Long pale manchester
From the guests’ point of view, the game started off ideally. Already in minute 6 Neymar hit after a rebound from an acute angle to make it 1-0. Manchester did not achieve much for a long time. Just an unfortunate distraction from PSG player Danilo Pereira (32nd) was an impossible task for Keylor Navas.
In the second half, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team had their chances. But Anthony Martial (50th), Edinson Cavani (57th) or Paul Pogba (80th) could not be successful.
On the other hand, the Parisians did better. Marquinhos scored the second opening goal in the 69th minute, while Neymar added the final point in injury time.
Fred twice out of luck and then out of luck
In addition to the many actions in the penalty area, United’s Fred caused a stir:
- 23. Minute: Fred and Leandro Paredes from Paris face off. After a header from the United player, his opponent falls, a clear assault. Referee Daniele Orsato sees it differently despite studying the video. The referee simply shows the offender the yellow card.
- 38. Minute: Paredes and Fred are again in the center of the field. After the duel, the PSG player sees the yellow card. On replay, however, it becomes apparent that Fred Paredes is hot on his heels.
- 70. Minute: After an alleged foul, Fred definitely sees the yellow-red card. Solo: For once, the Brazilian did not foul, but clearly plays the ball in a duel.
Sörloth redeems Leipzig
RB Leipzig can also continue to dream of the Champions League round of 16 thanks to a 4-3 win at Istanbul Basaksehir. The guests had to tremble despite their playful superiority, as they gave up 2-0 and 3-1. In the end, Alexander Sörloth redeemed Leipzig in the 92nd minute with the winning goal.
Thus, on the last day of the Group H match (December 8) there will be two “finals”. Manchester faces Leipzig in a direct duel, PSG receives Basaksehir.
