The head of this collective debacle is Nasser El Khelaifi. Rather attracted by what shines, the PSG boss had a huge appetite at the start of the season by transferring Gigio Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Giorginio Wijnaldum and Lionel Messi. A transfer window supposed to further grow the Ile-de-France club in the European concert. But once morest the White House, none of these players might bring the spark to bend the match when it was well underway (PSG led 0-1). None might raise their heads when they conceded the equalizing goal, synonymous with the tipping point in the game. Donnarumma was directly incriminated on the first goal of the triptych of Benzema, guilty of an approximation of which little is known regarding him. Sergio Ramos was still in treatment. Wijnaldum on the bench. Hakimi little in verve on his right flank. Messi once more not decisive in the numbers despite an otherwise interesting game.
As often in recent years, PSG will have stacked the stars, without managing to weld its collective. This collective which might have allowed the players to raise their heads at the equalizing goal and to remember that, a few seconds before that, they were far superior to the people of Madrid.
