Paris Saint-Germain has fallen. After a first timid victory at the Parc des Princes against Girona (1-0), Luis Enrique’s men, without Dembélé, dismissed by the Spanish technician, clearly lacked level at the Emirates Stadium and logically lost against Arsenal ( 0-2). Overwhelmed defensively and too little dangerous offensively, the Parisians missed their match and are aware of it, since the captain of the capital club, Marquinhos, had strong words.
“It was a complicated start to the match for us, we couldn’t get out of their pressing, we took time to position ourselves, to press, we made mistakes and they took advantage of our weaknesses. We conceded two goals from crosses, a free kick and one at the far post. This will help us for the future, but we came here to play a good match, we did not succeed, even if it was better in the second half, we succeeded better in what we wanted to do, play in their camp”he first reacted to the microphone of Canal +.
Marquinhos: “we must do more than that in C1”
Before ensuring that this was not enough for the Champions League: “We have to do what we know how to do outside too. We play ball, we like to have possession and we like to attract the opponent. They win the match in this first period. All teams have strong points and weak points, there were mistakes, we have to play on what we do best. We must do more harm, this has failed. We had too few chances and we must do more than that in the Champions League..
A clear observation after this first disillusionment of the season and which logically undermines the strategy of Luis Enrique, who deprived himself of Ousmane Dembélé in favor of Désiré Doué, overtaken for his first start in C1. With this defeat, PSG lost for the first time this season before going to challenge PSV and remained in the soft underbelly of the league phase.
