    PSG vs Lille: Paris Saint-Germain Punish Lille Eraser to win French Cup showdown


    Paris Saint-Germain entered the quarter-finals of the French Cup on Wednesday, while giving them a psychological setback in their quest for the Lit 1 title as they beat top-of-the-table Lille 3–0. This was the correct response from PSG after their shock weekend home loss to Nante, who had stolen the watch at the houses of Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos during the match. “We have done a difficult job for the players and their families for the last few days,” PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino said. “No one is ready for this type of situation. The players did a great job staying focused. Their mood was excellent. Angel and Marquinhos enjoyed playing.”

    In both of the first meetings of the international break between the teams at the Parc des Princes, the difference was a series of mistakes by Lily at key moments.

    “It’s always the same, it’s against Paris on the field of truth that it matters,” Lille midfielder Benjamin Andre said.

    When Di Maria crossed a low into the near post after nine minutes, Lille keeper Tiago Giullo took a wild swing. Goalkeeper Mike Migan threw the deflected ball, only turning it towards his goal. Mauro Icardi needed to gather his intelligence before being rolled into an empty net.

    Icardi was shut out for 36 minutes, replaced by Kian Maleppé, who started on the bench.

    Four minutes later, MBP mended to the edge of Lily’s penalty area until Zeki Celik took the bait, held out one knee and brought the striker down.

    Following Lille’s protest, Mbappe pushed the spot-kick to the roof of the net.

    Lilly coach Christophe Galtier said, “Our first half-century was sneaky, we think we saw him playing a little bit, which made it clear that he felt that the first half of the referee was too bad.

    “They have control, experience, they have the ability to put everyone to sleep, and when I say everyone, I mean everyone.”

    Lily had a chance when she won her own penalty with 13 minutes to play, hitting the outstretched hand of Jeremy Pied’s cross to Byvin Levina Kurzawa.

    Lil again weaved as did Keyser Navas to save Yusuf Yazaki’s tame sentence.

    “Keeler is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, his stature is unbelievable,” Pochettino said.

    Three minutes into the added time on the half-line, Xolo misjudged the PSG clearance. Mbappe raced away from the Lille defender and drilled Maignan past the third.

    “We didn’t play a cup game,” Galtier said. “In the cup, at the end you either qualify or you are out. The score may look harsh, but we can’t compete with Paris if we only play one half.”

    Promoted

    PSG, the defending champion, Lily with three points in Ligue 1 and a comeback date is on the horizon. The pair met again at the Paras des Princes after an international break, with Leon clashing with Nimes after PSG finished third on Sunday.

    “On April 3, it will be another competition, another competition,” Pochettino said. “We have Lyon on Sunday and in two weeks after that, we have to recharge our batteries after the first two months of insanity.”

    Lunch 1: PSG miss top spot after shock Nantes defeat


    Paris Saint-Germain missed a chance to top Lat 1 on Sunday after falling to a shock following a 2–1 home loss to the Nantes, which led to a league lead despite a 0–0 draw over Lille Monaco Was successful in keeping. The goalscoring champion had a chance to finish first from Lille on goal difference, but strikes from Randall Kolo and Moses Simon erased PSG’s half-time lead, which came through Julian Drexler, and the Capitol Club But campaigned for the fourth house. Lille remain on top and score one on PSG, leading to three points on both him and Lyon, who can only come to the rims on Friday.

    Pochettino made five changes from Barcelona to the previous Champions League quarter-finalists and his side could have easily gone ahead quickly.

    Angel Di Maria’s 11th-minute rocket was well saved by Alban Lafont and Marquinos should have performed better shortly after when he moved to Drakler’s corner when he was completely unmarked.

    However, Nante came into the game after that and felt he should have been awarded a penalty in the 20th minute, when Principal Kimpembe landed Randall Kolo, not just awarded a spot-kick.

    Ten minutes later home goalkeeper Kaylor Navis kept the score level with a superb score from Ludovic Blas’ brilliant half-volley, and PSG then briefly awakened.

    Kian Mabappe first worked some space to slap, before Rafina tested Lafont’s fingers with a piercing effort from the edge of the box.

    Drakeler opened the scoring three minutes before the break when he survived a left-footed shot on a loose ball.

    PSG lose their way

    The turmoil caused by the turf and equalizer seems to have an effect on PSG players and Nantes took full advantage in the 71st minute through Moses Simon, who tapped Kolo’s square pass and then had to wait a long while VAR Ensured that no one is in and out. Make.

