PSG Press Review: Barcola-Dembélé, Atlético…

Seen and read about PSG in the French press this Monday, November 4, 2024. Parisian offensive efficiency depends on the Barcola-Dembélé duo, Atlético de Madrid regains color before facing in the Champions League.

In today's edition, The Team

focuses on the offensive duo of PSG,
Bradley Barcola – Ousmane Dembele. Last year, after 13 matches played, Kylian Mbappé
alone represented 41% of the goals of the PSG
against 42% of goals for the winger duo this season. The two Frenchmen were once again decisive this Saturday against the
RC with an assist of Bradley
Barcola
for Parisian number 10. “The Parisian winger duo is clearly attacking the leader of
Ligue 1. »
But, the offensive capacity of PSG in Champions League questions on D-2 of the match against
l'Atlético de Madrid. To date, only
Ashraf Hakimi scored in this competition (1-1 against PSV Eindhoven) while Bradley
Barcola
scored a single goal in C1on February 14 against the Royal Society (2-0).
“Even for a player who learned so quickly, in
Ligue 1a Championship that he really discovered from January 2022, as well as in French teamthe idea of ​​European apprenticeship exists. »

In his offensive animation, his ability to gain speed and his efficiency, the PSG is extremely dependent on his two wingers. The Parisian club only scored four goals when its two best offensive players were not on the field. The weight ofAshraf Hakimi in the offensive game is not new (2 goals and 3 assists) but the Moroccan is more consistent in the construction of the game, with this better-established alternation of interior and exterior positions. In terms of statistics, the right back was even a little better at the same stage last season (4 goals, 2 assists). “Of course, it is complicated to pretend that everything is almost the same, when the PSGafter ten days, was only second a year ago, with five points and six goals less. But maybe it's because Paris has changed elsewhere: it is probably when he does not have the ball that the
PSG has progressed the most, collectively, one year later”
concludes THE.

The sports daily also mentions the next opponent of the
PSG in Champions League,
l'Atlético de Madrid. In a bad situation before this weekend, the Madrid club regained color this Sunday thanks to its victory against The Palms
(2-0). It has been more than a month since the players of Diego
Simeone
had not provided such an interesting performance. From the outset, the Colchoneros showed aggression with high pressing. And this was rewarded in the first half with the goal of Giuliano Simeone. And Antoine Griezmann sometimes lacked accuracy in his last gesture, the Frenchman created permanent danger in the first period. During the second act, l'Atlético de Madrid has slowed down even though Alexander
Sorloth
scored the second goal to ensure success. This victory allows the Colchoneros to find the podium of Liga and to experience their first clean sheet in the league since September 26. “We needed a match with this intensity, which would leave us with good feelings before going to Paris where it will be difficult »confided the coach Diego
Simeone
after the meeting. With a 27th place in
Champions League (3 pts),
l'Atlético is off to a bad start in this competition and will be looking for points.
