PSG defeated Barsa 4-1 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League at the Camp Nou. Along with this, PSG managed to capture a very advantageous stop in the quarter-finals.
In this match, PSG came out with a 4-3-3 formation. First, Neymar and Angel Dimaria both missed due to injuries, prompting a change on the offensive line. With Mauro Icardi in the offensive vanguard, Killian Mbafe and Mois Ken stood on the left and right flanks, forming an attacking triangle. With Leandro Paredes as center, Marco Berati and Idrissa Geje built a midfield in the shape of an inverted triangle. Raibin Quirzawa and Alessandro Florenci were in charge of the left and right flank defenses, while Fresnel Kimpembe and Marquinos started as central defenders. The goal was kept by goalkeeper Kayler Navas.
Generally, Coach Pochettino prefers a 4-2-3-1 formation. Nothing else to take the baton of PSG, the first change was in the 4-2-3-1, where Berati was deployed as an attacking midfielder forward. After Verati was recently absent from corona-positive testing, he pitched a back-to-back 4-4-2 formation in rounds 22 and 23. Last weekend, in round 25 against Nice, he gave Berati a breather, that he was slightly injured. and took Julian Draxler, it was Pochettino who operated the 4-2-3-1 deployed in the midfielder. However, on the expedition to Barsa, he strengthened his waist by wearing a 4-3-3. It’s safe to say that it was a paving stone not to back down in the midway fight won, which is Barsa’s strength.
This had some effect. Paredes and Berati gave high quality passes and participated faithfully in defense, and Barsa did not push them at all in the midfield fight. On the contrary, until around minute 20, PSG were in a state to lead the attack.
Early in the game, Verati’s long pass went to Mbafe, but Barsa goalkeeper Mark-Andre There-Stegen came out and cleared it first, so the opportunity was not saved. In the 18th minute, Paredes, who was intercepted by Berati in the middle line, made a forward pass, and Icardi took a heads-up with the goalkeeper with the pass that Mbafe gave him, but the Barsa Pedriga midfielder went into cover Unfortunately, the scoring opportunity was broken by kicking it right in front of the goal line.
But around the 20th minute, after Geje received a yellow card with a hard tackle, he began to contract and one of the three waists began to shake. Along with this, the flow of the game moved to Barsa. In the process, in the 25th minute, Kurzawa fouled Barsa midfielder Franki de Yong, conceding a penalty kick and giving Barsa the first goal (Lionel Messi penalty goal).

PSG, who first conceded a goal to concede, began looking for the equalizer centered on the left line that led to Kurzawa, Berati and Mbafe. Barsa’s right flank defender Sergiño Dest, who is only 20 years old, was a poor defensive player, so it was not enough to mark Mbafe. Barsa’s right flank attacker Usman Dembele also stayed in front of him without joining the defense, increasing the load on Dest.
Finally, the tie broke out (32 minutes) in the attack on the left flank of PSG. Qirzawa’s cut pass (a pass that runs behind the diagonal line) was connected by Verati with a sensational one-touch pass, which Mbappé caught and defeated the defense and scored the goal. Barsa’s fault here was largely twofold. First, Dest was overly aware of Mbappé and was positioned in the center of the defense rather than the right side, giving Qirzawa overlapping space. Second, when defending, Dembélé’s defensive participation, who must tactically block the opponent’s left flank, was delayed.
With momentum building, PSG continued to attack the left flank centered on Mbafe. In the 35th minute, as Mbafe received a long pass from Paredes, Qirzawa pulled Dest out of the fight and hit the cut pass as a shot, but it was blocked by Barsa CEO Mark-Andre There Stegen. In the 37th minute, Ken’s powerful shot was also blocked by Ter Stegen. Just before the end of the first half, Icardi’s header hit the side net and, unfortunately, it was PSG that ended the first half 1-1 without scoring more goals.
Just looking at the average position of the first half, it is easy to see that PSG launched an attack from the left side. Quirjawa gave Mbappé the opportunity to shoot past and pass with Verati, practically like a flank forward.