    Former PSG player and coach Antoine Komboure then watched his new team bravely as the host team tried to get something out of the game.

    Christophe Galtier’s Lily finished in first place after their largely uneven draw in Monaco.

    Monaco are seven points behind fourth-placed Lille after failing to take the ground in the Champions League race next season.

    They are four points behind third-placed Lyon, who have held the previous Champions League spot.

    Monaco, who had a bismuth Ben Yedder goal, who ruled out after checking for VAR in the first half, almost snatched the death through substitute Steven Jowick, but Montenegrin’s close-range effort was scored by Mike Magnon Well laid out.

    Coach Nico Kovac said, “Jowick is very disappointed. It was a big opportunity but Magnan is excellent.”

    “I’m satisfied with how my team played … My impression is that Lil came here to get a draw, as they used to play at the counter.”

    The draw at the principality was also extended to 11 matches, an unbeaten league run for Lille that stretched back to early January.

    The following weekend PSG travels to Lyon, itself with a three-point lead while the Lily hosts threaten Nimez.

  • Champions League: ‘Raymontada’ is repeated again and again but Barcelona can regain the honor against PSG

    Champions League: ‘Raymontada’ is repeated again and again but Barcelona can regain the honor against PSG


    “Let’s go to Paris and see if we can make a comeback,” shouted Joan LaPorta, cheers echoing around the room as she and her team celebrated their election as Barcelona’s new president on Sunday. It was almost midnight and the result was not yet official, but the victory was clear and already LaPorta was envisioning such an outcome against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday that the president of an upcoming club could only dream. can see.

    Barca suffered a 4–1 defeat in the second leg and not only that but also hidden memories at Camp Nou, a 45-minute whirlwind when Kilien Mapppe raced, and PSG rioted.

    Bay in the square, not just the score, meant nobody was talking about repeating the famous ‘Rimontada’ of 2017 in a comeback game, at least all Barcelona coaches and players.

    “I don’t know, there’s one leg left. It’s going to be very difficult, we all know that,” Frenki De Jong moments later said, after the whole time, barely got the energy to speak.

    “There is always another match,” said coach Ronald Cowman. “But after 1-4 at home I’m not going to lie to you, there is very little chance.”

    Komen left Gerrard Peak for 12 minutes, not because the defender was injured, but because he wanted to preserve his fragile knee for the coming games. “There was no need to take risks,” he said.

    When Barcelona drew at the home of Cadiz the following weekend, Coman said he was more disappointed with that result than the loss to PSG.

    “Maybe I’m more realistic than other people,” Komman said.

    – new system –

    Since then Barca scored four in a row, scoring 10 goals and winning none. They have gone within three points of leaders Atletico Madrid in the league and reached the Copa del Rey final, losing 2–0 in the first leg to win 3–2 overall against Sevilla.

    Komen has moved to a new system with three central defenders, two wing-backs and two up front. This could have given him more protection against the attack on the French side, which would again deprive Neymar, still unfit.

    Good form, however, proved to be a poor gauge of Barcelona’s chances in the first leg against less impressive opponents in the league and cup. Unlike 2017, they will not have a deadly front three to instill fear, nor will Camp Nou have 99,000 fans, or at any time, to fire.

    “Let’s be realistic,” says Joan Burton, president of the Barca fan group Penya Anguera.

    “For Barca fans, this final-16 tie is basically already lost. Barca could probably win 2–0, 3–1 in Paris, but to score four without any wins? This is practically impossible. “

    Yet perhaps that is all they need – any win, a positive performance as well – to maintain the current tilt ahead of the final two months of the season.

    It symbolizes how much Barcelona have fallen that a dignified exit in the final 16 of the Champions League can be considered a success but it is also a reality for a club in crisis.

    Laporta’s task is to get him out of it and his comeback has created a sense of jubilee, pre-eminently indifferent to the past, but also with the symbolism of a new leader who seeks the future.

    In his victory speech on Sunday, LaPorta made sure to focus on the people of Lionel Messi, Argentina, who first voted in the election and then congratulated LaPorta for his success.

    Now at least, it is hoped afresh that Messi can be persuaded to stay.

    “Dekh Leo, the best player in the world, coming to vote with his son is a sign to me that everything we said is with him,” LaPorta said. “Leo loves Barsa.”

    Messi may have to quit if he is set on winning the Champions League again, but according to the idea of ​​a new president, whom he believes, progress may still be substantial.

    For Barca in Paris, it would be something to hold on to.
