Passive defense, Donnarumma not impeccable
At the entrance to the area, Almiron has plenty of time to review part of the Parisian defense, which is particularly passive in this action. The Paraguayan attacking midfielder’s curled shot seems within Donnarumma’s reach. But the Italian goalkeeper, already guilty of a big foot error last Friday in Ligue 1 against Monaco (5-2 victory), released the ball in the middle and let Isak crucify him at point blank range.
Before taking this blow to the head, the Parisians were close to shaking the English nets. In the 9th minute, Mbappé attempted a Madjer inside Newcastle’s six meters but came up against Pope, the Magpies goalkeeper.
This Tuesday evening, PSG plays its European future against Newcastle. In the event of a bad result, Luis Enrique’s men could find themselves in an uncomfortable situation during the 6th day, with a perilous trip to negotiate on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund.
