It became clear early on that PSG was suffering from their lack of depth in midfield; Marquinhos has operated well in the position as a converted centreback, but was challenged in having to deal with Fekir, who had one of his best matches of the season. Fekir’s ability on the ball, coupled with the free role he was afforded meant Marquinhos had a difficult time containing the dynamic midfielder. It has been made obvious that Paris is lacking in the middle of the park without Marco Verratti, and Adrien Rabiot, which is why they acquired Leonardo Paredes during the transfer window, but the recent acquisition had not yet been assimilated into the squad in advance of the fixture and was limited to just 11 minutes off the bench. It is also important to note how ineffective Bernat, Presnel Kimpembe, and Di Maria were at trying to contain Dubois, Bertrand Traore, and Fekir on Paris’ left side. Time-and-time again Dubois and Traore were able to drift past Bernat, and put Kempembe under pressure. Overall it was a comprehensive victory for Les Gones, who executed their game plan to perfection, and saw the match out commendably –falling into a defensive position after notching their second goal.
