PARIS (AP) – Paris Saint-Germain’s onslaught saved a sloppy defense in Wednesday’s Champions League game against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

PSG won 5-2 at home in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match, but PSG’s late goal overturned another mediocre defensive performance.<\/p>\n

Until now, PSG the back is very bad<\/span> They have struggled in recent weeks and have now conceded 12 goals in seven games, including seven in their last three home games, with Chelsea’s 28th-minute equalizer coming from a non-existent marker.<\/p>\n

Left-back Nuno Mendes was nowhere to be seen, and right-back Maro Gusto, completely unmarked, ran into the path of Enzo Fernandes and fired a shot past goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, but the goalkeeper could not get a firm grip on the ball.<\/p>\n

Safonov took the No. 1 jersey from Lucas Chevalier, who was signed in the off-season to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma. made a mistake<\/span> That took away his place. Neither goalkeeper has the profile or big match experience of Donnarumma, who won the European Championship with Italy.<\/p>\n

Chelsea scored an equalizer in the 57th minute after Desiree Douai clumsily lost the ball on the halfway line. Pedro Neto gathered the ball and sped down the left flank, easily beating captain Marquinhos and setting the pace, squaring the ball for Fernandes to score near the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

Chelsea had Jo\u00e3o Pedro’s goal ruled out for offside late in the game, but they got another goal after easily breaking through PSG’s defense on a counter-attack.<\/p>\n
