If PSG had to wait until the last minutes of the match to find the fault against Girona, the Parisians tried hard.
PSG suffered before finally overcoming Girona on Wednesday in their Champions League opener. The capital club had to wait until the last minute of regulation time to score the only goal of the match thanks to an own goal from the Spanish goalkeeper following a harmless cross from Nuno Mendes.
Until then, the French champions had been clumsy or had come up against an inspired goalkeeper. They had nonetheless tried a lot. Particularly in the second half. According to Opta, Luis Enrique’s men shot twenty times in the second half.
According to the statistics specialist, this is only the second time in the last five seasons that a team has reached the twenty-shot mark in a period in the Champions League. And the first team to achieve such a barrage in front of goal was none other than PSG, during their semi-final against Borussia Dortmund last May.
