Paris 1-0 Real Madrid: magic goal from Ebape at 90+4′ by Cerbero Courtois

Paris were the only team to step onto the lawn of the “Parc des Princes” but were almost stepped on by Real for the Champions League round of 16, thanks largely to the impressive Thibaut Courtois. However, Killian Ebape’s goal in the 4th minute of delay gave her a just victory 1-0.

The Merenges goalkeeper made a number of saves, particularly against the Frenchman, intercepting a Lionel Messi penalty, but Ebape had the last word and celebrated furiously.

Despite only three finals (a negative record in the 2003-2004 Meringue Cup, as well as a difference of 18 with those of Paris), Carlo Ancelotti’s team stayed alive in the qualifier that will be settled on March 9 at the “Santiago Bernabéu”.

Paris immediately got the ball on their feet, also with Real’s blessing. A shot from Angel di Maria in good conditions through the penalty area in the 4th minute gave an idea of ​​what was to come. The clash between Killian Ebape and Danny Carvajal on a wing was quite unfair for the Spanish right-back as the French forward wanted to prove Real will roll out a golden carpet to take it from the Parisians in the summer.

Courtois stopped him in a four-on-four from Messi’s magical pass but the dangers at his home weren’t limited there as the hosts had settled at Real Stadium. Messi’s tendency to center left Ebape alone against many opponents and so despite dominance, the chances (but also the finals in general) were created for Paris with the dropper.

The 2nd half started without a change, but with many endgames. The Parisians tried from everywhere, especially Ebape, but he found Courtois in front of him again. The same goes for Nuno Mendes on a try from 35 meters when the Belgian goalkeeper managed to be the first to chase ahead of Ebape, who came out in a foursome.

Mauricio Pochettino’s players remained stationed outside Real’s area, looking for a hole. When she was found, Carvajal Ebape fell and the referee awarded a penalty. Messi was preparing to score against Real after seven goalless games but Courtois again said ‘no’ from eleven yards.

The two managers delayed their move, with Carlo Ancelotti replacing Carvajal with Lucas Bathketh and the late Marco Asensio with Rodrigo and Pochettino, giving Neymar the chance for a comeback in November.

Messi and Ebape continued to fire from all ranges to beat Courtois but the Belgian was unreachable for 94 minutes. In the latter stages of the game, Ebape made an amazing move, playing between Bathketh and Eder Millitao, placing from the left and beating his tall opponent in the game to give his team the lead in their second game in three weeks.
