00:00 [crowd cheering]
00:02 The whistle blows in Lyon,
00:06 and it's heard all the way back in Paris
00:08 and around the world.
00:09 Only as far as Maitland-Niles.
00:14 Meanwhile, on the way in,
00:16 McCunough from Betis, oh, stripped away
00:20 in what could be a takedown and a penalty.
00:23 Manuel Ugarte sneaking in the back pocket,
00:27 touched the ball free, could be a penalty,
00:30 and maybe what PSG is arguing about,
00:32 oh, it should be a red card.
00:34 It's in the area, no question, so that's a penalty.
00:38 Corentin Tolisso falling asleep at the switch.
00:41 Yeah.
00:43 And maybe Asensio saying it should also be a red.
00:46 That was that early press by PSG,
00:52 man marking the high press.
00:54 One for one from the spot, Mbappe!
00:56 Hey!
00:57 Not quite the Panenka.
00:59 It's touched by Lopes, but it can only lift it higher
01:05 into his own net.
01:06 One-nothing PSG.
01:08 The boot to it, let's see here.
01:11 That left leg coming up almost kicks it out there.
01:16 Yeah, it goes off of his leg.
01:19 So, Kylian Mbappe scores,
01:23 but it's not the best taken penalty,
01:24 but it doesn't matter.
01:26 One again, Kakei.
01:27 Noama.
01:29 Cherki.
01:30 Inside the 18.
01:33 His dancing shoes on!
01:35 That's a good thing there, teenager.
01:40 Really wanted to build his confidence.
01:44 Wide Mbappe keeps it in play.
01:49 Fans start to whistle.
01:51 Inside Vettinia.
01:53 Right at Lopes who makes the stop.
01:55 Wide looking to cross, now faking it,
02:00 caressing it in, and a chance for Lopes.
02:04 Slaps it away from Mbappe,
02:06 but right to the charging Hakimi.
02:08 - That's the strength of PSG.
02:12 He shows good composure on the ball.
02:16 A one-two with Hakimi.
02:17 Hakimi continues his run toward the face of goal.
02:22 Dembélé, very calm.
02:23 Look at, he could've burst it for it,
02:25 but instead, head up looking.
02:26 Controls, takes another look up,
02:29 and it's Mbappe crashing the goal first
02:31 that distracts the defense,
02:34 and that allows Hakimi to put that ball over the line.
02:38 Well done by PSG, especially on that right side.
02:42 That's the strong side of the attack for PSG.
02:50 That right side.
02:52 Now if that sounds a little familiar,
02:55 it probably should.
02:56 It started out back in 1999 in Accra
03:01 as a training academy.
03:03 Ball for Kakhle, inside, turning shot into the side netting.
03:08 - So to tap into that is a smart move,
03:12 especially Ghana.
03:14 Ghana's loaded with tremendous footballers.
03:17 - Stripped away, Cherki settles.
03:20 Did Donnarumma get a touch?
03:22 Cherki from the corner, loose in the 18.
03:27 Gentle touch, Dembélé starting a break the other way.
03:30 It's 3v2 if they hurry.
03:32 Asensio leading, Mbappe champing.
03:36 Settles, squares, a little heel flick, Asensio!
03:39 - Oh!
03:40 - And that might've been goal of the year by Hakimi.
03:43 - Oh, got away, they should've turned, he knows it.
03:46 - Cherki into Hernandez.
03:50 Mata moves, Cherki isolated one on one.
03:53 Hangs it in the air, Kadawire settles the shot!
03:58 Off the volley!
03:59 - The good teams from the champions
04:02 is that lethal goal scorer.
04:07 And you all, well they have it,
04:08 but he's not in the match today.
04:10 - Timed run, Asensio settles!
04:12 And that might put it to bed.
04:16 A brilliant pass in the middle.
04:19 Marco Asensio, like he was out of a slingshot!
04:23 And he buries it in the back of the net.
04:25 - I'm correct.
04:27 - And it's Ugarte.
04:28 - Oh.
04:29 - Through the eye of a needle.
04:31 - Great pass there, you could see that
04:36 Neon defense get caught sleeping.
04:38 And they've been stretched,
04:41 they've had to give up all that space in the middle
04:43 because of the presence of Mbappe on the left
04:45 and Dembele on the right.
04:49 And so, they've been stretched, too much space,
04:52 no pressure on the ball in the middle.
04:54 - He did all of that, and it starts to break the other way.
04:59 Can they get a fourth before the half?
05:04 Dembele, Mbappe!
05:08 And they came inches away.
05:11 - Raised the expectations so high
05:13 that every time he takes a shot,
05:15 I'm thinking it's gonna go in,
05:16 and he didn't miss by much there.
05:17 Once again, transition.
05:21 - Pagliarfico.
