3 d. ago Kvaratskhelia, PSG’s joyous throwback, delivers moment of old

PSG’s winger makes up his own moments – and he scored a beauty to set Luis Enrique’s side on course for victoryIt took three minutes of the second half for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, perhaps the most watchable footballer in Europe right now, to confirm the way this game was going.Unai Emery had sent on Axel Disasi for Matty Cash at the break, with the score 1-1 and PSG hugely dominant on every metric. Cash was effectively doomed in this game from the moment he was booked pulling Kvaratskhelia back, just trying to stop the pain on Aston Villa’s right side, and already facing a case of terminal neck-crick from staring down at those shuffling feet. That was Cash’s fourth foul with just 17 minutes gone. Tick tock. Continue reading...

3 d. ago Late Nuno Mendes goal hurts Aston Villa hopes to stretch PSG’s advantage

Luis Enrique is regarded as the manager who finally transformed Paris Saint-Germain from a team of individuals into a team but that does not prevent players from expressing themselves. For Exhibit A, see Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s preposterous strike that helped earn PSG a deserved advantage heading into the second leg of this quarter-final. Exhibit B was a beauty, too, Désiré Doué sending a rasping strike in off the woodwork after Morgan Rogers gave Villa a shock first-half lead. By the end it was 3-1, 29 shots to six and it was tempting to wonder quite how many full-backs Unai Emery would require to cage PSG’s ravenous front three.As the flag a handful of supporters posed with on the Pont d’Iéna, opposite the Eiffel Tower, several hours before kick-off declared, this was Emery in Paris and drama was a given. It is why the Prince of Wales was compelled to be here, his eldest son in tow. “I want George to experience a night out away from home in a big European competition,” the royal V...

3 d. ago Late Nuno Mendes strike caps PSG comeback to hurt Aston Villa hopes

Luis Enrique is regarded as the manager who finally transformed Paris Saint-Germain from a group of individuals into a team but that process, changing the DNA to use his words, has not prohibited players from expressing themselves. For Exhibit A, see Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s preposterous strike, a flash of lightning that helped to secure for PSG a deserved advantage heading into the second leg of this quarter-final.Exhibit B was a beauty, too, Désiré Doué cracking a rasping strike in off the woodwork after Morgan Rogers gave Villa a shock first-half lead. The killer goal, for both teams, came in stoppage time, Nuno Mendes making it 3-1. By the end it was 29 shots to seven and tempting to wonder quite how many full-backs Unai Emery would require to cage PSG’s ravenous front three of Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé and Doué, the prodigious teenager. Frankly it is hard to envisage PSG not scoring at Villa Park. Continue reading...

5 d. ago Luis Enrique said PSG would improve without Kylian Mbappé. He was right

PSG have been flawless this season – something they never achieved with Leo Messi, Neymar and Mbappé in the teamBy Get French Football News“It’s only the start,” said Lucas Hernández as Paris Saint-Germain wrapped up their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title in muted fashion against Angers on Saturday. To be crowned league champions is the crescendo of a season for many clubs; for PSG, it is merely the starting gun.This isn’t the earliest that PSG have won the title. In March 2016, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored four of his 38 league goals that season in a 9-0 win over Troyes, ensuring Laurent Blanc’s side wrapped up the title with eight games to spare. This term though, there weren’t the same fireworks as Désiré Doué’s solitary goal was enough to secure the all-important win but, make no mistake, this has been PSG’s most emphatic title win.
