Paris Saint - Germain 1 - 3 Manchester Utd: Miracle at the Parc des Princes

Along with that, the storm of injuries swept through Old Trafford, taking away their pillars such as: Jeser Lingard, Maltial, Herrera, Mactic, Sanchez, Valencia, Darmian, Mata... and more importantly, the absence of the "lung" named Paul Pogba - a leader of MU's midfield because of the red card.

However, being 2 goals behind in the first leg does not mean that everything is over. Coach Solskjaer and his team are still hoping for a "miracle" like it happened last night at the Santiago Bernabeu, when Ajax had an incredible 1-4 comeback against Real Madrid in the second leg after losing the first leg 1-2, thereby turning Real into the former champion.

In contrast to MU, PSG is in extremely good form, when in the domestic league they have almost no rivals in the championship race. Neymar is the most regrettable absence as this player did not recover from injury in time.

However, with or without Neymar, or even Edison Cavani, PSG still showed that they are a strong team and suffocated the "Red Devils" at the "Theater of Dreams" with a 2-goal difference and this time, coach Thomas Tuchel and his team are full of confidence to suffocate the "Red Devils" once again at Parc des Princes as they did before with their opponents at Old Trafford.

Entering the match, MU was the team that clearly showed determination when in the 2nd minute of the match, Lukaku responded to the fans' expectations by stealing the ball after the opponent's defender's wrong pass, dribbling past Buffon to put the ball into an empty net to open the score for the match.

Conceding a goal, the French team seemed to wake up and push up their formation to besiege goalkeeper De Gea's goal. Facing the terrible attack of PSG, MU players were forced to retreat to defend, especially the left wing where Di Maria appeared. In the 12th minute of the match, Juan Bernat rushed in to cushion the ball after a pass from Mbappe, the score was balanced 1 - 1.

In the 30th minute of the match, experienced goalkeeper Buffon made a mistake when he let the ball bounce out. After a shot from MU players, Lukaku was there in time to tap the ball into the empty net, raising the score to 2 - 1 for MU.

Overall, in the first half, PSG controlled the ball and created more dangerous situations, but could not equalize the score.

Entering the second half, PSG was still the team controlling the game, and was cautious in every attack. If they conceded just one more goal, it would be a "disaster" for the home team. Despite controlling the ball a lot and constantly pressing the field, PSG players still could not create real opportunities while Man Utd players defended tightly, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The turning point of the match took place in the 90 +1 minute, the referee paused the match to consult VAR due to a situation where the ball touched the hand of defender Kimpembe in the penalty area. And the decision was made. On the 11m mark, Rashford coolly finished off goalkeeper Buffon. PGS 1 - 3 MU.

The 10 minutes of extra time in the second half could not change the outcome of the match when the aggregate score of the first and second leg was (3 - 3) and MU won a ticket to the quarter-finals according to the away goals rule, at the same time ending PSG's ambition in the Champions League.
