PSG Faces European Setback Against Atlético Madrid
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) suffered a disappointing defeat against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, losing 2-1 at the Parc des Princes on November 6. The match marked another setback for Luis Enrique's squad, which has struggled in the group stage, managing only four points from four matches. This defeat raises concerns about their chances of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
In a match that began with promise for PSG, young talent Warren Zaïre-Emery opened the scoring in the 14th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error by Clément Lenglet. However, the lead was short-lived as Molina equalized for Atlético just four minutes later. Despite dominating possession, PSG failed to convert their chances, culminating in a last-minute goal from Ángel Correa that sealed their fate.
Following the match, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi addressed the team, emphasizing the need for unity and resilience. He reassured the players that the club is in a phase of construction and that they must continue to progress without panic. Al-Khelaïfi acknowledged the absence of key players, including striker Gonçalo Ramos, and reiterated the importance of collective growth. The next challenge for PSG will be against Bayern Munich on November 26, where they will seek to turn their fortunes around.
