Champions League: Correa's late winner extends PSG's winless streak

November 07, 2024 08:59 AM

Paris, Nov 7 || Paris Saint-Germain suffered a heart-breaking 2-1 loss to Spanish side Atletico de Madrid in Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League.

The loss extended PSG's winless run in the Champions League to three games.

Warren Zaire-Emery had given the hosts a 14th minute lead, only for Nahuel Molina to equalise four minutes later and Angel Correa to net the winner with the last kick of the game.

PSG set the tone from the outset, pressing high up the pitch and breaking forward at speed at every opportunity. After a first shot across the bow from Achraf Hakimi, the Parisians went ahead just before the quarter-hour mark. Ousmane Dembele robbed Clement Lenglet at the top of the box and played in Warren Zaire-Emery who chipped a subtle right-foot shot beyond Jan Oblak.

However, the celebrations inside the Parc des Princes were cut short when Nahuel Molina appeared to control the ball with his arm before firing home an equaliser against the run of play.

Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi stretched the opposition defence to free up space for Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery and Marco Asensio, dropping into midfield. But Atleti's defence held firm as both teams went into the break level at one-all.
