PSG run out 2:0 winners and are in control of this tie going into the second leg in Paris. A cagey first-half ended 0:0 but then exploded into life in the second as PSG upped a gear and struck the opening goal after 53 minutes. We looked shell shocked after that and conceded a second 7 minutes later through Mbappe. PSG were rampant at that point and could easily have got another goal to really kill the tie but De Gea pulled off a couple of top saves.
As the half went on we worked our way back into the game as PSG were content to sit on their lead. We couldn't produce the necessary quality to find a goal and a way back into the tie. The loss of Lingard and Martial in the first-half really seemed to take the steam out of us. A second yellow and red card for Paul Pogba at the end really added salt to the wound.
It's a big ask in the second leg to turn this around and a disappointing night as Ole suffers his first defeat. More big games on the horizon though with Chelsea in the FA Cup on Monday, so we need to lift ourselves for that!
