With a one-goal lead in the first leg and a first goal in the second leg, Paris still lost...
With a two-goal advantage in hand, but conceding three goals in 16 minutes and 41 seconds, since the miracle of Camp Nou on March 8, 2017, Paris has once again tasted the horror of being dominated by the West Superpower. After the Qatari consortium took over, the Champions League knockout round was three times in a row "aircraft carrier overturned" of the greater Paris, the Trip to the Bernabeu, seemingly full of slots, is actually the team's recent downturn and loose attitude is an inevitable punishment. In the failed group portrait, except for Mbappe, who can hold his head high, everyone is playing a role that they are not good at, and without exception smashing the pot. In addition to the collective fragility and complete collapse of the stadium, even the top brass has become a laughing stock: After the game, Helefi, who angrily asked the referee for an explanation, made the team's nightmarish Trip to the Bernabeu end in a particularly absurd end.
Four days ago against Nice, Paris unsurprisingly lost again against a tough opponent. Pochettino, who rotated almost half of the starting line-up and hoped that Messi and Neymar would rewrite the game by their individual ability, faced the boos of the fans, and only replied after the game with an understatement: "There is nothing to analyze in this game." "After all, compared to the staggered teeth of last year's Ligue 1 title situation, this season's league champions are basically in the bag of Paris, only in terms of points, losing or not is irrelevant, so that mbappe, Ashraf, Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes and other main players rest, to ensure that the midweek European game, is the top priority.
Unfortunately, a team that is accustomed to hiding in the face of hard bones in the league is unlikely to show blood and morale in higher-level battles. Against Nice, Messi and Neymar chicken and duck, there is no echo, against Real Madrid is still the same. The Paris defence conceded a goal due to a mistake at a crucial moment, Neymar was caught by Modric again, and Marquinhos, who gave an extra assist to Oolong. It is true that people will not step into the same river twice, but this does not prevent Paris from being the out side once again with the first leg of the knockout round taking the lead. Former international Petit, who has always been known for his poisonous tongue after the game, hated Paris: "After Real Madrid equalized, things quickly collapsed, there was no longer the same level, there was no longer silence on the pitch, and in a few minutes the players were almost desperate. What happened in Paris was a professional mistake, even more serious than what happened against Barca. ”
In Ligue 1, where the strength and weakness are too clear, Paris has not known what it is like to be forced into a corner for many years, and since Pochettino took office, the team has repeatedly chosen to give up before it has come to a desperate situation. The chronic disease of only playing the downwind ball is concentrated in the strange circle of this season's Paris Champions League away winlessness: whether it is against Bruges, or Real Madrid, whose championship experience crushes themselves, paris, the larger the star lineup, the smaller the aura.
7 months ago, when Paris first bought Ashraf and then rented Nuno Mendes, and successively free of charge After Ramos, Wijnaldum, Donnaruma and Messi, many fans exclaimed that the Champions League has ushered in the finale in advance, after all, Ramos and Messi have appeared in the Champions League, basically the same as the Paris team, and Paris, which has lost in the experience level for many years, seems to have a backbone at the key moment. However, in this vicious battle to evaluate the operation of the summer window, the four major visa-free submissions are a completely unqualified answer sheet.
The first of the four to repudiate paris was the all-powerful warrior Wijnaldum. The Dutch refused barca to switch to Paris for a high salary rather than a main position, and also expected to adapt to unfamiliar roles, but Pochettino, who messed up the Mandarin duck spectrum, always used the Dutch midfielder as a left forward, which also made the latter who had not deviated from the middle since his debut, basically equal to one less person, and he was repeatedly rated as the lowest score in Ligue 1, and he did not play in this game. And also did not have the opportunity to show his face is Ramos, who was absent due to injury, "Water Master", who has hardly played for more than half a season, and the more realistic question is whether he can stay in Paris this summer. Compared with Thiago Silva, who won the Champions League in his first season after leaving Paris, the goods should be thrown away, and people are more dead than people.
