Given the context of the absolute domain of PSG before this decisive time, you could forgive the sudden outburst.
The reigning champions of League 1 had a markedly higher share of possession (70.5%), XG and shots, with visitors struggling to affirm any type of foot in the French capital.

A slightly lucky victory in Paris for the men of Arne Slot, but a welcome advantage on the return to Anfield in Anfield on March 11.
Arne Slot shared his verdict on Elliott’s cameo
Week a week, substitutes for the main Dutch coach continue to shock the pitch.
The question for Harvey Elliott, of course, is whether it will be allowed or not to show your skills more regularly from the starting shot.
“Darwin was in a difficult place after the village game, but he again demonstrated the importance he can be. And Harvey asked him if he was quite frustrated with me because he only has five minutes here or there, again tonight.” Slot told TNT Sports (via BBC Sport)).
“It’s a compliance for them who had an impact, but also for our staff because they have to keep these players. The players have appeared today.”
21 -year -old English will rightly argue that he has once again proved his penalty. However, it is still a tougher pitch, when it is considered as Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister.
Neither of the two start options has done much beyond a sub-par.
In the meantime, Elliott will have to move on fulfilling the standards notably high of their coach hoping to enter Liverpool’s first future in the near future.
