Women's Champions League: PSG bounces back in Madrid and qualifies in the quarters

2021-11-18T22:15:39.807Z


A success (2-0) on the lawn of Real this Thursday evening allows the Parisians to reach the quarter-finals and to forget, a little, the affair


Less brilliant than the first leg (4-0), the PSG players still won against Real this Thursday night in Madrid (2-0).

A valuable success for morale and for qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Les Parisiennes are assured of the first place in group B.

What you must remember

PSG are leaving with what they had come to seek in Madrid: victory and qualification for the quarter-finals. A boost to morale for a whole group after the tremors created by the aggression of Kheira Hamraoui, the custody of Aminata Diallo and the correction received in Lyon (6-1) on Sunday. The start was however difficult on the lawn of the Alfredo-Di Stefano stadium, filled with 2,500 spectators. But after half an hour of guesswork, the issue came with a set piece.

A pass from Ramona Bachmann for the inevitable Marie-Antoinette Katoto (11 goals in 11 games this season), who precedes the hazardous exit of the Spanish goalkeeper (33rd).

More confident, the players of Didier Ollé-Nicolle then sat down their authority with the ball to the foot.

Katoto could have doubled the bet before the break (45th + 1) on a new error from the Madrid defense.

On the return from the locker room, Sakina Karchaoui and Kadidiatou Diani, discreet in the first period, have recovered.

On an acceleration in the middle of the surface, Karchaoui scored the goal of the left break (70th).

PSG can breathe and return to Paris with a smile.

Next step: manage the reinstatement of Kheira Hamraoui and Aminata Diallo, which should take place after the international break.

The player: Stéphanie Labbé

After two tenures provided by the Czech Barbora Votikova for the Paris goal, the Canadian Stéphanie Labbé was back this Thursday evening.

The experienced Olympic champion, 34, was decisive in helping PSG.

On one of the only occasions in Madrid, signed Esther (51st), Labbé put out a good stopping of the foot and avoided the goal of the equalizer.

Very playful, she does not succeed all her raises with the foot and sometimes takes too many risks.

But after the six goals conceded in Lyon on Sunday (the only ones of the Parisian season), the defense of PSG is reassured a little.

The Paulina Dudek-Elisa De Almeida axis also held its rank.

The number: 2,502.

After the presence of some 19,000 spectators at the Parc des Princes last week, the second largest crowd in the history of PSG, it is Real Madrid's turn to achieve their record.

At the Alfredo-Di Stefano stadium, 2,502 spectators were seated to encourage Madrid, including a hundred of them.

Never had the women's team of Real gathered so many people after a year and a half of existence.
