He made a mistake and the referee gratefully took the opportunity to weaken Barca.
Of course, in hindsight Araujo should have let him run and MAtS would have had a decent chance to stop them from scoring.
It hurts since this one scene has changed the whole game in PSG's direction but we...
The difference he makes was seen when he returned from his injury. Would easily fight for La Liga without his injury.
Had a great save in first half against Mbappe. Apart from that there was hardly anything he could do against goals.
Very good to see that Xavi goes full rotation bar Cubarsi and MAtS.
Not expecting much from a whole new lineup that never played together a game before let alone lately.
Why again is Xavi in the stands? :lol:
Imo, Lamine is doing okay considering the stage of this game. He'll learn a lot from tonight. Great thing is having Ferran on the bench. PSG is having issues not getting run behind their line and Ferran is the best in that regard apart from maybe Raphinha. Felix could hurt them too.
Would be...
Since Cancelo is being criticized. Yes, he should have done better there but he is integral part in having Dembele under control which he has done pretty well so far. Sounds easier than done and takes a lot of running. Can't blame him when he is gassed out in that counter and making a bad decision.
Apart from some shaky early minutes (which can even happen to way more experienced teams on that stage like seen yesterday with Madrid and Bayern) the team has played a great first half. The defensive setup is working extremely well. If someone gets past a player, someone else will save the day...
Injuries have always kept him back. This guy is a really, really good defender when fit. He was crazily good in those games late October, early November until got injured.
