Youth League: debut with a bang for PSG's Titis against Juventus (5-3)

Last season, PSG's adventure in the Youth League ended in the quarter-finals, eliminated by Salzburg.

This year is off to a strong start.

Opposed to Juventus this Tuesday afternoon, at Camp des Loges, the young people trained by Zoumana Camara made short work of Juventus (5-3).

A recital not to be trivialized against the semi-finalists of the previous edition.

What you must remember

You shouldn't be late.

Immediately in the right tempo, the Titis reinforced by the presence of Zaire-Emery, Bitshiabu and Gharbi stifled the Italians from the first minutes to take a two-goal lead.

Ilyes Housni was the first to find the fault (1-0, 3rd), then imitated by Warren Zaire-Emery.

The midfielder accustomed to the pro group since the start of the season took advantage of a good return to goal from the striker to challenge the opposing goalkeeper, after a long breakthrough on his own, and deceive him with a good dive (2 -0, 7th).

It couldn't have started better for Paris who, despite the reduction in Mbangoula's score from a corner (2-1, 17th), did not release the grip.

Until the break, the waves were chained in front of the goal of Juventus.

Paris then took off.

Housni, who started at the limit of offside on a long pass from Fernandez-Veliz, put his team back in the direction of travel (3-1, 37th) before Ismaël Gharbi, with a lob (4-1, 45th), and Lemina, from a crossfire (5-1, 45+1e), did not offer a wonderful fireworks display to close the first 45 minutes.

There was a class of difference between the two teams.

Gharbi had the opportunity to put a sixth.

The young esthete stumbled on the Turin goalkeeper (65th).

But the relaxation at the end of the meeting came to tarnish the good copy a little.

Hasa on a free kick in the skylight reduced the mark for the first time (5-2, 77th), before a penalty from Huijsen (5-3, 80th) made the Parisians shudder.

Not enough to throw everything in the trash either.

Juve will finish outnumbered after the expulsion of their captain Giulio Doratiotto (85th).

The player: Ilyes Housni

Promoted from the Under-17s to the U19s this season, the forward didn't miss his Youth League debut.

Alone at the forefront of the attack, the 17-year-old stood out for the quality of his calls and his sense of goal.

On the opener, well served by Muntu Wa Mungu, he made the right gesture by crossing his recovery in one touch in the opposite side netting (1-0, 3rd).

His wonderful deflection for Warren Zaire-Emery on the second goal also deserves a look (2-0, 7th).

Party at the limit of offside, he does not tremble either to afford a double (3-1, 37th).

It promises!

The number: 5

Five Parisian Titis made their debut in the Youth Champions League on Tuesday: Ilyes Housni, Zoumana Bagbema, Hugo Lamy, as well as incoming Kamil Bensoula and Ethan Mbappé, Kylian's little brother born in 2006.
