In Round 19 of the French league, PSG faced a tough away test against Auxerre, who are hovering near the relegation zone. The Parisians earned a narrow win on the opponent’s ground after a lot of hard work. This was reported by euro-football.ru reports .
Throughout the match, Bradley Barcola kept wasting chances and looked like the unluckiest player on the pitch. However, after Ousmane Dembélé came on from the bench, Barcola picked up, and it was this duo that created the winning goal in the 79th minute.
At the same time, several PSG players failed to justify their performances. According to the source’s rating, the most criticism went to centre-forward Gonçalo Ramos: he was unhappy about being replaced by Dembélé in the 62nd minute, yet he himself was not effective enough during the game.
Another target of criticism was Warren Zaïre-Emery on the right flank. In the second half, Auxerre launched several dangerous attacks through his zone, and opposing players repeatedly beat Zaïre-Emery in dribbling situations.
Centre-backs Ilya Zabarnyi and Lucas Beraldo also could not play error-free. Even when they tried to cover for Zaïre-Emery’s shortcomings, there were issues controlling Auxerre’s attackers inside the box, and in one episode Beraldo made a mistake directly inside the penalty area.
