PSG full-backs are vital to their success

The two PSG full-backs for this fixture were Aurier and Maxwell. Aurier, playing in his first Champions League game, was instrumental, scoring the first PSG goal after seven minutes, coincidently, from a Maxwell cross. Before swinging in an exquisite ball for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score their third, the talisman was unable to get proper contact on the ball but with the help of Srna the goal stood.

Equally impressive was his defensive workrate, making several important challenges and blocks that showed the resilience of this PSG side. Maxwell was equally impressive on the other flank. A perfect cross for Aurier’s goal was his key highlight followed by some equally impressive defending. It is a wonder why Laurent Blanc felt the need to sign Layvin Kurzama when he cannot break into the 11.
