After the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals which took place on 04/28/2021 at 9:00 p.m. at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, we gonna spoke about who deserves to become the Man Of The Match.
Manchester City come from behind to win this first leg 2-1, with Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez following Marquinhos onto the score sheet. A late red card for Idrissa Gueye prevented PSG from really pushing to make it a first leg draw, so they’ll take a one-goal deficit to England next Tuesday. The tie is far from over, though, as PSG have already won away at Bayern Munich and Barcelona this Champions League campaign.
First Half
The Parisians leave the front and Neymar Jr. again panics the English rearguard before hitting (13th), without scoring. And by dint of insisting, PSG ends up finding the flaw. On a corner taken by Angel Di Maria, Marquinhos appears at the near post above the defense and deflects the leather which ends its race in the small net of Ederson (15th, 1-0). The Parisian hero has struck again!
الشوط الثاني: التحول المذهل من جانب مانشستر سيتي
At the hour mark, Manchester City held possession of the ball (59%) and pushed to equalize. With an acrobatic kickback, given by Riyad Mahrez, Kevin De Bruyne first grazes the crossbar of Keylor Navas (60th). Then, twenty-five meters from the goal, the Belgian midfielder centers strong in the Parisian area. Nobody touches the leather and the rebound of the ball deceives Keylor Navas, surprised (64th).
Just after the equalizer, Paris takes the water and concedes a free kick full axis. Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez show up for the shot, but it is ultimately the Algerian who hits this set piece. With a powerful shot, which pierces the Parisian wall, Mahrez deceives Keylor Navas, who had yet started on the right side (71st, 1-2). PSG bow to the Algerian crack.
Our head is locked up
After reviewing all the statistics sites we noticed that 99% chose Mahrez as the man of the match, except UEFA who decided otherwise and assigned Kevin DeBruyne as the Man of the Match. We have put the evidence to support you so that you can decide for yourself whether it is the statistical sites that are at fault or the UEFA which did not want to attribute it to the Algerians Riyad Mahrez.
The man of the match, Mahrez (7): his duel against Mitchel Bakker strongly resembled the key to the match. And contrary to what one might think, the Algerian was not really able to get the best of his opponent of the day. One on one, it rarely happened. On the other hand, he often proposed behind the Dutchman’s back when he had been followed very little in his calls. But with this kind of player, a flash of genius can quickly come. Unfortunately for PSG, the native of Sarcelles had this flash of genius on an excellent free kick (1-2, 71st). He tried a lot and was always concerned, even when his team was not doing so well. A real good match for him even if he did not weigh as much in the game as usual.