05:25 - Only two teammates forward, PSG with numbers back.
05:32 Cherki, Cagliari.
05:35 Toliso's shot blocked.
05:39 - See, no one there to track back defensively.
05:43 Marquinhos has to slide over to cover that space,
05:47 and Cherki creating problems there.
05:50 And that's something Lyon can exploit consistently there.
05:54 Down the left side of their attack with Dembele.
05:57 - And again, right down the middle, Mbappe the touch,
06:00 a delicate roller off the post!
06:03 Vitinha got it, and within one touch starts the break.
06:07 Bang, bang.
06:11 - And there's no way that's coming back.
06:14 - Absolutely, he is on.
06:16 And we said it earlier, in transition,
06:19 on the counterattack, no team is more exciting
06:23 and more lethal than PSG with Dembele, Asensio, and Mbappe.
06:27 And while Lyon's defense, they are absolutely mad right now.
06:35 (whistle blows)
06:40 - Underway to start the second half.
06:43 Part of the question,
06:45 how much is PSG?
06:49 In fact, you take a look,
06:50 looks like many of the players have taken those armbands off
06:54 as though they were bad luck.
06:56 Ball forward for Balde, his first touch.
06:59 Cuts to the inside, the big man from Guinea-Bissau
07:01 sneaks it across, down goes Donnarumma again to deny.
07:06 - Initially, it was supposed to be in the double pivot
07:09 that double pivot with Toliso,
07:10 but I didn't see him there.
07:11 Now he's part of that five man backline, so.
07:14 - Ball whipped in, grabbed by Lopes.
07:19 I just, I don't think so,
07:22 because I think they would need someone to come in
07:24 and, well, grab the attention of the locker room.
07:28 Dummyed through by Zaire Emery,
07:31 Bitinha, Hernandez, Dembele.
07:34 And it was harder to miss than to score.
07:37 Mieko Gallardo would be a fascinating move there.
07:42 - Now at the same point,
07:44 I think he would want more than an interim slot.
07:49 Would they be willing to offer more?
07:51 Let's see if Lyon can fight back here.
07:55 Nuoma, goal line denied, Donnarumma.
07:58 Glance to the back post, Donnarumma again.
08:05 Tagliafico misses, still loose,
08:08 and gobbled up by the Italian.
08:10 Tagliafico screaming for the water break.
08:12 That's all it is.
08:13 But they stopped play in the middle
08:16 rather than wait for a stoppage.
08:18 I wonder if this is also a VAR.
08:22 That's what he is doing.
08:23 He is going to take a look.
08:25 - I think this is a penalty in favor of Lyon.
08:27 I mean, there's clear contact
08:28 that Zaire Emery puts the leg out there,
08:31 and he's not trying to go for the ball either.
08:33 - So this is going back a good two, three minutes.
08:36 - Minutes, yeah.
08:37 - And it looks like Lyon will get the chance.
08:39 So that stellar stop by Donnarumma never happened.
08:43 And Lyon with a chance for a goal of honor.
08:47 - That's the chaos in the area there.
08:51 - No penalties in any competition in his entire career.
08:56 And his first against Donnarumma
08:58 with a chance to stop the bleeding.
09:02 (whistle blows)
09:03 The Italian on the line.
09:06 Toliso, two steps into the empty net.
09:11 Like he does it every day.
09:13 The shutout and clean sheet gone.
09:17 - Started with that movement with Nuama.
09:20 And Toliso for a short run up in that hesitation.
09:26 That's actually a well-placed powerful penalty there
09:29 by Coco Toliso.
09:31 So well done.
09:32 - Monaco shows a lot of promise
09:34 and they haven't even broken out their new striker.
09:38 Ball forward, Bakula inside.
09:40 Chance at the top.
09:42 Gonzalo Ramos keeps the shot down.
09:45 - Tois, I think, is part of the city football group
09:51 in France, so.
09:52 - Nice ball for Bakula.
09:54 Into the area and wide of the net.
09:59 This is a sign of, I'm sure, what was happening
10:01 around Southern France.
10:04 - For sure.
10:07 If your team is not good, you make less money
10:10 from TV revenue 'cause nobody wants to put you on TV.
10:13 - Bursting through, keeping it alive.
10:15 Geffinho, Hakimi got a little fortunate there.
10:19 - By playing Geffinho in this space, that's disappointing.
10:21 - And Kakre has been trying to put out fires for 90 minutes.
10:24 You can kind of understand if he doesn't have the legs.
10:27 - Balde was a substitute.
10:29 Can they add a fifth?
10:30 Change of pace, but on the wrong side of the pipe.
10:34 - What a big time result for PSG.
10:37 Beyond, a lot of work to do defensively.
10:39 (crowd chanting)
10:42 (crowd chanting)
10:45 (electronic music)
10:48 (whooshing)
