Paris Saint-Germain had more possession of the ball during the match and took the initiative for most of the 90 minutes, but they couldn’t break through Atlético’s defense, which has become a trademark of coach Diego Simeone.
The match started with some hope for the French side. In the 13th minute, Zaire-Emery opened the scoring with a beautiful goal, but the celebration was short-lived. Just four minutes later, in the 17th minute, Molina equalized for Atlético.
From that point on, PSG had up to 85% possession, but they failed to seriously threaten Oblak’s goal. Known for their defensive solidity rather than flashy football, Atlético Madrid expertly held off the Parisian attack. And things got even better for the Spaniards.
In the 66th minute, Simeone’s tactical move paid off. The coach brought Ángel Correa onto the field, and it was his feet that delivered the winning goal for Atlético in the dying moments of the match.
With this result, Atlético Madrid finds some breathing room, moving up to 23rd place and into the playoff zone with six points from four matches. PSG, on the other hand, remains in a critical situation. From 12 points available, Luis Enrique’s team has only earned four, and they are currently on track to be eliminated from the competition.
