It was a somewhat boring match, let's be honest. PSG was below their usual level, Flamengo played by making hits, doing what everyone calls "smart fouls." Perhaps the judgment on these "tactical" fouls, which spoil the game and are sometimes very violent as we saw this Wednesday, should be reconsidered. Paris struggled to create chances, Flamengo tried their luck, in vain. Safonov was waiting to play, and the least we can say is that he is in full possession of his abilities. He gives Luis Enrique something to think about regarding his hierarchy. Zaïre-Emery was once again impressive.
