—Highlights: Paris – Real Madrid 1:0–

1:0: Kylian Mbappé (90.+4)
The 23-year-old’s fifth goal of the season was the highlight of a rather one-sided game. When all spectators had already resigned themselves to a 0-0 draw, the Frenchman struck out of nowhere. He was played by Neymar on the left wing, dribbled towards Lucas Vázquez and Éder Militão, slipped between the two and then left Thibaut Courtois, who had been so strong up to that point, in the Real goal.

Best Player: Kylian Mbappe

The hosts shot at Real Madrid 21 times, but it took a stroke of genius from Mbappé to defeat Courtois. Previously, the Belgian had saved everything, including a Lionel Messi penalty.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti tried to slow down Mbappé in the second half with fresh defenders, but neither Rodrygo nor Lucas Vázquez were up to the striker that day.

formations

The Formation of Paris–

Paris
Paris went for a 4-3-3 with Mbappé (7) in his favorite position on the left wing, Messi (30) just behind the foremost point in the center and Ángel Di María (11) moving slightly into the middle from the right .

The role of Danilo (15), who first played in right midfield, was striking, but kept dropping when attacking full-back Achraf Hakimi (2) marched forward. When not in possession of the ball himself, Danilo tried – mostly with success – to prevent Toni Kroos (8) from developing.

Madrid Formation–

Real Madrid
Like Paris, Real also opted for a 4-3-3, but the team succumbed that night due to their inability to keep the ball in their own ranks. In the end, the Madrilenians only managed a miserable 43% possession.

In the first ten minutes of the second half, Real’s best period of the game, Dani Carvajal (2) held back with his offensive excursions and Ferland Mendy (23) tried to find the gap on the left to pick up Vinícius Júnior (20) from to use the goal line. But Real’s best chance was a long-range shot by Kroos, which hissed just over the bar.

The coaches’ opinion

Mauricio Pochettino, Paris
“By putting pressure on their midfielders, we stopped their passing paths. We wanted to win the ball as early as possible and controlled the game for 90 minutes. We didn’t allow very many chances.”

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid
“We didn’t get the ball out well from behind and we made a lot of bad passes because of their pressing. They did that really well. We should have defended better in the second half.”
