Haaland, all of a great
It is undoubtedly the great nugget of tomorrow. At 19, Erling Haaland dazzled the observers again . Powerful, the attacker weighed on the Paris defense with each catch of the ball. Initially awkward (35th, 36th, 50th), he later set the sights. He is thus on the lookout for a counter shot from Guerreiro to come and mark surfaces in fox (69th). Before scoring the second goal of his team on a powerful left shot from outside the area. He is the 2nd youngest player to reach 10 goals in the Champions League behind… Kylian Mbappé. All in only 7 matches.
Can, essential in the middle
Always well placed, important in terms of his physique to win and intelligent in his playing directions, Emre Can had a big game against PSG. Arrived barely a month ago, he is already essential in the midfield. Collecting 10 balloons, he was in combat with his partners.
Fearsome hakimi on the right
A keen counterattacker, Achraf Hakimi was invaluable for his incessant back-and-forth movements. At the origin of the first goal on a center, he regularly carried the danger in the opposing camp with several incursions in the back of Kurzawa. Brilliant in hens, it continues on its momentum.

Paris exceeded
Once again, PSG disappointed in a cleaver match in the Champions League . Exceeded in duels, feverish on each opposing attack, too soft in transitions and offensive play, Paris has completely missed its subject. A bad habit. Not close enough to the opposing carrier, the Parisians let Dortmund play and did not offer enough moves ahead to hope to shake up the local defense. Lack of desire or physique? The whole question is there.
Tuchel's choices in question
While he had accustomed his team to playing in 4-4-2 for two months, Thomas Tuchel completely revised his plans by arranging his players in a kind of 3-4-3 quite wobbly with Mbappé at the head, supported by Neymar and Di Maria. Without any mark, the team stammered its football. Worse, he only made a change with Sarabia in place of Di Maria. This did not change much to the poor content of his training.
Barely offensive trio
Positioned at the forefront, Kylian Mbappé suffered in front of strong defenders and struggled to find spaces to express himself. However, he remains decisive in tearing himself up to serve Neymar on the 1-1 goal. The Brazilian, short of rhythm, forced a lot individually to make the difference and logically lost balls. But it is the source of all PSG occasions. As for Di Maria, he missed everything he did and seemed very withdrawn.
