1 week 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.

1 week 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.
