The penultimate day of the Champions League reached its epilogue this evening. With a few twists and turns.
The poster child of the evening was undoubtedly this clash between PSG and Manchester City. In addition to the line-up of stars on the field, it was above all a decisive meeting for the presence of the two teams in the top 24, with a slight advantage for the Skyblues at kick-off.
Virtually outside the teams qualified for the play-offs, PSG were very scared by being led 0-2 by City, with two goals in three minutes signed Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland at the start of the second half. But Manchester (without Jérémy Doku, with Kevin De Bruyne) then sank.
Ousmane Dembélé sparked the Parisian revolt by immediately reducing the score (1-2). The start of a highlight that will last…until the end of the match. Bradley BarcolaJoao Neves and Gonçalo Ramos also registered their names on the scoreboard to force a capital victory (4-2). Completely disappeared from circulation, City is two points from the top 24 and will be forced to win against…Club Bruges (which has three more points) to secure its place in the play-offs.
Bayern takes on water
The other shock of the day is the defeat of Bayern Munich. The Bavarians lost 3-0 against a Feyenoord team where Brian Priske was announced as dismissed after the match. The men of Vincent Kompany created a large number of chances against Bart Nieuwkoop (ex-Union), Anis Hadj Moussa (ex-Patro Eisden) and others, but the Dutch goalkeeper produced a heroic match. Feyenoord was much more concrete, notably with a goal from Ayase Ueda, the former Cercle de Bruges striker.
-More difficult evening for Arne Engelswho missed his penalty with Celtic. Fortunately for him, the Scots (helped by a classy save from Kasper Schmeichel) ended up winning on the wire against Slovan Bratislava (1-0).
A quieter match for Thibaut Courtois, who was not called upon very often during Real Madrid’s 5-1 victory against Salzburg and was unable to do anything on the Austrian goal. We will also remember that Zeno Debast was again in midfield for Sporting Portugal, beaten 2-1 in Leipzig.
To be completely complete, let us note AC Milan’s 1-0 victory over Girona, Arsenal’s walk against Dinamo Zagreb (3-0), Inter’s 0-2 success at Sparta Prague (1 -0) and the defeat of Brest at Shakhtar Donetsk (2-0).
