Ramos’ Resurgence: Goncalo Ramos showcased his growing confidence with a crucial goal to rescue PSG from a potential embarrassing defeat. Despite hitting the woodwork multiple times, Ramos’ persistence paid off as he secured an important point for the team.
Missed Opportunity for Muani: Randal Kolo Muani failed to make a significant impact during his 67 minutes on the pitch, raising doubts about his consistency and ability to contribute regularly to the team’s success.
Looking Ahead: With a heavily rotated squad against Clermont Foot, PSG now shifts their focus to the upcoming Champions League clash against Barcelona. Key players like Mbappe are expected to return to the starting lineup for the crucial quarter-final tie.
