Three games. One win. No goals from the forwards.
Judging by Paris Saint-Germain’s performances so far, the revamped Champions League format could actually prove to be PSG’s salvation because it may have struggled to qualify under the previous group format.
Tuesday’s 1-1 home draw in the league stage against PSV Eindhoven, the Dutch league leader, exposed familiar weaknesses in defense while PSG no longer has galacticos like Kylian Mbappé or Neymar to decide tight matches.
Poor marking led to PSV’s goal from left winger Noa Lang and, after right back Achraf Hakimi had equalized early in the second half, PSV twice threatened a late winner from counterattacks.
