Page 5 - Manchester United 0-2 PSG: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis

#1 Manchester United has a mountain to climb in Paris

Solskjaer and his men have their tasks cut out

Against PSG, the Red Devils were expected to roll back the clock and manufacture one of those vintage European displays. However, it all ended in a damp squib with the home side producing an average performance.

To compound their woes, the home side saw their talisman, Pogba, being given his marching orders. Courtesy the red card, the Frenchman is now suspended for the return leg.

Though PSG has contrived to let a four-goal first-leg lead slip in the past (yes, we’re talking about that night in Barcelona), the French Champions are a tougher nut to crack at home. Additionally, the Barcelona side that turned around the mentioned deficit contained the likes of Messi, Suarez and a certain Neymar.

While United’s players are certainly no push-overs, the prospect of them scoring three goals in Paris looks incredibly bleak. Legend says one can never say never in a game of football and especially so in the Champions League.
