PSG – Atlético Madrid. At the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain hosts Atlético Madrid in the clash of the fourth day of the Champions League. From the first minutes, the Parisians created chances. Follow the match live.
21:19 – What work by Neves!
While Nuno Mendes was mounted, João Neves showed his virility to win his duel against Giuliano Simeone.
21:17 – The composure of Zaire-Emery!
Zaire-Emery rewards the Parisians’ good start to the match! Like the first quarter of an hour, the Parisians press and Ousmane Dembélé recovers the ball from the feet of Clément Lenglet in the opponent’s area. He passes the ball to his young midfielder at the penalty spot who stares at Jan Oblak before deceiving the Madrid goalkeeper with a little dive.
21:15 – Oblak too easy
Madrid loses the ball and the Parisians plan quickly. Ousmane Dembélé provokes and uses Marco Asensio’s call behind his back to serve Barcola on the left. The winger hits directly but Jan Oblak easily covers the ball.
21:13 – Missed cross
For Madrid’s first real incursion into the Parisian camp, the Colchoneros missed the mark in the last gesture. After a shift, Giuliano Simeone crosses but the ball ends up directly in touch.
21:12 – Hakimi inaccurate!
In the central circle, Warren Zaire-Emery sees Achraf Hakimi. Having gone behind Javi Galan’s back, the Moroccan found himself in the Madrid penalty area. His high center is way too strong. Neither Marco Asensio nor Bradley Barcola can regain the ball.
21:11 – Simeone satisfied
While his team is dominated in the first ten minutes, Diego Simeone encourages his players and applauds them.
21:10 – Barcola does not pass
On his first interesting ball, Bradley Barcola wants to make the difference against Nahuel Molina but the Argentine defender does not bite the feints of the French winger who gets a touch.
21:08 – Witsel vigilant
Highly visible since the kick-off, the Hakimi – Dembélé duo meet once again. The Frenchman crosses but the ball is well repelled by Axel Witsel at the penalty spot.
21:06 – Dembélé doesn’t fit!
The danger on Jan Oblak’s cage is getting closer! Launched into his lane, Achraf Hakimi provokes and serves Ousmane Dembélé behind. On the edge of the area, the winger strikes with first intention but the ball flies slightly above the Madrid crossbar.
9:05 p.m. – The Parisians delay
After a recovery, the Parisians and Warren Zaire-Emery try to project themselves but the defensive withdrawal is made on the Madrid side. Please note that the visitor parking lot is almost full this evening. Nearly 650 Atlético Madrid supporters are present.
21:04 – Hakimi close to the goal!
What a first opportunity for PSG! From the second minute, the Colchoneros cleared a cross from Dembélé on Nuno Mendes who put it back on João Neves. The Portuguese sends a ball into the area, poorly pushed back. Hakimi recovers and hits a cross. The right side’s attempt brushes Jan Oblak’s right post.
