Never two without three. After March 11, 2015 when PSG had overturned Chelsea and March 11, 2020 where the Ile-de-France resolved their goal behind Dortmund to qualify in the quarterfinals, March 11, 2025 will also enter the history of Paris Saint-Germain. Back to the wall after the defeat (0-1) of the first leg to the Parc des Princes, last Wednesday, the capital's club finally resisted the incandescent atmosphere of Anfield to overcome Liverpool and thus validate its ticket for the next round. A dreamed outcome, which is more like the scenario of this return round where PSG will have suffered this time.
From fault to hero …
Asphyxiated by Reds raised to the block at the start of the game, Paris nevertheless surprised its opponent on a flashing contained by Ousmane Dembélé, well helped by the missed intervention of Ibrahima Konaté (12th). Often dominated and generally very clumsy in the face of the opposing goal, the men of Luis Enrique nevertheless ended up exulting at the end of the night and at the end of a meeting marked by the prowess of a certain Gianluigi Donnarumma. Under the spotlight and once again criticized a few days ago, for its breaches in the big matches, the 26 -year -old transalpine has, in fact, delivered an XXL service in English lands.
Impeccable on his line throughout the meeting, the native of Castellammare di Stabia thus showed very good authority in the air. Aggressive and concentrated, the right -hander of 1m96, not always successful in his foot reminders, has also been imperial to cut the countless Reds centers. A performance that would finally become exceptional after his two stops against Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones during the decisive penalty shootout. Credited by a 9.5 by the FM editorial staff and logically elected man of the match, the person concerned logically enjoyed this masterclass and did not fail to respond to his detractors.
Donnarumma responds to criticism, the cloakroom exults!
“Why did I run in the locker room before shots on goal?” To pee (laughs). No in real life, I had prepared something with my goalkeeper trainer. Critics? I am happy to respond to pseudo journalists who speak without knowing what the job is. On the outward journey, we undergo a shot on framed and a goal. They think it was my fault. But whatever, I still work and I continue to smile ”launched the number 1 of PSG at the microphone of Sky Italia. The Revanchard spirit, the one who won his sixth session of career shooting in career, with anyone marked the spirits on the side of Anfield, starting with that of his coach Luis Enrique.
“The first match was that of Alisson, the second that of Donnarumma. The penalties also reflect the team that we are. Gigio was magnificent, but the last shot to the goal was fired by (Désiré) Doué, who was 19 years old. It must be added that Liverpool has one of the most effective air games in Europe, and it was very good ”entrusted the Spanish technician at a press conference. In the mixed zone, Marquinhos also did not fail to highlight the heroic performance of his teammate. We are very happy for him, he was discussed in recent days again and before the penalty shootout I told him it was a match for him. He showed his value, noted the Brazilian.
Before adding: “During the whole meeting he was very aggressive, very present on his line, in the air. He's a big, a big one, we want him to be at best and we want to see him like that, we are very happy for him ”. Strong words also present in the mouth of Ousmane Dembélé, also passing in front of the evening journalists. “He is an exceptional goalkeeper, he showed it with PSG with Italy he is 25 years old (26 years old, editor's note), the best is to come for him, he has all the confidence of the club, the staff and the players”. It remains to be seen whether such a service will be able to secure, or not, the future of the Italian international in the French capital when the latter is still under discussion with PSG to extend his contract.
