Amiens and PSG separated on a par score (4-4) this Saturday, at La Licorne, during the 25th day of Ligue 1, after a match rich in goals and twists and turns.


At the Unicorn Stadium

What show ! In search of confidence before their 8th final first leg of the Champions League in Dortmund on Tuesday, the Parisians went to Amiens this Saturday, during the 25th day of Ligue 1. They almost left with a correction, then a refit, before to have to settle for a draw (4-4). In the tough and led 3-0 before the break, on goals from the Guirassy, ​​Kakuta and Diabaté trio, the players of Thomas Tuchel looked up, first scoring three corner goals, including two from the young Kouassi. It was then Icardi who put Paris ahead. But Amiens had not said its last word and equalized in the stoppages of play by Guirassy. Crazy scenario. Crazy match. A good point for Amiens. And a two-faced PSG who at least had the merit of reacting. Above all, coach Tuchel was able to revive Marquinhos, Verratti and Bernat in this part, while protecting Thiago Silva and Gueye. Recall that Neymar and Mbappé, them, stayed at home, warm before the trip to Germany. Conclusion? “You have to start a match very well. If we don't start at 100%, we are making it harder, ”storm Marquinhos, on Canal + . Not false. Because the 3-0 was not stolen for Amiens. Herrera's goal before the break was good. Maybe everything changed. In the classification, Amiens remains 19th and relegationable but returns to three lengths from the Nîmes dam operator (18th).

Paris sinks and finds itself led 3-0…

If they generally dominated the debates in the first period, the Parisians were above all shown to be permeable behind, wait-and-see and lacking in intensity. Everyone in the same boat, especially captain Thiago Silva… Ideally served by Kakuta, very good this Saturday, Guirassy came to launch the debates and deceive Navas (1-0, 5th). Loss of ball from the Draxler / Gueye tandem at the start. Despite this acrobatic gesture by Cavani (8th), Paris did not rebel. Conversely, it was Amiens who multiplied the hot situations (23rd, 24th), with Navas who saved the furniture in front of Guirassy (25th). Which Navas could do nothing on this unstoppable mine of the left signed Kakuta (2-0, 29th). Diabaté further increased the mark (3-0, 40th). Amiens in 7th heaven, Paris in the hard. Decisive twice (34th, 45th), Gurtner bowed, however, in the stoppages of the first period, Herrera trailing at the far post on a corner (3-1, 45 + 1).

… Before being close to 5-3

As expected, Tuchel launched Marquinhos and Verratti on the resumption, in place of Thiago Silva and Gueye. Changes guided by the perspective of Dortmund, to give rhythm to everyone while minimizing the risks. Changes that would prove to be decisive. If "Marqui" did the job, Verratti did even better, illuminating the Parisian game. Amiens, however, had the ball 4-1: center back from Aleesami for Kakuta (58th). Match point. An opportunity that should not be missed… Again on a corner, the first of Draxler and the second of Di Maria, Paris was going to come back up to its hosts (3-3, 60th and 65th). Helmet blows signed Kouassi each time. Everything to do again for Amiens, now on the verge of breaking up against a PSG who was three behind after the entry of Bernat. Which Bernat served Icardi (3-4, 74th). Silence at The Unicorn. Except in the boisterous Parisian park… Cavani - in search of his 200th Parisian goal - and Di Maria stumbled, one after the other, on Gurtner (76th). Finished ? Not really ... In this crazy match, Guirassy once again deceived Navas (4-4, 90 + 1) and Mbenza even had the victory ball, a free kick ideally placed at the entrance to the surface ... which ultimately gave nothing . 4-4, final score. The last word for lucid "Marqui": "Make way for the Champions League." You have to be better than that. ” Much better.
