This is precious. After starting his European campaign with two defeats in a row against Ajax (2-0) and Bayern (0-1), in what many consider to be the “group of death” of this edition of the League of women’s champions, the Parisiennes scored a second victory in a row this Wednesday evening in the competition at AS Roma (1-3).

La Louve, which PSG had already beaten at the Parc des Princes (2-1) last week, once again offered great opposition. But Paris was able to be more effective in front of goal. As often this season, the capital club was able to rely on the composure of its Malawian attacker Tabitha Chawinga, who enhanced a very good pass from Geyoro and deceived Caesar with a subtle ball (0-1, 26th).

The Parisian captain and her attacker constantly weighed on the Roman defense, and it was also the first scorer who transformed into a passer for Marie-Antoinette Katoto, who tried a lot without success (10th, 34th, 47th , 65th) but who ended up shaking the nets, served on a plate in the area by her teammate, alone against the Roman goalkeeper (0-2, 67th).

Kiedrzynek décisive

However, the Lupes did not deserve anything, and even dominated the game (58% possession, 18 shots to 9) during a large part of the match. But above all they came up against a Katarzyna Kiedrzynek on fire against Viens (35th), Giugliano (42nd, 76th) or Serturini (57th). Above all, they cracked from the break goal, letting the Parisiennes develop their game and score the 3-0 goal by the young Korbin Albert, receiving a beautiful cross from Karchaoui on the left side (0-3, 76th ). Quite rightly, the Italians were rewarded with a goal from Giugliano on a very nice direct free kick (1-3, 88th).

With this victory, the Parisiennes are getting back on track in this group stage of the Champions League. They are now 2nd, a small point behind Ajax, winner in the other match of the evening against Bayern (1-0). It is precisely the Dutch that the Reds and Blues will face on January 24.
