Ultra dominant, PSG did no better than a draw against PSV Eindhoven (1-1), this Tuesday evening, on behalf of the 3rd day of the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain is not advancing in C1. After its narrow victory over Girona (1-0) and its defeat at Arsenal (2-0), the capital club shared the points this Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes with PSV Eindhoven (1-1). A bitter-tasting draw for Luis Enrique’s squad, who dominated this meeting head and shoulders, but who once again lacked efficiency.

Well into their match, the Parisians were surprised following a loss of ball in their camp punished by a goal from Lang (0-1, 34e). The end of the first period was then more complicated for the Parisians, who had largely dominated until then.

Dembélé harvest, Hakimi avoids the worst

Yes, but there you have it, the Rouge et Bleu have messed up enormously in the image of Ousmane Dembélé. The former Barcelona player lacked precision (30e50e), also touching the crossbar (19e). Very restless, Bradley Barcola was not more inspired in front of goal (11e27e). We had to wait until the start of the second half to see the French champions find the fault.

Untenable on his side, Achraf Hakimi allowed his team to pick up the score with a floating shot which passed between the legs of Benitez (1-1, 55e). The Moroccan had other opportunities to give his team the advantage (81e89e), in vain. Luis Enrique’s men thought they would get a penalty at the end of the game, but the referee, after viewing the images, finally reversed his decision. And after laying siege to the Dutch cage in added time, a final point-blank header from Marquinhos was saved by Benitez. Cursed, PSG did not have full confidence before the Classic against OM this Sunday.
