Youth League: great operation for PSG, which wins without trembling against Leipzig (3-0)

PSG have their first Youth League victory of the season.

After having tied two draws against Bruges (2-2) and Manchester City (1-1), the Parisians won 3-0 on Tuesday, at the Georges-Lefèvre stadium against a weak team from Leipzig, the red lantern of the group.

Thanks to this success, the hopes of Zoumana Camara return to the height of Bruges and City who were neutralized a little earlier in the afternoon (1-1).

The three teams have the same number of points (5) and decide on goal difference.

Manchester City is still the leader (+4 goal average), Bruges second (+3) and Paris, which will meet Leipzig on November 3 in Germany, is in third place (+3).

What you must remember

The Titis did not have to force their talent. Thus, Xavi Simons was the first to stand out with a strike on the post in a closed angle (4th). Then, logically, the Parisians opened the scoring on a good sequence of Odobert, well served by Simons, again him (1-0, 11th). Rarely endangered in the first period, with the exception of a hazardous exit from Franchi (15th), the Parisian squad should have spiked the addition much earlier if Bitshiabu (24th), Zaire-Emery (32nd), Gassama (37th), Simons (43rd) and Odobert (44th) had shown more skill in the last gesture.

Upon returning from the locker room, Ibrahimi sowed a slight wind of panic in the Parisian defense (47th), before the Red and Blue resumed their march forward.

After another opportunity signed Wa Mungu (60th), the goal of the break finally came from Simons, launched by Gassama, and who did not tremble to deceive the opposing goalkeeper (2-0, 66th).

Bitshiabu, receiving a badly negotiated corner by Nickisch, increased the score to 3-0 at the end of the match by taking up a badly negotiated corner by Nickisch (3-0, 83rd).

A clear and flawless victory that was well deserved.

The player: Xavi Simons

Author of the second goal, the 18-year-old Dutchman spared no effort at the forefront of the Parisian attack.

A position he already occupied in the last Youth League match against Manchester City.

The former Barcelonan did not hide, he was an interesting anchor for his partners in the axis.

We will regret these few missed opportunities (43rd, 60th) which could have allowed him to sign a double.

The figure: 2006

Born March 8, 2006 in Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), Warren Zaire-Emery, 15, was the youngest player on the scoresheet on Tuesday.

At PSG since 2014, the midfielder has made a solid performance, associated with Ayman Kari in front of the defense.
