Vitinha missed a penalty in the semi-final return from the Champions League between PSG and Arsenal this Wednesday evening. The Portuguese midfielder illustrated himself by an improbable momentum. However, this goal could have folded the match.
A momentum is working. But he may have pushed the vice a little far. Adept of long and slow momentum race to adjust the goalkeeper, Vitinha missed her blow this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, during the semi-final return of the PSG-Arsenal Champions League. The Portuguese midfielder missed a penalty which, at that time of the match, could bend the case and almost send Paris to the final.
Almost no one had seen this hand of Lewis-Skelly’s hand on an attempt by Achraf Hakimi. But the Var called the central referee Felix Zwayer, who has checked his control screen and granted a penalty to Parisians (67th minute). Before it was fired, Mikel Arteta made a double change by bringing Calafiori and Trossard to return.
Not enough to deceive Raya
Vitinha took place and started … walking. He accustomed to braking races had only taken any speed. No doubt to try to anticipate the guardian movement. But David Raya never trembled in front, coming out perfectly on the Parisian soft strike at the right post.
PSG did not have time to ruminate behind, Hakimi having finally scored the second Parisian goal in the 72nd. Fabian Ruiz had opened the scoring in the first period.
