Wow! Brugge keep Messi, Neymar and Mbappé at bay and get a point against PSG
Apart from Sheriff Tiraspol’s victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, the most surprising result of Wednesday’s Champions League programme was undoubtedly the draw that secured Bruges a point against PSG. The Belgian side held off a star-studded attack and the match ended 1-1.
Apart from Sheriff Tiraspol’s win over Shakhtar Donetsk, the most surprising result of Wednesday’s Champions League programme was undoubtedly the draw that secured Bruges a point against PSG. The Belgian side kept their stellar attack at bay and the match ended 1-1.
Bruges were able to enjoy a spectacular event on Wednesday. They hosted PSG in the Champions League group stage, with a stellar attacking trio playing together for the first time.
Specifically, of course, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.
The French side took the lead in the 15th minute when Ander Herrera scored after a Mbappe pass, but Hans Vakanen equalised in the 27th minute to make it 1-1.
If anyone expected this to be a fluke draw, they were sorely mistaken. PSG had more of the ball, but the home side were more active in terms of shooting. Had they been more productive, it could have been an even bigger sensation.
But Bruges were also lucky. Messi came close to scoring his first goal in his new jersey, but his beautiful shot from outside the box hit only the crossbar.
However, this is a very important point for the Belgian team, which is worth gold.
