In the first leg of the Champions League knockout round this morning, Real Madrid lost 1-0 away to Paris, and Messi missed a penalty to cause heated discussion, but fortunately Neymar came off the bench to assist Mbappe to score a deadlock, which avoided the 0-0 handshake result. If the draw ends, Messi's pressure will be even greater, because he caused the team's three-pointer to become a draw. Paris brought in Messi because the team aims to win the Champions League, so every game in the Champions League is crucial, and Messi, as an important member of the Champions League trophy, hinders the team from winning and will be considered the worst reinforcement.
Mbappe is an important target for Real Madrid in the near future, and his killing of opponents will also make the Galaxy more eager to include this strong reinforcement. Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois is the best in the team, if it were not for his repeated defusion of crises, the team may have lost miserably, Real Madrid's goal conceded at the end is also caused by defensive errors, and the goalkeeper's responsibility is not large. Courtois saved Messi's penalty and Mbappe's one-handed goal in this match, and it was regrettable that he could not block the goal at the end. However, Real Madrid still have the second leg back to the home game, the opponent's 1-goal advantage does not mean anything, unfortunately, the battleship effectively restricted Mbappe's words there is still a chance to finally qualify.
Paris's refusal to let Mbappe go is also justified, because mbappe's key to this round of matches is better than Messi, although his single knife ball was saved, but then making a penalty is definitely due to personal ability, but Messi lost it. Neymar has been plagued by injuries since joining Paris, and his missed game Kylian Mbappe is the absolute core, so keeping the future star is also what Paris is looking forward to, but the current situation is difficult to leave the core, so the best result is that the team won the Champions League this season.
Paris in the Champions League this season has not been very stable, because the team has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the group stage, and the team qualified as the second in the group. Real Madrid advanced to the top of the group with 5 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, and the performance was still good, but losing in the first game of the knockout round was indeed bad for Real Madrid, and the second leg back home needed to go all out. Real Madrid's home record this season is good, and the current home record of the team's multi-line operation is 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, so the chances of promotion are still very large. In contrast, Paris's away results this season, the team has won 9 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, compared with the away game is not stable, so there is also the possibility of losing points and getting out, so the promotion suspense of this group of duels is still very large.
The attacking group of the two teams in this game is Di Maria, Mbappe, Messi vs. Asensio, Vinicius and Benzema, the difference is that Paris only replaced Di Maria with Neymar in the second half, while the Real Madrid manager replaced three starters with Rodrigo, Eden Hazard and Bale, and it is clear that the manager is not satisfied with the three attacking players who have been entrusted with heavy responsibilities. Because the three played for about 80 minutes without a shot, only Vinicius delivered a threatening ball, which was really surprising. Substitute Rodrigo had one shot on goal, and the other two, who played less than ten minutes, were indeed difficult to turn things around.
The habit of slow substitution has always existed, and it was the same when he was coaching Chelsea, how can the situation be turned around without giving the bench wizards more time. An Shuai's substitution in this game did not threaten the opponent on the offensive end, but conceded a goal at the end to bury the opportunity to get a point should indeed be reflected.
After the paris side of the substitution, the three ball kings have some cooperation to create threats, so the Real Madrid defense is also in deep tension, and there is a certain inevitability of conceding goals. It is worth mentioning that Mbappe scored the ball after breaking through in the case of double defense, Neymar's pass was also accurate, and the cooperation of the two kings made Real Madrid surrender is indeed due to strength. It is worth mentioning that the core players of Real Madrid are not able to make a strong move in this game, because Modric actually needs to defuse the threatening ball from Mbappe, the team basically has no decent offensive opportunities in the opening stage, and the subsequent whole game has not reversed the passive situation, so the pressure of defense will become heavier and heavier under such circumstances, and it is only a matter of time before the ball is lost in this case.
The disadvantage for Real Madrid is that Casemiro and Mendy, who received yellow cards in this game, did not qualify for the second leg of the game, which has some impact on the team's platooning. The once invincible Real Madrid only had 3 shots on target and 0 shots in this game, 1 of which came from players who came off the bench, and it can also be said that Real Madrid's starters only had 2 shots on goal, which is indeed a shameful record. Paris scored just one of 21 shots on goal and missed some chances, otherwise it would have been a big win.
Looking back at the comparison of the data in the group stage of the Champions League in Paris, against Bruges, Paris 9 shots on goal and 4 shots on target, the opponent 16 shots on goal 7 shots on target, the two teams 1-1 shake hands, Real Madrid's data against Paris is actually not as good as a weak brigade is indeed difficult to understand. In the second round of the group stage, Paris 2-0 clean sheet Manchester City had 6 shots on goal and 3 shots on target, and Manchester City's 18 shots on goal and 7 shots on target did not score a goal, which also shows that Paris is in place. Paris 3-2 Leipzig had 12 shots on goal and 4 shots on target, the opponent 18 shots on goal and 4 shots on target, the two teams shook hands 2-2 for the second time, Paris shot 7 shots on goal 4 shots on target and Leipzig 17 shots on goal 6 shots on target. Paris lost 2-1 against Manchester City in their second game, with the team shooting 2 of 7 shots on target and 6 of 16 shots on target. City's 4-1 win over Bruges in the final round had 9 shots on target in 17 shots and 6 of their opponents' 15 shots on goal.
From the above data, it can be found that Paris is not unstoppable, and the downturn in Real Madrid's current round of match data is indeed not as good as that of the weak brigade, so this defeat is also a multi-faceted failure, and many problems urgently need to be solved by the manager. At present, Real Madrid is in the first place in the La Liga table, 4 points more than the second place Sevilla, and An Shuai can indeed fight for the league, because the inefficiency performance of the Champions League is indeed not far from the game. People are worried that such Real Madrid will not be able to touch the Champions League trophy again even if they have Mbappe, because the problem of the team is not only the lack of a core player, of course, there are also people who think that Mbappe will become a savior if he joins Real Madrid this summer, because the youngster has already handed over the perfect answer sheet in this game, and then the Real Madrid executive only needs to add numbers to the transfer fee.
But to be honest, if Real Madrid is out of the Champions League, there will be a big move this summer, and if Paris is unexpectedly out, it can't be said, because the current configuration of the team is already top-notch, and not winning the championship is a failure, so the second leg of the away game is also a lot of highlights, and fans can't miss it.
