Press review: PSG and Paris FC crash out after wasteful finishing | OneFootball

This Tuesday, January 13, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on the Paris Saint-Germain side regarding their elimination in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France last night against Paris FC at the Parc des Princes. A 0-1 loss that hurts.

It's football and a cup match: defeat can come in an "unjust" way, but the verdict is the same. PSG is eliminated from the Coupe de France in the round of 32, which is a surprise and a failure. But it's also football, you can't win everything all the time. No one can, there is no magic formula.

What's sad for PSG is that they didn't face a particularly strong opponent. Not even really the goalkeeper, even though he made several saves. There were also some shots that were too much on target and poor choices. Enough to make one forget his few mistakes in passing, like those of his teammates.

PSG had more than enough chances to win, and by a wide margin at that. However, efficiency is also part of football. In this regard, Paris FC was better. This should not be overlooked, as it makes the difference between victory and defeat in this match. The Parisians can particularly blame themselves for sometimes wasting opportunities with choices more focused on individual spectacle than collective efficiency. This often ends up costing, especially when there is an added layer of clumsiness.

Now, as mentioned above, it's football. There's no need to dramatize or question everything. PSG remains a very fine team and there are great things still to be accomplished. It's time to get back to work and in the right direction.
