Real Madrid didn't even get the ball In the first half not to talk of pressing. Is it not when you have the ball that you will press and PSG totally denied them that in the first half. Go back and watch the game again, Real Madrid had less that 100 completed passes in the entire first half, how would a team have pressed with that kind of nonsense stats?
Lol. What have you just typed?! You've just shown you're just yet another poster with little or zero football knowledge. You're typical example of poster who listen to 92.3FM to get insight on how to post. You can press your opponents with the ball and also without the ball. I can write a full page and you may never get to comprehend whatever I'm saying. I don't just watch football but also play, so take it from me when I tell you.
Real had 24% possession in the first half, compared to 76% for PSG and it is unclear in principle what Alonso was going to do with such a huge advantage of PSG.
Of course, there are games where a team possesses the ball and 70-80% of the game time and does not win, but usually it happens when a strong club plays against an outsider, who just parks the bus in the penalty area, because there are no other chances to win or even draw, but PSG shows such a strong game that can score to any opponent, given the high class of PSG players, and Vitinho and Hakimi seem to be unstoppable.
Real definitely had problems in the game without the ball and Mbappe's appearance in the starting lineup is a very controversial decision, considering that defensively Mbappe does not like to defend and with Vinicius they very often do not find common ground on the field.
