PSG defeated Juventus 2-1 in front of their fans in the first round of the Champions League hit of the new season. Reliable Kylian Mbappe showed a double. Arkadiusz Milik played 68 minutes and had a great opportunity to get into the list of snipers.
After several months of hiatus, the Champions League game has resumed. In the first round, PSG’s match against Juventus was undoubtedly one of the hit matches. Especially from the Polish point of view, because Arkadiusz Milik was given a chance in the first part of the Old Lady. The coach of the Italian national team decided to play with two strikers.
The fabulous performance of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the Champions League
The first half of Juventus was just bad. Wards Massimiliano Allegri were helpless in front of the excellent mood of the hosts. The Parisians have identified the weaknesses of their rivals, especially the defensive play, which has looked terrible since the beginning of the season. While the statistics themselves do not specifically prove the superiority and dominance of the French champions, the truth is that they controlled the course of events.
Christophe Galtier’s first shot came in the 5th minute. Kylian Mbappe is on the shooter list. The French took advantage of the phenomenal transfer of Neymar directly from the Brazilian beach. The tricolor star hit the Juventus goalkeeper hard from the air.
In the 22nd minute, the hosts extended the lead. They scored again after a great game. This time on the right side of the field. The Old Lady’s defense had been misplaced. Ashraf Hakimi passed to Kylian Mbappe from the first ball, he shot without receiving and scored again.
In the meantime, it is worth emphasizing that Arkadiusz Milik had a great opportunity with the score 1-0 in favor of PSG. Juan Cuadrado sensationally fired a cross into the penalty area for the Pole who won the fight against Sergio Ramos. He hit hard, but Gianluigi Donnarumma showed an even better intervention.
Juventus goal. Three points remain in Paris
After the side switch, the start was similar to the first half. However, this time the team from Italy, Weston McKenny, who replaced Fabio Miretti at half-time, struck on goal. The American entered the list of shooters in just eight minutes. Gianluigi Donnarumma has committed a goal error. The Italian unnecessarily stepped on Filip Kostic’s pass because he missed the ball.
Luckily for the Parisians, he quickly redeemed himself. In the 56th minute, he perfectly parried Dusan Vlahovic’s shot. Before that, the Serb was almost invisible on the field. Arkadiusz Milik was more fond of the game. PSG responded with a kick from Kylian Mbappé. The French tried close to the post after Leo Messi’s pass.
The French champions lost full control of this match. The players of the “Old Lady” at any time could equalize. As the minutes passed, they clearly got off to a good start. At the 68th minute, Arkadiusz Milik completed his performance in this match. The Pole was replaced by Manuel Locatelli. The second half of our representative was not very successful.
