For its debut in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain conceded a draw in Bruges (1-1) on Wednesday. Paris Saint-Germain did not shine for its European debut. Worse, Messi and his team have faltered against a good team of Club Brugge, which has made a good copy to crunch a point against the self-designated favorite of this new edition of the Champions League. Paris will have to show much more in two weeks against Manchester City.
The first of the trio Mbappé-Neymar-Messi will not remain a great memory for Paris Saint-Germain. With its three offensive stars, the capital club conceded a disappointing draw on the pitch of Brugge (1-1), on the occasion of the 1st day of the group stage of the Champions League.
Liverpool came to the end of Milan
Liverpool came to the end of AC Milan (3-2) in the Champions League. A successful performance for the manager of the Reds Jürgen Klopp, who only regrets the drop in speed at the end of the first half.
We played a great game,” said the German. We played great soccer, we gave them nothing until the last minutes of the first half and we were punished. We got carried away by our performance, we didn’t keep our soccer simple and our defense was poorly organized. (…) We had to come back to the game we had played, especially defensively, and we scored two very good goals. There were ten minutes when Milan could have turned the game around. But, apart from those ten minutes, that’s the soccer I want to see!”
Liverpool could have been spared this back-and-forth scenario if Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan hadn’t saved Mohamed Salah’s penalty.
