Champions: A Liverpool with a thousand lives leaves the PSG recital at all

Football is a cruel sport and sometimes it is given with who makes the offensive game an almost perfect symphony. The PSG finished off 28 times and threw 14 corner serves in front of Liverpool before falling fulminated by a shot of Harvey Elliott. It would be superfluous to judge justice or deserves. Even more absurd to reduce a memorable action to the devastating goal logic. But the success, after all, is what it counts. [Narración and estadísticas (0-1)]

Liverpool was enough for a ball hanging towards the head of Darwin Núñez and an elliott left in the 87th minute to consolidate his fame as a survivor. Also to destroy PSG’s dreams, which could not accumulate more merits to go to Anfield in advantage. Big or small. As your football or as your aim.

Little more can be reproached for Luis Enriquewith a 4-3-3 with three fabulous musketeers: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola y Ousmane Dembélé. From the start, the former Barcelona was going to be unstoppable. From the right profile or accelerating through the center. After the quarter of an hour, he already forced a corner kick, which he himself dried to gestate a goal of Kvarathskhelia. Of course, the PSG deserved 1-0, but from the VAR they discovered an advanced foot of the Georgian.

Precision, speed, fantasy

With such a torrent, it was enough to liverpool with holding the males around Alisson Becker. And in depositing your faith in Davide Massa the Italian referee who made deaf ears to claims for a penalty about Kvarathskhelia and for a push from Ibrahima Konaté About barola that could well be judged as a red card. When half an hour was fulfilled, another triple local occasion arrived, resolved between Alisson, decisive against Dembélé and two bad decisions of Barcola.

If any bold would like to include football among the Fine Arts, I could well take note of that first time of the PSG. A precision, speed, ambition and fantasy festival. It was not modern football, but eternal football. Luis Enrique’s men pushed in search of his sixth consecutive victory in the Champions League, an unattainable milestone for them since 1995. But if their five previous wins came out with 21 goals, Liverpool reached rest with 0-0. The last two times of Kvarathskhelia plugged them with Alisson thanks to their sovereign category.

Los reds They didn’t know where to start containing their waterways. His inferiority in the center of the field was accentuated because of Achraf akimiwhich left the side to escort Vitinha y Fabián Ruiz. The Portuguese dictated the tempo And the Spanish took out the left as the soloist his violin. In case of loss, that there was, the pressure line, perfectly synchronized, acted immediately to erase the adversary.

There was no trace of Mo is wrongthe striker directly involved in 52 goals after 39 games. Nuno Mendes He gave no option. Luis Díaz y Diogo Jota They ran backwards, panic dams. Arne Slotcommander of a drifting ship, could only trust one last resort: the tiredness of the rival. And the second part gave him all the reason.

Of course, the PSG continued to shoot with danger, thanks to Kvararatskhelia and an attempt of Olympic corner of Dembélé saved under sticks by sticks Dominic. However, the Parisian orchestra already left some note outside the compass. He did not push with the same energy, nor protected himself with so much order.

Luis Enrique, more aware than anyone, retired to Barcola to give way to Desireda 19 -year -old boy who forced Alisson to another huge effort. It ran the 83rd minute and Dembélé still tested the Brazilian goalkeeper with his last attempt, halfway between the center and the auction. There were no half inks that were worth it. Núñez and Elliott knew well.
