Guimaraes shone in the middle


The Lyon environment was omnipresent in this meeting.

Present to rake, to revive, to animate the game, Bruno Guimaraes has shown a lot of calm to lead the midfield of OL.

Paqueta, brilliant again.


He scored on the first leg, he still scores on the return. Returning from COVID, Lucas Paqueta did not appear out of shape. The Brazilian was still impactful as soon as he had the opportunity. Positioned fairly free around Dembélé, he seemed better than before the winter break, moved intelligently to escape the opposing marking and, above all, opened the scoring with a well-placed shot (7th). Its release also coincided with the decline in Lyon's diet.

Pochettino had a fine nose


While his team was sterilely dominating, Mauricio Pochettino had the good idea to launch youngsters Xavi Simons and Michut.

If these entries may have seemed risky, they have on the contrary energized the end of the Parisian match.

More mobile in the middle than other elements like Herrera, Paredes or Wijnaldum, the two residents of the PSG training center have awakened their team.

And actively participated in the equalizer signed Kehrer, another came into play. A coaching that is called a winner.

Flops

Mbappé, an evening without


Certainly, he was at the origin of the goal of the equalizer by making a good call on the left of the area.

But Kylian Mbappé was especially unhappy in this meeting.

Sometimes by making the wrong choices.

Or by lacking address in front of the goal.

Without forgetting the two amounts he touched, on two coiled strikes, including one at the end of the game which could have given success to his team.

He suffered from being isolated at times.

A Parisian environment still worrying


The environment of PSG is a real question. As experienced as they are, Leandro Paredes, Georginio Wijnaldum and Ander Herrera all disappointed in Lyon. Guilty of loss of ball, too lateral passes or an insufficient volume of play, they were logically out before the end. And their replacements have been quite successful.

Icardi, still insufficient


The matches are linked and it is still borrowed.

16 balls touched in 90 minutes, that poses a performance.

Missing a few chances in this match, Mauro Icardi was still heavy on his support when it was necessary to combine with his partners.

If he had shone by scoring in the last minutes of the first leg, he continues to drag his penalty on the field since.
