A dubious penalty by superstar Neymar prevented RB Leipzig from achieving a strong Champions League performance. Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team lost on Tuesday to Paris Saint-Germain by 0: 1 (0: 1) thus losing the direct confrontation with the French champions after the 2: 1 first leg. This means that the Saxons have to worry about progressing back into the premier class.
PSG well rewarded with victory
Neymar’s goal of the evening (11th minute) gave his criticized coach Thomas Tuchel some breathing room despite the sometimes shocking performance. Leipzig now have to win the two remaining group games in Istanbul Basaksehir and against Manchester United in order to enter the round of 16.
Nagelsmann also responded with an offensive on the return of superstars Neymar and Kylian Mbappé. In front of the midfield trio Emil Forsberg, Dani Olmo and Christopher Nkunku, he also drove Yussuf Poulsen crazy. But first he put the shock in his own penalty area. After a clumsy duel between Marcel Sabitzer and Angel Di Maria, referee Danny Makkelie decided on a penalty, which Neymar converted with a bit of luck.
Leipzig works unsuccessfully
Subsequently, the previous season’s finalist fell into liability, leaving Leipzig to play and the chances. Sabitzer’s shot (12th) was deflected for a corner and a Dayot Upamecano header passed PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the same minute. In the first round alone, RB had over 60% ball possession and won it quickly repeatedly with first-rate counter-pressures. The best idea, which Nagelsmann had called decisive before the game, clearly came from his team. But then there was often a lack of spirit in the later actions and the Parisian defense rarely had to stop the dangerous races.
After one of the few successful combinations, Yussuf Poulsen (36th) showed poor shooting technique and chased the ball from eleven meters into the Parisian evening sky. Navas blocks a Haidara shot (38 °) with some difficulty, while Forsberg’s volley (45 ° + 1) from close range did not force the keeper to intervene.
Tough duels, few chances to score
The same pressure from Leipzig continued after the change. Forsberg (49th) returned with a volley, only missing the goal by a few centimeters. Two minutes later, a shot from Sabitzer ran past. The Austrian had to endure a moment of shock after Mbappé accidentally jumped on his forearm at full speed in a duel.
Nagelsmann reacted tactically, brought Willi Orban a third central defender and switched to a three-man chain. Justin Kluivert has replaced Olmo and should put more pressure on the right wing. A second forward came to Alexander Sörloth in the last 15 minutes. Leipzig pushed the Parisians, completely limited to counter-attacks, further back, but in the end they were out of luck. (dpa)
Fernandes ushers in United’s victory
In the second Group H match, Manchester United celebrated the undisputed 4-1 home win against Turkish champions Basaksehir Iatanbul. The fact that everything went smoothly in the early stages of the home team is mainly due to one player: Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese scored 1-0 after nine minutes with a beautiful shot from distance.
On 19 minutes, he scored 2-0 with a push. Younger Marcus Rashford (35th, penalty) and Daniel James (92nd) were the other scorers for the English. For the Turkish guests, Deniz Türüc was successful after 75 minutes. The win keeps United three points clear of Leipzig and the PSG group leader. (Tzi)
Bruno Fernandes proves once again how important he is for Manchester United. The Portuguese struck twice against Istanbul Başakşehir: his first goal is a feast for the eyes. (Video: blue Sport)
Haaland creates a good starting position
Borussia Dortmund took a big step towards the Champions League round of 16. Coach Lucien Favre’s side won 3-0 (2-0) against Club Bruges on Tuesday night and widened the gap with third-placed Belgians to five points. This means that BVB is only missing one point from the last two games to advance. Erling Haaland with his 15th and 16th Champions League goals (18th and 60th minutes) and Jadon Sancho (45th + 1) scored Dortmund’s victory.
In the home match against Bruges, Erling Haaland hits twice, Jaden Sancho once. But his goal really deserves to be seen. (Video: blue Sport)
Lazio opens its doors to the second round
Lazio Roma also have good prospects as second in Group F behind Borussia Dortmund. The Italians are four points ahead of third Bruges after the 3-1 (2-1) against Zenit St. Petersburg.
Sovereign of Barcelona without Messi
In Group G, FC Barcelona won their fourth win in the fourth game with a 4-0 (0-0) win at Dynamo Kiev without the spared Lionel Messi. Behind Barca, the Italian record champion Juventus is also ahead with nine points thanks to the happy 2-1 (1-1) against Ferencvaros Budapest. Kiev and Budapest are followed by one point each.
Chelsea and Sevilla are on
Chelsea won 2-1 (1-0) at the Stade Rennes and can no longer be moved from one of the top two places. The same goes for FC Sevilla, who also won 2-1 (1-1) at FK Krasnodar. Chelsea and Sevilla have ten points each in Group E. For Rennes and Krasnodar (1 each) it is only the qualification for the Europa League. (dpa)
