Paris Saint-Germain managed to win against Manchester City (4-2) this Wednesday in the Champions League after a crazy match. After being down 2-0 at the start of the second half, Luis Enrique’s men were able to find the resources to equalize thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola.
The match then turned irrational with goals from Joao Neves and Gonçalo Ramos, completing the prodigious comeback of the three-time reigning French champions. This feat, which delighted many supporters of the capital club,
also did a lot of good within the Parisian locker room. This is evidenced by the statements of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the PSG goalkeeper, author of four decisive saves during this shock.
PSG one step away from round of 16
The Italian goalkeeper has no doubt that the collective state of mind was the key to success. “I hope it continues like this. And for it to continue like this, you have to work to experience this type of evening, to go far in the competition. We are a mentally strong team and the mentality was fundamental. Without that, we would have lost. Our style of play, confidence, our mentality, all that helps us win this type of match”judged the Neapolitan.
It remains to be seen whether the leader of the French championship will manage to maintain its excellent momentum (9 victories in 9 matches in all competitions). As a reminder, PSG will face Stuttgart on January 29 as part of the 8th and final day of the Champions League and will only need one point to validate their ticket for the C1 play-offs.
