VIDEO. Elimination of PSG against Madrid: “Paris must take an example from Manchester City”

The scenario of the elimination of PSG, Wednesday in Madrid, inevitably recalls the precedents against Barcelona (2017) and Manchester United

So yes, there was the final in 2020 and the semi-final in 2021. But the elimination in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Wednesday evening in Madrid, brought back painful memories.

And disaster scenarios that PSG repeats (too) often, far from the standards of a team built to rub shoulders with the peaks each season.

Because more than an elimination, the PSG experienced a new disappointment, Wednesday evening at the Bernabeu.

One more.

After Barça's comeback (2017), after the incomprehensible home defeat against Manchester United (2019), there will now be Madrid's cursed half hour.

As in a nightmare, Paris has indeed completely sunk against Real, in just a few minutes, when everything was going for the best.

Winners in the first leg (1-0), leading the scoreboard (1-0 until the hour mark), Pochettino's men saw Real reverse an error by Donnarumma.

And after… Nothing.

Carried away by the Madrid furia and in the wake of a still strong Benzema, Marquinhos and his partners seemed completely lost.

As if the Parisians had been taken over by their old demons.
