PSG press review: Barcola’s future still uncertain | OneFootball

This Friday, December 12, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's difficulties with Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old forward, as he disappointed during the 0-0 draw against Athletic Bilbao (6th day of the Champions League).

L’Equipe –

It's hard to deny that Barcola has not fully managed to establish himself or satisfy during the absences of Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old) and Désiré Doué (20 years old). Of course, not having them by his side doesn't help. But we would have liked to see him more decisive and a "leader of the attack." However, he still lacks efficiency and consistency, as seen in his performance in Bilbao.

It would be unfair to place the sole responsibility for the draw on him, as the entire team could have done better. However, one inevitably thinks of the opportunities Barcola had that could have resulted in goals. Barcola will need to work further to reach a new level if he wants to establish himself more. It remains to be seen if he will be able to make this leap. Let's remember, though, that it will also be easier to shine with the return of these highly creative players. Football remains a collective sport above all.
