There was a lot of criticism about Mbabane’s performance in the knockout stages of the Champions League – he seemed to get rid of all the frustration in one match. Shaking the opponent’s defense at high speed gave a memorable performance.
In the first leg of the 2016-17 round of 16, PSG won 4-0 at home. But in the second leg, Camp Nou arrived and was defeated 6-1. This time the fight is also on two legs, so there is still all the revenge; However, in this great victory, PSG had to cover the old wound.
Barcelona could have been in danger early in the game. Mbabane came out of the D-box to lift his midfield partner; But he couldn’t take control. Mark-Andre Ter Stegen stepped forward and cleared the danger. In the 19th minute, Mauro Icardi dodged the goalkeeper in a heads-up from the left of the six-yard box, but his shot lacked speed. Pedri ran and stopped.
Barcelona got a good chance between these two PSG efforts. However, Antoine Griezmann could not make a good shot from close range. Goalkeeper Kyler Navas didn’t have the speed to control the ball.
Barcelona took the lead with Messi’s successful penalty shot in the 26th minute. The referee whistled the penalty when Frankie De Young was fouled from behind on the fast break.
This is Messi’s fourth goal in the tournament. All four are from penalties. The Argentine forward has scored 20 goals in all competitions this season.
PSG seemed to be left behind. They continue to attack one after another. The visitors got the goal after five minutes keeping the pressure. Mbabane beat Ter Stegen with a powerful shot from six meters outside the area, cutting Clemon Longley with a great pass from Marco Verratti in the D-box.
For the rest of the first half, both teams have a good chance. Two minutes after Levin Kurzawa’s shot was blocked by Stegen Corner, Griezmann’s corner kick was deflected on the counterattack.
Mauricio Pachettino’s team had two great chances in the first five minutes of the second half. Ter Stegen returned in exchange for a corner kick after Mbabane’s shot missed for a short time, repeatedly scaring to defend Barcelona at high speed.
PSG took the lead in the 85th minute keeping pressure. Ter Stegen was unable to block an Alessandro Florence cross from the baseline to the right, trying to pick up a run behind him, but the ball went to Mbabane with his foot. He found the address with a strong shot.
After a while, you might have a hat trick. However, this time the goalkeeper blocked his shot with his foot. But after a while they digested another goal. In the 70th minute, Italian forward Kin defeated Ter Stegen with a corner kick from Leandro Pardes’s great free-kick from the left wing.
Mbabane completed a hat-trick in the 75th minute of the fast break. After receiving a pass from Julian Draxler, the World Cup winning forward entered area D and wrapped the ball in the net with a corner kick.
Mbabane had scored just one goal in the previous nine knockout games in the PSG jersey. Four out of 10 games.
After losing by such a large margin, it is very difficult to turn around in the opponent’s court on the return. Almost impossible. However, Barcelona knows very well how to make difficult work possible. Ronald Kuman’s team will take the field of PSG on March 10 in that challenge.