Clearly, the 1-1 in the first half was a favorable result for visiting PSG. Even PSG was the team that led the attack in the last 15 minutes of the first half after Mbafe’s goal. However, coach Pochettino pitched the number of matches first. It was to replace Ander Herrera, except for Geye, the only PSG player in the first half.
On the other hand, coach Kuman exposed the problem that Dest and Dembélé’s right line was pushed back to Mbafe and Qirzawa during the first half, while defensive midfielder Serhi Busquets was delayed due to lack of agility, and followed the dynamic movement of the PSG midfielder. although he couldn’t go, he seemed to keep his replacement card. As a result, PSG were able to insist on attacks focused on mbafe.
Early in the second half, Mbafe’s mid-range shot missed on goal. Then, in the third minute of the second half, Verati took the cut pass after Mbafe’s brilliant dribble, but Barsa defender Herard Piqué headed out. In the fifth minute of the second half, Ken took the pass after Mbafe’s advance with a sensational hill pass from Icardi, but this was blocked by goalkeeper There Stegen.
Finally, in the 19th minute of the second half, Mbafe’s reverse goal broke out. Piqué tried to clear Paredes’ long pass with a strong cross without delay, but Mbafe caught it and scored the goal. There was also a Dest error in this goal scene. When Paredes sends a long pass, he breaks the offside trap by standing behind him alone. If Dest got the line right, he could commit an offside foul.

The momentum of PSG rose and did not stop attacking. Mbappé scored an extra goal, and immediately after 3 minutes (22 minutes in the second half) Icardi passed forward, he dribbled to pass Dest and took a shot, goalkeeper There saved with one leg Stegen. Two minutes later (second half 24 minutes), Ken scored an indirect free kick from Paredes with a header and PSG extended the score to 3-1.
In the 26th minute of the second half, impatient coach Kooman subtracted Dest, who had been attacked intensely by Mbafe throughout the game, and replaced Oscar Mingesa. Then, in the second half of minute 33, Piqué, Busquets and Pedri withdrew, and Ricky Putz, Miralem Pjanic and Trinkan were used to reinforce the attack.
The interesting thing here was the replenishment around minute 28 of the second part of PSG. The attack was fueled by the elimination of Berati, who needed a break because he recently missed due to injury, and the injection from attacking midfielder Draxler. You could say that he was a possible replacement because it was calculated that additional goals were possible if it was the current environment.
This also worked. Five minutes from the end of the match, Draxler knocked off a single forward in a counterattack situation, drew three Barsa players from a spot just outside the opposing penalty area and delivered a pass, which Mbafe scored with a shot. nonstop Completed hat-trick. Along with this, the first leg of the round of 16 ended with PSG’s victory 4-1.

Of course, the hero of this match is Mbafe, the hat-trick hero. Mbafe led the PSG attack, constantly violating Dest. Among the players, Mbappé was a monster with the most shots (6 times), the greatest dribbling advance (10 times) and the most opportunities (4 times).
However, Pochettino’s tactical support was the basis for Mbafe’s insane performance. On the other hand, coach Barsa Kuman gave the excuse for massive concessions, as if Mbafe had been neglected. In other words, it is safe to assess that this game was a complete victory for Pochettino in the ingenious fight against Coach Kuman.
Coach Pochettino has been absolutely inferior in 11 games against Barsa, with 1 win, 4 draws and 6 losses, while serving as coach of Espanyol and Tottenham. It was Pochettino who failed to beat Barsa for 12 years after winning 2-1 at the Camp Nou on February 21, 2009 with Espanyol. French teams, not just Pochettino, also showed utter inferiority, as they never won the Camp Nou campaign in the Champions League. However, Pochettino finally broke the cruelty of the Camp Nou and achieved a historic victory.
