Sensational failure for PSG

The hegemon in French football, Paris Saint-Germain, surprisingly dropped into the quarterfinals in the League Cup. Thomas Tuchel`s team made a result of 1:2 in the middle of Parc des Princes against the last in League 1 against Guingamp and will not be able to win the tournament for the sixth consecutive time.
Nothing before the game predicted such a development. Tuchel made a very strong line in which the only unknown name was Moussa Diaby. Marco Verratti and Edinson Cavani remained on the bench, but Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel di Maria had to make the defenses of the guests who had two wins in 20 games mentioned by archive of football picks in the championship and have collected the most hits from all the teams in the elite.


In the beginning, Mbappe hit the bar, and the gaps at the door of the guests were loaded one after the other. Diaby after Neymar and Di Maria`s passes wiped out the cleanest positions until the break, but it was obvious that the Parisians were quite arrogant and did not play with the necessary concentration.
Verratti and Cavani appeared at the start of the second half and it was a clear signal that Tuchel wanted an immediate change. The Uruguayan had a chance to write with his first touch to the ball, but Karl-Johan Johnsson saved his shot with his head.


In the 60th minute the visitors won a penalty due to one of their few attacks. Thomas Meunier fouls in the penalty area Ludovic Blas, but Marcus Thuram shot over the white point door. A short while later, he made a mistake for his mistake, centering neatly at Neymar, and with his head he opened the score.
A new pass to Cavani left the intrigue alive, and in the 80th minute, Juan Bernat committed a violation, which led to a second penalty for Guingamp. This time behind the ball, there was Yeni Ngbakoto and did not make a mistake.


The real shock to the PSG came in the third minute of the added time. The guests then received a third penalty at Parc des Princes and Thuram, who made a mistake at 0:1, managed to overcome Alphonse Areola, not with the help of a certain amount of luck.
The Parisians were angry at referee and he pulled yellow cards to Neymar, Verratti and Cavani, and the sensation was a fact: PSG dropped out of the League Cup for the first time since 2012.
