23:35 – Good night

Thank you à all and &agrav; everyone for accompanying us to follow the opening match of the 20th day of Ligue 1 between Strasbourg and Paris Saint-Germain.

We were watching for the Parisian reaction, a week after having been attacked. hooked by Brest to the Parc des Princes, and we were almost surprised. Everything could have been very different if Strasbourg had been controlled. as realistic as the cold that reigned outside. the Meinau. With 20 shots, Patrick Vieira's men had some situations, from the first minute when Sahi Dion received a ball from Angelo at 6 meters ;tres and saw his attempt bounce off the shoulder of Donnarumma and again in injury time, Sylla not managing to make the save. give strength à this extended free kick by a partner even though he was alone against the Italian goalkeeper of PSG. Two actions among others which did not end at the bottom and which allowed the French champion to return from Alsace with what he had come to seek: victory.

Because for its part, the Parisian club did not have any success. also generous. Mbappé yet missed a penalty, brilliantly released by the firm left hand of Bellaarouch. For his first in Ligue 1, the young Moroccan goalkeeper, replacing Matz Sels, the former Alsatian captain who left the day before on the last day of the winter transfer window, already saw himself in the squad. as the hero of the evening. He was punished & half an hour into the game. Too confident in his restart, he was blocked. by Asensio. With a pass, the Spaniard transmitted à Mbappé, who only had 'à roll the ball 18 meters to send it into the empty goal. The international tricolor may miss his target but not at all. every time. From then on, the rhythm of the match changed. From crazy, he became purring, anesthetized… by the regained technical mastery of PSG. An amplified effect when upon returning from the locker room, the roles were reversed with the former Monegasque offering the goal to the hosts. the former Real Madrid player after one against the illuminated thal by the orientation of Ruiz.

However, the people of Strasbourg did not disarm, convinced by the example of Brest that a return was possible in the face of great odds. this less sovereign PSG. Port by the percussion of Bakwa and Angelo as well as the volume of Diarra, they were rewarded when the first victoriously took back the center dropped by by the second.

Too timid heads and a sharp strike point blank too far away. Strasbourg had lefté take his chance and could say goodbye à his streak of 6 matches without defeat in Ligue 1.

For its part, PSG confirmed; the doubts that have accompanied him in recent weeks. Its sides are too permeable and its axis is not compact enough.
