PSG defeated FC Barcelona with 3:2 in the second round of Champion League. In interesting match, the team from France has the better performance and takes the three points. This was a first Barcelona’s defeat this season.
After ten minutes of play David Luiz opened the result for 1:0 lead for PSG. Barca response quickly. After 120 second, Leo Messi scored for equalizing the score. Marco Verratti score in 26’ minute for 2:1 on half time.
After the break Matiudi from PSG score for 3:1 in 54 minute but in the next minute, Neymar hits the net for 3:2. After this Barcelona has dozen of chance for equalizing, but the result was unchanged in 90 minutes of play. Barcelona’s attack was inferior to the PSG’s defense.
This was a real test for Barca’s defense. Till now, they don’t faced with real opponent’s threat. But after this game, they must consolidate the defense line. First of all, the goalkeeper Ter Stengen acts very unsecure making a dozen risky interventions. On the other hand, whole back line of Barca was very confused, with many problems to stop the PSG’s attack.
After two games in Champions League, Barcelona has a one victory and one defeat. It’s no doubt that the Catalonia’s team will provide the next phase but the weak defence is one of the biggest problem for head coach Luis Enrique.
Barcelona will play on saturday night against Rayo Vallecano. That will be a nice opportunity for come back to the winning track, and good chance to improve the gameplay and heal the wound from their first defeat in this season. But they also must improve the defense line. Otherwise, they risked to be punished for every single mistake.
