Barcelona-PSG (1-4): Mbappé, Kimpembe, Kurzawa ... the Blues of Paris have eclipsed those of Barça

2021-02-16T22:13:12.898Z


Six French people were on the pitch at kickoff. Three in each camp. But the Parisian internationals were much better than the


A round of 16 certainly but also a rain of Blues.

On the lawn of Camp Nou, there was therefore half of the France team.

On the Catalan side, Clément Lenglet, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé represented the French side.

On the Paris side, Layvin Kurzawa, Presnel Kimpembe and, of course, Kylian Mbappé gave the tricolor touch to PSG.

From the start, logically, it is the biggest French talent that stands out.

But after 50 seconds, Kylian Mbappé loses his control when he could attack Ter Stegen's goal.

We don't know yet, but this bad first impression will not set the tone for the rest.

In the meantime, it is the other French star of the match, Antoine Griezmann, who is in turn highlighted.

Launched by Pedri, the Mâconnais presented himself in front of Navas.

But as during an exercise at Clairefontaine, he finds his partner in Blue, Presnel Kimpembe in front of him, who intelligently closes his angle of fire to him slowly and prevents him from firing a big shot (14th).

His teammate in the Catalan attack, Ousmane Dembélé, alternates him, interesting gestures and unnecessary frills.

A counter strike (21st) follows a magnificent role of stud in midfield when Mbappé embarks on a series of dribbles.

Admittedly, Dembélé has never been a Stakhanovist of defensive labor but when it comes to opposing his friend in Blue, it's more complicated.

And his shot too crushed in front of Navas (29th) is not really to his credit.

But it is the one who seems the furthest from the Blues at the moment who will start to weigh on the match.

And on both sides.

Kurzawa, with his defensive body, causes a penalty by involuntarily mowing De Jong while he was only looking at the ball (1-0, 27 ').

But he will quickly catch up.

Served by Marquinhos, he recovered perfectly for Verratti who perfectly sent Mbappé to try his luck.

The talent of the latter does the rest and the slate is suddenly erased (1-1, 32nd).

Lenglet does not reassure, Dembélé is annoyed

The Blues of Paris have largely taken over those of Barça.

Lenglet reassures no one and Dembélé annoys.

Only Griezmann tries to loosen the grip, but his shot flirts with the left post of Navas (37th).

After the break, the trend is confirmed.

Parisian blue is more and more flashy.

Mbappé's second goal (65th) confirms this.

As a symbol of difference, it is even Griezmann who involuntarily misses to injure the Parisian striker by touching his ankle (79th).

This Tuesday evening, some Blues can room others.

Return match, March 10.
