FOOTBALL Paris was not up to par, and it shows in the numbers …
There are the score, 3-1, and there are other numbers. Those who have less importance than the scoreboard, obviously, but generally reflect the relative strength of an encounter. And they are not really in favor of Paris, it is the least we can say. The stat sheet recovered at the end of the PSG-Barça, we chose three that reflect the Catalan domination.
The PSG has not made efforts
The stat. Barcelona ran two kilometers more than Paris
Say like that, but it may seem Benin know that Barcelona hottest PSG Wednesday night at Parc des Princes. 110.8 km for the Blaugrana against 108.6 for the Parisians. A small gap? Yes, but the problem is that Paris had the ball 38% of the time, and has spent his match trying to take it back, so, by running over their opponents. The Barcelona have made a lot more races than their opponents to stand while the Parisians have not done laundry sick, even far away. In the end, the Parisians have even less ran into this match as their average over the season (112km). And against such an opponent, do not make the effort, it does not work.
The middle of the PSG is eat
The stat: 83% pass completion to Paris only
The PSG did not make the weight in midfield and it felt. Dominated by dry Catalans, they rarely able to get out of their camp itself. In figures, it gives 339 completions on 409 attempted, only 83% success rate. Over the year, PSG usually run at 91%. Conclusion: no Verratti and Thiago Motta was fatal to the Parisian middle-Rabiot Cabaye Matuidi-eaten by his opponent and unable to bring the danger on the Catalan goal. FYI, Barca has managed 89% of his passes on Wednesday night against 91% for the year.
PSG still crunched front of goal
The stat: Paris has so many shots on goal as Barcelona
It could be a reason for hope for Paris if it was not to bang your head on the walls for several months. PSG has drawn as many shots on goal as Barca (five shots each) but as usual, it was abominable in the finish. Cavani has obviously been the conductor of this partition of low blows, despite a pretty darn well stopped by Ter Stegen. “We had opportunities but in a game like that you have them, you have to score,” summarizes Marquinhos. For even dominated, if the PSG was an unrealistic, it would still have a chance to qualify …
The Parisian strikers can not play depth
The stat (!) Paris was caught offside six times
For a supposed team playing against the it borders malpractice. PSG has been saplings six times facing the offside Barça (add it to one or two omissions obviously referees). A ridiculously high figure, the average being about 2.5 times per game. This proves what? That PSG attackers do not know well take the depth or launch the opening time and do not make the effort to get back into position correctly. Well, it aims above all, Cavani, which the six Parisian offside eight for him.
