Luis Enrique’s players won the RCSA this Saturday, at the Parc des Princes, during the eighth day of L1.
That’s done. Before hosting PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Tuesday, the Parisians dominated Strasbourg (4-2) this Saturday, at the Parc des Princes, during the eighth day of Ligue 1. Logical victory, despite the goal of hope Alsatian by Sekou Mara, which allows the capital club to regain the lead in the standings, thanks to a better goal difference over AS Monaco, held in check by Lille (0-0). Luis Enrique allowed himself to rotate his squad for the next games, leaving Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé on the bench. Not Bradley Barcola, scorer. Senny Maulu, Marco Asensio and Kang-in Lee also scored.
Faithful to the precepts of Liam Rosenior, Racing did not close the game. Audacious… or suicidal depending on the case. Especially if the captain, Diarra, is also reckless, offering a boulevard to Doué, taken over by Sarr (6th). Barcola wasted no time in tormenting his opposite number, Senaya, who was booked in the 10th minute, but it was Mayulu who was close to opening the scoring. Post (12th). For now. The young (18 year old) titi felt himself growing wings and leaned on Barcola to find himself alone facing Petrovic, top corner, near post (1-0, 18th). First goal in L1 for him.
Petrovic had the merit of stopping in front of Asensio (21st). Donnarumma was only occupied by two not very dangerous attempts from Bakwa (9th, 26th). He also had to be careful of Beraldo’s inaccuracies (13th). The Brazilian was more inspired by beating Bakwa to the tip of the shoe (31st). Less rhythm then… until the rush from Barcola (42nd), resumed, and this miss from Mayulu (42nd). Santos making Donnarumma work a little more (45+1) before the break (1-0 MT).
Barcola in two stages
Two changes at the break for Strasbourg, Mara and Sow for Emegha and Senaya. But above all a second Parisian goal, with this shot from Doué poorly captured by Petrovic and Asensio collecting crumbs (2-0, 48th). Petrovic was much more inspired against Mayulu (50th) then Barcola (56th). Donnarumma had the opportunity to warm his gloves against Nanasi (52nd), but he could do nothing against Mara (2-1, 58th).
Pacho waited on the spot… Sarr was not there to stop Barcola (62nd). Illegally, first said the referee, who awarded a penalty before reversing his decision. No worries for Barcola, who sang the song to Sow before deceiving Petrovic (3-1, 66th). Another false joy for Paris, with the CSC of Sow… canceled (68th).
PSG managed quietly, with the icing on the cake signed by Lee (4-1, 90th), Donnarumma having previously dampened Moreira’s comeback dreams (80th). He could do nothing against Diong (4-2, 90+1) who was hanging around at the far post from a corner (4-2 final score).