Ramos was gone and Pochettino could have trusted another Real Madrid veteran, KyloOr Navas. A secret battle for more than half a season ended with Donnarumma taking the lead, but the European Cup MVP lost his usual calm. Whether Benzema conceded the first goal was fouled is still up to debate, but the Italian goalkeeper who is not known for his foot skills, why bother to fight with the old "Benzer Tiger"? Karius's lesson is not enough? When the last two goals were conceded, Donnarumma, who was already a little out of heart, did not change his life against the sky, which was also expected, after all, As the captain of Magiños, he had lost his calm and concentration, and it was really difficult to expect his teammates to awaken themselves.
Of course, the most blocked trip to the Bernabeu is still Messi. Whether in Barcelona or Paris, Messi, who has scored 0 goals and 0 assists in the last 9 games against Real Madrid, can not be said to be undiscovered in this game, 13 times involved in the ground confrontation 7 times successful, 3 times shovels higher than the sum of the two starting centre-backs in Paris, the 35-year-old Mei Laohan, this game is a real "Mei back". But in such a detailed and talented meeting that can change the outcome of the game in an instant, the fans are more looking forward to the peach throwing of Messi and Mbappe in the group stage against Leipzig, but this scene has not appeared until the final whistle. In the Tuchel era, the double counterattack of Neymar and Mbappe with one pass and one run was almost incomprehensible, but after joining Messi, he gave up 4411 and changed the front line to completely swim outside the defensive system 433 Paris, which only confirmed four words: half the work.
'We made mistakes but the biggest mistake was made by VAR, Benzema's foul was obvious but the referee ignored it, the emotions of the players in the game are very important, that feeling of unfairness has been teasing us, I don't know how to deal with the effect, it's almost decisive.' After the game, Pochettino did not talk more about the players playing and platooning, but threw the pot to the referee. "I watched the replay thirty or forty times, and it wasn't a mistake on Donnarumma, we were in control of the scene and had a chance to qualify." However, the Argentine, who was rumored to be dismissed, was far less decisive than Ancelotti, who had always been known for his weight. The latter withdrew Kroos and Asensio in the second half, sending Camareunga and Rodrigo, who were more able to run and fight harder. But on the Paris side, Messi and Neymar, who lost their fitness early in the second half, stayed until the end of the game.
Compared with the involuntary "Uncle Bo", the Paris president Helefi, who was blue in the stands, tried to find the referee after the game, but mistakenly walked to the room of Real Madrid representative Davilia, and the picture of them shouting and making a lot of noise in the dressing room was photographed by the Real Madrid staff. Enraged, Helefi rushed straight to the employee, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!" The Paris president, who refused to give up, then broke into the referee's locker room and blocked the other side's way out, breaking the flag of a sideline referee.
At the 1982 World Cup, Kuwaiti prince and manager Fahd rushed into the stadium and demanded that referee Stupal cancel France's Gireser goal, who obeyed. The days when the times change and the chaebols dictate it are long gone. In addition to the referee on duty writing the troublesome Herofi into the referee's report, Real Madrid will also provide UEFA with the footage filmed as evidence. According to other reports, Leonardo asked Real Madrid to destroy the relevant evidence afterwards, but the reply given by Real Madrid was that the computer containing the evidence had "disappeared". After 11 months, At that time, The Backstab European Super League and Infinitely Close to UEFA's Helefi, in this situation, tasted a double critical hit.
Infighting in the parisian dressing room after the match
After the loss, not only Chairman Helefi could not hold back the fire. According to Spain's "Marca" newspaper, after the game, Neymar and Donnarumma in the Paris squad also clashed in the locker room.
It is reported that the two blamed each other in the dressing room, Neymar expressed dissatisfaction with donnarumma's mistake leading to the loss of the ball, and Donnarumma also fought back, saying that Paris's second goal was caused by Neymar's pass in the front court being broken. The two quarreled incessantly, and even wanted to punch and kick each other, but the teammates dissuaded them in time and pulled the two apart.
