By winning (0-3) in the Italian capital this Wednesday, the Parisian club put itself perfectly back in the race for the quarter-finals.
A week ago, by winning against AS Roma (2-1), Paris SG had somewhat turned its head around in the Champions League after two defeats in two matches. This Wednesday, by repeating this time in the Italian capital (1-3), the Parisian club has completely relaunched itself in the race for one of the first two places in Group C.
Even though they were badly pushed, PSG managed to win with a very clear score (3-1) thanks to cold realism and better control of the game in the second half. Indeed, at the break, the score 1-0 in favor of the Parisiennes, following a goal from Tabitha Chawinga in the 26th minute of play, on a pass from Grace Geyoro, was rather flattering. Especially since the Polish goalkeeper of Paris, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek, saved her side with three decisive saves at close range (3rd, 35th, 43rd).
From the restart, the Romans stumbled again on the Kiedrzynek rampart (57th) before the Parisians managed to better impose their game. Marie-Antoinette Katoto doubled the lead (0-2, 67th) then Korbin Albert consolidated the success of his own (0-3, 78th). At the end of the match, Manuela Giugliano was content to save the honor for Roma (1-3, 88th).
With this success, PSG takes second place in Group C behind Ajax Amsterdam, who fell to Bayern Munich (1-0). With the prospect of hosting the Dutch team on the next day (January 24) which, in the event of further success, would allow the Parisians to take the lead and take a huge step towards qualification.
