The men of Luis Enrique nevertheless led 2-0 after 27 minutes of play, which brought the 5-1 score on the whole confrontation. But the club of the capital then conceded three consecutive goals, with consequence an irrespirable half hour on the lawn of Villa Park.
“Me, I saw fear,” decided Emmanuel Petit in the After Foot, on RMC. “When you have so much control over the first 20 minutes of play, you lead 5-1 on the two games and that at once you start to fall into ease, a certain arrogance in your game and you forget the principles that have made your strength for so many weeks … I saw half of the team hide. Look at the number of times they swung behind it, they did not really have the ball. Fear, they would have shown that character. “
Small: “I saw Parisians tremble”
For Emmanuel Petit, the memory of the recent Disillusions of PSG on the European scene, like eliminations against FC Barcelona in 2017, Manchester United in 2019 or Real Madrid in 2022, then went up.
“I saw Parisians tremble. The ghosts of the past gradually returned to the field. It was obvious,” assured our consultant.
“They were constantly swaying, could no longer build … They were filled guys! All the Parisian supporters also filled because they felt the same thing. At no time players did not send positive signals. We trembled until the last minute, until the resumption of flight saved on the line. These are things that we no longer thought of seeing the side of PSG.”
“If there had not been Donnarumma … While there were still 5-1! I saw pinball players”, insisted Emmanuel Petit in After Foot. “Defensively, it was great anything. It was snatched, there was no more mastery. They gradually felt that the demons of the past came back. That it serves them as a lesson, because at 2-0 they stopped playing and fell into arrogance.”
Despite this huge fear, PSG will be there for the semi-finals. They will find the winner of the quarter -final between Real Madrid and Arsenal. After the Gunners' 3-0 victory at the outward journey, the return match takes place this Wednesday evening at the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium (9 p.m.).
