Gianluigi Donnarumma and Kylian Mbappe’s lackluster performances were the downfall of Paris Saint-Germain as they fell 3-2 to Barcelona at Parc des Princes. Donnarumma’s errors allowed Barcelona to score freely, while Mbappe was stifled by the defense and struggled to make an impact.
Raphinha capitalized on Donnarumma’s mistake to put Barcelona ahead before half-time, with Ousmane Dembele equalizing early in the second half. Vitinha then added a second for PSG, but Barcelona fought back with Raphinha completing his brace and Andreas Christensen heading in the winner.
Donnarumma’s poor goalkeeping was evident throughout the game, with Marquinhos being the only standout defender for PSG. Mbappe failed to make a mark on the game, while Vitinha was a shining light in midfield.
The substitutes made minor impacts, but overall PSG’s performance was lackluster. Manager Luis Enrique’s decisions were questionable, and PSG now face an uphill battle in the second leg in Spain.
