A Lieke Martens double helped Paris Saint-Germain into the Champions League group stage with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Manchester United
Qualifying 2nd leg: PSG 3-1 Man Utd Manchester United’s dream of a Champions League run is over, a 3-1 defeat by the two-time finalists Paris Saint-Germain denying them a place in the group stage for the first time.
They had come from behind to level in a Parc des Princes rocked by the bouncing PSG ultras that banked together beneath a “” banner at one end, but the home team’s patience and Champions League experience gave them the edge over their challengers, seeing out a 4-2 win over the two legs. PSG were the more comfortable side in the first half, happy to hold on to the ball and be patient. It was somewhat inevitable that they would land the first blow as a result. Just 10 minutes in they went close, Mary Earps made a hash of coming out to meetand the forward skipped the ball around her hoping to roll it into the empty net but Maya Le Tissier recovered to clear and spare her goalkeeper’s blushes.
United were not without chances but they struggled to make the final ball count, Toone dragging an effort wide shortly before the break. Skinner had said his side would need to be more ruthless against PSG than they were against Leicester, but there was little sign of it.Perhaps that was the message Skinner tried to drum into his players at half-time, because whatever was said, the United players re-entered the fray with the bit between their teeth, equalising in the 47th minute.
