain has outdone himself to add a new brick to the Pantheon of European cataclysms.
After 151 minutes, not perfect but enough to forget all the purges in Ligue 1, PSG fell at the same time as Donnarumma into the irrational.
By the way Gigio, well done.
This failure is a baptism, a sign of belonging.
Here you are Parisian in soul and flesh.
Because there is no more PSG than everything to fuck up when everything is acquired.
Here you are sitting alongside your eldest Buffon, Angel Di Maria, Thomas Meunier, Presnel Kimpembe and so many others who have contributed before you to shaping the Parisian legend, from Camp Nou (2017) to Parc des Princes (2019).
It remains to be determined where to place the episode of March 9, 2022 in the trilogy of hell.
With only one certainty: the remontada remains up there.
Advance
: Two goals half an hour from the end.
It's less than at Camp Nou, but more than against MU (Paris had only a goal lead since the half-hour mark of the return match).
Above all, the idea of serenity was the same as before facing the Red Devils U19s.
“I found that we were too happy after the first match, reacts the former coach of PSG Guy Lacombe.
Opposite is Real.
It's a huge club, you have to keep your feet on the ground when you meet a team like that.
And then 1-0, it was not a big lead.
We should have tried to kill the match with more conviction.
The possession phases are useful and interesting, but Paris should have continued to attack, especially since Real were no longer there.

The fact (fail) of the game:
Where Gigi Buffon's hand fault in 2019 sins by its lack of originality, Donnarumma's masterpiece is the result of an excess of panache.
Right when we said to ourselves, after the first leg, that his kicking game had still really improved.
That'll teach us to talk too fast.
The constants:
arbitration and by extension, the mind.
It is ALWAYS the referee's fault.
The penalty not whistled for PSG at the Camp Nou, the severe penalty on the hand of Kimpembe and, now, the excessive pressing of Karim Benzema on Donnarumma.
With each time the gift of setting fire to the house.
Jimmy Algerino, elder of the house.
“It's not just a problem with the refereeing.
As soon as there is this feeling of injustice, instead of galvanizing the team and mobilizing the players, on the contrary, the collective becomes inexperienced and young again.
They become lambda players again.

Lacombe will speak of a "lack of mental toughness", or lack of strong leaders on the pitch, call it what you will.
“We criticized Thiago Silva for his lack of charisma on these events, continues Algerino, we will now blame it on Marquinhos, talented, valiant who lacks this leading role that Ramos could have had”, leader of the infirmary and the Camp des Loges sports hall.
The off-field facts:
From the comeback, we will remember the little arm discussion between Verratti, Matuidi, Meunier and Draxler a few days before the return match.
From Manchester United, we keep the haggard face of Neymar on the whistled penalty on Kimpembe.
From the Bernabeu, we will remember that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, pissed, would have tried to enter the referees' locker room at the final whistle.
Marca had access to the referee's report:
“After the game, PSG president and sporting director Leonardo showed aggressive behavior and tried to enter the referees' dressing room.
They blocked the door and the president deliberately hit the flag of one of the referees, breaking it.

The consequences:
There is always the idea of a Parisian apocalypse after each rout in the Champions League linked to the lack of attractiveness that would result from it.
History has nevertheless proven that defeats have all been followed by great blows in the transfer window.
The problem being that this year, it will be done the wrong way: Mbappé, the man who has carried the team for a year, will go for free to Real.
Double defeat.
PSG will have more trouble this time than the others to recover.
The verdict:
If the comeback remains untouchable, the Bernabeu fiasco offers a richer scenario than the 2019 elimination at the Parc des Princes.
Silver medal of the lose for the evening of March 9, 2022.
