Paris hooked by Manchester City (2-2), compromised qualification – The Équipe.fr

In conceding the draw against Manchester City (2-2) on Wednesday at Parc des Princes, while leading the score, paris Saint-Germain has jeopardized its chances of qualifying for the semi-finals of the champions League. The team of Laurent Blanc, leading to the score before undergoing equalization Fernandinho (72), will also happen next Tuesday the return of Blaise Matuidi and David Luiz, suspended after each received a yellow card.

The weakness of the Citizens had yet been targeted: their defense. It was she who facilitated the task of a PSG far from transcendent but took the Fernando de error of assessment which missed the pass, author of a pass through the middle after a first stimulus Joe Hart to equalize with Ibrahimovic (41). Then it’s a missed clearance of Otamendi sent a corner which brought the goal of Adrian Rabiot (59th), already scorer in the eighth return to Chelsea (2-1).

Paris did not ask so much as before, Ibra had missed a penalty (14th) and had proved inaccurate in its attempts (15e, 24e, 33e). City, meanwhile, also proved he could play on its strengths in the occurrence Kevin De Bruyne, who managed to deceive Trapp (38th). Originally this goal? A crazy pass by Matuidi for Rabiot in midfield and David Luiz too short to intercept the pass Fernandinho to the Belgian.

Many above the cleaners in the second period, the Parisians could score a third goal but the Swedish giant has found the post (62). Ten minutes later, opportunistic Fernandinho equalized, after a cross from Sagna for Citizens never brilliant but devilishly effective (3 shots on target, 2 goals).

Some (small) whistles to the announcement of his name, cheering on his first ride on the right side, Serge Aurier is back in the professional team of PSG on Wednesday evening, being tenured by Laurent Blanc. The Ivorian defender was very offensive with several well-chosen centers in the first period (5th, 15th, 39th). Silly foul on Gael Clichy Aurier (11th) even brought a yellow card for the French side. His copy was fairly clean until he missed work on the equalization of Citizens where it against the striking Fernandinho (72). We note still picture: Thiago Silva who types his hands after a successful intervention of the Brazilian on De Bruyne (55)

<. p> in the 12th minute, Bacary Sagna is guilty of a foul on David Luiz in the Mancunian surface. The referee, who may have forgotten a penalty for Matuidi earlier (7th), not happy fault for PSG. Zlatan Ibrahimovic advances, of course, and pulls his penalty to the right of Joe Hart that perfectly relaxes and distracts the attempt of the Swedish giant. Long doubtful for this match, Hart again proved why it was so important for a training City whose defense is the main weakness. It is the only goalkeeper to have hijacked two penalties this season in the Champions League. He had already prevailed in the group phase against Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-1). He also arrested three of the last four penalties conceded by his team in C1.
