1’: We’re off!
4’: Malick Thiaw into the book for a foul on Kolo Muani. That’s a bad card to pick up this early.
7’: Rade Krunić on a card now too. Not the start Milan wanted.
16’: Achraf Hakimi clatters into Musah from behind
22’: Mbappé with the first shot on target! Maignan get down quickly is behind it all the way.
26’: Leão with the shot! Or it might have been a pass to Giroud but Giroud lets it pass by him and it goes wide of the far bottom corner.
30’: Mbappé fires a missile from distance that drifts wide of the far post.
32’: GOAL PSG!! Kylian Mbappé does a quick cut by Kalulu and fires right into the near side!
44’: Ousmane Dembélé clips Giroud to stop a counter
HT Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 AC Milan One great individual goal from Mbappé is the difference at the half.
46’: Milan substitution: Davide Calabria on for Malick Thiaw
46’: We’re back!
48’: Goal PSG! They pound forward on the counter, and it’s finished off by Ousmane Dembélé who breaks free and sends it under the keeper’s arm! Except… no, the ref is going to look at the screen and cancel it, for a pretty rough foul by Ugarte on Musah in the buildup. Definitely a foul, but it was pretty far back from the goal… that might be controversial.
50’: A chance for Milan! Pulisic is one-on-one with the keeper! But he passes to Giroud! Giroud can’t quite get back to it and hits it into the side netting! Now Giroud is limping a little.
53’: GOAL PSG!! This one will stand! And it’s a terrible miscue by the Milan defense! PSG take the corner short, then Dembélé fires one on target. Maignan saves it but pushes it right into Randal Kolo Muani who quickly fires into the net! Entire Milan team napping!
58’: Mbappé tears holes through the defense again! But this time Maignan makes the save.
61’: Fikayo Tomori into the book for catching Kolo Muani in the face with his hand
62’: Pierre Kalulu fouls Mbappé from behind. These are some soft-ass cards.
63’: Pulisic fires from outside the box through traffic, on target but an easy save for Donnarumma
64’: Dembélé sprays a wild shot wayward.
71’: PSG double sub: Fabián Ruiz and Kang-in Lee on for Ousmane Dembélé and Manuel Ugarte
77’: Milan double sub: Tommaso Pobega and Yacine Adli on for Rade Krunić and Yunus Musah
78’: SAVE! Pulisic finds Leão on the left and Leão fires, just kept out of the bottom near corner by Donnarumma!
79’: Adli goes down in the box, ref immediately tells him to get up.
81’: Giroud with a header on target, but doesn’t have the power, easy save.
82’: SAVE! Maignan just gets a hand on Mbappé’s shot to push it into the far post!
82’: PSG substitution: Gonçalo Ramos on for Randal Kolo Muani
89’: GOAL PSG!! Lee Kang-In gets the dummy and takes it first time into the back of the net! That’s the dagger!
90’: Milan substitution: Simon Kjaer on for Fikayo Tomori
90+3’: PSG substitution: Nordi Mukiele on for Achraf Hakimi
FT Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 AC Milan They’re rocking in France as PSG go top of the group!
People thought Mbappe was slowing down
PSG and France are vulnerable solely for the fact that Luis Enrique and Didier Deschamps insist on starting Ousmane Dembélé
That’s was a great win, one of our best performances in the season. Players were great, no one was terrible today. We did a great job putting pressure on Milan in the final 3rd the whole match, and this resulted in many opportunities, some that we were able to convert. I thought we did well on the counter attack today as well.
Zaire-Emery needs to take a bow for that performance. Man of the Match for me.
Other great players included Mbappé, Lee Kang In, Hakimi, and Vitinha.
Krunic should never start. I would rather just roll with Adli to see what he is about. Pioli has no offensive tactics, it just relies on individual class on our players. It works in Serie A but not in Champions League. We can win Serie A but not much more.
Adli defense on the last goal is shocking tbf. He just got subbed in and he just gave up following WZE. I’ve seen he’s been good lately tho so I wish it works for you
