Not the best performance from PSG but totally deserved win in particular during the second half where PSG had the control of the ball rather easily. Could have secured the victory earlier if Lavezzi, Pastore or Jallet scored.
lyon did a good job at keeping zlatan quiet, besides his freekicks I don't think he had a proper shot at goal at all during the 2nd half pastore is going back to his old 42mill price tag form, I think I even heard his name chanted
win is a win ! BABY !!!!!!! 3 points !!!ALLEZ PARIS Menez is really world class great player in both halfs ,cheap yellow in the second half Lyon played amazing Defense in all respect !
Unlike the recent games, he came lower to get the ball instead of sticking upfront but Ibra, like Pastore, is involved in almost all the opportunities PSG had to score.
isn't it logical? your top scorer and main goal guy was playing further down, not getting proper chances to strike, the task to score fell to others who are less clinical, who came close though lyon played a good part defensively/ vercoute making saves to hinder the scoreline
I believe that he tried to get ball further down because, during the first half, the midfield didn't make the link between the defense and attack as well as we could have expected. Ancelotti pointed it out "l'axe" at the end of the match. It was rather symbolic that the only time that Matuidi brought something offensively during the first half it ended up a goal. It was much better in the second half, though. IMHO, during this particular game I have not find that Ibra penalized the way the team plays by trying to get further down unlike some past matches where it was excessive. He got an assist, he made a superb pass for Pastore's first scoring chance, he had a scoring chance by the end of the first half cleared by Vercoutre...
Everyone wants to stop PSG, says Ibrahimovic Les Parisiens front man believes that other teams are determined to undermine his side's chances of success and give them "extraordinary treatment" on the field Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said Paris Saint-Germain receive "extraordinary treatment" from opposition sides, adding that he believes teams target them due to their high-profile reputation. Les Rouge-et-Bleu sit top of Ligue 1 with 38 points from their 19 fixtures so far, leading second-placed Olympique Lyonnais due to a superior goal difference. And Ibrahimovic claims that French football is tougher than it is often perceived, but that it is especially difficult for him and his side. "I feel that I'm under a lot of scrutiny," the Swedish forward revealed in an interview with the club's official website. "Eveywhere I go, people pounce on the least little thing I do. I just need to get used to it, because Paris are really in the limelight right now. "But it's fine, that's how things go. When you want to be at the top, you have to accept extraordinary treatment. "Everyone wants to throw a spanner in our works to stop us from fulfilling our ambitions. In the team, we all have the same objectives and we're not going to let anything get in our way."
