Zero points: PSG was beaten 1-0 at home on Thursday by Bayern Munich, following a second defeat in two days of the Champions League after the disappointment in Amsterdam against Ajax.
Paris SG wanted to “measure themselves against such an opponent”, explained their coach Jocelyn Prêcheur on Wednesday. It’s done and the observation is clear: the Parisians have found themselves stronger.
After the 2-0 defeat in the Netherlands against Ajax, the most affordable opponent in Group C which also includes AS Rome, Paris had to “react and put in a good match”, recognized Prêcheur, who had described this meeting as “decisive”. “It’s our place, we have to take points,” he had hoped.
Even before the other group match, between AS Roma and Ajax Amsterdam (9:00 p.m.), PSG is last without a point. Bayern, who conceded a draw against Roma last week, temporarily go first.
In a very sparsely filled Jean Bouin stadium, the PSG ultras saved the atmosphere in their kop. They also criticized the advanced kick-off time, at 6:45 p.m.: “Prestigious match, Amateur schedule, Welcome to UEFA”, was written on three banners.
If they had several dangerous situations, the Parisians were too feverish defensively to hope to win against the Munich women who mastered their subject.
Feverish in the image of this disagreement in the 7th minute, when Jade Le Guilly almost deceived goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek with a back header, stopped at the last minute on the line in two stages.
It was on a free kick taken at the far post, and after a header from captain Glodis Viggosdottir, that Magdalena Eriksson opened the scoring, alone in front of the goal (21st).
Holder, striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto tried several times (10th, 36th, 37th), without success. The one who is waiting to return to her best level after a serious injury to her right knee came out at half-time.
Captain Grace Geyoro, Tabitha Chawinga and Laurina Fazer who entered the game tried to break through the German defense, but it resisted. Bayern even came close to knocking out Paris (70th, 88th).
Against AS Roma at home on December 14, PSG will no longer have the right to make mistakes.
