Outnumbered since the start of the second half, Pochettino’s men resist the attacks of the OM. Still dry
With Messi at the Velodrome one could expect something more. Instead the former “classique” of the former blaugrana ended without a goal. All in all, a fair draw, without great emotions, never truly spectacular, despite PSG also showing up on the pitch with Neymar, Mbappé, Di Maria, Verratti. Not Donnarumma, back on the bench. Sampaoli’s Marseille replied with the typical team, already seen against Lazio during the week, with Milik at the forefront, but obtaining the same result.
Wire
–
It ends 0-0, therefore, but in the first half there could have been a 1-1 draw if there hadn’t been two offsides to invalidate both the advantage of PSG, on an own goal, and that of Marseille. And all within six minutes. Which is also quite consistent with the type of race, always on the edge of a condensed tension from the 65 thousand of the Velodrome, overcrowded for the occasion. And so the two teams don’t produce their typical game. In the sense that the PSG maybe holds more ball but then does not exploit the spaces, left by a Marseille never in real pressure, almost intimidated in their own half.
Errors
–
Certain individual technical errors on both sides are also atypical. Like that of Peres who on 14 ‘goes ahead of Mbappé but puts in. The cross from the right is from Neymar, who started in an irregular position. Like Lirola, on 21 ‘, who uses a clash between Mendes and Neymar to pierce the right wing and serve Milik. And then Mbappé never finds the right corridor, Messi touches the crossbar with his head, but with his left he does not frame (35 ‘, 42’). And so we go to rest without nets. And with one less Verratti, replaced by Gueye for a hip problem.
Siege
–
The Psg, after 12 ‘in the second half, also finds himself with Hakimi less, but because he was sent off, after a foul by the last man on Under. In theory, the ideal scenario for Marseille to take the game in hand, but in fact it never manages to worry Navas. Of course, there is a first insidious header from Rongier, from Payet’s cross from the right (20 ‘), which ends up on the back, but then Sampaoli’s team doesn’t produce much else. And not even the siege in the last 10 ‘bears fruit, if not the first shot on goal at 1’ of recovery, with Guenduzi: nothing to worry about. Less still is the PSG forced to settle for some mild restart, never completed either by Mbappé, kept at bay by fellow countryman Saliba, or by Neymar, a substitute like Di Maria. In short, the 0-0 reflects well the progress of a match that will not end up in the annals of the “classique”. Despite being the first of Messi.
