PSG joins Paris FC and Olympique Lyonnais for a magnificent French trio which will approach the group stage of the Champions League with ambition. Despite a little scare at the start of the second period, the PSG women won this Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes against the English Manchester United (3-1) during the 2nd preliminary round return. After a draw in the first leg (1-1) where they were pushed around, the Parisiennes produced a serious and successful score to continue their European adventure.
Completely in control during the first act, PSG quickly took the measure of the Mancuniennes and logically opened the score thanks to an opportunistic goal from its Dutchwoman Lieke Martens who took advantage of a Chawinga strike deflected by Earps (1-0, 17th).
Upon returning from the locker room, the game gets carried away. The Brazilian from MU Geyse enters the penalty area and crosses towards Naalsund who equalizes with a point-blank shot (1-1, 47th). Parisians have no time to doubt. On the engagement, Chawinga makes a ride on the right flank before serving Martens who concludes from close to the right (2-1, 48th). Liberated, Jocelyn Prêcheur’s daughters made the break straight away thanks to a personal exploit from Baltimore who lobbed Earps (3-1). The Mancuniennes do not give up, but the attempts of Zelem (69th), Galton (71st), Geyse (78th) and Toone on the bar (90th + 4) narrowly fail. PSG can breathe. He was able to avoid this tricky qualifying round to open the doors to the Champions League group stage with his two French rivals. A first.
