AC Milan vs Paris Saint-Germain is probably the most interesting match of Tuesday in European soccer. Two of the most powerful teams on the continent are facing each other, and both are aiming to compete for the title. They are part of Group E, which also includes Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund, making it the most even and difficult group in the first round of the Champions League.

 

The Italians have the most pressure on them, as they are playing at home and with the support of their fans. Moreover, with two draws and one defeat in their first three games, they need to win to keep their chances of qualifying for the next round. The visitors are calmer: they are leaders and a draw at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium is not a bad result for them.

The start of the match was frenetic. At 9 minutes PSG netted the opener after a corner kick in which Randal Kolo Muani deflected the ball with a header and Milan Skriniar only needed to push it with his head to beat the resistance of goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

 

But the joy was short-lived for Luis Enrique's team, as only 3 minutes later Rafael Leao invented a beautiful pirouette in the air and struck the ball with his right foot to score the equaliser. It will undoubtedly be one of the best goals of the season in Europe.

 

 

He can't end the curse

Ousmane Dembélé arrived this summer at PSG from Barcelona in exchange for $50 million. This caused a lot of expectation among French fans, but as the weeks went by, patience ran out with him. This is because in his first 12 games at the club, between Ligue 1 and Champions League, he has yet to score a goal. And this Tuesday in Italy he had a chance, with a left-footed shot from outside the box, but the ball hit the crossbar and prevented him from celebrating.
